If that's true then you can't say such and such is no longer aa Jehovahs Witnesses . now I'm not very educated but is this like contradictory.

What if a Kingdom Hall is dedicated to Jehovah,

Can it be sold and then of course be used for something else, let's say a brothel?

Maybe it can never be sold then,

Good point tepidpoultry. Clearly it is not still dedicated to Jehooba if someone else buys it.

If that's true, why are they selling off Kingon Halls that were 'dedicated(tm)' to 'Jehovah(tm)? In my city, one is a Pentecostal church and one is a Mosque. Oh, the irony!

tedipoultry - my point fazackerly.

Is it possible their thinking on this could be an uninspired error of judgement. .....Mmmmm?

An enthusiastic field service group leaving for witnessing activity in Lusaka, Zambia. The well-maintained Kingdom Hall serves as a powerful witness to Jehovah. Watchtower April 2017

Not only are these Halls dedicated to Jehovah but they 'serve as a powerful witness' to him. Why would they even think of selling?

never a jw

Poopie,

What they mean is:

They (Watchtower) have the power to dump you, but you don't have the power to dump them.

Ah but then i wasn't baptized in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit. I was baptized in the name of the father, the son and gods spirit directed organization. Therefore i was never dedicated to Jehovah.

Yeah, makes perfect sense that 8 year old kids make such a ironclad agreement.
