  Simple Signs That Cause Jehovah's Witnesses To Lose Morale (Faith In The Governing Body Corporation Kings)

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a good way to get the jws doubting corporation leadership, is lower their morale in the governing body.

  pointing out their stupidity, authoritarianism, delusions of grandure, and the depts of their wishful thinking bias done in such a way to overide watchtower inplanted prejudice.. highlighting the phobias they have of apostates, their attitude toward children as nothing more that corporation free labor denying them education and handing them over to pedofiles in the congregation be they elders or microphone handlelers.. signs about doctrinal issues are a waste of time but i can't deny that some may benifit but that's just getting them out of one cult and making them pray for another.

  anyway the bible is too full of shit to argue doctrine, much better to stay away from it and proceed to spend more time get oneself free from that residual mind control you're still clinging to that's based in the bible.. what are your ideas?.

  I think yes even religious charities must get audited:

  http://uscj.org/congservices/forms/NYStateInfo/NewYorkStateNonProfitRevitalizationAct_20140318.pdf

  A number of our kehillot have asked whether the new Act applies to religious corporations, since
  they are exempt from filing annual audits and fund-raising reports with the Attorney General’s
  Charities Bureau. The short answer is, yes; the Act applies to religious corporations. Some
  examples of its application (not intended as an exhaustive list) are:
   “Type B” corporations organized as for religious purposes under the NFPCL are
  now categorized as “charitable” corporations and governed by the NFPCL
  requirements and standards for such organizations.
   RCL 208, governing “consolidation” of Jewish religious corporations is clarified to
  include “mergers.” (In and of itself, this particular change is immaterial as we have
  long regarded “consolidation” as including “mergers.” But its inclusion in the Act,
  as well as provisions regarding churches, makes it clear that the Act applies to
  religious corporations.)
   The procedure for obtaining approval for the sale, mortgage, lease or other
  disposition of real property has been revised to permit transactions upon the
  approval in most circumstances of only the Attorney General, without the necessity
  of Court approva

  ELIMINATION OF LETTER TYPES - CHARITIES VS. NON-CHARITIES
   No longer A, B, C, D
  • B, C, and charitable D – Charitable
  • A - Non-Charitable
  • Filings to correct status not required
   Post July 1, 2014 –
  • Charitable – formed for charitable purposes (charitable, educational,
  religious, scientific, literary, cultural or for the prevention of cruelty to
  children or animals)
  • Non-charitable – formed for any other purpose
   Most changes apply to both charities and non-charities

  Yes even religious charities must submit to an audit, and since the Nonprofit Revitalization Act is for the purpose of making them more transparent and a bad/adverse audit will cause them to loose funding. So I'm thinking yes they will be availible.

  I think the new york state non profit revitalization act 2013 will make available for public records the audit in an effort to make transparency.

  http://newyorkhistoryblog.org/2013/07/01/nonprofit-revitalization-act-signals-major-overhaul/

  The goals of the Nonprofit Revitalization Act include reducing outdated and unnecessary burdens on nonprofits and expediting the application process, improving both transparency and governance in the name of improving public trust in charities,” according to Hannah Hanford, executive director of the Adirondack Health Foundation. “The Board of Trustees of the Adirondack Health Foundation believes strongly that charitable boards take their oversight role seriously because a nonprofit’s integrity is its most important asset. This new law reflects their philosophy and practice while it recognizes modern communication methods to streamline board e-communications to allow business to be accomplished in a timely manner.” - See more at: http://newyorkhistoryblog.org/2013/07/01/nonprofit-revitalization-act-signals-major-overhaul/#sthash.UaS5zhnn.dpuf

  I find this discussion of viewpoints very interesting which would be more productive if we try to focus on issues and not who can claim the higher moral ground, it acts like, i don't know, maybe chatter is the word I'm looking for.

  I appreciate the NetGeo video I think it sheds some light on the subject of value/moral systems and what not related to the subject at hand. And if we want to include evolution in the mix we can also notice how this all became taboo as I'm sure it has existed with the homo sapien from time immemorial.

  Actually I think Richard's honesty helps make a good point about how attitudes change over time and when he looks back he doesn't view it with the same attitude that he would if it happened today.

  I could easily see why some do take offense if not reading more carefully and by withdrawing some of our psychological projections that make us jump to conclusions without data(shortcuts).

  And the more I read his statement the more I see it as true in my case, and I've done a fair amount of retrospective work in this area.

  How to Wear a Pinkie Ring, by Stephen Lett, Governing Body Member

  by Oubliette in

  2. humour

  always the fashionista amongst the governing body members, mr. stephen lett recently showed us how even an older man can display a certain swagger, a certain je nesais quoi that says, "i'm one of the anointed, and you're not!".

  he does this in so many ways, but the one i want to draw our attention to is the way he rocked the theocratic fashion world with his wearing of a very manly pinkie ring in a recent wtbts video.. - -.

  Hey I wonder if he bought himself the ring or his wife bought it for him? Why do you suppose he feels the need to wear that hiddeous thing durring his moment speaking in the spotlight as the head honcho of some bogus religion about giving Jehovah your best worship by skipping a higher education and career and instead be happy will a low paying job, being dumb, and obeying us because Jehovah's the true/nonimaginary god likes it when you do as your told.
