I used to read Peanuts. I hated that Lucy! I had a few of them in my child hood-teachers pets too.

So with the end 'so-close' why are they trawling all this capital in buildings and cash?.

What the hell are they going to spend it on.?

If some other big countries sell up their US Bonds as they well may do the US $ wont be worth peanuts. Then what?. They will have the majority of their followers, unhoused, unemployed and in a terrible situation. So are they grabbing it all now because it wont be there soon? To what end? There is an old expression about death and money; "You cant take it with you." and dying the wts in its present incarnation most certainly is. There is no additional Jesus to come and die for them and their old way and give them a new way. They have rejected the coming of the Christ as the gb/wts has taken his position.

The wts is frequently quoting the old testament (when they are not knocking King David or quoting Paul) and like the Pharisees they live in splendour and have their own made traditions that they impose on others and like the princes of that era who were eventually hammered by Rome they too will face there own day of destruction.

What did Jesus say; "No man knows the hour nor the day".. and feed the orphans, house the widows and the poor etc He didnt say take pledges from the ill-educated the underemployed the low paid and build yourselves mansions.

New "theocratic history" book for witnesses?
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so i have heard a few of us talking about a newly released book to replace or add to the proclaimers book?.

is that correct?.

if so, i wonder how much they have re-written history to cover the real truths?.
zebagain

In a word.. NO. They can never admit when they have been WRONG.when time proves them wrong they cover it over with some shuffle speech. (Take the 1975 fiasco of people selling up and being applauded for it)

What pushed them all the years to make all the predictions? Only their own ego and a desire to 'look into things' but coming from their occult background pyramidology, wings of Horus on a publication and a few kh etc, isnt surprising.

and they have never been able to see that all the worlds peoples are not urban living Americans. One size does not fit all.

How to find joy in the ministry, according to one elder
by ohnightdivine in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
he said that having a goal is the most important, since we do not want to waste our time and become depressed when going out in the ministry.. and what else could be better than setting a goal to, say, distribute xx number of magazines during that day?!.

in this way we could feel contented and joyful in service.. .

how profound!
zebagain

So you 'place' magazines with anyone even if you just know they will bin them just for the sake of numbers.

clericalismcareerismabuse of powera culture of secrecya culture that is determined to avoid scandalas being some of the roots of ongoing child sex abuse in religion (and the cover ups).

Why the Clean out of top Management
by Poztate in
1. jw
2. friends
it has been commented here that "soon" the do's will be history.

the co level will be "retired" at age 70 and the latest development was that the cobe can not serve after age 80. it would seem that there is a "cull" of top management.

in secular companys that would signal a radical change of directions ???.
zebagain

does this get rid of the GB?

I feel the entire wts is beyond any redemption.

Shut it down sell it up and disperse the funds less taxes to the victims of abuse.
