  Trolley Witnessing Saves Money?

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just wondering, do you think the trolley cart stationary witnessing is to slow down the literature distribution at not-at-homes?.

  it basically traps several shifts of pioneers to a cart or table and keeps the placement count way down compared to leaving something at every door in a neighborhood.. is money the main motivation here?

  (besides staged facebook pics lol).

  Is there a Child Molester on the Governing Body?

  great report by abc on the abuses in jw-dot-org land.... i hope it opens a "floodgate" of future news reports and exposes.

  if you ask yourself, "why hasn't the watchtower leadership changed their policy on the 2 witness rule?

  if one or more persons on the gb has victims out there that can't come forward because of the 2 witness rule, then that would explain the permanent road block to policy change that is obviously in place.

  JW Blood Doctrine Constitutes Idolatry

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you sacrifice your life for something - that is devotion to the highest degree and can in certain context constitute worship.. .

  as has been discussed many times on this forum, the blood doctrine of being willing to sacrifice life to honor a symbol of life (blood) is ludicrous (see this excellent thread by cofty http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/273265/my-explanation-why-they-got-wrong-about-blood-using-only-nwt?page=1).

  it is also idolatry.... .

  JW's Don't Really Believe Satan is Real ...

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you walked up to any jw and said "i just spoke to satan" they would think you lost your mind.

  while that reaction makes perfect sense in the real world, in wt land it doesn't add up.

  here's why i say this -jw's are supposed to believe the following:.

  Imagine a Company Sells You a Product...

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine a company sells you a product... you like the product and begin to do more business with them.. then one day this company demands that you never visit any of their competitors for the rest of your life.

  they also add that you are never allowed to read a negative customer review about their company or products for the rest of your life.. actually this company threatens you with a humiliating future death if you engage in either of these activities..... how does that sound to you?

  sound reasonable?

  "Between the Lines" of the Branch Visit

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am starting this thread to discuss the financial points i picked up during the branch visit.. firstly - as an elder we were told that all donations from the event - local and worldwide work were to be sent to the branch.

  first of all - could the money-grab be any more obvious given these instructions?

  is it even legal to take funds a person gave to a non-profit for one specific purpose (pay the light bill) to allocate them for another (www slush fund)?
