  Is All The Bad Publicity About The Watchtower Pedophile Lawsuits Causing Contributions To Nose Dive Worldwide?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i think with all the child molestation lawsuits the watchtower corporation is and has been hit with is the main reason for all the prime property sell off recently.

  the silent lambs protest back in 2001, and the dateline prime time expose probably was the death knell for the watchtower's hey day in brooklyn.. their membership is drying up, young people are leaving in droves, the situation is no doubt far worse than the annually published yearbook figures show and so they ceased it's publication permanently.

  and those left remaining are experiencing a huge grab of money from their congregations accounts and now are required to make pledges about how much they can contribute which i think is a last ditch effort by the governing body to squeeze more money out of the rank and file watchtower indoctrinated drones.. i think all this is happening because even those still loyally attending are hearing reports of these tremendous pay out that the watchtower is making to the victims of their self serving policies that put young ones at great risks so that even the rank and file don't want to contribute to pay court costs and so are withholding giving contributions to a very great extent.

  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most JWs have now looked at some sort of 'apostate' web site by now. Age 30 and under, nearly 100%.

  With everything that is going on with the switch to an internet religion that keeps saying 'don't look'. People are going to do what they are told not to. How can there not be a mass awakening?

  Question is, how many KHs will they sell off before the big jump ship? 25%, 50%.
  What will wake everyone up at once? Who knows, maybe everyone still-in will be happy to meet in small informal groups with no further 'direction' from WT?

  Does anyone remember discussing scenarios where we'd be going over old WT study articles at home? Sadly, there are die-hards that will never believe WT has collapsed, no matter what they see for themselves.

  Maybe there already has been a mass awakening, but most are too scared to say anything, let alone take action. It must have taken me 10 years to finally act on my first doubts. The pain that will be felt when this finally ends is going to be felt deep and wide.

  Wouldn't it be hilarious if WT ultimately had to pay money to EVERYONE they DF'd that is still living in class action lawsuits all over the world for religious abuses.

  Wouldn't that be a burn on all the smug shunners?

  the guardian has a story about a recent discovery regarding the great pyramid of gizeh.

  it begins this way:.

  "archaeologists have uncovered a mysterious enclosure hidden deep inside the great pyramid of giza, the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

  to quote someone near and dear: they should have built the whole kingdom hall out of the same thing they built the signs.... i had to wait nearly two weeks to get into the neighborhood to get these pictures for your voyeuristic interests...this is peanuts compared to the over 5,000 homes that were destroyed (this number includes individual units in large apartment complexes that were completely razed).

  those pictures and videos are available in the media.

  wine country is a community devastated..

  I cry during the National Anthem now

  2. friends

  after being a jw for 25 years and finding every weasel way to 'maintain christian neutrality', i now find myself in a completely 'new light'.. i quit abruptly, four years ago and have lived a jw free life with the exception of my born-in wife.when i see the ceremony of the national anthem, it not only reaffirms the absolute beauty of personal freedom, but it also allows me to see that most people are good and loyal to one another.

  i treasure my life and have become a patriot.

  now i feel ashamed that i was a government/authority rejecting, isolationist that benefited from living in the greatest country in the world.

  Part of my sadness is that we spent all of those years thinking we were involved in the most important work of all.
  

  Turns out, our 'work' was useless and the people we thought were going to be destroyed at armageddon were the actual heroes in our communities...

  I cry for the privilege to live with loyalty to my land and fellow - also for my shame of past mistakes.

  It can be an emotional experience to rejoin society.

  Just Bumped Into My JW Sister And Brother In Town

  2. experiences

  so im walking through town today on my lunchbreak and spot the unmistakable walk of my younger brother.

  this is the one who left watchtower... well it turns out he's returned to the vomit after stupidly turning up to the 2017 convention and a few elders filling his head with seeing our dead dad in paradise and to "wait on jehovah".. a few meters behind him was my sister.

  she spotted me first, then hurried up her step to my brother.

  We're the scariest thing of all to a JW.
  Even scarier than the devil, ( that wily old serpent ).
  Why, you ask?

  We actually exist.

  Peddlers of the 'original lie'.

  "Millions now living will never die"
  "Truth that leads to everlasting life"
  "You can live forever in paradise on earth"

  They lie

  When the scam is finally undeniable, I could see thousands killing themselves in shock.
  It's one thing to wake up over time and feel suicidal. It's another to have to wake up with you face being slapped for days straight at a time.

  Some of the uber dubs will crash and burn, I'm sad to predict... :(
