The money question...

by Tornintwo in

jw
friends

i am intrigued to know if there is truly any evidence of financial irregularities in the jehovah's witness organisation or if any one or group are raking off funds or benefitting financially...?.

whilst i disagree wholeheartedly with most of their teachings and practices, dogmatism, legalism and superiority complex, i don't honestly think there's anyone making millions at the top.

yes you could say that the gb are comfortably off, don't have to pay bills etc but they do actually get up in the morning and 'work', they aren't going off in private jets to tropical islands or driving bentleys.

Hopefully more jw's will begin to question where the money is going. I definitely try to help this subject gain traction every chance I get. For example, after each 'assembly day' I ask various brothers why a one day assembly now costs nearly 4 times as much as in previous years. I've talked to several of my friendly elder buddies about the new 'business model' of eternal payments (everlasting leases) on the KH properties Many seem to be unaware of the 'drastic' increased cost. If we can somehow keep this "money" subject active, I think that it could eventually force the borg at least take notice. Inquiring minds want to know. When you start screwing with a man's money, they start taking notice!

by Sabin in

here is something that i don't get, the wtbts bangs on bout the value of life & how we shouldn't take chances with it cause it would be disrespectful to jah.

g. yeah, like parachuting/sky diving/speeding & all that.

however, they say naf all about surfing do they.

"But no, nothing. You know why? cause they would lose half the bro's in Australia. I bet if you asked them they would say "Well it's a conscience matter".

The same is true if the borg started telling jw's not to go to Disneyland------------------------The Magic Kingdom. All kinds of 'warnings' about the 'danger' of the occult, wizards,magic, supernatural, and smurfs, but not a damn word about The Magic Kingdom!

"But no, nothing. You know why? cause they would lose half the bro's in The USA I bet if you asked them they would say "Well it's a conscience matter".

The Ages Of The Biblical Patriarchs

by JW_Rogue in

so i've been reading the imitate their faith book (because my wife wants to) and keep coming upon these ridiculous ages for the bible patriarchs.

now i know wt takes everything literally but there has got to be some explanation that makes more sense.

why would the bible writers create these obviously false ages?

eyeuse2badub

It's called Hebrew mythology. Almost as interesting as Egyptian and Greek mythology.

kid's, the things they say

by Sabin in

we had this plan of action with our kid's, if they asked us a question that we deemed they were to young to know about we would divert their attention, oh, could you fetch mummy her cardi, i'm feeling abit cold, there's some sweets in my pocket, would you like one etc, you get the idea.

usually this would be enough & they would forget about what they had asked.

when they wern't diverted & asked again we would provide an honest explanation suitable for their age.

eyeuse2badub

One day, many, many years ago as I was watching a football game, my wife comes in and says; “It’s time for The Talk.” She then explained to me that our 7 year old son had just come in from playing outside with some of the ‘worldly’ neighbor kids and asked her the inevitable questions; “where did I come from-how did I get here?” Wow! Ok! So I sat down (at half time) with our 7 year old and I said “Let’s have The Talk!” For the next 25-30 minutes I then proceeded to give our son The Talk. ‘Masterfully’ , I explained all about the penis, the vagina, the sperm, the ovum, etc., etc., and the proper use of such. I even drew little illustrations to help me explain this delicate subject. I did good and amazingly, he actually paid very close attention. When we finished The Talk, I asked if that helped him to understand ‘where he came from and how he got here’. He said yes and thanked me for The Talk. Of course being a little curious and a little concerned about him playing with ‘worldly’ neighbor kids, I casually asked him, “any reason why you wanted to know about this stuff right now”?

His reply; “Yea, the new kids, Jimmy and Billy, said they came from Chicago and they got here by bus!”

Is the JW Broadcasting having good results for the Org?

by thewalker in

jw
friends

when speaking with brothers, i can see they really like the jw.org site more than magazines and books.

i can imagine them publishing more and more articles and news as it's more dynamic and creates a sense of alert with brothers looking for new articles to read instead of the boring monthly magazines.. but when it comes to the jw broadcasting, it's something different.

even elders admit they aren't watching the monthly broadcastings.

eyeuse2badub

I agree with several of the posters about how absolutely dumbass these broadcasts make the gb members appear! Even my uber wife sometimes makes disparaging remarks about these presentations.

One thing that non American audiences need to understand is that the wtbts is an American religion. They rest of you are step children in their view.

By Their Own Words

by OneFingerSalute in

the internet is a great tool as we all know.

i found this quote from the early book millions now living will never die to be very interesting as it seems to be the exact opposite of what jdubya's practice.

just another example of the double-speak they engage in.

eyeuse2badub

Error always seeks the dark, while truth is always enhanced by the light. Error never desires to be investigated.

If you believe all the teachings of the wtbts, then you will not investigate.

However, if you doubt any of the teachings of the wtbts, the wtbts will investigate you!

Personal thoughts and evaluations upon the Jehovah's Witnesses Organization

by Finkelstein in

from my own personal feelings about the jws when i was involved and i was brought up in the is religious practice from birth, was one of feeling of being lied to, exploited and manipulated to a certain extent.

reflectively though i could see some wholesome social behavior direction being propagated not surprising nevertheless since this faith is based from christianity at its core.. where and how the wts/jws got bit corrupted i believe is that this organization has always had a publishing house and its core operation and supporting finances were mostly from that endeavoring operation.

this also included creating doctrines which were to support and enhance the proliferation of those published works.

eyeuse2badub

Much of the controlling mechanism within this organization is about designing people into being their own public sales representatives to the Watchtower Corporation.

Exactly! Service meetings were nothing more than sales meetings. Practicing our canned 'presentations' was practicing our 'sales pitch'.

Selling the religion without selling the publications ain't working any more.

The creating of 'odd' doctrines was a good strategy for selling more publications.

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).

eyeuse2badub

For over 30 years I owned a manufacturing business. At times I had over 200 employees. It was always devastating to me, as the owner, to have to lay off employees. These employees had children and mortgages and cars to pay for. However, when the market turned down, it was a necessity in order to remain viable. So, since the printing business is down for the wtbts, they are doing the necessary thing. But I know that the gb must be devastated----right? At least the ones getting 'laid off' from bethel and special pioneering don't have children or mortgages or car payments. In fact, they don't have shit because they always 'believed' jehober would take care of them!

The fraud that is the WT member numbers

by Crazyguy in

ok i'm just thinking out load here so to speak.

but let say in the year 2000 the wt says they have 1 million publishers and at the end of the year they say they had 300,000 people get baptized so in the beginning of the year 2001 they show 1,300,000 publishers.

then in this new year they state another 300,000 get baptized but with 50,000 deaths and 50,000 disfellowshippings they stated at the end of year 2001 a total of 1,500,000 total members.

eyeuse2badub

Reasonable, logical humans use mathematics to calculate things that have to do with real numbers. The wtbts uses, and has always used, "mathmagic". With "mathmagic", all things are possible!
