christendom takes the lead in changes regarding paedophile & financial openness!!.
the pope has ordered the vatican's finances to be audited by an external company.

There's a lot of discussion going on in our area about financial transparency within the wtbts even among 'long time' dubs. People want to know WHY the "expenses" of a one day assembly have tripled in the past 7 years!
I just tell them that "the love of money is the root of all evil" and leave it at that.

is this the now correct understanding?
does the borg now take over even the local kingdom halls?!
what the hell?!
Recently a young brother and sister, who attended the "school for kingdom evangelizers", were reassigned by the branch from 'preaching' to doing the LDC thing! Local Design and Construction. They have been traveling throughout California conducting 2 day seminars at various KH's to help train brothers how to better maintain KH's. According to them, the main thrust of the training is to help the locals understand how better maintenance will extend the life of a KH. For instance, according to the information that they shared with us over a nice dinner, by extending the life (or even the need to remodel) a KH for just one year will save the organization about $80 million a year.
So the maintenance of KH's is now being taken over by the branch and will not the sole responsibility of the local congregation. Less time in preaching and more time maintaining the physical assets of the borg! Big brother is coming to help!

i dressed up in a hoodie, double layer so that the cameras at the kingdom hall couldn't recognize me.
i looked in the mirror up and down so i knew that the cameras, at least at the angle that i knew couldn't see my face.
i took this disassociation letter, stuck it in the envelope, labeled it, "(congregation's name...boe" by hand and sealed it.
I absolutely love the idea of being able to get up in front of the congregation (talk or other meeting part) and publicly denouncing the borg and disassociating oneself. I see this happening soon as more and more start seeing thru the bs. Like LTPF, my wife is still in so I won't do it due to the harm it would cause her. But, god I'd love to go up there and announce that after 60+ years as a dub---I'm done! As well known as I am in these parts, people would shite themselves!

so i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.
how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?
did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?
With G.O. D. (guardians of the doctrine) all things are possible!

green bay, wiin a turn of events that has stunned the worldwide medical community, local infant nathan jameson, born just six days ago, has become the youngest person ever to permanently and irrevocably know jehovah's witnesses are a harmful cult..this shatters all previous records, university of chicago psychologist douglas mcallister said monday.
in all of documented medical history, there is no case of a newborn taking less than four months to develop the mental faculties required to grasp the full extent of this nightmare called jehovahs witnesses.considering he already comprehends harsh realities that most jehovahs witnesses spend their entire fleeting, shallow existences attempting to deny, baby nathan is quite the little miracle!
he added.though he has not yet developed the capacity for speech, extensive cognitive testing has definitively shown that the shockingly perceptive 6-day-old fully understands and accepts that jehovahs witnesses cannot be trusted, that they remain far too ignorant for their opinions to be reliable, that a lack of self-awareness about their own destructive cult pervades them as a whole, and that most are too ineffectual to successfully pursue facts evidence and reason.sources said the early-blooming newborn was putting two and two together about the real nature of the jehovahs witnesses cult even before leaving the hospital, where his first sensory experiences included the shouts of sick people arguing to get treatment they urgently needed, visitors staring vacantly at smartphones as they scanned jw.org for fear inspired motivation.local reports confirmed the babys disillusionment was only compounded by the fact that he spent his first days in the bleak and soulless company of jehovahs witness relatives , their empty cult non-culture allowing him to realize in record time that all jw pursuits are cold, joyless, and devoid of any substantive purpose or integrity.for a baby, he sure is an insightful little guy, nathans mother, melanie jameson, told reporters.
Dumb!

the org's writing committee think that if they repeat a lie often enough, the sheep will believe it!
seems to be true for most j.w.
's, sadly.. for lurkers who think everyone here is a "lying apostate", read revelation 20:1-12, then read the latest org quote, and compare it with the link.

i thought that the 1975 thing started in the mid to late 60's, but it seems the seeds were sown two decades earlier.is this the earliest reference to it?.
18 how many today are awake to the fact that the lord christ jesus, by his resurrection of the faithful bride members that slept in death, is taking his "bride" unto his father's house and the marriage of the lamb has begun' .... they do not say, 'it is a long time yet to the wind-up, and, according to the present understanding of bible chronology, six thousand years of human history will end first in the coming seventies and till then it is a long stretch to serve the lord continuously and undividedly.'.
... they keep their eye and heart on jehovah's kingdom, and not on the time clock.
The wtbts has made sooooo many predictions, offered soooo many dates, and soooo many formulas to arrive at such dates, that sooner or later one of them might just fit the circumstances. "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while."
But great find never the less!

where are all these kingdom halls that were going to start being built?
the rbc arrangement was officially announced as an arrangement that was ending in the united states branch territory in a letter on january 24, 2014 (although this letter is no longer listed on jw.org).
this means that 23 months have passed since the announcement of the ldc taking over and "acceleration" of kingdom hall builds.. what has happened in the meantime with kh construction?
I worked on many KH projects over a 30 year period. Many were just social events to enjoy drinking and eating, others were full on, no fun work camps. Saw many "untheocratic" activities after hours among the 'big shots'. Saw a lot of bickering also.
Here are a few reasons (questions) that I see for the slow down in KH building.
1) The GB now sees that time is better spent in preaching than in building?
2) Just not enough money in building and selling KH's?
3) The RBC 'big shots' spent so much time away from home that their families fell apart?
If you answered NO to the above questions, you are correct.
