Steven Lett asks for money again

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

the 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.

the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!

personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

OK, so I just downloaded and watched Lett do his thing. I have to say that of all the broadcasts that I have seen to date, this one and the May money grab are the two that will wake people up. It's really bad. I mean it's like looking outside and seeing 10 feet of snow. The BS meeting reads really high on this one.

Whenever a JW is at the door and the householder starts to go into why this or why that about God and the BS meet starts to go way up, well both witnesses can get the same feeling. Well, we all know on this board that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what we all saw on this broadcast. And even the hardcore JW will have to see at least some of the BS in this. One thing I think that they will see is that the org is pretty well broke and that they are working with little cash to get the rest of Warwick built.

Now if the rank and file are forward thinking at the least little bit perhaps they will think, "what will they do with all the money once they sell the property in Brooklyn?" But I wouldn't get my hopes up. My two cents.

Outlaw - you crack me up. The look on Lett's face! And the Op's photo of Lett with the adda-boy look on Lett's face like "there you go, we did it again. We just suckered the whole bunch for their money again-look" It's priceless!

Almost made me laugh off my chair.

My First post

by Simple Minds in

i have been lurking on this site for 3 years and this is my fist post.

i would like to thank everyone for helping me wake up.

i was baptized at 24, married at 25, ms for 18 years mentally in for 24 years but started to wake up 3 years ago doing research to give public talks, and the actions of arrogant and narcissistic brothers and sisters did not help.

I think your letter will do just fine. You should be alright now and continue in your fade. When they "shepherd" you, you can just simply say the same things as your letter without going into detail. That will do it.

WATCHTOWER LIBRARY 2015

by adamluis in

we have ours.

i have attached pic.

waiting for my copy.

LevelThePlayingField

Do you ever wonder if the society changes the older issues of the WT to say what they want it to say on those DVDs? Like the 2012 version might say something different than the 2015 version in the 1975 WT?

I loved it that the news articles are putting Watchtower articles right in their stories now to show how crazy the WT really is. That's awesome.

JT & Lady Cee Why we left the Jehovah's Witnesses - Part 2

by JT-LadyC in

jt further expounds on why we left the watchtower.

why we left the jehovah's witnesses part 2.

LevelThePlayingField

Awesome video. Good job JT. This just gives further evidence that the Watchtower and all their GB do not have God's backing.

Don't fall through the "cracks"

by mrsObfuscate in

being able to understand and identify the "cracks" (i.e.

unintended consequences) in the many systems we are surrounded by had a profound influence on my ultimate decision to step away from the org.

i mentioned in my first post there were many nuanced details that added up to help me to finally take the steps i needed to exit, and this was a fairly big one.

LevelThePlayingField

mrsObfuscate - tell us how did you find out about the ARC?

Blood Cards on File with the Elders?

by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

i have a question for elders here or recent elders.

were the elders, in the last 10 years, given instruction to keep a copy of every publishers blood card on file at the kh?.

we moved to our current cong 6 years ago, and shortly after we moved in, the boe requested everyone update and give a copy of card to the kh.

LevelThePlayingField

Must be just in your hall. I served as an elder for 8 years in two states. That issue never arose. I also was taken aback when I read your post here.

I personally would not have consented to the elders having a copy of it. What good does that copy do for you when it sits in the Kingdom Hall. The document is active only at the hospital. So you carry it in your car or on you, right? Right. So at the Kingdom Hall file cabinet, it lays like a book on a shelf and can not help that doctor to help you whatsoever.

I think it's only happening in your hall, by your elders, on the one who's stepping way out of line.
