The WT leaders are just TOO arrogant and prideful to ever admit that their ignorant handling of the finances of the organization has caused this deficit requiring cutbacks. WT leaders have NEVER admitted to mistakes - whether it's about their child abuse policies or handling of finances - because they act like they CANNOT be in error due to allegedly being appointed by " God's holy spirit " - thus in their own minds they are not only deceiving themselves , but deceiving over 8 million people to throw caution to the wind by extorting millions of $$$$ for WT leaders own purposes. To keep a 136 year old organization going at all costs. Even though it's not financially prudent. They don't give a shit. It's " let's steer this organization into a financial iceberg and see if it stays afloat " . " Jehovah " didn't protect the Titanic, he sure as hell won't protect WT leaders from making stupid decisions -

it will be interesting to see how they deal with this.

Prince, the Williams sisters, ANY celebrity JW's can pretty much get away with anything they want as long as they keep donating millions $$$ into the WT pedophile fund raising campaign. Oh, excuse me - I mean " kingdom interests " -

WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links
by flipper inso my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.
also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.
anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

Wanted to bump this thread up to keep in mind the WT Society's dishonest abuse of rank & file JW's financially with all the Bethel layoffs going on so lurking JW's can read this information to see that there's more to it than they are told at their meetings. There's ALWAYS been more going on behind the scenes with WT leaders than what they are told at meetings. It's a secret society of which rank & file JW's are not REALLY a part of when you think about it -

Suicide or Real Freedom? - My Story As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses
by dubstepped in"sometimes i think the only thing i could do that wouldn't upset someone would be to kill myself.".
those were the frustrated words of my friend as we stood out in his large yard in the country, just about to enjoy a nice bonfire on a beautiful night.
what was it that could have been a lesser evil than killing himself?

TORNAPART- When I exited the JW's in 2003 I felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted off of my shoulders. 44 years from birth and at age 44 I felt much more at ease.
Your question : " How do you live with the fact that you've allowed yourself to be duped despite the fact you know you have a certain amount of intelligence ? "
Easy answer : You learn to forgive yourself by educating yourself about HOW we all got mind controlled by the WT Society. Being under the influence of cult mind control has nothing to do with how intelligent a person is or is not- it has to do with cults like the WT Society promising things in a manipulative way that they cannot deliver or lying to us and appealing to peoples sense of well being or basic instincts like wanting to live forever, never getting sick, living in a pretty paradise , etc. It wasn't OUR fault we got lied to- it was the WT leaders fault that they controlled us and infringed on the boundaries inside our minds.
" How do you cope with seeing ones we love still controlled by it ? " It's not easy, but once you understand mind control you know what things to talk about and what things to refrain from talking about with such ones. It saddens me that some of my family are still deeply mind controlled by the JW cult- but there's not a damn thing you can do about it until THEY are ready to see TTATT. You can be there for them if and when they wake up- but it has to be in their own time and way. Until then you lie low and wait.
" Do you tell everyone you love what you've learned ? " Probably NOT a good idea if " everybody you love " is still a mind controlled JW. You will be judged as a crazy ass apostate and they won't appreciate the truths you are saying because they look at it as " falsehoods ". It will cause disruption and frustration and you'll be beating your head against a brick wall. But if you have non-JW relatives or friends- by all means go tell them everything you know ! It might protect them from getting sucked into the JW cult themselves .
" What if they put up their barriers and don't want to know ? " Then cease and desist telling them you will be wasting your time.
My story is I am a lot closer to my nieces, nephews and son who have exited the JW cult than I am to my fanatic JW relatives. I can be myself around my ex-JW relatives, but can't be real with aggressive JW relatives. That's my story- so I let it be what it is and hang with the people who accept me for who I am. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck to you in your newfound freedom of mind. Freedom is sweet ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
