I wonder if this vow of poverty can save them from a class action lawsuit instigated by all those laid off without pay and nowhere to lay their head?

For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah

i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

i do not condone any crime.

Brokeback Watchtower

Wishful thinking: if you are here to criticize anyone please don't. This thread is strictly about love.

You live in a dream world heavily clouded by bias. You can't even see that Jehovah is a pathetic homicidal maniac with a huge ego that makes kissing his ass over everything he does a form of worship. Your love for Jehovah is severely misplaced on such a coldhearted egotistical murder, your love for Jehovah should be examined more closely as it resembles Stockholm syndrome as the Australian Royal Commission clearly pointed out to Governing Body member Geoffrey Jackson that his organization is a organization of captives that can't leave it with dignity and are threatened with shunning if they disagree with anything.

Ex-Jehovah's Witness elder jailed for sex assaults on schoolgirl

by LevelThePlayingField in

this is becoming more common.

this is from the last part of the article: .

"this was about sexual gratification and you are a hypocrite because you became an elder and you investigated a sexual matter even with this in your sexual background.".

Brokeback Watchtower

I think as the news get out about the WT court settlement a snowballing effect will take place gathering momentum and size.

As the Governing Body's approval rating goes down in the congregations due to all the bad press they are getting more and more will come forward to collect their share money in the form of child molestation lawsuits.

How Does Jehovah Feel About All The Dumb Shit The Governing Body Prays To Him About? "Help Us Make Profitable Property Purchases" Amen

by Brokeback Watchtower in

can you imagine if their was a real jehovah and you could ask him about his feelings towards the gb and their prayers for more money, more money all the time, and his blessing on the hard work especially after they bought all this contaminated property and so called wasted the money he sent them to do business with.

dip shit losers i'm sure he's thinking or muttering under his god breath.. what else do you think they talk to jehovah about i'm sure ol'e tight pants tony is always reminding jehovah about how much tight pants always disgust him while at the same time in denial of how much they turn him on.

i bet jehovah would be pretty neurotic after an hour or two listening to that rant.

Brokeback Watchtower

A Governing Body generic private prayer to the Big Guy Jehovah:

I approach you Jehovah in Jesus name, my brother, and your son. Jehovah I hope you like my talks I mention you all the time in not like christendom's talks where you barely get a mention by your personal name and are just called God, that I'm sure annoys you.

Please give me wisdom to fight this new tight pants craze that disgusts you so much and get the brothers and sisters to dress more modestly. I know how much this means to you so fill my tiny humble brain some good words to say to stop this trend going on in your organization Amen.

(Jehovah in his under breath says, "shut the hell up you moron your making me look bad you dope").

Dont Give Them More Power Than They Deserve

a new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.

dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.

we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.

About 15 years ago I was invited to stands before a judicial committee the charge was: speaking against the organization, I asked them to put it in writing they refused, I then proceeded to write a short document stating the nature of the charge and the request to appear before the committee and asked them to sign it they refused, I requested to have my lawyer present which was denied and told I could not bring any recording devices to the said meeting.

I went because I was just starting to learn TTAT but today it is a different story because I would refused to attend under those despicable conditions. I think it far better to make up your own rules in dealing with this authoritarian cult or better yet don't have any rules to follow when dealing with this cult after all, 'all is fair in love and in war'.

Warwick Polution

has there been any discussion about why jehovah would guide his people to a polluted property to build their world headquarters?

Brokeback Watchtower

I'm thinking the Governing Body in their end of the world short sightedness and rush to get out of Dodge and move to the boonies bought the property without a in depth soil testing and that some time after they bought the property and while developing it they found the contamination which was then reported to the Environmental Agency in 2012.

They probably knew the potential for it being polluted property but chose to keep a blind eye to this potential and hoped that no contamination would be found and for this reason they did not do a thorough soil testing.

This seems to be a pattern with them buying property around the world. They are looking for quick fixes and cheap real estate which they can latter sell when the lawsuits start mounting up in one country after another. They are in a rush to get money and make profits$$$$ and so they are acting very carelessly with the Lord's money so to speak.

I expect from this point on carelessness to even increase as they grasp a financial straws to save them from going down for the 3rd time.

Brokeback Watchtower

- Can you expound on the "pollution" issue concerning Warwick, please? I must be outta the loop, cause i havnt heard anything about it. I appreciate you letting us know, thanks.

Someone should call the WT and ask them for a comment about the situation and ask them if they did their due diligence before buying the property or if they just felt wishfully Jehovah would guide them someway and failed to do due diligence trusting in him.

WARWICK - The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is suing International Nickel and several of its affiliates, which it accuses of contaminating land where the religious group is now building its massive 1.6 million-square-foot world headquarters.
The 252-acre property on Kings Drive was previously owned by International Nickel, which operated a research and development site and a foundry there between the mid-1960s and mid-1980s. Watchtower, better known as Jehovah’s Witnesses, purchased the property in 2009.
In the lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York's Southern District, Watchtower says International Nickel operated a wastewater treatment plant at the site to handle effluent, and also owned underground tanks to store fuel and other hazardous material.
Watchtower claims that International Nickel discharged petroleum, including oils containing polychlorinated byphenyls - or PCBs - into the wastewater treatment plant, and into the soil and groundwater, thereby contaminating the environment at the property. PCBs, which are probable human carcinogens, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, were banned in the United States in 1979.
Watchtower is in the process of building offices, apartments to house 1,000 adults, a cafeteria, a vehicle-maintenance building, an infirmary and a parking garage in Warwick. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
Watchtower’s lawsuit says International Nickel failed to clean up the environmental problems it created during decades in Warwick. The suit also names International Nickel’s parent company, Vale Americas Inc., and its affiliates, including Vale Canada Limited, Precision Castparts Corp., and Special Metals Corporation.
Watchtower could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokesman for Vale said the company hadn’t been served yet and therefore had no comment.
It wasn’t clear when Watchtower discovered the contamination. The suit says Watchtower contacted the state Department of Environmental Conservation about the pollution in 2012 and '13, and has been cleaning the property under the direction of the DEC.
Watchtower is seeking unspecified reimbursement for the cost it has incurred in the cleanup and remediation. It is also seeking damages, restitution and attorney fees.

How Comfortable Are The Governing Body At Headquarter After This Massive Lay Off?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

this lay off and all the child molestation lawsuits coming to a head with more lay off in the wings.

i'm sure there is a lot of concern going on among those still there.

i'm sure a lot are finding out for the first time that the governing body are all frauds by doing secure internet searches to find out just how much they been had by these villans , i think the situation could be dangerous (the possibility exist).

Brokeback Watchtower

Their exposure as frauds is all over the place government testimony it's all public records ever where avalible on the internet with lightning speed. It is only a short matter of time before everyone at bethel knows they can't hide except in their rooms but gotta come out some time bet security is tight.

As many find out TATT and the prospect that they will be thrown under the bus at any time by this group of Corporation men called the Governing Body. Many might seek revenge for the deception and the double cross.

I wonder if it will ever reach the point where there is massive booing going on when they address the family at headquarters? I really do think trouble has come to roost right there in the heart of spiritual paradise.
