  Remember this picture?

  by Zoos in

  2. experiences

  i went to a small non-denominational church yesterday - first time in a church since i left the borg 4 years ago - and this is how i observed several of the members singing.. .

  boy... do those people love to sing.. .

  i try not to judge the sincerity of others but i was a little put off by the experience because it looked fake, showy display-ish.

  Watchtower Inc. 100 Henry Street Links to MANY other Suspect Companies

  by objectivetruth in

  there have been a few posts in the past about watchtower inc. at 100 henry street, but i do not see the answer i'm hoping for.. can anyone confirm or provide details linking watchtower inc. to the wbts?

  they are across the street, and one can easily assume that they are connected, but i don't see any definite links.. the closest i have come is this link: http://www.insideview.com/directory/watchtower-inc which lists watchtower.org as the website.

  this could have been posted like this in error however.. according to 2014 sec filings watchtower inc. has a ceo named sholom drizin ( a man worth possibly 2 billion.).

  How else would Sister Centenarian's bequeathed 80 year old one carat diamond wedding ring/gold jewelry be hawked for cash than through the NYC precious metals/diamond resale cartel.

  a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.

  congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.

  take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.

  @Blondie: re, assigned times! Strikes a chord with me. I saw where the late-risers would send out their "scouts", typically younger, zealous single brothers/sisters to save seats by running through the venue and spreading out blankets over entire rows of seats, meanwhile their buddies back at the hotel slept off the 2500 calorie pasta meal consumed the night before.

  @Indian Larry: you're right, why would they waste their time on petty "illegal" activities when they have the corner on the tax-free publishing house and real estate enterprise.

  Satan's tic tacs or GB kool aid?

  by sparrowdown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone that has been a jw would be familiar with any or all the following scenarios.. 1. you get offered a full time position or promotion after submitting a pioneer application.. 2. a really great bible student you have gets offered a job which means they have to move or have no time for study anymore.. 3. a promising return visit begins a new relationship and the new bf/gf is'nt favourable to jws so the great rv backs off.. 4. a married sister falls pregnant right after her and her husband are invited to bethel or circuit work or gilead.. 5.a couple needs to start caring for an aging parent right after they decide to move to where the need is greater.. etc, etc, etc.

  most if not all jw's would tell you satan is to blame,.... or is he?.

  satanic pattern of sabotage or blind superstition?.

  As if investing Kingdom funds in hedge funds, Rand Corp. wasn't seedy enough. It wouldn't surprise me if Watchtower Inc. was connected to gambling, human trafficking, illegal drugs, etc.

  New donation arrangement - double the contributions

  by Splash in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in the march 29th 2014 boe letter to be read to the congregations, this new donation arrangement is stated to be "an adjustment to financing kingdom hall and assembly hall construction worldwide".. this arrangement will remove the low-receipt kingdom hall construction worldwide (khcw) contribution boxes from kingdom halls.. incidentally, this used to be called the society kingdom hall fund (skhf) but this too never received very many contributions, even after it was rebranded and relaunched as khcw.. so how to increase revenues - another relaunch.. this time the voluntary and anonymous aspect is being focussed on, with a 'group responsibility' mindset instead.. don't ask the individuals to think about and contributing, ask the congregation as a whole, then fix it into a bank payment so it never gets forgotten and never decreases.. so why is this thread called 'double contribution'?.

  the letter to be read says that this money will be used to "support the construction of theocratic facilities wherever they are needed".. so how does this differ from the worldwide work contribution box, according to a 2005 kingdom ministry?.

  I thought the US property sales had been frozen because of the Candace Conti case.

  Attendant #1 to Elder #1 via mic/earphone (think Secret Service): Ah, sir, Sister Teenybopper and her cousin just bit into the unleavened bread. What the hell should I do?

  Elder #2: Brother Kiss-assky, make a note on your report. Elder Overbearing and I will interrogate later. Thanks little Brother, you are truly making
