  Me! Me! The UNbeliever.

  As a JW, I thought 'blasphemy' was all about g-d. DOH!

  Canada Branch Finances - 2015

  2. scandals

  so, cra has fixed the glitch whereby they had probably posted the annual return of a small congo.. at first glance, there was disappointment that the gb's begging has been paying off.

  so, donations are at an all-time high, up by 10% (line 4500).. more staggering, gifts from other charities exploded to $33.5 million (line 4510).. as a result, total revenue is at a staggering $83.3 million (line 4650).. however, expenses are still high, with supplies increasing by $5 million (line 4891).

  (really explains the push to digital, and discontinued publications.).

  It's kind of interesting that in the last 6 years, their long-term investments have gone from $67,000,000+ to zero.

  Pete, like Simon said, carry on, it's a good question. Forget the troll. So what? Who cares? Let the lurkers learn why we hate the WTBTS. Some of us hate the abusive individuals. I forgive not, those who sanction child molesters, and those who abuse their own children. Period. xx

  This meme I copied from another thread sums it up quite nicely for me ... only make the person young, sick, and did nothing wrong except refuse to attend the Kingdom Hall with the drunks and fornicators (saw with my own eyes) who dare to judge others. Those who drove my 17YO friend to hang himself. Those who knowingly deny their own child is being raped, and treat their child's rapist like a family member. Yes, I hate *some* of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  The Mormons have a great PR machine. Women? Really? That has to be a ploy to look more 'normal' because of the Warren Jeff's scandal. "Oh, we are not like those CRAZY fringe Mormons. We treats our wimmins good!"

  Blech.

  For your information, I happen to specialize in information technology in the real world. You tracking me down is as laughable as it is likable. God damn, this website and its legalities are made of sticks and stones although I've yet to transgress any legal statute. I can easily antagonize your existence on this idiot convention of a discussion board without any malicious intent from a legal standpoint.

  Well, so is the owner of this board, so good luck with that! **flagged**

  What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.

  it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.

  i would spare no expense.

  Will the Borg ever do what the WCG did?

  by tornapart in

  2. beliefs

  whilst not endorsing any of the beliefs or doctrines of this group i found it really interesting that once herbert armstrong died it had a major overhaul of it's beliefs and practices (very similar in a cultish way to jws).

  apologising for it's errors and putting things right.

  it became less judgemental, more encompassing of other christian faiths.

  so i am having a bit of an issue at work and has been bothering me for a while.

  first, you may need to know a bit about the organizational structure that i am dealing with.

  there is our coo (chief op officer).

  This is a tricky situation. You said the company used to be much smaller. You know the COO quite well, and have his/her trust? Why not talk to the COO, first saying that this gaming on company time was the 'last straw' and you felt you now *have* to talk to him. Outline the problems, and leave it with him, and the understanding that you expect nothing - just wanting him to be aware of the sitch. .
