I especially enjoyed the vague threat about nine minutes in. First he tells about someone who could attend the KH for 20 years and not contribute a cent and no one would know.........Except Jehovah, and he is really vengeful toward freeloaders. So pony up or die!

by Gorbatchov intonight gorby and his wife watched a part of the 2015 may edition of jw broadcasting.
we couldn't force our self to watch the full stuff, because of it's sneaky way of production.

So who's going to the meeting in Baltimore tonght?
by ShirleyW ini'm sure some kind of arrangement was made, some of the uber dubs in a panic as to what they would do if the couldn't get to their meeting tonight.
probably bumped it up a few hours so they wouldn't be out at night for those that live in the middle of what's going on..

Are those that attend the conventions really that untraveled and rude?
Is it really necessary to remind the same people year after year to not act sophomorically?
It's a waste of time to attend and a further waste to watch these "reminders."

Hello? If you're going to become a firefighter you are going to HAVE to march in parades and participate in flag raising ceremonies. No wonder he's being harassed. If a church or gay bar is on fire is he going to stand down?
He should be fired. Sorry for the pun.

Watchtower in local newspaper
by lostinthought inforgive me if this has been posted already but this was in my local paper today.. http://m.recordonline.com/article/20150307/news/150309486/0/wap&template=wapart.
if you have time to read, this is an interesting article talking about watchtowers property in ulster and orange county ny and how much the properties are worth.
it also goes on to show how the tax exempt stays is hurting the communities..

I remember the first time I encountered this issue going door to door. A rather irate householder pointed out that the WT donated a fire truck to the town of Patterson in exchange for it's tax exemption. BFD. The fire truck cost a couple of hundred thousand. The property taxes would and should have been in the millions after 35 or so years.
This in a state where middle class families routinely spend ten to fifteen thousand a year in school taxes alone.
If the UN doesn't seek to destroy religion, the annoyed taxpayers of NY State just might.

Behold the face of indoctrination! My moms guilt tripping letter to me.
by BU2B ini wish i knew what it was like to have an unconditionally loving mother.
i know she loves me and cares about me, but only within her narrow wt spectrum.
if i do not meet her narrow expectations, i am a failure to her.

It's a bad sign when your mother writes you and quotes scripture. Lots of people here, self included, are feeling your pain. My parents have passed without knowing I'm an unbeliever. My wife's mother is still guilt tripping her.
Mom in law wrote to dear wifey how sad she'll be in the "new order" when her daughter is not around. It's easy to write in euphemism's. What she really meant to say is that she'll be gloating about how she was "right" and her daughter was "wrong."
To put it even more plainly, the god of love that she worships will have killed a loving and devoted daughter, mom, wife and sister in order to prove he is righteous, and to avoid contaminating all the true believers left on earth after armageddon.
That this belief system is beyond disgusting goes without saying. While I'm sincerely sorry for your loss, you are forever releasing your children from such sick and destructive thinking. Take some comfort in that thought.

Parents who left 'the truth', here's an example of the threats that your children will no longer be subjected to
by defender of truth in13 some youths brought up by christian parents may not see the stark contrast between our current spiritual paradise and satans dark world.
some have even been tempted to see what life in the world is like.
but would you run in front of a moving car just to find out how painful and possibly fatal that could be?

Or...would you join a mind control cult that promotes poverty and advocates for the mass destruction of innocents? Just to find out what a disaster your life could become? Of course not! -

It's Over Johnny....The Demise of Jehovah's Witnesses
by ctrwtf ini think i've mentioned before that from time to time my commute on the bqe takes me past the old factory buildings and the soon to be former headquarters building.
i was struck the other day with how shabby they've become.
even 25 columbia heights, still currently occupied, its facade is filthy.

@sir 82 I've thought about the transformation from publisher to real estate mogul. The problem is, where is the cash flow? Real Estate is a very fickle strategy for them especially when one considers that the vast majority of holdings are not so valuable KH's. Even with the new redux in KH's they are not exactly liquid assets.
I've no doubt that the Wits are going to be around for awhile.....but eventually their well will dry up.
