  Money Grab started in India

  by cognitivedizzy in

  2. friends

  i don't know how the fellow who made the resolution from stage to send 80% of the congregation funds to the indian branch as an outright donation made it with a straight face.

  and all the sheeples nodded like they understood the shit he were spewing.

  i'm so mad at this cult .

  Sounds like the Indian JWs are sending in all funds to HQ before closing up shop.

  More details will come out. They always do.

  It hurts sometimes, but freedom isn't free, there's always a cost.

  Escaping the watchtower always comes with injury.
  Everyone knows this. It's even in the magazines and experiences.

  
  That fairly recent "Prodigal Son" video was what I saw after my last convention.( We took a chartered bus from to Napa from SF Cow Palace, so we got to watch the video on the ride home. Yippee!! )

  
  I was only occasionally attending the meetings then and that video coupled with an honest evaluation of the way I was being treated by "the friends" was enough for me to find the door for good.

  That's the hardest part about leaving. Finding the door.

  Breaking free is a great move.

  I passed my judicial committee invite letter by e-mail and FB messaging for "admitted apostasy" amongst the most gossipy people in my town prior to my DFing announcement.

  I'm sure the word spread like wildfire, because I only sent the note to neighboring cong members, not my own, which had a local needs talk on apostasy and the warning about e-mails from them. Ooops! Too late

  Everyone in my circuit knows I left on my terms and I'm glad for doing it.

  I have no idea how many lawsuits are "in the pipe", but it has to be more than we can imagine.
  I sent an e-mail to the son-in-law of WT lawyer, Mario Moreno about this a few months back. He didn't reply...

  The call for "free legal" from the congregations a while back must have been a clue.

  It is possible that if they sold everything, there could still be a deficit!

  I wish i had a better answer, except to be patient.

  90% is a pretty good rating.
  There are no guarantees you'll do better.

  Now the possible contaminated soil issues at Warwick and medical issues that may/will be arising from exposure. ( gross negligent exposure to unprotected/uninformed workers)

  2016 will prove to be a thriller.
  Mass awakening/mass exit is what many are anticipating.
  Can you even imagine next years annual report?
  I bet, they'll quit printing the decreases.

  Could this be the root cause of the sell-offs, bethelite lay-offs and moving?

  The secret to where all the money has gone?

  Imagine if bethelite's were legally entitled to minimum wage for all of their volunteer labor. Then all the unreported taxes and insurances...

  Possible?

  Going Clear- Scientology- Movie made this year

  by truthlover in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on tonight -- many of the leaders and co horts of david miscavidge on tonight who have left the organization.. it is scary how close they are to the jw's with the exception of the volcano episode and that we are "thetans",.... they hold out a carrot for each level of progression on the "ladder" - to immortality, telling all they will live forever in a peaceful, beautiful world- and of course, each step on the ladder means thousands of dollars and volunteers make 30 cents a day working on all their projects.

  they fought for tax exemption as a religious organization, started by hubbard, who at level 8- the highest on the ladder - tells his thetans they are out of a spaced out world -- it is terrifying -- and they are supposed to be able to read minds, levitate things, others in the org are scared of them.... but the org are buying properties all over the world as a benefit for their thetahs" to show their good works.to the irs - building a massive real estate empire with publishing and volunteer labour...... watch it if you can.... .

  sound familiar - .

  New Field Service Format?

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems that hype is the only thing keeping jw.org alive and well these days (that and the money of suckers who continue to fall for it).. at meeting on monday, an elder announced "the faithful slave has seen it fit to change the format of our ministry in 2016, and more information will come".

  i guess the desired reaction is to get jws preoccupied with what those changes could possibly be, and if it means that the end is nearer or some crap.. with that said, i've been suckered into wanting to know what these 'changes' will be.

  does anyone know?

  You mean they aren't cancelling the preaching work and moving to the "warning work" because the end is so near?
