To any Jehovah's Witnesses reading these comments and watching these videos: be aware that your Watchtower has always been a BUSINESS pretending to be a religion. "The Watch Tower Society is not a religious society for public worship, such as a church, *but is a business corporation..."* - "Facts For Shareholders", p.2, November 15, 1917
My Dad had been an Elder since the arrangement came into existence. As a builder, he would pull his workforce off a job and helped build,not one but TWO Kingdom Halls. He regularly shoved bills into the Contribution Boxes. Toward the end of his life he simply ran out of money. Who did the Elders approach to support him? Filthy dirty sinner me!
Hi Stacy, I left that CULT in 1974 and pursuit of a career and firefighting. I love my job helping people I worked in Northridge earthquake and was on a task team at 9:11. I try to help the needy now when I can, I'm retired 68 years old. My family won't talk to me because I've been disfellowshipped. It's been about 30 years since I've talked to them. I don't even know if my mom still alive. This sickens me the governing body is like pigs at the trough eating as much as they can and not sharing, never helping their own. Sometimes I wish there was a hell they would be the first ones there take care Stacy thank you for your info with brotherly love, Keith.
You're a hero Keith!!! Thank you for all you do!!! I'm so sorry for the way your family is captive to a cult. It's unnatural. They should be praising your efforts to help others!!!
I read this exact response on Reddit from a JW. Watchtower is all-wise, and knows the banking system is unstable, so establishing these three asset mgt. firms is a brilliant financial move. The JW concluded their several comments worshiping WT with, "If Watchtower opens a bank, I'm putting my money there."
And they will not be wrong. Watchtower is business and is just maximizing its money. Even JWs do not turn down business opportunities as long as it meets their moral criteria. I recommend you also look for ways to make more money.
The biggest con job of them all, is the Watchtower corporation is exempt from paying taxes. That luxury should be revoked. The old adage, "death and taxes" don't apply to the org.
No. Religions are tax-exempt as they are not established to make profit but serve people. And no, getting money should not be confused with profit. And no, just because you do not like nor value the public service does not mean it is invalid service and must pay taxes. And no, I am not a JW; I am just smart enough to think logically rather than emotionally.
@b1crusade384 when a JW kingdom hall is built with free labor, on tax exempt property, then that property is sold to secular people, you can be sure the org makes a profit.
The governing body has convinced rank and file members that they are spiritually rich and that should be enough for them. They have also created a spiritual paradise for them. 😂
Haven't contributed a single cent for decades! However, sad to report that Hubby, and immediate Family, who are ALL inside hook-line-and-sinker keep on giving it all to those CHARLATANS...😢

I grew up in this Cult in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s we had no tools like members have today like the internet and the great help from the ex JW community on a cell phone. For JW to stay long in this Cult nowadays is shameful
@survivingparadisepodcast we have to remember that the elder jws have been trained not to look and to be scared of outside information. My dad was baptised at 13 and still very much in at 80! I wouldn't even want him to wake up now. It would kill him!

The organization is up to their combovers in high finance, real estate, politics, the music industry, Hollywood, sports, law, medicine… I was just watching a vid about Nelson Mandela’s first wife being converted to a JW, but Nelson refused to give in and become politically neutral. Who would have an interest in making Nelson Mandela politically neutral? Who is really backing these people? Is it even plausible that they are getting “tens of billions of dollars” off of window washers and janitors? Why is the organization NEVER charged criminally and rarely held accountable in civil court?
Because they are another segment of the BLACKROCK Empire and thus protected from prosecution on all grounds. Satan is the Ruler of the World and he is their father.
I always thought the money that I donate goes to the needy and widows in our congregation. But it doesn't. It goes straight to the GB - The 9 men in New York.
Unfortunately you are thinking of the Christianity of Christ's day . To feed the poor widows and orphans. But that was before big business saw a great opportunity to fleece the gullible. And sadly all that time we all lost Sunday Thursday Tuesday F/S Assembly Hall Cleaning the list is endless. We were all conned at least we had a awakening eventually we were all mugged by fear of Armageddon and the hope of seeing loved ones again and having a lion for a pet
Amazing work again!. Watchtower has always had investment portfolios as many previous whistleblowers mentioned. I think their assets have grown so much that they need a larger asset management firm. We can scream till we're blue in the face, we may reach some. But most JWs are emotionally attached just like an abused wife. I've have many intelligent people say to me "where else will we go". The boys in Warwick will continue to have their foot on their necks. Thank you!
Hebrews 4v13, was in todays text, it reads.........And there is not a creation that is hidden from HIS sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of the one to whom we must give an account. ! ..................?
Just one more thought, my husband before we were married would talk about how he didn't have money for food as he put everything into the gas tank. It got so bad for him that when he would visit his mom and actually eat a decent meal he said he would feel better. That's here in the states. And people say this is not a cult, how can it not be when they are having people sell everything and live in property to support their portfolio. Yep my husband sold everything he owned to keep pioneering, I stupidly thought that was a faithful thing to do. Again hindsight is 20/20😢
As I am working today mulling over your podcast this week, I got to thinking about how much our time is worth. My husband pioneered for almost 18 years. I, for about 12. We sold everything to go to Bethel to help increase their real estate empire by helping to build 90 Sands. At the time I honestly thought that we were growing so fast we desperately needed more room in Brooklyn. Hindsight's always 20/20 isn't it. 90 Sands was built only so they could flip it. I was repeatedly told I was just a good for nothing slave. If I had a dime for every time I was told that. Anywho, I just did a rough figure and making just minimum wage of 5 dollars an hour for 30 years comes to 312,000. No we didn't give them that kind of money, but really they still got that out of us. Here I am working still and if I had just used my time the way I really wanted to, I would be easily retired 😢 Yep Jesus needs more!😮
Stacy your podcast distressed me greatly. I served as an elder For 2 decades. 3 of the 5 on the body wanted to use congregation funds to help the needy in our congregation. We fought this for at least a decade. You know James 1 look after widows and fatherless boys. We had North of 20 grand in our congregation account. 3 of us wanted help out 3 widows who were 40 years in the org. The other was a single Mother with 3 teenage boys and a teenage girl. The p.o. would fight with us and when the c.o. would show up it would be squashed. I remember on several occasions 3 of us giving the needy ones money out of our pockets.They were solid men with huge hearts. Then the c.o. rolled and told us to send 20k to New York because the guys up there knew how to use it. The 3 of us said no way. The c.o. wrote up a nasty report on his last visit with us saying we were not cooperating with directions from branch. The new c.o. on his first visit basically let us know he had the power to remove us. One guy caved and now they had a majority. The money ended up in New York.This one one the situations that felt really slimy. You take your beatings and move on. The fact that they have billions of dollars isn't surprising. They have bled the flock for 1.5 centuries.Remember miracle wheat? I have known old farmers who left large sums of cash to watchtower. They had no children. I just hope jws will wake up and see what the real end goal is. Thank you.
Wow!!!! This comment is powerful!! I've heard similar stories of ones who served as elders in this cult speak of just how much $$$$ was in the bank accounts of each congregation...hoping to serve assist NEEDY JWs within their own congregations, only to be TAKEN by the NINE GUYS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK!! Where IS the TRUE God and loving son, Jesus Christ, in this whole debacle?!! I do and appreciate good men like you speaking out and telling your truth about this cult.
Oh man.....ugh, this makes me sick to read and I have a similar story during a 'quick build' KH.... the CO's are truly field generals for the GB; unlimited power to do what they please....I'm so sorry. Thats a triggering memory!!
i remembered donating curtain rods because the curtains at kingdom hall is falling out from plastic ties, when i brought to the kingdom hall, I was told to ask permission first. I conclude they really wanted cash
One of jws investments is called IBSA property London. Each apartment is selling for £1,350,000. when found scroll down the page and see who owns it. 😢
Religion has always been a big money business. The JWs are no different. Actually they are different in that they’d rather the members stay poor. It’s by designed as they know if people are encouraged to go to uni and get good paying jobs, it’ll leave them little or no time to follow the GB. They’ll rather have the members give free labor to build KHs etc which they can turn over for huge profits. In my estimation the GB have a very good business model. What better way to get rich. Religion is indeed a snare and a racket.

_"Guided by a sound mind and _*_contentment with the necessities of life,_*_ an investor does well to keep financial concerns in their place."_ Awake 2000 10/8 p. 27 Is It Wise to Invest in the Stock Market? Why can't Watchtower just be content with the necessities of life in the same way they tell JWs to be? _"Investors should be aware that a financial planner or a stockbroker may be merely pitching his own services or manipulating his customer for profit."_ Awake 2000 10/8 p. 27 Written honestly, this paragraph would say, "Jehovah's Witnesses should be aware that Watchtower and its investment companies may be merely pitching their own religious agenda or manipulating Jehovah's Witnesses for profit."
The bible says that we must not become a burden on others, that if we do not work we can not eat, and if we do not look after our own we are worse than those with no faith. Yet Jesus says: sell your belongings, give it to the poor and follow me. By doing this I will become poor. be a burden on others and will not be able to look after my own or be able to eat. Really. What a contradiction! So now others will sell their belongings and give it to me who is now poor and needy! Are we all going to be poor and needy?

UBS Bank shady past, part 2.... Tax evasion edit Main article: UBS tax evasion controversies The strict banking secrecy policies and bank-client confidentiality agreements at UBS have frequently been used to avoid, evade or otherwise escape foreign direct taxation. UBS reached multilateral agreements with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and U.K. HM Revenue and Customs in 2009 and 2010, respectively.[245 No surprise....😢
So what? Watchtower is a business and is looking out for #1, like a business should. I am shocked it took it this long to realize the value of reducing fees to obtain money.
Imagine as they pulled 1975 Part Deux how many people willed their homes to 'The Society™'. PLUS they're selling their properties so they HAVE a LOT to manage WORLDWIDE 😤
Hi Stacey 👋, I'm so Sorry But I have to laugh at the Beginning story 😮😅 She gave up all, for Men that consider her as a Number. Her story isn't funny but what they are doing to people I bet they are Laughing.

i remembered donating curtain rods because the curtains at kingdom hall is falling out from plastic ties, when i brought to the kingdom hall, I was told to ask permission first. I conclude they really wanted cash
@@TeresaMalinao-d1nWant they really want us control of everything.
ABBA en Pink Floyd songs about Money are for the nine Guys in upstate New York !
Both CLASSICS!!!
Yes Stacy, Expose these grifters!!!
They make it so easy ;)
I can't believe you didn't add an extra one second to this video to make the length 1:11:11. My OCD is offended.
OH NO!!!! Now my OCD is triggered!!! how did I miss that!!!!???? LOL!~
Money is the complete opposite of Jesus
Until he became a Jehovah's Witnesse ;)
One of jws investments is called IBSA property London. Each apartment is selling for £1,350,000. when found scroll down the page and see who owns it. 😢
DONATIONS, FREE LIFE LONG LABOR, TAX EXEMPT FOR OVER 150 YRS = TENS OF BILLIONS
All TRUE!!!
Religion has always been a big money business. The JWs are no different.
Actually they are different in that they’d rather the members stay poor.
It’s by designed as they know if people are encouraged to go to uni and get good paying jobs, it’ll leave them little or no time to follow the GB.
They’ll rather have the members give free labor to build KHs etc which they can turn over for huge profits.
In my estimation the GB have a very good business model. What better way to get rich.
Religion is indeed a snare and a racket.
100% truth!!!
Excellent!
Thank you!
makes me feel good that I never donated anything when I was in. I was a cheap "bastard".😆😆😆
You were SMART!!!
How does this non-profit organization have so many ways to make a profit?
It's truly sickening

No doubt, two new Watchtower investment funds will be coming in 2025:
Drachma Asset Management and Shekel Services.

LOL!!! I love it!
_"Guided by a sound mind and _*_contentment with the necessities of life,_*_ an investor does well to keep financial concerns in their place."_ Awake 2000 10/8 p. 27 Is It Wise to Invest in the Stock Market?
Why can't Watchtower just be content with the necessities of life in the same way they tell JWs to be?
_"Investors should be aware that a financial planner or a stockbroker may be merely pitching his own services or manipulating his customer for profit."_ Awake 2000 10/8 p. 27
Written honestly, this paragraph would say,
"Jehovah's Witnesses should be aware that Watchtower and its investment companies may be merely pitching their own religious agenda or manipulating Jehovah's Witnesses for profit."
Fantastic references!! Hypocrites!!
The bible says that we must not become a burden on others, that if we do not work we can not eat, and if we do not look after our own we are worse than those with no faith. Yet Jesus says: sell your belongings, give it to the poor and follow me. By doing this I will become poor. be a burden on others and will not be able to look after my own or be able to eat. Really. What a contradiction! So now others will sell their belongings and give it to me who is now poor and needy! Are we all going to be poor and needy?
Yet another great quote from 'their book'.... they have reading comprehension issues, right? ;)
Like the Michael Jackson song" can you feel it" 😂
All time classic!!!
Such frauds!!
FRAUDS!!
Wr aint allowed to have any money but they have it all 😤

Good point, remember when they ripped all those televangelists??
Don’t forget about fanciful Fred Franz and alllllll his crazy predictions. 😂😂😂😂
That guy was one WEIRD dude!!!
And to think I got told off for doing an accounting course at TAFE - a kind of post high school trade school for people not in Australia. Sounds like I should’ve become a bonds and futures trader instead lol 😂. These guys are assholes.
So sorry....insane. They are truly scums. They stole things we can't get back....but they live in luxury!
UBS Bank shady past, part 2....
Tax evasion
edit
Main article: UBS tax evasion controversies
The strict banking secrecy policies and bank-client confidentiality agreements at UBS have frequently been used to avoid, evade or otherwise escape foreign direct taxation. UBS reached multilateral agreements with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and U.K. HM Revenue and Customs in 2009 and 2010, respectively.[245
No surprise....😢
BLACKROCK!!!! SATAN'S EMPIRE ON EARTH. WATCHTOWER IS INDELIBLY LINKED WITH BLACKROCK AND SATAN.
WHOA!!! thanks for posting this Elizabeth!!!
Great revealing of another false religion!
thank you!!!
So what? Watchtower is a business and is looking out for #1, like a business should. I am shocked it took it this long to realize the value of reducing fees to obtain money.
Truth. Oh, I'm sure there is much more we don't know!
❤
There are more players and I can tell you that the Assets under management in Ireland to reach 7 trillion dollar in 2025 !!!
Imagine as they pulled 1975 Part Deux how many people willed their homes to 'The Society™'. PLUS they're selling their properties so they HAVE a LOT to manage WORLDWIDE 😤
Whoa, would love to know more!

Excellent breakdown of “Jesus” business dealings. But i hope you weren’t questioning the governing body at all 🤔😅😂

👋Stacey's back, hurray!!!❤️👍

My father lived 78 years and 8 days . 6x6x6 + 18 divided by 3 ; Revelation 13:18 , 13 x 18 divided by 3 . 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36 ; 1+2+3 .... + 36 = 666 . 78 years x 8 days(Ezekiel 4:6) = 624 + 2520 days(seven times) = 3144 divided by 2 = 1572 + 1+5+7+2 = 1587 , The Lost Roanoke Colony . C-R-O-A-T-O-A-N = 87 (15 87) .
I think you have confused the Governing Body's vow ,it's not a 'vow of poverty', it's actually a "vow of property “🤭
LOL!!!! OH MAN.....this is brilliant!!!
Hi Stacey 👋, I'm so Sorry But I have to laugh at the Beginning story 😮😅 She gave up all, for Men that consider her as a Number. Her story isn't funny but what they are doing to people I bet they are Laughing. I said it before, these are men who had no Friends growing up and not they are taking there revenge out on the whole world and Umm, Well... They Are Laughing at them.
Isn't it awful???? She gave up ALL of her potential to hand out books!!!!! INSANE!!!!

Osea 4:6 Il mio popolo perisce per mancanza di conoscenza. Poiché tu hai sdegnata la conoscenza, anch' io sdegnerò d'averti per sacerdote; giacché tu hai dimenticata la legge del tuo Dio, anch' io dimenticherò i tuoi figliuoli.
In another of your videos that I just saw c. 3:50 AM of September 9 , 2024(Monday) you made a reference to the number 14700 found in Numbers 16:49 . Say 147 00 ; 147+00=147 , Israel lived 147 years . Say 14 700 ; 14+700=714 , Babe Ruth hit a total of 714 home runs in his major league career that ended in 1935 . Numbers 16:49 ; 16 49 + 1935 = 3584 divided by 2 = 1792 , start of the French Revolutionary Wars . 35 84 ; 35+84=119 , the number of days between me , April 14 , and my father , August 11 , birth-birth . 119 days is 17 weeks ; 119 x 17 = 2023 , October 7th , Promise Land '' incident ''. Say 147+714= 861 + 1000 year REIGN of CHRIST = 1861 , start of the American Civil War . Say 14700 divided by 5(1-4-7-0-0) = 2940 + 1290 days (Daniel 12:11) = 4230 divided by 2 = 2115 + 1775(start of the American Revolution)= 3890 divided by 2 = 1945 , Revelation 17:11 . 2115 + 1451(birth of Columbus) = 3566 divided by 2 = 1783 , end of the American Revolution . 2115 + 1869(birth of Joseph Rutherford) = 3984 divided by 2 = 1992 , death of Fred Franz . 1992 minus 216(6x6x6) = 1776 . 2115 + 1893(birth of Fred Franz) = 4008 divided by 2 = 2004 , end of the Curse of the Bambino which lasted 86 years , from 1918 ; Abram was 86 years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him , Genesis 16:16 . 86 years + 1923(the first time that the N.Y. Yankees won the world series) = 2009 , the 27th and last world series that the Yankees have won . 86 years x 27 world series titles = 2322 minus 365 days(one year) = 1957 , the Yankees lost the world series that year against the Braves , of Milwaukee at that time . If you add all the 27 years that the Yankees have won the world series and divide that number by 27 , you get 1957 point something ( 52840 divided by 27 = 1957 . 0370 ) . 1957 + 0370 = 2327 minus 365 = 1962 , my only sibling(a sister) was born in 1961 , I in 1963 . 2327 + 1335 days(Daniel 12:12) = 3662 divided by 2 = 1831 , birth of the 20th president , who '' died '' in 1881. 1831 + 1881 = 3712 divided by 2 = 1856 , birth of the 28th president , the WW I president . 20th x 28th = 560 + 48 = 608 + 2520 days(seven times) = 3128 divided by 2 = 1564 + 365(one time) = 1929 , birth of my father who died at 78 years and 8 days(circumcision on day eight) on August 19 , 2007 . 2007 divided by 3 = 6 6 9 . 6, first Adam ; 6, second Adam ; 9, LORD of Lords and KING of Kings , Revelation 17:11 and 14 .

@@yxzfilestrailrides8511 He/she is convinced that he can endoctrinate someone here... I would say that if he/she continues he/she will end up seeing the light. Also he/she has some sort of fascination with the false book of Daniel... and books added by the catholic church like Revelations 🤣. He/she also persists to mix the hebrew calendar with the gregorian 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆. Forgive him/her father for he/she is delusional and thinks he can spread it unto others 😂.
