Yes I agree that this blatant money grab promoted by the GB is going to back fire on them as it will not generate more funds and workers as they hope.
It almost seems like they are drowning men reaching for straws.

you moved the cups around the table and thought we would not see the slight of hand you were handing us.
you begged for money but you have failed to show yourself capable of handling the monies already provided .

If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?
by cofty inimagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).
how would you respond to your family?.
personally i think i would be less than cooperative.

I think this may be a real possibility in the future being that they could lose their status to operate as a charity because of their cruel shunning practices?
But I can only hope that something can break that awful cruel practice to avoid one's own children.

The Thrill Is Gone and so is B.B. King- the REAL King
by flipper ini know there's another thread about this specially talented musician's passing- but this guy was a torch carrier from the old bluesmen like muddy waters, howlin wolf, john lee hooker, and lightnin' hopkins who made chuck berry millions of $$$$$$ and collaborated with rock n rollers like bono of u2 .
these old bluesmen from the 1940's deserve all the credit for the babv that the blues ended up giving birth to- rock and roll music.
any comments are appreciated and welcome for b.b., music, or the blues in general pour your heart out.

It's about Jew's in a German concentration camp who are debating if God is good or not good. They talk about all the whole sale slaughter in the bible. -

In the congregation that I one time used to go to a baptized 12 year girl was molested by one of their ministerial servants, guess what?,, she was disfellowshipped for being molested and only 12 years old at that. This was in the Sunnyvale CA USA congregation 2001.
BTW they have an elder in that congregation that has a bad habit of touching young girls breast at gatherings of the Witnesses this was related to me by an elder that was a friend at the time about 15 years ago, he(the molester,) is still an elder as far as I know.
I can't imagine the psychological harm this must cause to little children and yet the GB want more children to get baptized so they can be disfellowshipped if needs be.

The Story of Adam and Eve, Sexist, Egotistical and Guilt-Inducing
by sabastious input yourself in the mind of an ignorant early human.
he can speak, he can understand his surroundings and can even chart the stars in the night sky.. .
one other thing this man can understand is injustice: when bad things happen to people who didnt do anything to deserve them.. .

"The organisation is imperfect, but it doesn't affect my relationship with Jehovah"
by Alive! ini've noted active, devoted jw's state the above.. and, it's not a problem for me to remain trusting of god, i just don't trust religions or men.. recently, a member of this forum stated that he remains an active jw, in the family of god's people, wanting to encourage and do good - whilst recognising that the pastoral leaders (the gb) have shipwrecked the faith of many, being unsound scripturally etc, etc.. stop and think about this - the bible says to not follow after those who lie and hurt the faith of "little ones".. the pharisees were accused of traversing over lands and expending much energy to make a single convert - only for that convert to end up worse of than he started off with.. it's one thing to not believe this is the 'truth' and feeling the awful pressure of managing ones life, trying not to lose ones family.. it's quite another thing to declare oneself to be a christian believer of god's jw household, and somehow believe the god of love would use corrupt liars to parade as jesus' brothers in the urgency of last days.
really?
and, to then visibly promote faith in corrupt men, and try to bring converts into a place where the rulership is wrong.. some of us are dying from hurt here.......give me a break..

All I can say is you are doing a lot of rationalizing to stay part of a delusional corporation run by a delusional faithful and bumbling slave. -

July Kingdom Ministry
by CloseTheDoor inthe july 2015 kingdom ministry says jws can't do international outreach through the internet, but to instead, point someone in the direction of jw.org site.. it's just another form of control.
the individual publisher is forced to send the interested one to a website fully controlled by the borg.. .

They/GB still view the internet as the devils eye ball, and so all the caution about witnessing to "strangers" who just might be the enemy.
