  After all these years

  by truthseeker in

  i found out a couple of weeks ago that friends who i haven’t seen for over 20 years left the watchtower two years ago.

  and it’s having a ripple effect on their friends who are in.. i was also going to post on the thread about posters who’ve left but it seems to have been locked!.

  i have been very busy these last few years, working on my hobbies, writing articles and books and haven’t had much time for jw activism.

  I have been very busy these last few years, working on my hobbies, writing articles and books and haven’t had much time for JW activism. However that is going to change next year when I will devote 100% to getting my JW book written - it’s just my time is taken up with projects around the home.

  Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

  in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

  banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

  Are we to assume that for every credit/debit there has to be an equal credit/debit somewhere else to offset the first?

  The Federal Reserve and/or the Treasury print money. At the time of printing, what is the value of a $10 bill? Is it $10? The value of the paper that the note is printed on? Each bill has a serial number on it. What is it backed by?

  Simon, if I ask you to paint my flat for $100 and you agree and paint my flat, you give me a bill (invoice) for a $100. I give you a $100 dollar bill and therefore have discharged a debt. Hence the phrase the bill is legal tender for all debts, private and public.

  Say you go to a dealership and buy a car for $20,000.

  You sit down with the finance manager and they run your details through the computer.

  Wells Fargo pops up. They can loan you the money less downpayment of $1,000 to the dealer.
  

  You agree to the terms, make the downpayment and off you drive home in your new car with your title and registration.

  The dealership sold you a car, the bank created a credit entry of -$19,000. You have to pay that money back to the bank with interest but where did the bank get the $19k from to pay the dealer?
  

  Other than your downpayment, no physical money changed hands.

  If that isn't creating money out of thin air I don't know what is.

  Financial Wizards & Wealthy Cults The Rothschild Bloodline AND Connection to JW's.

  by JakeM2012 in

  2. beliefs

  i was doing research on the political powers in the u.s. and what exactly was the drive, goals, and ambitions between the different parties.

  i stumbled upon information regarding the illuminati/rothchild family having great power throughout the world with different parties and the rothchild's goal to have a new world order from hundreds of years back and how they were involved in satanic worship.

  it was interesting to see that c.t.

  The Youtube video I was going to link to has been taken down but it's an interview with Jordan Maxwell about his association with the JWs in the late 1960s. He was privileged to attend a dinner invite with some of the members of the Governing Body. Among them was the JW Treasurer.

  Jordan asked him, how do you finance your work? Your yearbook says you spent millions of dollars on missionaries yet the people who live in this part of California are poor.

  The JW told him that they have two open accounts, one with Chase and another bank in Pennsylvania. Jordan asks him "What do you mean open accounts?" and he replied that whatever their expenses are, the bank just covers it in full. This is not a loan. It seemed the banks were financing the JW organization.

  There will be no fifth generation of jw’s in my family.

  2. experiences

  i’m happy to say that, yet as always with the wts there is a price to be paid.

  i’ll explain how this is working out.there’s a new development in the family that’s making the final break possible, and sadly is where the penalty for leaving is going to happen.

  only one person of all the jw family history is left that could start a fifth, he’s my nephew.

  JW detained in Putin's Russia ... accused of extremism

  by mikeflood in

  1. social
  2. current

  from bbc news "five jw's from the kirov region detained with about $ 7,500 accused of funding and organizing meetings....they found literature...and two hand granades and a landmine".

  the russians are such idiots planting evidence....and quarrelling with the neutral and sheepish jw land...and of course inflamating their persecution complex.

  If the story is true then I think the bunker videos the WT puts out and it’s persecutiom complex of Gog of Magog attacking them is going to have a psychologically damaging effect on those individuals predisposed towards extremism.

  one of our friends in canada posted the following message to their circle of friends.

  "in our meeting last night, the coordinator read a letter from the canadian branch about the reorganized territories.

  all the territories in the fraser valley from hope to vancouver, about a hundred miles in all, have been reorganized to create larger congregations and improve the use of kingdom halls.
