Watchtower Pays Out 1.5 MILLION TO AVOID JURY DECISION!

[TRAVERSEPOINT]

its all about loop holes as well. the land the kingdom halls sit on is called (township) congregation of jehovah's witnesses. this tract of land 1.71 acres its full market value is $500,000! and some of their property is under the name watchtower bible and tract society this large tract of land the full market value is $157,894,737 in 2010 but was reduced to $150,000,000! wonder what happened? anyway its all about how to dodge liability.

[earnestlyseeking]

So in other words by settling, they wiped the slate clean and next time around everything would have to start over from scratch. meaning that it would take a lot longer to rule on the issue. If it had been decided on without a settlement, it would take less time, because the court could refer back to the earlier case. I never thought about it that way. Makes sense. What a crooked organization. I agree they need to come clean, and come to Christ.

@earnestlyseeking

Actually, what would happen if it was determined by a jury is this...If the jury saw that the WT Leadership was the AGENCY and Jordan Johnson was the AGENT acting on their behalf and "forwarding their purpose", then they would be found guilty and a "precedent" would be established. That would mean that the WT would be liable for any damages cause by any Bethelite or possibly any JW.

See the potential here for financial ruin?

@TheSnarkyApologist WT also had all Kingdom Halls take down any signs or emblems connected to the WT. Also they are encouraging the JWs to meet for field service in private homes now, instead of the Kingdom Hall.I'm not familiar with the details but this is related to an incident where a JW in field service injured someone. Recently, the Circuit Overseer actually said if we meet for field service in homes it will limit the WTs liability!

[peaceintruth]

@TheSnarkyApologist The idea of meeting in homes for field service is to make it appear as if the WT has nothing to do with this door to door work but rather its soley the idea and initiative of the local brothers. They want total control without any responsibility! SICK! And the rank and file totally trust them....sadly they will be disappointed soon!

@peaceintruth I can think of a incident that happened on a quick build that I was on. An elder fell 15 feet onto a slab of concrete that broke his hip,back and legs. I remember a RBC (Regional Building Committee) representative taking charge of the situation. I never thought anything of it back then, freaking jerks! I knew the family and I know who paid ALL of those DR bills. If a person gets hurt on your property, whose insurance pays for accident and injury? SNAKES!

[peaceintruth]

@1914watcher Wow, I dont remember that one. Did I know them? Let me guess, the WT didnt help pay anything and as a good faithful brother he wouldnt even think of putting any unnessesary burden on "Jehovahs Organization".

God uses same principle to judge all religious leaders and God's judgement has same Eternal Consequences for both religious leaders and all their agents (JWs)

False Prophet/Teachers are condemned. We must flee from them because:

Punishment of false prophet and their followers IS SAME (Eze14:10) for the man and all his house (Jer 23:16,26,34; 2Pet2:1-3 = "for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." Mat 23:15

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." 2Co6:17-18

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Rev 18:4

JWs, come out from your false prophet org, STOP partaking of your religious rulers sins!

[barbsinclair]

Con't...

JWs do you REALLY read this and take the Word of Abba, Holy Father to heart?

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, AND WILL BE A FATHER UNTO YOU, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." 2Co6:17-18

JWs, you go about saying "JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH" for your religious organization

But is God "A FATHER UNTO YOU" ?

Do you "cry, Abba, Father" unto God? = Rom8:15;Gal4:6

[21crosscheck21]

@barbsinclair That's a sobering thought Barb.... I pray that active Jws will consider that carefully.

[barbsinclair]

@21crosscheck21

Yes, I pray the JWs will, to consider that carefully also. I was just praying, and this came to my heart - the Muslims go about saying "Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar", which translated means "Allah is Greater". How is that different then what the JWs are doing, saying Jehovah is greater, didn't Jesus say my Father is greater? So JWs go about saying Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah.... he is greater.

It is no different, both Muslims and JWs deny Christ the Lord, our Saviour Jesus Christ.

[barbsinclair]

@21crosscheck21

And I know, many JWs shall watch Bill's video, and they won't care that their religious organization paid out any money to anyone according to what the courts say... they just go and say its Satan's org coming against us.

[21crosscheck21]

Isn't that why they split into 3 corporations, to limit liability?

[SpecialPioneerSmerf]

These leaders of the WatchTower really know how to work over the legal system. No cost is too high it seems to avoid going to trial. I was just reading the latest on the Australia case and the WatchTower appears to their old tricks, pulling strings from behind the scenes, manipulating the court itself. These guys just have no shame.

[OurGr8God]

@SpecialPioneerSmerf - When greed and power are involved, there is no room for shame. Or for God for that matter. God is not behind the WT, only greed and power are.

[JesusTheMonotheist]

@OurGr8God You guys speak as though only the WT is the only organization that is corrupt, there is greed in mainstream Christianity. It's more shameful for mainstream Christianity when they commit their crimes because they are trampling the blood of Jesus, not so with the JW they don't know Christ intimately.

[OurGr8God]

@JesusTheMonotheist - I agree with you my friend, you're right. Greed and corruption are in just about every religion that exists. It is a shame that people who "supposedly" confess Christ as Lord often let $ get the best of them. That is why religion to me has no place in my mind, only Jesus. corruption is rampant, So my faith remains in God and not man. God Bless You! and thanx for your post.
