      @ Your welcome. The comment I posted that was removed due to rule 3 is core to the WT business and gives you much in the way of particular content creation. WT is not charitable and is losing charity registration support in numerous countries. Norway, Czech Republic, Spain, etc. All the best Ericka. 🙂

    Good points. Also if the end is so near why is the organization spending so much money on construction ( new headquarters , new studio etc ..) . Shouldn't they be downsizing ?

    Thank you so much for this video! I agreed so much with you on everything you said! I live in Canada and I just subscribed to your channel now. It's is so funny how the organization tells us to not go to university and reach out for a better career and to keep our lives simple, but they don't follow their own advice. They just want and want more funds so that they can keep their real estate porfolio strong and growing. Even in my city they had a beautiful KH building already, but they had to sell it and build an entirely new KH. This organization is a publishing and real estate company disguised as a religion. Which they don't show love to anyone anyway. If they want to show love to people, why don't they provide social relief in the society and also help their own members with jobs and money. With the money they have, why doesn't the organization provide money for all it's members instead of telling poor members to pray and rely on God only. They want to live in luxury while a lot of their members and members in the communities are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Wonderful video, thank you!

      Thank you so much for subscribing and for sharing your thoughts! 🙏 I completely agree with your points-it's so frustrating to see the organization's double standards. They preach simplicity and self-sacrifice but seem to prioritize their real estate empire over genuinely helping their members. It's heartbreaking to think of all the struggling families who are told to "pray harder" while funding this wealthy corporation.
      Your story about the Kingdom Hall in your city is such a clear example of their true priorities. And you're so right-if they really wanted to show love, they could provide meaningful social relief or support their members financially. But instead, it’s always the members who are expected to give and sacrifice.
      Thank you again for your kind words and for being part of this conversation! 💛 Sending love all the way to Canada! 🌟

    As a longtime former member I now realize there are only two things they are really concerned about. Their wealth and their reputation. They truly are a huge property conglomerate masquerading as a false religion and many are learning this to be true and and leaving. The little man behind the curtain has been revealed! 😊

    I also should’ve realized while indoctrinated as JW was, the phrase they been using: “You will be young, beautiful, healthy, happy at paradise, but that is IF you be our members and donate.” This phrase is always heard in TV shoppings too😅”If you buy this item (especially supplements or cosmetics) you can be beautiful, young, and happy. Better to be a member so you can continually use it with good price”😅Cults are actually MARKETING!

    When a church wants your money they ask you... when you ask for money the church says ask God. From young Robert in Australia.

      Haha, young Robert, you nailed it! 😅 That’s exactly the irony so many of us see. The church is quick to ask for funds, but when members are in need, they’re told to rely on God instead. Thank you for sharing this sharp observation all the way from Australia! Sending good vibes your way! 🌏💛

      Good question! Unfortunately, many volunteers aren’t covered for injuries, as they’re considered ‘unpaid workers.’ It’s one of the many ways the organization benefits without taking responsibility. It’s really concerning, isn’t it?

    Mom and dad had a farm and so dad passed away first. Then eventually mom did in two thousand two, and we're all witnesses and about a month after my mom passed away, three elders came to my brother's house, wanting to have a meeting with him and me to discuss what was going to happen to the farm. We told them it was going to go up for auction, and they were wondering how much money they were going to get from that farm. Well, we told them nothing we were softly shunned. And all of our privileges were taken away

    • @ErikaMesi
      @ErikaMesi  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m so sorry you had to go through that, especially during such a difficult time after losing both your parents. The audacity of those elders to focus on the farm and what they could get out of it, instead of offering comfort and support, is truly upsetting. It’s heartbreaking how quick they are to punish and shun when money isn’t involved.
      Thank you for sharing your experience-it highlights how materialistic and unloving the organization can be. Wishing you and your family strength and healing after everything you’ve endured. 💛
