Important: I said in this video that JW "accept money from the gambling authority" and that this authoroty also have money from OTHER sources then gambling. I did NOT say Watchtower have a direct stake in the national lottery because THEY DO NOT. My critisism is about WT double standard. This is personal to me because what happened to my father. He was publicly humiliated by Watchtower and had to step down as an elder because he worked at a Cristmas Market. The naming was not done by my father and he did not sell anything xmas related. But watchtower said the word "christmas" was all they needed to know. Well what about "gambling"? Why is it ok to throw all their prinsiples out the window when it comes to money for them? But other rules aplied to my father? Also from a christian perspective: Watchtower ask the JWs to pray for this matter of potentional persecution in Norway. How would this work? 8.000.000 JWs would tell almighty god what they wanted him to do... and none of them know the actual details of the matter. Would not that be wasting Jehovahs time with spam? Jehovah would know the facts about the matter, while 8.000.000 christians would tell him what to do based on Antony Morris missrepresentation. How would you react if you were god and got spam from Jehovah Witnesses 😀
As part of the governmental decree in withdrawing the jw registration have they also lost the authority to conduct weddings? It would be interesting to read the court documents submitted by the jw legal counsel as to what grounds they are challenging the government action. I know at this stage only an urgent injunction has been granted suspending any government action and this has yet to be argued in court. It may well be dismissed or it may proceed to an appeal. Interesting times.

Hi goatlike, I believe you about what elders did to your father. When I was JW, I was a complete believer. During an extremely difficult time in my life, I worked cashiering, and then fast food. I wasn't young and my feet were swollen. A JW friend, also in financial straits, took a job packing mistletoe, which was sold as a Christmas novelty. I asked her if the elders knew she had taken that job. I don't think she answered my question. She said she wasn't celebrating Christmas, but only putting mistletoe in boxes. The elders may not have bothered her about it. They may not have known about it. In other places, I think the elders would have gotten involved and pressured the JW to quit the job. She was supporting five daughters.

From this people ......Stay way. The inspired bible counseling is not talking to the gentiles... Rather is talking to the Cristians... So this verses apply directly to WT.. Aren't they who proclaimed to be the True Cristians?? So applys them very well. Notice: Verse 5 doesn't say: hate them. Only said stay away from them.

No, Uncle Tony. No one is challenging your freedom to worship. What Satan's Government is making sure is that you do not act in a criminal way and get away with it. Because, you see, it takes Satan's Governments for the Watchtower to do what's right.

Excellent coverage, yet again Jonas. I really appreciate your insightful technique of holding the mirror up to them, reflecting their hypocrisy back at them.
You are a Pharisee and a thorn in their conscience!!!!! Keep it up , you are a hero! I have all the paperwork from the companies they are financially involved with! But any one that comes mistakenly to my door generally does not return !hihihi, ya got to laf Jona!!!!!!
When I was a JW, I once bet 25 cents on a baseball game. A JW co-worker gave me a big lecture. I was in the process of waking up and simply ignored him.
Anthony Morris has since been removed from the Governing Body. Also had to read Hugh Urban’s book on Scientology for a university module and found a striking resemblance between how Scientology and Watchtower are run.
@@GoatlikePersonality Any way, I did tell my wife and as you did say, somehow she also tied to make excuses, but in the end more mental discrepancies should come up “cognitive dissonance”. Let's hope she or others relays it sooner or later.
Jonas. You are an absolute genius 👏!!!! Thank you 😊 for everything that you are doing. Your reward will be great. Watchtower will pay for everything that they have done. Very soon. Hope everything is going well with your wife's pregnancy. You will be a great father.!!!! I think you should set up a go fund me or something so we can gift to the new arrival.
I love your comparison in the description of the "Winter Market" and this topic of accepting money from gambling sources and having association by name. It seems the organization is able to do things that the individual JW is not, very hypocritical of them .
Its probably a crime were you live to. Its neglect, psykological terror and emotional violence. Are you allowed to organise this against a grown up? No. So obviously its a crime against children aswell.
This is excellent. The Prophetic book of Daniel chapter 11:35 States : there will be a refinament before the end times. A refinament means a separation between true Cristians and false Cristians. Crist is the Appointed judge for mankind including the GB. And Crist is doing a great job by exposing All this corroption. Thank you Crist you already started to clean Almighty GOD,s Holy Name.
@@GoatlikePersonality What Is the Love of Money? Who has it? Why is it dangerous? UNDER the present economic system how long could you live in your home without money? How would you be able to feed and clothe yourself and your family without it? Money is necessary for practically everything you need and do. In this world it is essential for daily living. But this very usefulness of money can have a damaging effect upon you. When your pursuit of money for providing the necessities and comforts of life changes into a consuming desire to be rich, money ceases to be your servant and becomes your master, your god. It becomes the thing for which you live. Like a degenerative cancer, greed for money eats away Christian qualities, plunging you to a bestial level where your only code becomes self-interest. It can cause you to lose sight of justice, truth, honesty, generosity and mercy. Because of money’s usefulness extreme love for it can develop. Against this wrong attitude the apostle Paul gave warning a long time ago. Writing from Macedonia, Paul told Timothy, who was in the city of Ephesus, a big commercial center of that time: “Those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.”-1 Tim. 6:9, 10. It was not money itself of which Paul gave warning. He did not say money itself was the root of injurious things or the cause of hurtful desires and destruction. What he warned against was the greedy love of money, the avaricious desire to be rich. The same warning had been given long before his day and is recorded in the book of Proverbs: “Do not toil to gain riches.” (Prov. 23:4) This toiling for riches has caused no end of misery, unhappiness and bloodshed. Paul’s warning was especially appropriate for the Christians in the commercially prosperous city of Ephesus as well as Christians living in other prosperous cities, such as Laodicea, which was only forty miles east of Ephesus. Places such as these where there were big money transactions and lots of trade could be a materialistic quagmire for unwary Christians. Apparently the Christians in Laodicea failed to keep Paul’s warning in mind. By the time John wrote the book of Revelation, a little more than thirty years later, the Laodicean Christians had succumbed to the love of money. Because of it they had lost their spiritual beauty and spiritual riches. Addressing them, Revelation 3:17 says: “You say: ‘I am rich and have acquired riches and do not need anything at all,’ but you do not know you are miserable and pitiable and poor and blind and naked.” They were spiritually poor and falling into spiritual ruin because they were placing a higher value on material wealth than on spiritual riches. Their attitude toward money had become bad. POVERTY NOT REQUIRED In some non-Christian religions it is thought that religious merit is achieved by seeking a life of poverty. Forsaking all material goods, Buddhist monks, for example, spend their lives in monastic contemplation. Their possessions consist of very little more than a garment, a begging bowl, a needle, a string of 108 beads used as a rosary, a razor and a filter to strain insects from their drinking water. A life of poverty is not required of Christians in order for them to receive the approval of the true God. He never instructed his worshipers to practice asceticism. A Christian is free to earn money and to buy necessities, even comforts and luxuries, with that money. He is not forbidden to purchase the material things he can afford. If a man with above-average business ability has succeeded in achieving a substantial financial income without succumbing to the dangerous desire to be rich, it would be a mistake to accuse him of being a lover of money. What indicates whether a person is a lover of money or not is not the amount of money he has or the number of possessions he has or the quality of his possessions. It is, instead, his attitude toward such things. WRONG ATTITUDE TOWARD MONEY A person can be poor and still be a lover of money because of his greedy desire to be rich and to have things he does not now possess. A person of average means in another country may seem to be rich in the poor man’s eyes, and yet that person may not have the wrong attitude of the poor man. Lovers of money, whether poor or rich, are condemned by the Scriptures because of their wrong attitude. At Jeremiah 9:23 it is written: “Let not the wise man brag about himself because of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man brag about himself because of his mightiness. Let not the rich man brag about himself because of his riches.” Jehovah does not say here that a man should not be wise, mighty or rich, but that a man should avoid the wrong attitude toward these things by bragging about them. The Laodicean Christians of the first century made the mistake of trusting in their riches and thus developed a wrong attitude toward them. They were like the able-bodied man mentioned at Psalm 52:7 “that does not put God as his fortress, but that trusts in the abundance of his riches.” The folly of trusting in perishable riches is repeatedly stressed in the Scriptures. By greedily reaching out for riches some dedicated servants of God have been, as Paul said, “led astray from the faith.” (1 Tim. 6:10) They have failed to maintain their Christian innocence and have been swept into the world’s law-defying course. “A man of faithful acts will get many blessings, but he that is hastening to gain riches will not remain innocent.” (Prov. 28:20) The man of faithful acts is the man who is hastening to serve Jehovah and whose toiling is chiefly for spiritual treasures. Storing up spiritual treasures is far more rewarding now and in the future than hungrily seeking to store up material riches as your source of security. Jesus emphasized this when he said: “Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”-Matt. 6:19, 20. Jesus was not condemning the practice of thrift. What he was telling his followers was that they should not store up in a miserly fashion material riches and put their trust in them. Not earthly treasures but heavenly treasures, such as the approval of God, bring eternal benefits. Death tears the money lover from his money, leaving it for someone else to use. It cannot save him. “So it goes with the man that lays up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”-Luke 12:21. RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD MONEY While this present system of things remains, money can be used by Christians as a useful instrument to supply their needs, to bring them some of the comforts of modern times and to further the ministry. Because of the many things it can bring them they must exercise self-control, always keeping money in its place as an instrument and not as an object of love. The apostle Paul stressed the right attitude toward riches in his letter to Timothy. After warning against the love of money he acknowledged that some Christians were rich in material goods, but, instead of condemning them and instructing them to get rid of their riches and live a life of poverty, he urged them to maintain the right attitude toward them. “Give orders to those who are rich in the present system of things not to be high-minded, and to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment; to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share, safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, in order that they may get a firm hold on the real life.” (1 Tim. 6:17-19) Christians who maintain this right attitude, although they may be materially rich, are not lovers of money. Their trust is in God, not in their riches. If they had to choose between the two, they would gladly give up their possessions and choose the service of God. No amount of money can compare with the treasure of serving Jehovah with your complete attention, as did the apostle Paul. He had no financial obligations that required him to maintain regular employment in tentmaking; so he spent all his time in the ministry. Like him there are Christians today who devote all their time to the ministry as pioneers or special overseers in the New World society. Having the right attitude toward money, they consider the spiritual blessings they have of far greater value than the material possessions they could have if they were spending most of their time in secular business. Whether a person has a substantial income, a moderate income or practically no income, the rule that must govern his attitude is that set down by Jesus Christ: “Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness.” (Matt. 6:33) With the right attitude, a Christian can use money as an instrument and never succumb to the degenerating love of money that leads to spiritual ruin.
So Jonas I did some research about your home country. Evidently you only need 50 active members to be considered a religion. Your channel has 10,000. And you're also not violating human rights... sounds like the JW money would be better spent on your farm if you ask me 🤷
Keep on I like your presentations, they come around a bit crazy but just as much that it gets one more interested. I am Austrian, and your accent also makes it a bit funny. Anyway, I like to see different people. Wisch, I would get around to something like you do.
@GoatlikePersonality do you know what the funding application was like? Did each KH have to apply individually? Was it done at Branch level? Would Elders in each KH have been informed when the funding was allocated? Is each KH a distinct legal entity in Norway?
Yes, yes, no and yesish. Its a refund of vat. But the JWs must be in association with the gambling authoroty. This is the basis of my religious critique.
I said to my active witness husband… When it comes to tax time and any money that is made under the table.. he wants to claim because it bothers his conscience.. “ pay back Caesar’s… and Gods blah blah blah.” Why then does WT not want to set the example and pay taxes. Was there anything that was excluded in that stupid scripture? Of course he gets defensive.🤣
Thanx. In case you mention it on your channel, please remember that I never said that watchtower had a direct stake to gambling. I said they accept "money from" the gambling authority and that this authoroty also have money from other sources. Watchtower ask for a VAT refund, and have to do this thru the Gambling Authoroty. This video was a video about the hypocrasy. Like my father was publicly humiliated and had to step down as an elder because he worked at a Cristmas Market. My father did not get to name the market, and if might aswell be called a winter marked. But watchtower said the word "christmas" was all they needed to know. Well what about "gambling"? Why is it ok to throw all their prinsiples out the window when it comes to money. Also from a christian perspective: Watchtower ask the JWs to pray for this matter. How would this work? 8.000.000 JWs would tell almighty god what they wanted him to do... and none of them know the actual details of the matter. Would not that be wasting Jehovahs time with spam?
@@GoatlikePersonality Yes I understud what is the point in this case JW organisation have no problem to take money from Satan world. (Sorry about my bad English I can better speak then whrite)😁
While i don't subscribe myself as a believer in the Bible, I will list 3 scriptures that would make one think twice before shunning a child. IN GENERAL, this is what Jehovah repeatedly had to say about children and reaching maturity to make adult decisions: Numbers 14:29: "...in the wilderness your corpses will fall, yes, the whole number of you from 20 years old and up who were registered..." Deuteronomy 1:39: "Moreover, your children {...} and your sons WHO TODAY DO NOT KNOW GOOD AND BAD, these will enter, and I will give it to them to possess it. (So children under the age of 20 at that time were seen as unaccountable to anyone because they did not yet know the difference between right and wrong, and so were excluded from the death sentence upon the 1st sinful Israelite generation.) Heb 5: 13-14 : "For everyone that partakes of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong." (That last verse implies that such understanding of right and wrong comes with training. There is a time in all of our lives before we understand right and wrong; when we feed on "milk." Most people generally agree that before age 18 you're incapable of making serious life choices. Jehovah set the age of accountability at around age 20. But we don't need the Bible at all to understand this. Anyone over the age of 30 ought to know that they didn't yet know themselves before their twenties.) {but knowing watchtower, they'll say whatever to strategically set up for themselves a long line of accountable young ones who will feel that they have no choice but to dedicate themselves to this religion. It's their biggest ace in the hole.)
I would believe you a 100% with absolutely no problem if you told me Watchtower accepted money from an organisation that makes money from gambling because I know how exceptionally hypocritical they are .
I don't gamble anymore that's why I left the Jehovah's witnesses 😂😂😂😂 I never sit down with gamblers I'm only standing up 🤣🤣🤣 hey goat like thanks for the video 👍😂
Nice info ❣I bet the usa says that Norway had its own JW that flaked off the headquarters and are not associated with USA any longer... shun, shun, shunned
Jonas, I did the math and I want to confirm something. I added up the amounts to each individual congregation, and the total is $3,189,309. Plus the amount to bethel headquarters of $996,540. Together the total is $4,185,849. Is that how much they received total in one year?!?! If so that makes the other funding of 1.6 million look like chump change!
Please remember that norwegians use Norwegian Krona and not US Dollars. Your calculations will be off when you use the wrong currency. Sorry for not saying "norwegian krone" in the video but I thought it was understood. And the amount really was not the point. The point of the video was the hypocrasy
@@GoatlikePersonality Ah yes, you are right. Thank you. I thought the conversion was much closer to 1/1 but it is more like 10/1. That puts the amount at about $423,000 USD. Still a pretty penny.

Great video. I always enjoy your approach and candeaur
WT double standards exposed. Rules just apply to the rank and file to keep them controlled and blind. THANKS Jonas!
That is sickening.

Watchtower Bible and Tract is getting money as well 😂
No, Uncle Tony. No one is challenging your freedom to worship. What Satan's Government is making sure is that you do not act in a criminal way and get away with it. Because, you see, it takes Satan's Governments for the Watchtower to do what's right.

Excellent coverage, yet again Jonas.
I really appreciate your insightful technique of holding the mirror up to them, reflecting their hypocrisy back at them.
No matter what Bible says, forget about Jehovah follow the greater God = MONEY.

Great info as always 👍
Anthony Morris has since been removed from the Governing Body. Also had to read Hugh Urban’s book on Scientology for a university module and found a striking resemblance between how Scientology and Watchtower are run.
Yes, very well done! Hope some JWs will listen to this!
They will make up excuses for why they are just doing the same as everyone else. But excuses are common, JW claim to be exceptional
@@GoatlikePersonality Any way, I did tell my wife and as you did say, somehow she also tied to make excuses, but in the end more mental discrepancies should come up “cognitive dissonance”. Let's hope she or others relays it sooner or later.
they'll put their fingers in their ears and go La La La.
Jonas. You are an absolute genius 👏!!!! Thank you 😊 for everything that you are doing. Your reward will be great. Watchtower will pay for everything that they have done. Very soon. Hope everything is going well with your wife's pregnancy. You will be a great father.!!!! I think you should set up a go fund me or something so we can gift to the new arrival.

@@GoatlikePersonality So so sorry 😞. Please let your wife know that we are so sorry, for your loss.
I love your comparison in the description of the "Winter Market" and this topic of accepting money from gambling sources and having association by name. It seems the organization is able to do things that the individual JW is not, very hypocritical of them
.
When I was younger, I was rolls not to eat candy from a birthday party. Then accepting this money is eating that candy.
"it is a crime to shun a child in Norway"

What Is the Love of Money?
Who has it? Why is it dangerous?
UNDER the present economic system how long could you live in your home without money? How would you be able to feed and clothe yourself and your family without it? Money is necessary for practically everything you need and do. In this world it is essential for daily living. But this very usefulness of money can have a damaging effect upon you.
When your pursuit of money for providing the necessities and comforts of life changes into a consuming desire to be rich, money ceases to be your servant and becomes your master, your god. It becomes the thing for which you live. Like a degenerative cancer, greed for money eats away Christian qualities, plunging you to a bestial level where your only code becomes self-interest. It can cause you to lose sight of justice, truth, honesty, generosity and mercy. Because of money’s usefulness extreme love for it can develop. Against this wrong attitude the apostle Paul gave warning a long time ago. Writing from Macedonia, Paul told Timothy, who was in the city of Ephesus, a big commercial center of that time: “Those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.”-1 Tim. 6:9, 10.
It was not money itself of which Paul gave warning. He did not say money itself was the root of injurious things or the cause of hurtful desires and destruction. What he warned against was the greedy love of money, the avaricious desire to be rich. The same warning had been given long before his day and is recorded in the book of Proverbs: “Do not toil to gain riches.” (Prov. 23:4) This toiling for riches has caused no end of misery, unhappiness and bloodshed. Paul’s warning was especially appropriate for the Christians in the commercially prosperous city of Ephesus as well as Christians living in other prosperous cities, such as Laodicea, which was only forty miles east of Ephesus. Places such as these where there were big money transactions and lots of trade could be a materialistic quagmire for unwary Christians.
Apparently the Christians in Laodicea failed to keep Paul’s warning in mind. By the time John wrote the book of Revelation, a little more than thirty years later, the Laodicean Christians had succumbed to the love of money. Because of it they had lost their spiritual beauty and spiritual riches. Addressing them, Revelation 3:17 says: “You say: ‘I am rich and have acquired riches and do not need anything at all,’ but you do not know you are miserable and pitiable and poor and blind and naked.” They were spiritually poor and falling into spiritual ruin because they were placing a higher value on material wealth than on spiritual riches. Their attitude toward money had become bad.
POVERTY NOT REQUIRED
In some non-Christian religions it is thought that religious merit is achieved by seeking a life of poverty. Forsaking all material goods, Buddhist monks, for example, spend their lives in monastic contemplation. Their possessions consist of very little more than a garment, a begging bowl, a needle, a string of 108 beads used as a rosary, a razor and a filter to strain insects from their drinking water.
A life of poverty is not required of Christians in order for them to receive the approval of the true God. He never instructed his worshipers to practice asceticism. A Christian is free to earn money and to buy necessities, even comforts and luxuries, with that money. He is not forbidden to purchase the material things he can afford.
If a man with above-average business ability has succeeded in achieving a substantial financial income without succumbing to the dangerous desire to be rich, it would be a mistake to accuse him of being a lover of money. What indicates whether a person is a lover of money or not is not the amount of money he has or the number of possessions he has or the quality of his possessions. It is, instead, his attitude toward such things.
WRONG ATTITUDE TOWARD MONEY
A person can be poor and still be a lover of money because of his greedy desire to be rich and to have things he does not now possess. A person of average means in another country may seem to be rich in the poor man’s eyes, and yet that person may not have the wrong attitude of the poor man. Lovers of money, whether poor or rich, are condemned by the Scriptures because of their wrong attitude.
At Jeremiah 9:23 it is written: “Let not the wise man brag about himself because of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man brag about himself because of his mightiness. Let not the rich man brag about himself because of his riches.” Jehovah does not say here that a man should not be wise, mighty or rich, but that a man should avoid the wrong attitude toward these things by bragging about them.
The Laodicean Christians of the first century made the mistake of trusting in their riches and thus developed a wrong attitude toward them. They were like the able-bodied man mentioned at Psalm 52:7 “that does not put God as his fortress, but that trusts in the abundance of his riches.”
The folly of trusting in perishable riches is repeatedly stressed in the Scriptures. By greedily reaching out for riches some dedicated servants of God have been, as Paul said, “led astray from the faith.” (1 Tim. 6:10) They have failed to maintain their Christian innocence and have been swept into the world’s law-defying course. “A man of faithful acts will get many blessings, but he that is hastening to gain riches will not remain innocent.” (Prov. 28:20) The man of faithful acts is the man who is hastening to serve Jehovah and whose toiling is chiefly for spiritual treasures.
Storing up spiritual treasures is far more rewarding now and in the future than hungrily seeking to store up material riches as your source of security. Jesus emphasized this when he said: “Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”-Matt. 6:19, 20.
Jesus was not condemning the practice of thrift. What he was telling his followers was that they should not store up in a miserly fashion material riches and put their trust in them. Not earthly treasures but heavenly treasures, such as the approval of God, bring eternal benefits. Death tears the money lover from his money, leaving it for someone else to use. It cannot save him. “So it goes with the man that lays up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”-Luke 12:21.
RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD MONEY
While this present system of things remains, money can be used by Christians as a useful instrument to supply their needs, to bring them some of the comforts of modern times and to further the ministry. Because of the many things it can bring them they must exercise self-control, always keeping money in its place as an instrument and not as an object of love.
The apostle Paul stressed the right attitude toward riches in his letter to Timothy. After warning against the love of money he acknowledged that some Christians were rich in material goods, but, instead of condemning them and instructing them to get rid of their riches and live a life of poverty, he urged them to maintain the right attitude toward them. “Give orders to those who are rich in the present system of things not to be high-minded, and to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment; to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share, safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, in order that they may get a firm hold on the real life.” (1 Tim. 6:17-19) Christians who maintain this right attitude, although they may be materially rich, are not lovers of money. Their trust is in God, not in their riches. If they had to choose between the two, they would gladly give up their possessions and choose the service of God.
No amount of money can compare with the treasure of serving Jehovah with your complete attention, as did the apostle Paul. He had no financial obligations that required him to maintain regular employment in tentmaking; so he spent all his time in the ministry. Like him there are Christians today who devote all their time to the ministry as pioneers or special overseers in the New World society. Having the right attitude toward money, they consider the spiritual blessings they have of far greater value than the material possessions they could have if they were spending most of their time in secular business.
Whether a person has a substantial income, a moderate income or practically no income, the rule that must govern his attitude is that set down by Jesus Christ: “Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness.” (Matt. 6:33) With the right attitude, a Christian can use money as an instrument and never succumb to the degenerating love of money that leads to spiritual ruin.
So Jonas I did some research about your home country. Evidently you only need 50 active members to be considered a religion. Your channel has 10,000. And you're also not violating human rights... sounds like the JW money would be better spent on your farm if you ask me 🤷
I do have my own religion. Its called the norwegian goat cult. Google it

Great video, clear and concise, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@GoatlikePersonality do you know what the funding application was like? Did each KH have to apply individually? Was it done at Branch level? Would Elders in each KH have been informed when the funding was allocated? Is each KH a distinct legal entity in Norway?
Yes, yes, no and yesish. Its a refund of vat. But the JWs must be in association with the gambling authoroty. This is the basis of my religious critique.
@@GoatlikePersonality It's a superb critique.
Nice job!
I said to my active witness husband…
When it comes to tax time and any money that is made under the table.. he wants to claim because it bothers his conscience.. “ pay back Caesar’s… and Gods blah blah blah.” Why then does WT not want to set the example and pay taxes. Was there anything that was excluded in that stupid scripture? Of course he gets defensive.🤣
Great work Jonas allready shared with my audience :)
Thanx. In case you mention it on your channel, please remember that I never said that watchtower had a direct stake to gambling. I said they accept "money from" the gambling authority and that this authoroty also have money from other sources. Watchtower ask for a VAT refund, and have to do this thru the Gambling Authoroty. This video was a video about the hypocrasy. Like my father was publicly humiliated and had to step down as an elder because he worked at a Cristmas Market. My father did not get to name the market, and if might aswell be called a winter marked. But watchtower said the word "christmas" was all they needed to know. Well what about "gambling"? Why is it ok to throw all their prinsiples out the window when it comes to money.
Also from a christian perspective:
Watchtower ask the JWs to pray for this matter. How would this work? 8.000.000 JWs would tell almighty god what they wanted him to do... and none of them know the actual details of the matter. Would not that be wasting Jehovahs time with spam?
@@GoatlikePersonality Yes I understud what is the point in this case JW organisation have no problem to take money from Satan world. (Sorry about my bad English I can better speak then whrite)😁
While i don't subscribe myself as a believer in the Bible, I will list 3 scriptures that would make one think twice before shunning a child.
IN GENERAL, this is what Jehovah repeatedly had to say about children and reaching maturity to make adult decisions:
Numbers 14:29: "...in the wilderness your corpses will fall, yes, the whole number of you from 20 years old and up who were registered..."
Deuteronomy 1:39: "Moreover, your children {...} and your sons WHO TODAY DO NOT KNOW GOOD AND BAD, these will enter, and I will give it to them to possess it.
(So children under the age of 20 at that time were seen as unaccountable to anyone because they did not yet know the difference between right and wrong, and so were excluded from the death sentence upon the 1st sinful Israelite generation.)
Heb 5: 13-14 : "For everyone that partakes of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong."
(That last verse implies that such understanding of right and wrong comes with training. There is a time in all of our lives before we understand right and wrong; when we feed on "milk." Most people generally agree that before age 18 you're incapable of making serious life choices. Jehovah set the age of accountability at around age 20. But we don't need the Bible at all to understand this. Anyone over the age of 30 ought to know that they didn't yet know themselves before their twenties.)
{but knowing watchtower, they'll say whatever to strategically set up for themselves a long line of accountable young ones who will feel that they have no choice but to dedicate themselves to this religion. It's their biggest ace in the hole.)
Excellent points
That nwt is written wrong. It's a shame the gb doesn't care what it really says.😪
great video! we'll get you the numbers from Canada!!

I would believe you a 100% with absolutely no problem if you told me Watchtower accepted money from an organisation that makes money from gambling because I know how exceptionally hypocritical they are .
I have a question if watchtower is involved in Norway gambling are they involved in USA gambling commissions? Would be interested in knowing?
Its money from the norwegian gambling Authority. Not directly from gambling

He was swallowed by a big fish
Brilliant
Nice info ❣I bet the usa says that Norway had its own JW that flaked off the headquarters and are not associated with USA any longer... shun, shun, shunned
Jonas, I did the math and I want to confirm something. I added up the amounts to each individual congregation, and the total is $3,189,309. Plus the amount to bethel headquarters of $996,540. Together the total is $4,185,849. Is that how much they received total in one year?!?! If so that makes the other funding of 1.6 million look like chump change!
Please remember that norwegians use Norwegian Krona and not US Dollars. Your calculations will be off when you use the wrong currency. Sorry for not saying "norwegian krone" in the video but I thought it was understood. And the amount really was not the point. The point of the video was the hypocrasy
@@GoatlikePersonality Ah yes, you are right. Thank you. I thought the conversion was much closer to 1/1 but it is more like 10/1. That puts the amount at about $423,000 USD. Still a pretty penny.
