What are the economics of cart witnessing?

by slimboyfat in

on another thread shepherdless sketched out the past business model of jws and its demise.

until 1990 they were a straightforward publishing business with the tremendous advantage of free labour in production and free distribution agents.

since then they've been relying on donations for literature to keep the old model going.

There can't be much money in "the carts" business. However, the organization could start making automobiles. The new 'Theomobile' would be virtually accident proof and the tires wouldn't wear out for 40 years. The opportunity to own and drive a vehicle designed and engineered by a select group of men, whose names will remain anonymous so as not to deflect glory from the 'real guy' and assembled by 'volunteer' labor will "no doubt" be enthusiastically received by all rank and file witnesses.

If Tesla could start a new car company with just money as his backing, just think what jw's could accomplish with the backing of 'holy spirit'.

240 'Lands'

by Jeffro in

jehovah's witnesses are purportedly 'active' in 240 'lands', quite a remarkable feat for a planet with only about 200 sovereign states (206 if you count all that are recognised by at least one un member, of which jws are present in 166).

more than half of all jws worldwide are in just 10 countries.

over 90% are in 45 countries.. to achieve this mathematical miracle, various places that are not separate countries are counted as 'lands'.. tahiti is counted as a separate 'land' though it is part of the society islands, which is part of french polynesia, which is part of... france.

Are they preaching in Syria? They could really use the "good news" in Syria! And I think that East Los Angeles considered a separate land also. How about Detroit? Those are some dangerous places that need the "good news".

The Lion Awakes

by eric hendrickson in

my name is eric hendrickson.

i have been on a journey led by the holy spirit which has brought to this point that has allowed for me to open the seventh seal and understand god's master plan.

i am the lion from the lost tribe of judah who has come to the world and be the messiah king.

My name is Eric Hendrickson.

Please remember this name. He will probably become part of the 'Governing Body' along with the other delusional guys that think that they are god.

What's the status of this org financially?

by megaboy in

soooo... i think the main strength of this group is having the finances to keep this con game going.

i'm hoping that the pedophilia cases are draining them dry so we can be rid of this stumbling block from an organizational stand point.

how is the constant surge of bad news getting out on them effecting the everyday person in this organization?

eyeuse2badub

Damn the borg is good at releasing and publishing (bragging about) "their" numbers and statistics regarding "their" growth and "their "ability to product so much literature. How about they release and publish "their" financial statements for all to see. I know that nearly every jw alive would be interested in those numbers. I even think that the borg could use that information as a sort of an international fund raiser to create a sort of 'theocratic' competition between countries. Which country will "give" the most? Then when those numbers are published we can all see how much money goes to feeding the hungry, helping the widows and orphans.

Watchtower crackdown on anointed expansion - are they reaching for a solution to the expanding numbers problem?

by slimboyfat in

if this has been discussed i missed it.

i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.

but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.

At the upcoming Regional Convention this summer, the organization is releasing a new publication entitled: "Organized to Be of The Anointed". It will clearly show that the rapidly growing "new group" of "anointed" will soon reach 144,000 and will "overlap" with the "older group" of 144,000 anointed. There will 3 paragraphs that will "prove" that that is "evidently" what Jesus was referring to by "this generation". There will be 144 questions that the 'newly anointed' will be required to go over with the congregation elders in order to see if they "qualify" for the heavenly calling.

WT OCT 2015 - 3 Questions People Would Like to Ask God - how about you?

by ttdtt in

1: where the "f" are you, since there are no signs of your existence?.

2: why did you "create" life forms that by default hate to follow what your rules.. 3:.

from what i read in the bible, why are you such a petulant, vengeful, bi-polar nut who seems to only look for flesh and spirit to kiss you enormous godly ass?.

eyeuse2badub

I fear you but why don't I love you?

The really cool feeling of community within JWs

by Phaedra in

i remember going out with other jws after the memorial.. small gatherings.. picnics at some local landmark.. the feeling of closeness, camaraderie, friendship with like minded people you could trust.. haven't experienced it since i left.. really miss that..

eyeuse2badub

90% of the brothers and sisters are terrific people. They are our friends and they wouldn't shun us if the borg didn't require them to do so. Most are very trustworthy, normal humans that have been misled, like all of us were at one time.

I agree 100% with DOC.

JW mother wants to send her son to a mental institute for being atheist & wanting to go to college

by Khaleesi in

i am not sure if this was posted before.

i am the mother of an 10 year old and i would have never treated my son like this for wanting to go to college, believes in evolution & is an atheist...i am disgusted how this jw mother can't see how her son has the freedom of thought or religion.... this poor kid most likely does not do drugs or is in a street gang, he just wants to go to college for crying out loud.... this is insane, just shows how a religion or organization blinds all logic from you... it's a cult..... i know there are many cult jws parents out there who would do this, its insane and disgusting.... where is the love you say you should have towards your children?

this is straight out abuse.... read the article but scroll down for the recording.... .

That mother is a good JW woman by following the JW dogma of "keep em stupid".

Going Clear- Scientology- Movie made this year

by truthlover in

on tonight -- many of the leaders and co horts of david miscavidge on tonight who have left the organization.. it is scary how close they are to the jw's with the exception of the volcano episode and that we are "thetans",.... they hold out a carrot for each level of progression on the "ladder" - to immortality, telling all they will live forever in a peaceful, beautiful world- and of course, each step on the ladder means thousands of dollars and volunteers make 30 cents a day working on all their projects.

they fought for tax exemption as a religious organization, started by hubbard, who at level 8- the highest on the ladder - tells his thetans they are out of a spaced out world -- it is terrifying -- and they are supposed to be able to read minds, levitate things, others in the org are scared of them.... but the org are buying properties all over the world as a benefit for their thetahs" to show their good works.to the irs - building a massive real estate empire with publishing and volunteer labour...... watch it if you can.... .

sound familiar - .

Haven't seen 'Going Clear' yet but it's on my to-do list. I did go to see "Spotlight" and hardily recommend it!
