The Business Empire Of The Jehovah Witness Organization by Yooguyz: 5:54pm On Aug 31, 2013 |
Though condemning the world's commercial system as part of Satan's system, the Watchtower Society has not held back from utilising it to the fullest, in the process becoming a multi-billion dollar organization. By the year 2000, the Watchtower Society owned hundreds of millions of dollars of real-estate in Brooklyn alone. By claiming religious or charity status, the money earned over the last century has generally been tax free. The Watchtower Society has used stocks, bonds and trusts as investment vehicles. One such trust was the H M Riley Trust, from the deceased estate of Henrietta Riley. This trust traded in shares in companies such as Exxon Mobil, Coca Cola, Proctor & Gamble and Phillip Morris, one of the world's largest cigarette manufacturer. Conclusion Due to their political nature, Witness school children endure embarrassment and humiliation having to stand outside the class or sit whilst other students stand during remembrance days, anthems and flag salutes. At the same time the leaders are actively involved in influencing and lobbying the political systems. The Watchtower Society holds associated NGO status with political organisations and sends representatives to political enquiries. If the Watchtower Society can send attendees to influence government on matters of religious tolerance why are individual Witnesses forbidden from voting or holding political cards, at the risk of torture and death? This is yet another area where illogical Watchtower doctrine has created unnecessary suffering for members, and shown the hypocrisy of the leadership. Political neutrality is at odds with the long-term prosperity of the Watchtower organisation and will no doubt be another area in which the rules loosen over coming decades.

Bunch of hypocrites. They may seem like christians but are not just a strong religious cult like ogboni, Freemason and every other big cult difference is that their cult practises are based on a deep literary understanding of the bible. |
