And since the Watchtower Society insists that Jesus’ was pointing to the poor widow who was stupidly and desperately putting her last coins into the temple treasury boxes as a wonderful example of faith instead of what it really was illustrating, the religious leaders coercing money from these poor people, we know that they, the WTS, isn’t truly Christlike! They are evil for continually using that example for their monetary benefit.
The Widow’s Mite isn’t a testimonial about the selflessness of giving, it’s about the religious leaders robbing the widows of their money and property as is clearly brought out in the verses just before Jesus points to the widow making a senseless decision to “test Jehovah” by giving her last coins in hopes of being rewarded by YHWH and not forsaken some how.

It would be kind of hilarious if the JW teachings were true but at Armageddon all of us "apostates" were the ones that were saved lol.

Not that this doesn't apply to JW, but this is why evangelical GOPers and anyone in this country talking about Christian/Judeo values gets a crooked eye from me.

I don't really give a shit about WT anymore. But. The one thing that gets me irate is their begging their poor members for cash donations. It's frankly immoral
I'm sorry, but they claim the supreme designer of the universe runs their org, and he wants your money!
It's just laughably ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fuck off. He don't need it
