  Watchtower Takes in $2 Million Conditional Loan and Won't Return the Loan, Is it True?

  by BucketShopBill in

  i heard several stories of the watchtower taking in loans and donations given by rich witnesses who have fallen on to hard times and asked for the money back and the watchtower won't return the money.

  have you ever heard of the watchtower only paying the money back on "conditional loans" once legal experts get invovled?

  one of the stories that is around is a family donated a large chunk of their nest-egg to the watchtower and the husband got sick and the branch refused to contact him when he asked for his conditional donation back, would the watchtower screw people out of their money?

  Yes. I want specific facts I can throw in their slimed faces when they start cooing about lurve. Not just "Happened to me, too."

  the hardest tests have been lived but we are closer than ever now.

  now recently shes read "the shack" nd watched some movies about god and just cant seem to inderstand why god would allow all of this suffering just to prove to satan that hes "the man" (or woman).

  According to one source, what Scotland pays to the Government in tax is LESS than what they get back.

  the secretary of the congregation said in a talk, what the congregation should have as goal for the new service year: attend field service meetings!.

  he explained in a sad tone, that he visited all of our 3 or 4 service groups.

  and what happened at the field service meetings.

  My goal for the noo service year is to Negative Pious Sneer.

  I shall spend 60 hours a month NOT doing the door to bore misery, placing no comics, and disposing of any I find polluting the environment.

  I shall wear no panties, whilst exuding an air of mystery and easy access...

  It all just proves that there CANNOT be a god. Otherwise he would have given us a longer day than 24 hours so we can keep up with the TV. Does he actually KNOW that these shows don't watch themselves??

  i am having a discussion at work with the jw's.

  should you spank a child to make them understand or do you reason with them.

  they both agree with spanking.

  Terry - how can you say Jesus is a good example here? Punishments he mentions are cutting people in pieces, throwing them into the sea with rocks round their necks, sending them to hell, terrorising them with fancy fire works in the sky, burning them in a furnace....

  Was Charles Russell delusional or just a con artist?

  by keyser soze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen him referred to as both on this forum.. did he sincerely believe that he was an inspired prophet whose end-time predictions and biblical interpretations came from god?

  or was he just a shrewd businessman who saw a market of disillusioned christians who believed that armageddon was imminent that he could exploit?.

  i personally lean toward the latter.. .

  Con man and delusional.

  look at the measurements of the Great Pyramid. The main corridor was the right number of inches to prove 1914. But when that flopped the new edition of the Divine Plan just blithely put in place a new number of inches....

  Note SHE is interviewing her superior penis- toting interviewees and has no head covering.

  I am glad iPad screens do not absorb stomach contents.

  My jw mum threw us out.

  by abbasgreta in

  my brother (non-jw but became a christian 6 months ago) and i nursed my aged jw mother back to a semblance of strength over the last three weeks.. the elders were happy to pass the buck on to me, her da'd daughter and my bro.. he has been living with her for 3 months and has transformed her ill-kept home and garden and literally nursed her like a professional alone.

  before i stepped in to help him care for her.

  he repeatedly told her how much he loved her and was so caring, it brought a lump to my throat.. he has been going to church sunday mornings, telling her he 'was meeting up with friends' so as not to cause friction.but she knew where he had been.. we noticed a shift in her demeanour towards us (she knows i'm a church-goer) over the week-end and she started to.

  I wonder what spin the eldughs will put on this when they try to get the witnesses to look after her: "those mean "Christian" kids want nothing to do with her. It is a sign Satan's System is nearly finished."

  Pulling faces at him behind his back! Evil. At least his church accepts him tattoos and all. I always thought God judged on he heart, not the ink and piercings.

  Very young children cannot be reasoned with like an older child."don't play on the road" means nothing- they only think other children get hurt on the road.

  "play in the road and you'll get a spanking" is more likely to instil caution and keep them alive.

  ressoning with young kids on hand washing is interesting - they all know they should before eating, but most will not if they can get away with it. No amount of reasoning seems to work, so they make themselves and others ill by covering the food they touch in germs.

  reasoning is fine, but the wisdom of ages shows spanking has its place.

  gretteacher - children can be violent little cannibals without spanking too. Some children hit kick and slap their parents who have never been slapped - the consequences they quickly learn are lame. Is putting them in a timeout room any less cruel?

  Each parent needs to make choices based on their child. Blanket rules don't work in every case. Lock a spanking parent away, and protect the child by putting him in a care home? How is the kid affected by the so called protection?

  There are increasing numbers of little ones now being savaged by the dog because dogs are trained with sweetness and light, instead of how they instinctively establish behavior boundaries.

  Id like to see the difference in 20 years between the kids brought up in either camp.

  Remember too that little ones who play in the traffic, because they don't fear the parental reasoning are eliminated by natural selection very quickly. As are those who cannot be convinced that drink drugs and dangerous driving are bad.
