This just goes to show that behind their spiritual face their evil or at least their handlers are. It would seem according things written by guys like Ray Franz that the spiritual leader didn't have much of a clue when it came to money decisions. So while thier off believing and leading the congregations the puppet masters are really pulling the string for other reasons.

Another case in point the purchase of the Towers hotel in Brooklyn New York January of 1975. A building that needed lots of renovations before it could be used yet the end of the world was coming in just a few months. Could not the money have been better used to advertise advertise advertise the coming Kingdom of God!??

Dealing with Elderly Parents Who Still Believe the jw Religion is the truth

by lancelink in

i left the religion back in 2008 right after my mother died,( the total lack of natural love/ affection was the final straw for me).. but my dad has become more and more focused on doing the wt bidding.. it just amazes me how he gushes on and on about the last days, his new bible studies, and meeting parts .

but yet he makes no effort to have any type of relationship with his grandkids, there are 5 of them , non are witnesses.

they are the children from several different sisters of mine, and myself.. so how do you deal with the witness stuff always being presented in conversations?.

Use this as a teaching point to your grandkids , get them to see how people can be controlled by other people and religion etc to not have love or affection for people not just like them.

Who is benefiting from Watchtower Corporation financially

by John Davis in

who do you believe is financially benefiting from watchtower business dealings.

i know about the gold apple watch, but that is only a small percentage of the billions that they have.

so who do you think is keeping all of this money.

Crazyguy

We have to remember the corporate officers are a different set of cats then the GB. I'm willing to bet the GB don't have a clue about monitory issues. You can see that a few years ago when one minute they were talking about all the new construction work to be done then the next minute GB Sam Herd is reading a letter talking about tons of cut backs.

In the end I agree with others that the money is probably being put back in to the corporation to keep it moving and investing with out a crazy amount being pilfered by someone. At the same time one also has to believe that someone high up or an attorney has figured out away to steal some of the money away. Not hard to imagine since the place is being run by a bunch of idiots!

Crazyguy

Dugout, except for being and elder I'm regretting I didn't do much of the same when I was at least single. I messed around and dated a lot of sisters but remained a gentleman, now I'm regretting it. We only live once so we should all have as much fun as possible!

Russia Threatens to Target US Jets in Syria

by cofty in

on sunday a us jet shot down a syrian military government fighter plane after it dropped bombs close to us backed kurdish soldiers.. russia who backs erdogan has reacted with a threat to target us jets over syria and withdraw from communication arrangements designed to prevent us - russian conflict in the region.. the threat of a hot war between the usa and russia is growing rapidly....

Crazyguy

This whole thing is a joke! Isis got its start because the Baathists and Sunnis wanted their power back in Iraq. I also believe someone from the states financially supported them to keep the Kurds at bay and go into Syria, keep war going since it's big business. Assad of Syria backs them because they were taking out all the rebel groups poping up to take him out. Russia is supporting Assad and the US doesn't seem to know who to back.

They don't want to support any rebel group not knowing what they'll turn into. Can't or won't support the Kurds beyond small arms so as to not upset the Turks. Iran and several other middle eastern states have gotten involved, it's just a crazy mess and in the end the innocent civilians are the ones getting killed!

This is what happens when you have a regime that invades a country because they want the oil and to stop the leader from selling his oil for another currency, doing all this with out a plan for after the war.

The Alliances for Constitutional Sex Offenders Laws

by John Davis in

i was listening to the news today and heard of this organization.

it advocates for the removal of sex offenders registries or at least the reduction of its use and who has to register for it.

just one example of its work is to advocate for what the la district attorney's office is doing by working with sex offenders to get their names off the registry.

Crazyguy

Without reading all their stuff and getting some experience with regards to their practices it would be impossible to tell. With that said I think their trying to change things so that not all child sexual activity is judged the same.

Case in point , I know of two young men age 18 that had a sexual relations with a younger teenager, in both cases I believe the females were 16. Both were charged then when all things were settled they were put on the registry as sex offenders. Both had to go through all the stipulations as if they had molested a 3 year old and treated by the authorities and people in the community as if they had indeed molested a 3 year old because know one knew the details.

Im not saying having sex with a teenager is ok but what I'm thinking these guys are trying to do is get the rules changed so that young men's lives aren't destroyed forever for sleeping with some one a year or two younger then them. Some states have even changed their rules so these types offenses are not judge and prosecuted the same.

what about the young jw`s who see this and are told this is not for a jw ,its making a name for yourself where you should be highlighting jehovahs name and his organization.. but do the young ones see the organization taking the successfull jw`s in their field to task for making a name for themselves ?

iwant to be a world skater ?i want to be a 1st class footballer?

Crazyguy

I knew a guy that was a good athlete but wasn't allowed to play in school. He dropped out and helped his parents work their business because who needs school with the end being so near. He did play football around town , that's the sport he love the most and when he was a bit older people would ask him what college did he play for since he was so good they assumed he was also playing at college. But nope no college just work.

The denial of 1975 when and how did they go about it.

by Crazyguy in

i was pretty young in 1975, all i remember was a few complaining at the hall after and those at the door that razed us over it.

does anyone remember how they went about denying it and when this started.

i do remember a scripture in psalms about people being mighty and living longer so this was used.

But not sure when they started denying it imminently or after a few years? I knew an elder that came in and was baptized in 1986 and he was of the belief that they never predicted 1975 . So the denial was still going on despite the admissions in 1980

If you were a J.W. before July 2013..................

by The Searcher in

....................then you couldn't have been "in the truth" nor was "the truth in you" until july 2013, because that month's watchtower was dedicated to reversing the following 8 "truths" and replacing them with opposing "truths".

you'd been believing and teaching falsehoods.. these are for any new members and those j.w.

Before I stopped going I professed to being one of the anointed. I guess I could go back and if they tried to df me I could use the no evil slave argument, lol.
