Elders in Spain Steal Millions from Congregation

by cappytan in

these men are appointed by holy spirit,.

here is the source: http://www.economiadigital.es/es/notices/2015/01/la-fiscalia-imputa-una-estafa-de-mas-de-170-millones-de-euros-a-una-congregacion-de-testigos-de-jeho-65161.php.

basically, if you don't know spanish, it boils down to this: (my personal editorial of what i've read).

I have not seen a bloodless hospital but I have heard mention of something like it. I also heard, from a JW relative, that someone started a private school for witnesses, where evolution and other worldly sciences are not considered in the curriculum and where preparing kids for the meeting is part of the daily activities.

In either case, I would not doubt that the average witness would not hesitate to put up money for "such noble cause", real or not.

What is yet more exciting is, if the news gets confirmed and spread, what would be the WTBTS reaction. I would not put it past them that they would see how much of that money could have been theirs if some "sense" was talked into the brothers. That is, do not believe in this "bloodless hospitals", if you want to help, send us the money.

Fourteen elders can easily come from on KH that hosts more than one large cong, but 1300 donors can not come from one place. I am assuming that people from their hall got talked into it and they talked their relatives and friends into it.

Insistance on legal contracts

by StarTrekAngel in

just asking those who still attend or keep up with the latest magazines.

there was a wt study not too long ago that insisted on studying every pact that god made in the past, but adding the spin of calling them "legal contracts".

this week's book study concentrated on the same thing.

StarTrekAngel

Yeah, I had kind of figured that out even before I began coming to sites like this one. But there is a gap between a verbal agreement and a written one.

ok.. I just hope that one day they are not going to start demanding we sign a legal agreement in order to remain members or get baptized.

Resolutions to send money to society

by wannaexit in

jw
friends

during the course of the year congregations pass a number of resolutions to send money to the branch.

this year i've resolved to count all money grab endeavors.

so far for the month of january there were two locally:.

StarTrekAngel

Our cong resolved to send $300 a month after the new arrangement was announced. Our Hall had just finished a $130K remodeling project. Everyone saw this as the biggest blessing ever. We had not send the first payment for the project and the loan was "forgiven". Never mind that we would now donate $300 for who knows how long. Not a year later, in December, another resolution was passed to up the amount to $500 a month.

Why I like Jehovah's Witnesses

by undercover witness in

i keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.

i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.

so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.

StarTrekAngel

I am pretty sure individual members are for the most part nice people. I know may that are indeed. They are just unaware of what they got into. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish but whomever wrote that did not bother to research the topic.
