Jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth. WTBT$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to Christ's direction.

2 Timothy 3:2 "For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money..."

Proverbs 28:25 "The greedy person stirs up dissension..."

Luke 16:14 "Now the Pharisees, who were money lovers..."

"Jehovah's Witnesses demand 35 million in state subsidies"

"Last year, Jehovah's Witnesses were deprived of state subsidies for 2021 and their registration as a religious community. They demand NOK 35 million in support for the last two years."

"It was last year that it became known that Jehovah's Witnesses lost both state subsidies for 2021 and registration as a religious community. However, Jehovah's Witnesses disagree with the decision.

- We are convinced that Jehovah's Witnesses meet all the legal requirements to receive state subsidies, and that is the reason why we have applied for state subsidies also for 2022 and 2023, writes Fabian Fond, spokesperson for Jehovah's Witnesses' information department in Scandinavia, in an email to Our Country.

In total, they believe they are entitled to around NOK 35 million for 2022 and 2023, Fond informs.

Their reasoning is that Jehovah's Witnesses were registered as a religious community at the time they applied for support. According to the Religious Communities Act, only registered religious communities can request state subsidies.

The religious community has also chosen to take legal action against the state. The trial will take place in Oslo District Court in January next year." (translated by Google)

The loss of registration in Norway didn’t really shock us…

…but I think the Org leadership was completely taken by surprise.

All the available anecdotal evidence we have suggests that the guys at the top truly believe that the WTS is “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”…

…and, by implication, invincible and destined to prevail.

These days, however, the losses seem to be outweighing the victories, which flies in the face of that.

Being weaned off the government teat, having to pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar, or being held to account for their (and their predecessors’) mistakes can’t really be plausibly spun as “persecution”…

…and according to their own decades-old End-Times interpretation (which they can’t really abandon, ‘cause Fred Franz never left a protege and the talented creatives are all but gone), “Babylon the Great” is supposed to be attacked by “Satan’s World” first.

Not the Watchtower.

Point in fact; the recent change-up to their eschatology still, nevertheless, reiterates this.

They’re obviously not able to reconcile it, though, because overall, they keep making the same kind of ideology-driven strategic blunders…

…like a gambling addict keeps doubling down even harder in a losing streak, ‘cause he figures he’s still due a win.

Bible says to be no part of the World but "God's " organization wants money from the world...how does that work? Hypocrites!

Hypocrites!

As J.T. and Lady Cee (Youtube) like to accurately say, "Nobody does hypocrisy like Jehovah's Witnesses."

Beth Sarim

""Bible says to be no part of the World but "God's " organization wants money from the world...how does that work? Hypocrites!""

This is what you get from an organization which claims to speak for God, then they get caught having it both ways,

The get caught lying all the time, like in their magazines & literature.

Then they get caught doing these kinds of things.

They get caught & tripping over themselves.

We need the World to close down the JW organisation. It's false practices and teachings.
