  All must be ready to obey...

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower

  in view of the recent financial pressures being spun as opportunities to hasten armageddon, i think we should look again at the meaning behind their cultic warning of "all must be ready to obey intructions, whether appearing sound or not".

  by dripping these creepy injunctions into the watchtower study and therefore into the conditioned and receptive mind of the jw, how long will it be before they are able to decree something like this?......

  i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

  here is the email: .

  ---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

  It's looking pretty obvious that this is a cost cutting maneuver. Maybe the loan forgiveness pledge plan back fired and they are not getting anywhere near the money they thought. They may have also not stole as much money from the congregations as they hoped for. In the end being a religion that has lied all these years stating money was never their concern didn't need or want it has come back to bite them. Their members are poor their congregations are poor and only the equity in the properties in New York made them solvent. Maybe just hopefully their solvency is gone.

  Calm Down Everybody, We Will Know Soon Enough

  seriously, they will change the midweek meeting ever so slightly.

  it is just repackaging of the same old stuff.seriously, we don't know if construction is halted for days, weeks, months, forever, or what.. we don't know if new kingdom halls will still go up, old kingdom halls will be closed and sold.

  they have laid off bethelites before and they will lay them off some more.

  Well let's just remember these are the same idiots that came up with the overlapping generations teaching, so let keep going with the speculations, this is fun.

  Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"

  by sparrowdown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my thoughts are.

  1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.

  i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

  They don't want people to read the Bible, newbie don't want to be apart of witnessing or public speaking.

  i keep seeing references to the 750 million in sales of the nyc properties and confusion around the apparent cash flow problems of the wtbt society.

  here's the reality.

  if they went, to a bank and asked for loans for the buildings here's what a bank would say, "absolutely.

  D&B doesn't list them as a religion it's printing and real-estate holy cow that's Huge!

  Elder Newton, what's your thought on why the real estate building shut down, one would think the money grab would have been enough for a float?

  There is a reason the mass exodus hasnt happaned yet

  before i was fully awake (i was never really) i would use the time at the meetings for day dreaming, for solving work related problems (in my mind) or just simply not fully listening to the talks.

  after awhile everything just sounds all the same to you, nothing new.

  think about it, i was really disappointed when they got rid of the announcements part, because actually thats the only part, where you could have heard something new (when the announcements where not from the kingdom ministry of course).

  Yeah something wierd going on, they seem to have become a real estate investment firm so if that's the case why didn't they borrow money against some of the property in new York to use to convert some of these properties into condos or whatever that would get them the most return on investment, instead of just selling them.

  I'm with leaving-quietly, criticism about them or one of their doctrines will be introduced here then later they will make a change. One example people here have posted about how little the Borg mentioned Jesus. One poster even had charts showing that the Borg was mentioning him less and less. Well this year's theme at the RC was all about Jesus.

  They use this site to see how their teachings and propaganda are taken by the people hearing it.

  Another ruse?

  by Pistoff in

  could the stopping of construction be just another ruse to squeeze money from the rank and file?.

  it will certainly generate buzz like nothing else..

  It doesn't make sense a rule, the rank and file are stupid an not informed. Most will never know the construction has stopped. Most never new about the royal commission. If your going to do something to get more money from the r&f there's better ways.
