  To all Australian Elders,C.O's ect...Be warned!!!

  after the conviction of arch bishop phillip wilson for concealing sex abuse in the church and cardinal pell"s trial getting underway.. this leaves it wide open for the victims to seek redress.. if you are taken to court expect the wts to through you under a bus and wipe their hands of any blame.. if you think putting your assets in a trust or transfering them into your wife,childrens name...to late any lawyer will argue you only did that to stop any victim seeking redress.. i think the victims will all ready be contemplating their course of action and don't be surprised if court action is not far away.. karter..

  There will be a cry over the next few years for "brothers to reach out", but that cry will only be answered in silence.

  My wife was diagnosed with MS about two years ago. We have been living in Ohio for the last 5 years but were recently assigned to a new congregation because of the dissolving and sale of our congregation/KH. My wife's symptoms spiked after being relocated to our new hall back in January.

  I've had enough and realized that her symptoms are a direct relation to the move and she cries every night about it. We are moving back to Chicago and I don't even care if this means that I will be found out who I am - giving away too many details.

  I have to do what's right for my family. I found a new job in another IT company with AT&T and really can't wait for this to be over. Peace out Watchtower!

  The Hidden Experience that can keep you in the dark.

  by days of future passed in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hidden in your past, could be an experience or an example, that you may have never questioned or even realized that you should.. this experience could have very little impact on your life now, but it could also be something that is detrimental in the here and now.. for example, when i was young, my father would take us on camping trips.

  we often went over a bridge that had a train trestle next to it.

  all you could see of that trestle, was the top that had about 8 humps that spanned the river.

  This line of reasoning is very good as it could be used to slowly get someone who is PIMI to wake up a bit.

  Canadian Donations

  i stumbled upon this charitable status page for canada and thought that i would look for the watchtower society of canada.

  as they say the report is incomplete because it lacks the normal auditors process details.

  but donations received $64.4 canadian dollars!

  I read the report. Even though they received $64 million in donations, they were in the red by $23 million and they have $21 million in bank loans!

  Administrative costs as % of revenues was only 2.7%. So where's the money being spent?

  I'm starting to think that Watchtower is really up to something. You keep hearing about the money grabs. It's getting obvious.

  And it's very interesting that Watchtower attended the 2012 Growth Market Summit.

  Under the letter, "W" on page 27 it lists them. All the big big companies attended this. Why a religion?

  Follow the Money.

  Yearly Donations down? 2.4 billion for the 2015/16 financial year

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so people keep saying watchtowsr is in a financial mess.

  i think we can all accept that numbers are stagnating at best and going down year on year in the north / western countries and japan.. however the recent finance dept leeks confirmed that following the may 2015 broadcast requesting more donations, an extra 30 million was sent in for the months of july/august.

  stephen lett stated that this figure equated to a 30% increase.. lloyd evans has used this figure to work out how much is donated on a yearly basis worldwide.

  True, spending money is always easier than getting it. The GB has thought that the money flow would never stop. Oops.

  There is a little voice that's in the head of every witness. That voice is the bull-shit meter. When the overseer says that "the cost in connection with this assembly is..." then deep down inside they say "why is the cost so high?".

  That is a little chink in their "organization" armor. Then they just veer off and look at this site and pow! Boom!

  TTATT!

  Dutch House of Representatives formally requests the government to start an investigation re. JW child abuse

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  today the dutch house of representatives unanimously voted to petition the government to start an investigation into jw child abuse issues.. the request from the house of reps. came after jw nl refused to listen to repeated and serious requests from the government to start an independent investigation themselves.. now it's up to the government to either accept the request by the house of reps. and start an investigation, or refuse to do so and explain to the house why.

  it appears the minister of justice is not unwilling to start an investigation though.... collection of dutch news items here.

  Pioneers, Prayers and Pills

  by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  looking back on my two decades as a jehovah’s witness, i’ve come to realize how the constant theme of endurance is playing a detrimental role on the individual's psyche.. jehovah’s witnesses have become far too good at keeping going.

  they’re experts at surrendering to the demands of the watchtower, living up to what’s expected of them, and getting on with the priorities that those in power have defined and imposed upon them.

  they keep showing up, presenting themselves a dutiful pioneer or ministerial servant.
