"Kingdom Hall Construction Guidelines For Lands With Limited Resources" ¡leaked!
by hildebrando in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
"these guidelines are for use by branch personnel and those directly involved in the program.

they are not for general distribution... the material presented describes how this program is coordinated internationally through regional kingdom hall offices and how it is supervised at the branch level by the various branch committees re-sponsible.

it explains how volunteers are obtained for the program and how modest standard kingdom hall plans are developed based on local building materials and methods.

How much did the other countries pay for the 1000 kingdom halls in the philippines!

ref: http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/1000-kingdom-halls-philippines/.

while looking at the article one thousand kingdom halls and counting on jw.org, it immediately made me think: ahhh, this is where a large portion of the funds for the construction projects must go.

clearly, the philippinos are all poor and they need the financial support of richer countries.

Is this new donation arrangement for real?
by nugget in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

i tried to search for a similar topic but couldnt find one.. anyway, i am an active jw or is it jehovah's witness?.
