Oh yeah and one more thing.
I will NEVER give the WT or even my local congregation another red cent until the WT makes their general financial statement available to the R&F.
Religion is a snare and a racket!!!

Are you surprised?
Imagine you are one of the GB that doesn't have any retirement outside of the WT.
You pioneered and were an Elder for many years,
then a Circuit Overseer for many years,
then a District Overseer for many years,
then a GB for a couple years.
Outside the WT, you have no financial security. If the WT was broke, where would you go? What would you do? The GB members
have already lost their penthouse suites in Brooklyn. What will they do when the WT or individual congregations are not able to fly
them around the world to speaking events where they are treated like celebrities?
If I were them, I would be fearful. But I'm not because I wouldn't give myself celebrity status if I were them.
hello all,.
i remember, whether from a talk or from a wt, sacrifices made in time, money, or energy from jws compared directly to the animal sacrifices made by the israelites.
can anyone find some good quotes that show this?.

hi everyone,.
im trying to find articles from the wt and awake that show when the writers are discouraging charity work or giving.

Really? I thought its always been seen as futile to give anything to a nonjw charity.

Look and sound familiar?
Yep, the Harlot has infiltrated the corporation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Wait until Jehovah "cleans house"!
The celebrity profile the GB has created for themselves smacks of Babylong the Great's filth.
To all active JWs that know something is definitely wrong: READ YOUR BIBLE EVERYDAY, PRAY TO GOD TO CLEAN HIS ORGANIZATION, AND SEEK HIS GRACE (UNDESERVED KINDNESS). Don't be stumbled by these "celebrities"!

We follow the prophet because the prophet follows God. Listening to what the prophets teach will bring us peace and guide us to Heaven.
Have you ever heard one person tell one side of a story, then heard another person tell the opposite side, and both versions sound true? With so many people and opinions competing for our attention, how do we decide what to believe? To help us know His will—to help us figure out what is true—God calls prophets and apostles to act as His spokesmen. A prophet is a faithful, righteous man chosen by God to speak for Him here on earth. Apostles are prophets chosen by God to be special witnesses of Jesus Christ and His divinity. In order to speak for God, prophets and apostles must have the priesthood, or divine authority, required for such a holy responsibility.
God has called prophets throughout history. In the Bible we read about prophets like Adam, Abraham, Moses, Paul and many others. We believe that God has also called prophets to lead us today. Joseph Smith was the first prophet called in the current dispensation, or generation, of the Church, and there has been a prophet on the earth ever since. The man called to speak for God and lead His church today is named Thomas S. Monson.
By asking us to follow the prophets, God is really asking us to stay close to Him, just like when he asks us to pray often and read the scriptures. Listening to the prophets helps us learn or re-learn what we need to do to accept Jesus Christ's Atonement and become worthy of all the blessings God wants to give us. God promises that those who follow the prophets "are heirs of the kingdom of God" (Mosiah 15:11).
Mormons are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and are committed to honor and follow God’s will, which comes through His Prophet and Apostles. This means we prayerfully listen to their words, support them, and pray for their well-being. Women, as well as men, serve missions, hold leadership positions, sit in leadership councils, and regularly teach and pray in congregational worship services. Women direct several worldwide organizations within the Church, including the Relief Society, the largest women’s organization in the world; the Young Women organization, serving young women 12 to 18 years of age; and the Primary organization, teaching children from 18 months to age 12. Opportunities for service are almost endless and, working together, the women and men of the Church strive to answer the call of the Savior, who asked His disciples to feed His sheep (John 21:16-17).
well, in one verse at least!!
ephesians 1:15 - "that is why i also, since i have heard of the faith you have in in the lord jesus and the love that you demonstrate for the holy ones...".
do i hear you all shouting ' so what'?
Hey Searcher,
Where you located (what state)? PM me.
the beroeans first received the word with the greatest readiness of mind, and then they went to carefully examining the scriptures daily as to whether these things were so.
the beroeans made sure of all things.
the bible tells us that these people were more noble-minded than those in thessalonica, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the scriptures daily as to whether these things were so.
I guess my point in posting all those references is the following:
A GB speaker mentioned specifically that Paul did not mean that we should keep testing our "religion", since we know we have the right one already. The GB knows that the age of awakening, skepticism, and questioning is upon them. They are frightened at this and are specifically frightened at losing control.
