Possible way Jehovah will remove the Watchtower organisation

[Ms_ladyblue]

This is still the case I can confirm. The tally sheet is now a direct deposit xfr that happens at the bank level and a confirmation doc is sent to the cong by secure email. While speaking on cong finances, wanted to share that been observing that expenses continue to increase. Circuit, cong, HQ specific amount donations per month, etc. It just seems like these expenses are being passed down to congregation publishers with no regards to the tough times we are living in, ie. inflation, etc. Add in far-away assemblies for those in the foreign lang, it gets expensive fast. Our cong funds are quite low and still, we're on the hook for lot's of monthly expenses. We are month-2-month right now and that depends on if sufficient donations are available. I had a bit of a confrontation with a CO becuase he said to send checks via certified mail, but that has a fee of which we want to avoid. I said that wasn't in the direction we rec'd... he argued it was. I confirmed it wasn't, but nonetheless, he didn't even flinch when I mentioned funds were low. It's like, 'pay up... we expect the resolution will be honored', ie. make it happen. Uggh.

This is too much devotion to the WT idol they’ve made of themselves. Do they not talk of preaching the good news anymore?

La falta de razonamiento y profundidad en la verdad está impulsado por su nivel de estudios. Leemos un texto en la reunión, las preguntas vienen por párrafos. Uno las realiza y el resto lee la respuesta . Encima te hacen prepararte La Atalaya como si fuese difícil encontrar la respuesta en el texto. Y tú la subrayas como si fuese necesario señalar lo encontrado. Ninguna pregunta o duda improvisada. Ninguna aclaración individual. Si no lo comprendes estás débil espiritualmente. Ya si planteas preguntas, que sería algo necesario para comprender mejor la escritura, dudas. Si dudas...problemas, porque eres templado y ya sabemos lo que Jehová hace con que son tibios. Que van a querer entender si tienen que obedecer. Ahí está la trampa!

Translation: The lack of reasoning and depth in truth is driven by their level of studies. We read a text in the meeting, the questions come in paragraphs. One realises them and the rest reads the answer. On top of that, they make you prepare The Watchtower as if it were difficult to find the answer in the text. And you underline it as if it were necessary to point out what was found. No improvised question or doubt. No individual clarification. If you don't understand it, you are spiritually weak. Already if you ask questions, which would be something necessary to better understand writing, doubts. If you doubt... problems, because you are temperate and we already know what Jehovah does with them being warm. That they will want to understand if they have to obey. There's the trap!

They want your EXCLUSIVE DEVOTION. I believe Satan has taken over this organization due to the fact that they want more of the attention given to them. Something, such as our devotion that should be going to Jehovah, the organization/WT/ GB wants.

Yes and why do they make those arbitrary rules? We remember one video very well and it's probably the one you have in mind. We felt sorry for the older widowed sister who was assigned by the elders to a different congregation than her daughter and grandchildren.

From her perspective, at least as portrayed on the video, it was no big deal to her. But in a real-life situation, was her response truly realistic?. Why put her in that situation? Why put that burden/stress on her when she could have easily been assigned to the congregation where her family was assigned? Sounds like a "control" phobia and, then, they put the video out to make anyone, who has objections to the assignment, appear to be un-theocratic. They want us to believe it was Jehovah's direction and, most likely, Jehovah had nothing to do with it.

Yes that was the one: Disgrace! The way they showed how to respond and the way not to; Similar to Goebbel's propaganda films. You must obey every word without questioning. Ugly method of getting the congregations to go along with their robbery of Jehovah's property!

While its not officially called tithing, it's about as close as you can get.
My wife handled the congregation accounts for approximately the last 15 years thru 2022. The "mandatory" $$$ per publisher/month arrangement has steadily increased over the years. In our congregation the "voluntary" donations to the WWW were, for the most part, about the same as the "mandatory" tithing contribution. So, if that holds true for the all the US, the dollar amount actually sent to the branch each year totals about $240,000,000 each year. That's just the US.

Soon they’ll be putting names of non compilers on a bulletin board of public shame on the rear wall of the hall.

Considering the pace at which things are escalating at WT, all things seem possible. After all, "shame" is an effective tool used by cult leaders.

No doubt, contributions would skyrocket as the faithful scramble to remove themselves from the "Board of Public Shame" regardless of the "cost". But, it would be good for WT's bank account so you may be on to something, Ken.

Thanks for that information, Melinda. Very informative and enlightening.
WT knows no shame when it comes to their lust for money and their lust for power!!!
Sorry, we forgot something - lust for control!!!
