The silence from the OP @Jokanem is loud.

You say gambling is a sin and yet your religious organization is accepting a yearly grant in millions of dollars from the Norwegian Gambling Authority.

Please make it make sense.

Is this is not blatant hipocrisy?


Do as I say but not as I do?

His silence is really loud. Watchtower just loves to create Rules for JWs and enjoys pressurising them to follow them and punish them when they don't but they don't necessarily follow their own rules. Na JWs wey dey take them serious I dey pity. Their Freemason Governing body Stephen Let gave a talk about Dangers of Materialism but he is the same person with many properties and investments. How many JWs can boast of having many properties? JWs are swimming in poverty while Watchtower is raking Billions of dollars. They had no conscience in collecting money from a Gambling Authority but their website is filled with articles about dangers of Gambling. Rules for you but not for me.

Everything about evil is deliberately designed and very well organised whether it is a whole country eg Europe and America/China or a sect eg jw, Catholic church, latter day Saints, Grail message or hotels or banks

And these days they are getting ready to reveal themselves like this bitch has shown.

True. As for JWs, I am glad people are quick to discern them and stay away. They have a very high rejection rate when they go to preach. I am glad people don't get carried away by appearances and focus more on what will become of them should they choose to join.

Hi OP,

Great thread.

I have a couple of questions -

Since gambling is a sin, why is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Jehovah's Witnesses accepting grants from the Norwegian Gambling Authority?

Just last year, you guys received over 4 million Norwegian Krones which is approximately over 3 million US dollars from their Gambling Authority.

See image proof below -

Good question. He won't answer you o. All he knows is what Watchtower dumped into his head. Like a Zombie. Also, when MMM was on, there were JWs I know personally who were into it. Nobody practises Hypocrisy like JWs and Watchtower.

If snyper is given to anyone to drink no one would accept so it has to be placed in juice

Exactly. Only people with a Discerning spirit can see through JW. Otherwise, people wouldn't be so quick to define JW as a Cult. People who are after physical appearance or surface level attraction/impression will fall for the tricks of Demons. That is why God's word specifically defines Satan as One masquerading himself as an Angel of Light and his followers do the exact same thing. Everything you see on JW is deliberately designed that way. It is such a shame that upon all these efforts Watchtower took to lure people in and force them in, people end up leaving anyways and still people outside are not willing to join.

I never knew I would see the day or hear of JW Sisters leading in a Field Service Group.Wonderful! When there is shortage of Men to handle responsibilities, something is wrong somewhere.

The Kingdom Hall is serene as A first time observer. Keep going there and get to know the people and you will understand what Toxicity and Hypocrisy means. You will also notice Class distinctions and Cliques.

By the way, the Kingdom Hall is supposed to be serene because that is what is expected of them but the reception is where all of them get loose.

Watchtower is also against Higher Education/University Education. The Cult operates by reducing JWs to people who lack a sense of ambition in order to make them dependent on the Cult. It is purposely designed that way. Times and times again to this day in their Convention talks, they speak against University education. Back in the day, they were against Marriage and Secondary school education even forcing JWs to choose Marriage or the Cult. Many JWs left at that time. When they saw they were losing so many members, they had to adjust but upgraded to speaking against University. The Cult is all about Rules Rules Rules. Like the Pharisees Jesus condemned. JWs will come and tell you that they go to the University and that no such thing exists. But that is a Lie because every JW knows that Watchtower rule is Bullshit! Every JW knows when Watchtower speaks against University in talks, conventions and Broadcasts. But they like to pretend no one is speaking to them when it comes to University education. They are not allowed to disagree with Watchtower in words instead they do it in action. This is why they disregard it and go to the University regardless. This is why some of them accept Blood Transfusion secretly. They know that they pick and choose which rule to follow because they are all Bullshit rules. They know that Elders are removed when their children attend the University. But for some strange reason, they assume in their delusional heads that such never happens just so that they can make sense of their delusional doctrines and continue in the Cult. A very messed up mentality they have in there. This is what will become of you when you join this Cult. There are many JWs living double lives in that Cult. And that is because that is the only way to survive in that Cult. If they leave, they loose their social circle and Families.

And remember, in JW, when you don't follow their beloved Watchtower rules, you are considered Spiritually Weak.

In case you don't know much about JW, this is the life of a JW below. You will only see something different if a JW doesn't necessarily follow the rules of Watchtower. But if you follow their rules like an obedient robot, this is how your life will look like.

Are Jehovah’s Witnesses a Cult?

No, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not a cult. Rather, we are Christians who do our best to follow the example set by Jesus Christ and to live by his teachings.

What is a cult?

The term “cult” means different things to different people. However, consider two common perceptions regarding cults and why those perceptions don’t apply to us.

1) Some think of a cult as being a new or unorthodox religion. Jehovah’s Witnesses have not invented a new religion.

On the contrary, we pattern our worship after that of the first-century Christians, whose example and teachings were recorded in the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:​16, 17)

We believe that the Holy Scriptures should be the authority on what is orthodox in matters of worship.

2) Some think of a cult as being a dangerous religious sect with a human leader.

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not look to any human as their leader. Rather, we adhere to the standard that Jesus set for his followers when he stated: “Your Leader is one, the Christ.”​—Matthew 23:10.

Far from being a dangerous cult, Jehovah’s Witnesses practice a religion that benefits themselves and others in the community.

For example, our ministry has helped many people to overcome harmful addictions, such as the abuse of drugs and alcohol. In addition, we conduct literacy classes around the world, helping thousands learn to read and write.

And we are actively involved in disaster relief.

We work hard to have a positive impact on others, just as Jesus commanded his followers to do.​—Matthew 5:​13-​16.

Look at the words below in the screenshots. This is exactly how JWs operate. Therefore, you are in a Cult. You are in a Freemason Cult deliberately disguised as a Christian one.

The Op hasn't even successfully answered the Question. What he should have answered is if the Bible specifically mentioned Blood Transfusion and if there was anything like Blood Transfusion back in the day before the Bible was written. The same Jews who were given this command to abstain from Blood Knew it was referring to ingesting Blood and not Blood Transfusion. The same Jews also take Blood Transfusion today. So, one needs to ask Watchtower how exactly they came up with a Human Sacrifice doctrine that has led to so many lives lost that is more than how many people that die in many destructive Cults. When people call you JWs a Cult, you will get angry not knowing you operate exactly as one. The same Watchtower tells you that you can take Blood fractions but you forget that you need the same blood to get the fractions. Are you really abstaining from Blood this way? How do you intend to get fractions when you don't donate Blood as a JW? Anyways, recent news shows some of you JWs take Blood secretly without anyone knowing except for Nurses and Doctors. You JWs already know this doctrine is nonsense and don't necessarily follow it. The Japanese government are beginning to shine torch on you JWs over there because of how this Human Sacrifice of a Doctrine is having an effect on Young children who can't make decisions.

Very unfortunate.

The answer is a resounding Yes. The Jehovah's witnesses organisation is a Cult. They operate like the below words.

Comments.

The Henrietta Riley Trust fund for Watchtower isn't the only means Watchtower gets money to support their lavish lifestyle. There are other Trust funds. Since Watchtower is a 501c3 organisation a.k.a Government agents, they also get Government grants as well as Money from different private organisations..

News below confirming the statewide investigation of All Elders in Pennsylvania and their Congregations for Child Sexual Abuse. According to the News below, Watchtower itself is also under Investigation. Also, below is the testimony from a Victim given to the Grand Jury in Pennsylvania.

The first two were never disfellowshipped for what they did. They were only reassigned to other Bethel Branches and served as Elders whereas the lower JWs get disfellowshipped for other wrongdoings. Tells you why Watchtower covers up Child Sexual Abuse.

Watchtower during the time of Judge Rutherford when Their publications were for sale and when they were honest enough to identify themselves as a Company /Corporation and not a Religion. They even say Religion is your Enemy But Watchtower is your Friend. Just look at the sheer arrogance in this advert for their publications below. You can tell it was written by Rutherford himself.

Look what I found. Arrests on Spy related activities. In China. Again. 🙁 I couldn't read the whole article because it requires subscription.

Jehovah's witnesses need to really examine all these stup1d persecution stories Watchtower puts up in their videos to move them to sacrifice their lives for the Cult and they ask them to pray for their Bros and Sis. There is more that meets the eye in all these stories. Something is not right.

And China is never mentioned by Watchtower. This explains a previous post from Reddit I posted sometime ago about so called JW missionaries secretly going to China under the guise of going to Teach English there when they are actually going there to do their Fake Recruitments aka Spy activities. And in the end, some get arrested. This Cult never ceases to amaze.

Quite shameful that JWs are lumped together with dangerous Cults in this book. What happened to people knowing that you are Jesus Disciples if you have love among yourselves? That hasn't worked at all.
