by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.financialwatchngr.com/2016/12/11/gb-jehovahs-witnesses-agrees-churches-mmm-warns-ponzi-schemes/.
the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses, the central organ that controls the international body of the organisation has warned her members against the growing ponzi schemes promising a quick fix, at least with this warning jehavah’s witnesses now have a common ground with other churches as notable clergies in nigeria have equally warned members against the scheme.. the governing body warned not just nigerian adherents, but also all members worldwide.
the letter conveying the message was read out to members at this sunday’s meetings.. some of the key points of the letter are: .

It just goes to show that down deep inside, even for Witnesses, they want the money. $$$ If no one is looking they will go after it, bottom line. Sad.

The con is completed - comments from the US branch's LDC chief
by sir82 inrecently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.
it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.
he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.

Sir82 thank you for bringing this out. Wouldn't it be fantastic if one day we were to find out where all that money has gone and is going?

Here's a morbid thought...
by Rainbow_Troll init probably will never happen but... imagine the gb recieved some new light that told them the great tribulation was imminent.
the world is going to hell and all jws can expect until armageddon is terrible persecution the likes of which no christian has ever experienced in two thousand years.
but jehovah has a solution: put yourself and your family 'to sleep' and after armageddon's over, jehovah will 'wake his people up' at the resurrection.

I think that this could actually happen, but, it would take several decades of focusing on this to make it a reality for the JW. If the GB came right out and said this, that would be it I think for most JW's and no, I don't think hardly any JW would sign up for it, not right now.

I've been finding out more and more that JW's just don't debate nor defend their belieifs anymore, at least not like they used to. If they get cornered like what happened then they just "walk away" from it all. Whatever happened to the witness who stood up for their beliefs? I guess their all dead now.

About 3 years ago I found out about how the society was involved in the UN. That started me to wake up. I was very very angry. Told my wife and family about it and was very surprised that they didn't feel the same way I was feeling. Then I started quickly figuring out that they really don't want to know these things but are happy with the status of their religion and that's that for them. Then I found this forum and jwfacts and with in a year I thought I was totally awake. I was having a real hard time processing it all. I felt all alone. Then the ARC happened and at that point I no longer thought JW's were God's organization. Then about a year later I thought for about 2 weeks maybe, just maybe JW's have the truth and God is allowing these things to happen. But then I kept waking up more and more and found out they even had changed many key verses in the Bible to make their religion work for them, then I knew 100% that this isn't the truth.
And actually I have been pretty happy and content since. It freed me really. Now when my wife and I go to the hall cause she's totally in and doesn't know I'm mentally out, it doesn't even bother me. In fact I look for the BS in each meeting and feel proud to be able to catch it all.
