WT $$ Question ?
by exwhyzee in
1. watchtower
2. medical
when thinking about the wealth of the organization, i used to wonder how anyone of us would ever really know if someone was actually getting rich, personally profiting or living the highlife using watchtower funds.

i always figured that if there were something like that going on, the u.s. government would surely have found this out and would have gladly exposed it.

then some time ago someone made a post indicating that there are those who are being paid by the watchtower.

Is there a Jehovah's Witness gestalt?
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
there is a german word: gestalt which means that.......... something is more than the sum of its parts.. .

a diamond seems to be an excellent example of this principle, doesn't it?.

carbon (as in: carbon dioxide) is everywhere and it is "cheap".. but, diamonds are prized as very valuable and expensive.. a diamond, however, consists of almost entirely of : carbon.. .

Waiting for the shoe to drop......
by rocky220 in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
there's a dubby living in my building, and every morning while waiting at the bustop he tried witnessing to me to no avail since we have a great difference of opinion on the borg's "truth".

then came the day when he says that if i am not coming back he can't speak to me anymore and that he didn't want to get in trouble.

poor misguided guy, that was 1 month ago.

How did plants survive the Flood?
by dgp in

2. bible
noah is not said to have carried plants in his ark.

supposedly the flood was severe enough to cover "even the tallest mountains", which would mean that mount everest was covered.

and this for forty days.

Is this an anti-JW website?
by keyser soze in
1. jw
2. friends
when i registered here over 4 years ago i thought it would be a good place to interact with like-minded christians who loved jehovah as much as i do.

but after reading some of the posts on here i'm beginning to believe that the sentiment on here is largely anti-witness.

i justed wanted to tell you all what vile and hateful people you are..

Missionaries in Tiawan asked to give salaries back to bethel...one resigned!!
by Witness 007 in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
a friend from australia's first "ministerial training school" was excited to go to asia as a missionary....only to return in disgrace!!!

the government lets them stay if they become "english teachers" and except a part-time job for a salary {which is generous}.

bethel told him that the money he earns on the side while a missionary belongs to them!!

Watchtower $
by outsmartthesystem in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
does anyone else get the sneaking idea that perhaps the borg is worth a lot more $ than even we suspect?

do you think it is possible that over the past 100 + years they have managed to hord tens upon tens upon tens of billions of dollars?

i wonder that because.....they aren't completely retarded.
