Former Longtime Elder : Contributions

by James Jackson in

jw
friends

for a year now, i have been handling the accounts.

we have 6 elders and 7 ms, and none of them ( i am not serving), want to do the accounts, so they asked me to do it.

here is what i have noticed.. 4 elderly sisters cover the whole congregation in donations monthly!

Regardless of that being a CULT ... if you are a member and you say you are Christian and read the bible, it is a Christian duty to give whether you call it tithe, gifts, offerings, etc. Giving is part of Christian living and mandate of Jesus!

Interview of a sister - Friday morning at the District Convention

by Red Piller in

from my memory and shortened for highlights [my comments in brackets.

i found the whole interview astonishing]:.

"sister x-, you've been a baptized servant of jehovah since 1972.. you must have seen a lot since that time".

Personality Disorders Attracted to JWism

by skeeter1 in

are there personality disorders that find the watchtower an appealing fit?

i have read it before that people with personality issues are attracted to extreme religions, and that extreme religions can make a "normal" person mentallly ill. .

to start off with, i was reading about obsessive-compulsive disorders and this "profile" seemed like the "normal" jws i know:.

@ ADAMAH .... you are right, we need to always be on the lookout to make sure we are getting rid of the personalities traits we adquired for being in that CULT ...

Mom & Dad (Uber Dubs) and convo about child abuse within the BORG

by El_Guapo in

so i tt mom and dad via skype last weekend (they live on the other part of the county) and the topic of abuse came up.

of course they went ahead and blasted catholics for their coverups.

i mentioned gonzalo campos, now mom and dad know this guy he went to their hall for several years in san diego.

"What makes me really sad is that my mom doesn't sympathise with the mothers of the victims. A normal "motherly" reaction would be disgust, anger, etc. at the monster. She didn't even flinch, her anger is directed toward me. She is truly a BORG zombie devoid of natural motherly emotions. "

I had it with my JW families after their response to my niece's sexual abuse at the hands of JWs ... no empathy at all ... I really wish God would grant my niece the pleasure of being in heaven and her family being able to realize that while they are in hell ... LOL ... that would be perfect scenario ... sorry ... I love that idea ...

WHO REALLY ARE CHRIST'S BROTHERS ON EARTH?

by The Searcher in

"(john 1:12,13).

however, as many as did receive him, to them he gave authority to become gods children.........(john 15:14).

(1 john 5:1) every one who believes that jesus is the christ is a child of god..........(revised standard version).

Who benefits from the money they receive?

by unfamiliar in

i keep seeing people on here (and other places) talk about the wbts making money .

.

sorry if it should be obvious!.

Bella15

Must be a family or families benefiting through trusts, foundations, etc etc etc. The GB are puppets. These monies are way way way deep into trust of a trust of a trust of a trust of a trust ... I went to a financial seminar once where they explain from a SOLO PROPIETORSHIP, LCCs all the way to family foundations ... it is like a web ... this was even before I have fully discovered the truth about the WT Corporation, but I have visited their offices in NYC, something in my brain went DING DING DING, this is how the Watchtower operates ... I also think that the Fords are behind somehow with the Watchtower ... there is a connection way back ....

Anybody had Results talking with Relatives about Child Molestation Coverup?

by flipper in

mr. flipper here.

has anybody had results talking with believing or non believing relatives or friends about the molestation coverup?

i talked with my mom who has been a witness for 55 years and she was quite concerned about the wrongness of what's going on and wanted me to send her the ap news story on it, which i did.

Bella15

Flipper, my niece had ME when she turned 18 and was able to run away from her house, she literally turned 18 and moved with me the next day. I didn't know then what had happened to her until a few months later ... she ended up in the psychiatric hospital for a week due to PTSD ... she is 23 now ... and I swear that I will never EVER EVER EVER talk to my JWs relatives again because of the way they treat her ... they are as filthy as their spiritual PEDOPHILES brothers and sisters. My niece endured abuse for more than 7 years, twice the pedo tried to kill her, once by drawning her on a fish tank, second by throwing her from the second floor, and my niece was like 7 years old and that's why my JW family ARE ANIMALS TO ME and they can rot in hell ...

WATCHTOWER CD ROM to be TERMINATED

by The Searcher in

imho!!!.

reasons?

just have a look at one or two of my very many favorites from the wt library.

Bella15

LOL @ "The religious systems of Christendom have constructed magnificent buildings throughout the earth. They have also amassed great wealth in other forms. In many lands, these vast holdings are, by reason of their claimed sacred status, exempt from the assessments and taxes imposed upon businesses in general.

You mean just like all the thousands of KHs, Assembly Halls, Branches, NYC buildings the Watchtower CORPORATION has ????

LOL

I'm thinking about going back

by Corboy101 in

jw
friends

i have been out for 22 years.i was raised as a jehovahs witness.

i was baptized in 1986 but soon after left the religion.

theres a whole lot to the reasons why i left, but i left.

Bella15

Christianity is about accepting Jesus as the Son of God, the Messiah, believe in him to be saved, Grace not Works. If you are interested in doctrine you will not become a follower of Jesus and really any religion course at Univeersity would do.

Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

by flipper in

due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

what about the thousands that don't get caught?
