  Jehovah intervened in Russia

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i saw the recent video that the borg put out about the trial in russia and how pleased the russian brothers were that a member of the gibbering booty, brother sanders, came to support them for six days.

  well, there was a one-day delay in the trial which enabled the russian witnesses to have the memorial in their kingdom halls.

  well, brother sanders was very quick to point out that it was very evident that jehovah intervened to enable the brothers to celebrate the memorial.

  Jehovah did intervene. Kingdom hall maintenance is expensive. GB member Stephen Lett reminded everyone this when he said: "When doing the math we found that the amount of money going out exceeds the amount of money coming in." Evidently jehovah heard the prayers of he GB and have relieved the GB of the burden of kingdom hall maintenance in Russia.

  2. child-abuse

  i have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.

  i keep reading that there were 6 child abuse lawsuits that settled for 13 million dollars.

  Richard Oliver
  From WatchtowerDocuments.org
  Incredulously, by mistake, one California court actually sent me court-sealed settlement papers which revealed that the Watch Tower paid out $781,250 to one victim. Multiplying this figure by 16 victims, the total was an even $12,500,000.

  I actually asked Ms Anderson, the owner of Watchtower Documents, about this and she informed me she had purchased court documents of cases for her book she was writing and this is how the court-sealed settlement papers were sent to her.

  Naturally I used my real name when talking to her.

  JWs: We don't respond to false accusations.

  RUSSIA: Jehovah's Witnesses are extremists.

  JWs: Here's our extensive response both on our website, by a worldwide letter campaign, presentations on our TV Broadcasting program by governing body members, in our magazines, in press releases, in all these written volumes of response, and in our media and TV interviews.

  here's the short article found in the "did you know?

  " series found on watchtower documents, and, underneath it, is the unusual comment:.

  Imagine a loyal JW couple both 30 years of age deciding to have no children because "the end is so close" but put Watchtower's kingdom interests first.

  1938 - 2017 = 109 years (died and gone to heaven according to JW beliefs whereupon they learnt that all the teachings of the Watchtower were wrong and the end was not going to come anytime soon.)

  1974 - 2017 = 73 years (taken off the district work because of changes and sent out into the territory where he served as the cobe elder until 70 when he was removed because he was too old. They now live in a bungalow at the back of someone's house.)

  1987 - 2017 = 60 years (spent the past 25 years at bethel and then laid off with the downsizing. Too young for pension. No qualifications. No assets. No children.

  "[Jehovah's] Witnesses, visited us from France and left us the books Government and Deliverance, published by the Watch Tower Society."

  Watchtower's "Government" book by Rutherford is interesting in that the very thing the book criticizes the Soviet government on the Watchtower itself has become.

  Is it just me or is this weeks CLAM more "cultish" than usual?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe it was my mood, but last night the meeting seemed really over the top cultish.. mainly the latter portion that just focused on presentation videos which always seem creepy to me anyway.. then the local needs was pre-empted by a video all about ldc which seemed completely pointless.

  (on a side note my wife knew a couple of different people in it).

  the congregation "bible" study which dealt with the ever changing cover of the watchtower magazine.

  UK JWs go up 72 places in latest 2017 Charity 250 Index (2nd highest climbers)

  i'm not really sure what this charity 250 index is trying to do.

  partly because i'd expect a few big household name charities to be on it at the top.

  i've copied the table below - see positions 19 (up from 70) and 130 (up from 202).

  Hmmm, I wonder how much money the JW Russian branch has donated to Watchtower Britain.

  Keep in mind that donations from Watchtower branches all over Europe and Africa make their way to Watchtower Britain.

  Also, while not a donation but a non-secured loan, Watchtower Australia has run its operations into the red by passing millions onto Watchtower Britain. Add to that millions and millions more Watchtower Australia has donated to overseas charities (all controlled by the GB) during the ARC hearings until the cash was all gone.
