THIS IS FUCKING BRILLANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These assholes have rid themselves of the tedious task of reviewing 'qualifications' while also removing the appointed by governing body who were led by spirit bullshit!
They are effectively removing ALL responsibility from the so called parent religion. Something goes wrong an elder found to be did-diling lil boys and girls hey who was the CO that appointed them?!?
I said on here like 2 yrs ago that the GB/legal department would like nothing better than to have the problem of publishers just go away while they collect their money NOW HERE WE HAVE THEIR END GAME LAID OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
New donation arrangement goes into effect and they have some 20K congo's paying them a monthly tribute. The whole process of running the congo's and appointing elders overseen by the CO, dump/downsize the DO. What they were known for peddling WT/awake rags now its JW.org. No more printing and shipping just have the sheeple download the BS 'food' to the domistics.
Once This is laid out and running they gonna have a cashcow paying monthly tribute while they lounging by the lake...LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
what if right in the middle of rolling out their latest money-grabbing scheme, there was an uprising demanding financial transparency?.
i thought jehovah was a god of organization and numbers.
isn't that why we report time and have all these annual reports?.
NOTHING
WILL CHANGE DUBS MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wifes sister and mother were over this past sunday and my wife showed them the letter I had printed out. when I got home my SIL was like oh thats nothing they're just eliminating a contribution box?!?
sadly my SIL is not a dumb woman ironically she is an executive assistant to a partner in a major accounting firm here.
I know that there is a lot who would like to see the BORG fall but dub's are just...there is a lot I can say but Ray Franz said it best they are captives to a concept.
the golden rule, matthew 7:12:.
so in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets.. .
a whle back i had a management course.
Trainer Jerry clark has what he calls the rainbow rule:
"do unto others as they would like to be done unto"
He has an audio series of the rainbow rule in action, here is the PDF transcript
i would love to hear a believers point on this!
from an interesting point of view:.
"jehovahs witnesses, and some others, believe that humans did not eat meat until after the flood.
Kinda similar to my thoughts

not looking for another religion as i'm completely atheist at this point, but the uu's do seem to have a community spirit about them and don't seem to be so cultish.
i lived across from one of their churches (before my recent move) and went to one of their services.
it didn't have the rigidity of the dubs, and seemed to be somewhat open minded.
Phae
it's hard getting out of bed on a Sunday morning when you *don't have to*. 25 years of mandatory 3 meetings a week as a JW will do that to you.
THIS!!!
Sundays are for sleep and football!

HMM so I can be a dark Lord of the Sith and a member of UU...COOL!
in the latest watchtower (july 15, 2014, page 14, paragraph 10) it says; today, jehovahs people are not often confronted with apostasy within the congregation.
still, when exposed to unscriptural teachings, regardless of the source, we must decisively reject them.. so, not often, but occasionally jws are exposed to apostasy within the congregation, and they are instructed to decisively reject it.
as we all know, the vast majority of the apostasy they are exposed to comes from the governing body.. i am meeting up soon with an old friend from the 1970s who i havent seen for decades, who is still an active jw, and who would really like to hear what i think about things.
This IMO is the key statement to the paragraph:
Still, when exposed to unscriptural teachings, regardless of the source, we must decisively reject them.
now what about their UNSCRIPTUAL TEACHINGS?!
