Spanish Branch Overseer Demoted Because He Lost His Case In Court

The brother who over many decades had been the top-dog at the Spainish Branch of the Watchtower, Antonio "Toti" Rodriguez was demoted as the head of the Legal Dept. and has been assigned a desk in the "Service Dept." at Ajalvir, (Spanish Bethel).
Word has it that the recent ruling in the Spanish courts against the Society over Social Security contributions and pensions for Bethel workers was the reason. It's going to cost the Watchtower Society millions, but I'm sure they'll pass the cost down to the publishers.
The letter from from Watchtower Headquarters to the Spanish congregations makes it seems like it was their idea to give the brothers Social Security and pensions. They praised themelves in the letter saying what a loving arrangement to provide for those who've worked so long in furthering Kingdom interests. What a loving arrangement indeed, when you need the Courts to force your hand!
Poor "Toti". He tried really hard to keep the Spanish government from collecting Social Security and pensions for people employed at Bethel.

The Awake! had this to say: (g80 1/22 pp. 13-15) The End of Today’s Economic Systems

The possibility of today’s economic systems crashing has been a more frequent topic of discussion among economists lately.

The American Institute for Economic Research makes the following observations:
“During the next several years, the following economic developments seem highly probable:
“A severe and prolonged worldwide depression. . . .
“During a prolonged depression, social disorder might well become extreme. . . .Any person or family who appears to be substantially better off than those who are most adversely affected may become the target for mob violence.”

“Into the streets they will throw their very silver, and an abhorrent thing their own gold will become”
Concerning what lies ahead for the entire world, the Bible speaks of a “great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.” During that time, paper money will be worthless. Why, Bible prophecy even says: “Into the streets they will throw their very silver, and an abhorrent thing their own gold will become. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah’s fury.”—Ezek. 7:19.

No human leader, nor any form of human government, will be able to forestall the coming “great tribulation,” since it is God’s judgment against this present wicked system. That is why his Word warns: “Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs.” (Ps. 146:3) What, then, is the right course to take? The Bible answers: “Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding.”—Prov. 3:5.

In addition, such ones will have the assurance of God’s protection during the coming crash, and of surviving into a righteous new system. (1 John 2:15-17; Ps. 37:27, 34, 37)

“Raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near”
So, regardless of how severe the money squeeze becomes, there is the sure hope of the best of times directly ahead in God’s new order. —Luke 21:28.

The authorities sent an inspection to Bethel and sey up a decision that social security should be paid for the last 5 years...lost of million for them.

The decision was published in the goverment publications in 2007.

TJ, please give us the opportunity to read that letter by posting a copy of it here or providing a link to where we might read it.

If the Organization has in fact lovingly provided for the Bethelites of Spain with Social Security, then we can expect that EVERY BETHELITE in EVERY COUNTRY should be covered by some form of Social Security.

If it turns out that it is ONLY the brothers at Spain’s Bethel who are covered by Social Security, then I shall believe your assertion that the GB has taken credit for what was not due.

I’d appreciate your using your contacts to check with Bethelites in other countries who’s governments offer retirement benefits (like the USA; UK, Canada, Australia and Germany) to find out if THEY are now covered by some form of Social Security. The answer will be a deciding factor in this discussion.

Thanks.

BTW, IMHO, this is a much more important topic than the reason for "Toti's" apparent reassignment.

At the risk of being presumptuous, I'd wager that these people are so fascinated by this blog because of their own crises of conscience.

Or, is this another quote from one of your worldly movies, like the quotes you took from the Rocky movie. LOL

Ronde, you are some sort of hybrid JW. Most likely reproved or DF'd and trying to take on all exJW's as your calling from Jehovah to set things straight with Him?

Whatever the case, you need to assess what you are trying to accomplish here. The reason I say that is because I don't see you accomplishing anything accept making a fool of youself and by extension, all JW's.

It is par for the course. A similar story is behind the institution of the 'donation arrangement'. Give the followers one story of a ‘loving simplified arrangement’, while the Organization behind Jehovah’s Witnesses was forced to do so.

In a February 21, 1990 letter to congregations, the Society explained the new policy this way…

“By adopting the distribution of literature based completely on donation, Jehovah's people are able to greatly simplify our Bible education work and separate ourselves from those who commercialize religion.”

However, here is the breakdown of events from what really transpired:

-Early in 1980 State of California informs Jimmy Swaggart Ministries that tax is due for religious books and tapes sold in the state since 1974. Swaggart does eventually pay the tax--$183,000.00--but sues for a refund. This is the beginnings of the case’s movement toward the U.S. Supreme Court.

-In February, 1989 the U.S. Supreme Court rules it is illegal for Texas (along with 14 other states) to exempt religious books from sales tax. Interestingly, some states had been taxing religious books all along.

-During the summer of 1989, the Organization behind Jehovah’s Witnesses distributes "free" books released at conventions throughout the United States. Jehovah’s Witnesses are instructed to place donations in contribution boxes to cover the cost of the publication.

-On June 22, 1989 the Organization behind Jehovah’s Witnesses, files Amicus Curiae ("friend of the court") brief with the U.S. Supreme Court for the Jimmy Swaggart case. Others file similar briefs include National Council of Churches and Society for Krishna Consciousness.

-January 17, 1990 the U.S. Supreme Court rules against Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, declaring that the sales tax must be paid.

-On February 9, 1990 the Organization behind Jehovah’s Witnesses prepares a letter for congregations announcing that literature will no longer be sold at Kingdom Hall and no price will be set in door-to-door distribution [a.k.a. ‘simplified arrangement’].

-By February 25, 1990 the February 9th letter from the Organization behind Jehovah’s Witnesses is read at Sunday meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses throughout the United States.

-Starting with the March 1, 1990 Watchtower the new policy of distributing literature without naming a price goes into effect immediately.

-The March 15, 1990, WATCHTOWER magazine and March 22nd AWAKE!--printed earlier--still say "25 cents (U.S.) a copy" and "$5.00 (U.S.) per year." The April 1, 1990, Watchtower no longer carries a price.

The fact that the Watchtower of March 15 and Awake 22 still stated the printed cost shows further evidence of it not being a well planned ‘simplifying arrangement’, but a quick change to save the Organization behind Jehovah’s Witnesses money. The needs and consideration of the followers and readers was not put first, but once again the Organization’s business is the most important thing. Does that read as from an organization claiming has Christ as the Head of the Congregation and is being led by the Holy Spirit?

If any deny the fact that the Organization behind Jehovah's Witnesses actually filed a legal brief in Jimmy Swaggart's case, all the court documents are easily and readily available on the internet. Just perform a search for it.

I really feel sorry for you Voice of Reason. Some post you question why attack the Watchtower, it's the people that matter not the organization. In other posts you question why people are being written about. Do you realize it is just grasping at straws?

No matter how you look at it, the Watchtower Society is just like any other relgion/sect at best, and a cult at worst. They are no better than another organizations claim they have they superior ways. Your defense arguments can be applied and used for anyone who is standing behind their beliefs.

It still does not make it right or truth. And while you have chosen to continue supporting and defending JWs - which I'll presume is out of sincerity - does not make everyone else evil/bad/wicked or/and insincere.

Many of come tho the knowledge that the teachings of JWs are not all correct and that it is actually harmful. Jesus Christ has become the answer for those still needing something to look at for direction beside a man-made Faithful and Discreet Slave Class which does not exist in the Bible. Remember, Jesus wants all of us to be Faithful and Discreet as individuals.

Even IF LGB is wrong, I guess they can claim new light and new understanding...You know just like the Watchtower.

At least it did not cost anyone their life, unlike the Watchtower's flip-flop stance on Organ Transplants and the still in effect blood transfusion doctrines.

Whoops...that's right they changed that teaching right around the 80 years have passed mark! New light, after our false teaching about a generation and the "Creator's Promise":

"Why Awake is Published...Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the CREATOR'S PROMISE of a peaceful and secure new world BEFORE the generation that SAW the events of 1914 passes away." {Awake for seven and a half years up to Oct 22 1995}

"Why Awake is Published...Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things." {Awake from Nov 8 1995} [Reference to '1914 generation' deleted]

Too bad the WT didn't learn after all the leading it did to make JWs believe the end was going to be in 1975.

Research the Watchtower Society's historical teachings on Vaccines, Organ Transplants, Rape (Including a woman MUST cry/yell out in order to not be a fornicator and disfellowshipped), and of course the well known blood transfusion issue.

If you (apparently) can think for yourself (You don't avoid so-called apostate) sites. That's fantastic! However, for many the psychological conditioning received by the Watchtower put their life in serious danger both in the past and present. If you do not THINK so - Again good for you. However, others do THINK the Watchtower does so. The important thing is for people to THINK, examine, invetigate and question anything/anyone tells them. Even more so investigate an organization who claims an exclusive connection with God Almighty.

For those who may not be aware of real truth's statement concerning the historical teachings of the Organization behind Jehovah's Witnesses regarding the issue of rape, please examine the following:

***
“Thus if a Christian woman does not cry out and does not put forth every effort to flee, she would be viewed as consenting to the violation. The Christian woman who wants to keep clean and obey God’s commandments, then, if faced with this situation today, needs to be courageous and to act on the suggestion made by the Scriptures and scream. Actually this counsel is for her welfare; for, if she should submit to the man’s passionate wishes, she would not only be consenting to fornication or adultery, but be plagued by the shame. There would be shame, not only from the repulsiveness of the experience, but of having been coerced into breaking God’s law by having sex connections with one other than a legal marriage mate.” (The Watchtower, 1-15-64, p.63)
***

***
“Would it be different if the man had a weapon and threatened to kill you if you did not submit? No, the Scriptures plainly state that Christians are under obligation to ‘flee from fornication.’ (1 Cor. 6:18) It is true that you face the possibility of death in this case.” (Watchtower, 6/1/68, p. 348)
***

***
“If she did not scream she would be as good as dead anyhow…Also, that if she did not scream she would ruin her relationship with Jehovah God and the Christian congregation; that then she would be disfellowshipped or excommunicated from it and that this would be worse than being killed as far as she was concerned.” (Awake!, 3/8/74, p. 14)
***

***
“She told him that if he touched her she would scream as he had never heard anyone scream before. She explained that if she did not she would ruin her relationship with Jehovah God and the Christian congregation….A Christian woman is under obligation to resist, for the issue of obedience to God’s law to ‘flee from fornication’ is involved.” (Watchtower, 10/15/80, p. 7)
***

***
“Treat Him Respectfully – The intended victim should remember that the rapist is a human. No doubt there are circumstances in his life that have precipitated his behavior. So although a woman should not cower in fear and permit a rapist to intimidate her, at the same time she should treat him understandingly as a fellow human.” (Awake!, 2/22/84, p. 24)
***

***
“But if I gave in and he raped me, I would eventually die and have no hope of a resurrection.” (Awake!, 2/22/84, p. 25)
***

***
“...If a woman does not cry out when attacked, it indicates she is submitting to the man and is committing a sin against Jehovah." (Awake! 8/22/89, p. 24)
***


Doesn't exactly sound like something Jesus would make his followers believe, huh? Nonetheless, this is exactly what the Organization behind Jehovah's Witnesses taught its followers.

"Prior to the donation arrangement in the U.S., JW's asked 25 cents for each journel there was no sales tax added on to the figure."

And...?

But if states ruled that the literature was taxable then the congregations would have to pay X% of the price and pass that on. What a mess. It is the publishers who would have to collect it, but it would be part of the cover price, from the people and the congregation would collect it from the people.


"The donation arrangment had not a thing to do with the publishers and every thing to do with the Watchtower Society not wanting to pay sales tax despite their efforts and "friend of the court" filling with Jimmy Swaggart to prevent it. "

That shows the complete ignorance of the apostaposers. The WTBTS would not be a part of it as they are manufacturers. The WTBTS would not pay anything as they do not sell to the public, other than if people go to the Bethel bookstore and get literature.

It would be the congregations that collect it and there may be an arrangement where they would pass it to the Society and they would forward it to the states like many other businesses with multi-state presence do.

But that would add tons of paperwork.

And we had and have the choice to do what we want in such matters. We could take vaccines and organ transplants if we wanted.

Blood is bad medicine so wise people don't take it anyway. As for rape, it is not true that a woman must scream as there is no way to prove that she did or didn't. But the principle applies that she must resist.

S said...

"If you (apparently) can think for yourself (You don't avoid so-called apostate) sites."

It is hard to tell apostates that they are stupid losers if those sites are avoided.


" That's fantastic! However, for many the psychological conditioning received by the Watchtower put their life in serious danger both in the past and present."

Actually the opposite is true. People who follow what is written have better lives.


" If you do not THINK so - Again good for you. However, others do THINK the Watchtower does so. The important thing is for people to THINK, examine, invetigate and question anything/anyone tells them. Even more so investigate an organization who claims an exclusive connection with God Almighty."

Voice of Reason (alias Ronde) lyingly said: "And those quotes from the Watchtowers and Awakes do not represent the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't know why you posted them."

Now let's see what the GB of Jehovah's Witnesses have said regarding these journals:

(From 1987 3/1 Watchtower study article:)

{Note the Sub-title!}
"The Watchtower and Awake!: Champions of Truth"

"15 The “faithful and discreet slave” class, the “watchman,” today uses the Watchtower magazine under the direction of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses as its main channel for dispensing spiritual “food at the proper time.”

18... Each article in both The Watchtower and Awake! and every page, including the artwork, is scrutinized by selected members of the Governing Body before it is printed. They spend many hours in researching the Bible and other reference material to make sure that what is written is the truth and that it faithfully follows the Scriptures."

Of course, the reason that Ronde (alias Voice of Reason) would like to distance himself from these journals is because they contain many errors (read untruths).

For this reason, Ronde is a hybrid JW (like many of his associates) who are quite embarassed by the number of falsehoods found in these journals.

Ronde cannot stand when you quote from these journals, especially those quotes that contain failed prophecies, untruths, misleading/false statements, etc.

Let's see, how long before they change the generation again??? Or, how many other children are going to be influenced to pioneer (instead of seeking an eduction) because they are told the new system is very near, so near they don't have to be concerned about the future in this system of things!

Boy, JW's like Ronde are really hurting people - we can only hope that he/they will see the light... I'm optimistic about Ronde because he likes to visit sites that expose JW's teachings and history.

Yes, I do believe that Ronde/Voice of Reason/Anonymous has one foot out (even if he doesn't see it that way).

S said...

"That's a flat out lie. Of course it represents the Witnesses."

No, it represented the writer's views at the time it was written.

But it does not represent what Jehovah's Witnesses today believe.


"It is their flagship publication where they receive new light and study from it every week as well as distribute it more than any other publication (Including their twisted version of the Bible)."

Wrong.

The study articles are not distributed other than to the congregation.

It's ethical hypocrisy. JW lives are saved by blood fractions. There is only one reason that these fractions are available. Someone donated the blood, from which they were taken.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe what Jesus taught. The Father- Jehovah, was and is his God (John 20:17). Witnesses believe and teach exactly what is in the Lord's prayer concerning who God is.

Jesus is Divine and a Mighty God- but he is not his Father.

Anyone who believes otherwise is not Christian- a follower of Christ.

Again, you're admitting that you are polytheistic. There is no Scriptural support for more than ONE God. Yet, you say Jesus is a God. You then have two Gods. There is only ONE God.

Next, you imply that we believe Jesus is 'the Father'. I don't know anyone who believes this. Jesus is the Son.

Next, you go on to define what a Christian IS and what it ISN'T.

Are you born again? Is Christ your Mediator? If not, then YOU are the one who is not a Christian. There is one Shepherd, ONE flock.

"Yeah, just like JWs have a 'choice' to have a blood transfusion today. But choose "yes" and see how fast you're disfellowshipped. "

Of course, because the Bible says to abstain from blood. But it does not comment on vaccines or organ transplants unless they have blood.

Thus stop worry about what the Watchtower says and focus on the Bible and you will abstain from blood and make choices on the rest.

S said...

"JW lives are saved by blood fractions. There is only one reason that these fractions are available. Someone donated the blood, from which they were taken. "

Where do you get the idea that JWs can't give blood to create fractions. We don't give blood because it is put into a general stock to be transfused but blood can be given for tests and separated.

You people are so full of myths.

As Tina Turner says:"What's love got to do with it"?

It is not the Watchtower Society's job to provide benefits for the workers. If they have needs, then they can find work elsewhere. They are not a corporation out to produce profit for the owners. They do voluntary work of producing religious literature.


""Apostates suck."
"This comment refers to the two former Bethelites who initiated the procedings which found that the Watchtower's workers should have been covered and were not. "

NO, that comment is a truism in that apostates have evil ends and they do not work with people but work against them.

It's irony and hypocritical. JWs are allowed the take fractions of blood but not whole blood. Yet, in order to obtain fractions they are sourced from whole blood. You are not abstaining from whole blood by taking pieces/fractions of it. They were better off with the teaching of not receiving any sort of blood (Whole or fractions).

This "fractions of blood" concept makes JWs look with more ridiculous than before. Especially considering the whole notion of not receiving blood transfusions due to the WTS interpretaion of scriputre is dumb enough in itself.

Let me ask you this...Are all JW Vegetarians? Do they eat hamburgers/stake? Do they cook extremely well-done all the red meat they eat? If not, they are ingestion whole blood every time they eat it.

Does the New World Translation Bible of JWs refer to Jesus as "a god" at John 1:1 or not?

If it does that makes Jesus "a god". It is plain and simple. If he is a god, but then JW's claim Jehovah is the god, you have multiple gods. You can ignore the logic, but that is what it means.

It really is some claim. Christ mediated a new covenant with a so-called class of annointed people who all happen to belong to the same organization that made up the teaching. If one of those anoionted ones that organization, and leave JWs they are then no longer going to heaven and will be destroyed forever too.

JW's really need some new light from the Watchtower to help them with that one...lol.

You mean the video attacks the Watchtower like the Watchtower attacks all other religions and beliefs that do not go along with their interpretations?

There certainly are JW's who believe the Bible. Unfortunately, many of them have a twisted version made by the people who back the Watchtower. JW's are taught not only loyalty to God and the Bible but to an Organization. If you do not believe that you are not accepting all the teachings of JWs. And then you sounds like any other member of any other religion.

If you are not following the Watchtower Organization and loyal submitting to its writings as directed by the Governing Body of JW, you are picking and choosing whta to follow, just like any other person in any other religion.

Don't deny the facts.

What part of your own logic do you not understand? By your own admission for someone to understand what it is like to be a Jehovah's Witness (Being a Jehovah's Witness) they look to the teaching of the Watchtower Society.

There is no stipulation that a JW is to follow and loyally listen to the governing body of JWs on ONLY congregation matters. It includes ALL matters, and loyally following and submitting to all directions they give in the JW life. If you do not believe so or choose not to do so you are going against the governing body.

Since the devil is cast into the lake of fire, those who follow the devil, apostates, will follow him there.

Rev 20:15 "whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Since ones who are exjws have left the faith where one learns of the Word of life, then they leave the book of life.

So, what makes you feel you can trust them for any of their explanations of Bible scriptures?

Also, keep in mind, the GB has insisted that God gives them this understanding... if that's true, when mistakes are made, then by default it must be God that is wrong. But, that cannot be so, can it VOR?

I keep saying that over and over that the Watchtower's faults of the past, present or future do not taint or nullify that Jehovah's Witnesses are the true religion. That is because Jesus is the truth, the messiah who died and redeemed us. Nothing that anyone does can change that.

The Watchtower only helps people to fulfill the preaching of the good news.

Yes, the ones hand-picked by God, the 144,000 are not to be "trusted".
