i've been lurking here for a while now, and i guess you could call me a fader.
i don't have hate in my heart for the organization that i spent most of my life in, but i have had an awakening.
luckily, so has my wife, and that way i don't feel so alone.
so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.
the wtbts has billions in property,factories,warehouses,assembly halls,kingdom halls and branches.
i know that the governing body get free medical care,live rent free in rather small apartments,travel around the world,stay in nice hotels and have no financial problems in their life.
how they live really doesn't bother me!
Magnum,
Sorry about the situation the JW sons of bi***** left you in. But if i may offer some consolation from my own experience in life. Just when you think this is it- you've gotta live your life in near poverty, some avenue opens to rescue you.I hope something comes up soon to get you out of this hopeless fiscal situation that you are in.
As for the rankings of these bandits- I agree with the OP.
Europe set the ball rolling with Catholicism and Protestantism but America has taken it to another level altogether. They've fine tuned this cash-cow to an extent that even the educated and intelligent are suckered in. IMO it's not these thieving lot that need censure but the Bible itself and all jewish teachings past and present. A thorough clinical ripping apart of all jewish and biblical teachings with evidence to reveal the contradictions, lies and deceit contained in them will bring more people to their senses in helping them realize the myth and the madness attached to these stories. By extension it will lead to he demise of Islam too, which is an extension of the insanity begun in and by the OT.
Of course, many have done that already and are continuing the good work but I speak of a major shake-up which will get the whole world's attention and radicalize thinking against all world religions. It is certainly a big job but I continue to hope, someday soon, some genius will put paid to religions!!
as an apocalyptic cult the brahma kumaris have some similarities to the watchtower.. they believe that all humans will die during an imminent and desirable end of the world they called destruction, in order that 900,000 faithful brahma kumari followers will inherit a heaven on earth before 2036.. to outsiders, bks refer to this event as a transformation and adherents are led to believe that a heavenly royal status can be achieved after it by donating money, free labor and unquestioning mental submission to the brahma kumari leadership, who will rule the world as emperors and empresses.
the brahma kumaris leadership has sought to cover up or deny child sex abuses at its headquarters, multiple suicides of followers at centers, financial corruption and abuses, immigration abuses, the persecution of minor or breakaway groups and the breaking up of families.. with echos of russell's divine plan of the ages, time, according to the brahma kumaris, is limited to a single, identically repeating, 5,000 year period called, the cycle in which human beings procreated by the power of mind for the first 2,500 years, and will do again from 2036, and the dinosaur period existed at the time of ancient greece.
likewise, in another 2,500 years into the future, brahma kumaris world spiritual university leaders teach that abraham, buddha, christ and mohammed will all be reborn again in order to start to teach, after having re-learnt their religion under them at this time.. the bkwsu leadership continues to financially benefit from their position by encouraging their adherents to a total mental, physical and financial surrender to their god.
i really think that he is.
not that it's a bad thing...
you have the opportunity to sit and discuss what's on your mind.. what would you tell them??.
my question, do you men have a heart, how do you sleep at nights??.
why do you think jehovah pick you to feed the sheep??.
Now which one is sleeping with whom?
Tony you look a bitch? Who's your butch?
i use to dream about designing a bathroom that was, well.
crazy.. today, i saw this photo and almost fell over.
obviously somebody else had the same dream!.
Wow! No more TP. Just swim to the crapper and swim back. Like an automated carwash!!
All you need is an inspired backstroke!!
you know how the org goes on and on about how the "preaching work" takes place in so many languages by the website?.
they also trumpet the fact that witnesses are in "sooooo many lands and nations"....... so what!.
just because the message is spread far and wide, does not mean the content of the message is correct or of value.. take the example of coca-cola or mcdonalds.... these products are in nearly every nation around the world....but does that mean they are beneficial or healthy?
700 languages in 4hundred odd countries. Whats the growth? around 250000 ayear? Out of which 90 percent are born-ins. So 2500 approx. caught by the bird catchers.In 400 odd countries . That gives them approx 7 per country. The God Mews is gonna take a long long time to meow 7 billion people. Hey tight pants GB you gotta hustle. You got a lot of preaching left to do. You sure suck as bid catchers. Switch to fly swatting!!
That is a hell of a poor ratio - 700 lingos for less than 2500 bimbos?
if getting ready means putting on a suit........ you might be a j.w.. if going out to the field has nothing to do with grass, baseball diamonds, or football ......... you might be a j.w.. please continue my friends.......i know ya got some.....; ).
