[comments]

Is the IRS Form 990 showing the stock investments owned under their
“Henrietta M. Riley” Trust Fund listed in this packet? The
JW’s/Watchtower has in the past also had extensive profitable yields in
holding portfolios of companies manufacturing products or services that
a rank-and-file Jehovah’s Witness would be committing a
“Disfellowshipping” and “Shunning” Offense for. Companies such as
Phillip Morris (Tobacco/cigarettes-banned since 1973), Northrup-Gruman,
Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Monsanto (War Weaponry, destructive
chemicals – viewed as a compromise of neutrality and integrity)
Time-Warner Cable, Cinemax and Lionsgate Entertainment (Entertainment
featuring pornography, immorality, gratuitous violence and spiritism –
all disfellowshipping/shunning offenses) have been profitable
investments for the Watchtower Bible &Tract Society – all expelling
offenses for any JW involved in these activities or behaviorial conduct.

Watchtower Society. Do you get donations paid from stock investements
that fund weapons of mass destruction?

Watchtower Profits from Investments in Armament Companies

https://www.watchtowerlies.com/linked/watchtower_investments_in_armament_companies.pdf

"Indeed there's something to be surprised that an organization that
claims to represent God on earth can invest in companies that
manufacture weapons of mass destruction, as there may be a conflict of
interest."

James, you are a hypocrite. Your cult profited from death machines.

Watchtower also receives investment income donations from
Phillip-Morris via a trust, yet you can be shunned or excommunicated for
smoking.

The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society: $1.45 Billion in Assets

This is only one of many JW corporations valued at over a billion
dollars. The JW cult has a network of corporations, trusts, and funds
chock full of boodle.

Leah Remini and Mike Rinder interviewed Jehovah’s Witnesses on a very
powerful and anguishing episode of Scientology and the Aftermath. The
heartbreaking stories of shunning, sexual abuse, and suicide drove us
to tears. The courage of Leah’s guests in speaking out proved that they
cannot be silenced by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

Like the Church of Scientology, the Jehovah’s Witnesses practice the
emotional blackmail of shunning and demand that their members place the
organization above family and everything else in their lives. Having
grown up in the Pentecostal Church, we know what it feels like when the
church demands that one surrender all to God lest they face the pain of
everlasting Hell and Perdition.

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society listed the book value of its
assets as $1,451,217,000 on its 2015 IRS Form 990-T. This places the
Jehovah’s Witnesses into the same “billion dollar plus” cult status as
the Church of Scientology.

Good for them. It should keep the organization for the future to come.

Name the corporations if you can.

Shunning is in the Bible, told by the apostle Paul you desire again to
be in bondage?
10. You observe days and months and seasons and years.
11. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.

"remove the wicked man from among yourselves.

They have quite a program for sexual abuse.

Suicide is murder. The Bible condemns murder.

If she started telling everyone to worship the Devil, she would be
removed from the congregation.

Nonsence. They say to put God and Jesus above family and everything
else.

The Bible does not teach of a literal "hellfire".

If they had no money, how could they help the poor, or help those
after earthquakes or floods or fires etc.

Like I said before, Most big companies produce a variety of things,
not just one.

Yes, I am aware of you.

Well, anyway, enjoy the rest of Jehovah's day.

If you follow the track you are on here, how can you live in a country
that uses such weapons? Be you an Atheist or Christian?

I think you will find hypocrisy in many organizations, from Atheists
to Jehovah's Witnesses, to Baptists, and even the Catholic Church.
And, it seems that all of them are full of hate and greed.

They don't live in the past. Yes, they even used to smoke then. What
does that have to do with today? Unlike the churches, they have
cleaned themselves of all Babyloanish things as this Scripture says
those in the true religion will do:

(Proverbs 4:18) But the path of the righteous is like the bright
morning light That grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.

It's looking pretty bright outside right now.
