  Question: What would it take to get the BORG'S tax exempt status REVOKED?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always wondered about this.

  i've always felt the main reason the borg made publishers do time slips/field service reports was to show that they are doing a community service to justify their tax exempt status.

  we all know about their money grabs with the kh build scams, their selling off millions of dollars in real estate, etc.

  All other churches actually give to the poor though and at least to their own members. WT does NONE of that. It's own members must go to other churches for food, etc.

  What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.

  whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?

  im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

  - Used to go swing dancing back in the day, late 90's when I was a teen and some elder from another hall I didn't even know was calling around informing people I was bad association because I went out 'too much'.

  - When I was a kid, lived in one of the North Eastern states and for the first time, in my life at least, the whole congregation was having a cookout at a park and playing vball, etc. My mom was video taping a lot of it and calling it the "the xxxxxxx congregation picnic", this bitchy old elders wife blurts out, "ITS NOT A CONGREGATION PICNIC!!!! STOP SAYING THAT!!!" :my mom: "It's not?" (She's still recording btw so this is on tape) :crankly elders wife: (clears her throat to calm down) "no, the society said we can't call these congregation picnics so it's just a gathering"

  My theory is everything except where the GB live may be shut down and stopped. THey'll keep taking the KH contributions because the whole point was to get those commitments and funds before telling everybody NO MORE PRINTED MATERIAL. Will make it all online and people print their own stuff. They might even say, "NEW LIGHT: Most of our books and magazines are just regurgitated material, instead of wasting paper we'll direct you what to read from previous material" etc.

  Won't be surprised if almost everything is online, they keep taking KH money, and GB live luxuriously.

  How do we know the WTS monitors this site? Can anyone tell me for sure?

  Not sure. They have monitored my website in the past. See below PDF document for proof:

  Having looked at that, and the email address, shows that lawyer/or lawyer wannabe is from Bethel. I wonder since he must have READ and seen those things, if in time any of them wake up to TTATT. Or he must get paid or many fringe benefits to stay in knowing TTATT.

  Just 10 more days. How are they going to spin the news on Oct 3 annual meeting?

  by John Aquila in

  so they asked all the kingdom halls for all the money in their savings account and then make them give a monthly payment for the rest of their life.

  the reason for this was because the in-gathering is so great, that they need to build, build, build!.

  now the massive building will stop..

  Very soon all Kingdumbhalls will be sold because all the land and building space, etc, is a waste of valuable resources.

  They will be replaced by brand new remodeled out of business fast food restaurants with 'stay awake' chairs that have almost no padding, no armrests, are we not thankful for the faithful slave in helping us to 'stay awake' in this time of the end?

  JW "charity" during wildfire crisis

  by RedPillPopper in

  1. jw

  so i live in the area of the 'valley' wildfire in northern california.

  i just returned home after 3 days evacuated.

  there is a family who run a fitness center and had opened their doors in disaster relief to affected people with beds, food, clothing and shelter.

  So the question is, ARE they allowed to use it for evacuation space? The landlords said it's not allowed. If the city in the situation would allow it then they are in the wrong. The thing to do would be to challenge what the landlords are saying, if able to get any proof the landlords wouldn't be held liable or at risk or face fines and punishment from the city/county/etc then the jw landlords have no excuse for what they are doing.

  I'm not so sure a bigger awakening is going to happen anymore

  when i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.

  i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.

  this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.

  There will be. The JW.org changed has FORCED many jw's to the internet (old timers, etc) also it's endorsed online witnessing. People will decide to search the internet for time and forums, etc, and they'll stumble upon TTATT when they do so. Won't have a repeat of Rutherfords time when 75% leave at once. Only thing that will eventually stop it from really falling apart would be if they do away w/ all the controversial and control issues.

  This is just sad. Texas muslim ninth grader arrested for bringing clock to school

  this is how you force good talent to be used for bad things.

  specially considering his young age.. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/northwest-dallas-county/headlines/20150915-irving-ninth-grader-arrested-after-taking-homemade-clock-to-school.ece.

  And he was arrested for a hoax bomb. The police said he just said it's an alarm clock. Wasn't cooperating, gave no explanation why he brought it or their other questions. They determined it looked close enough or was intended to make people think it may be a bomb and that's why he was arrested. Based on his interview slip of saying how he tried to make it not look too much suspicious that they were correct in their judgement.

  That is the device. Doesn't look like an invention or a clock but like he took a clock apart and pieced it together to make it look like a bomb.

  He was interviewed and I think he slipped, you can see it here, but he says, "I didn't want to lock it to make it seem like a threat so I used a simple cable so it wouldn't look too much suspicious" . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mW4w0Y1OXE So he just accidentally admitted while making it that it was suspicious. He knew as he made it it would look like a bomb casing.

  When the teachers and officers were questioning him, he said it didn't look anything like a bomb, it was just a clock. Well if he didn't think it looked like a bomb, then when he was making it, what was he trying to make sure didn't look too suspicious???

  I think for some reason he purposely and knowingly made it to look like a bomb and either wanted to show off or make somebody think it was a bomb case. The alarm just happens to go off in the middle of class? He set it to go off. The police said he wasn't talking just saying it was a clock, gave no explanations.

  So this kid who when building it knew it was suspicious as a bomb from the start, then plays smart allec saying it's just an alarm clock and pretends to be confused why anybody would think otherwise other than him being muslim.

  He brings a fake bomb to school, and is celebrated, invited to the white house for his 'cool clock, umm bomb', and a big chunk of american sheeple in fear of being called racist now claiming what would have gotton anybody arrested if they brought to an airport or the white house as absolutely not suspicious at all and paved the way for real terrorists to use them now because if they make one they can just say it's an alarm clock or people will just ignore a valid threat for fear of being called racist or an idiot if it was wrong.
