Rheinische Post, Saturday 10 June 2017
Dusseldorf. In the world of Jehovah's Witnesses, there seems to be only black and white, proponents and opponents. Our author Verena Kensbock spoke with both sides: the followers Marcel and Myriam Nau and the drop-off Michael Spengler.

Black pudding inventors

Diario De Soria, Saturday 10 June 2017
The 'morcilleros' maintain their commitment to the quality and the artisan processes and introduce the innovation to develop new concepts
Although perhaps the most revolutionary product of the brand has been the ecumenical blood sausage, a bloodless blood so that Jehovah's Witnesses can enjoy without sin.

Is there anything recent in the publications about Jesus only being the ransom for annointed?

by NikL in

i was trying to find something recent that i can show "still ins" in my sphere but it is proving harder than anticipated.. most of what i am seeing is couched in confusing goblygook wt style prattle.. my wife argues that it's not even true and i think that's the case with most jaydubs.. so i guess if it is a teaching that is being allowed to fade, maybe it's not worth pursuing?.

any of you scholars out there got anything recent clear and handy?.

Another, simple way to present it is by simply showing them the WT Publication Index.

Very black and white.

Use the 1986 to 2000 Edition

Look up 'Mediator' as the main heading - then look down to 'Jesus Christ', then 'for anointed only:'

Port Dover population booms

Thanks for the link - quite an amazing population BOOM - no wonder it hit the headlines!

And yet the congregation in Port Dover was closed down!

Over the last five years Port Dover's population of around 6,000 has grown by a MASSIVE 90 people each year!

With a population of 6,161 and a Canadian JW ratio of 1-in-317 - that means that the congreagtion SHOULD have 19 publishers!

But the newspaper says they ONLY had 20 or so members!!!

Just a side point. The sale was in dollars, not pounds?

And not just dollars - but CANADIAN dollars

So that's around US $215,000

Population just over 6,000

For our American friends, the DUP are the UK party closest to the American right: anti gay, anti abortion, climate change denying with close paramilitary connections. They're corrupt and hugely hypocritical.

Politics in Northern Ireland is generally sectarian-based and is therefore completely different to the rest of the UK.

The DUP - Democratic Unionist Party - is Right-wing Protestant and was founded by Ian Paisley.

Former Kingdom Hall near Port Dover has new owner

Simcoe Reformer, Friday, June 9, 2017
Some properties are so attractive that you buy first and ask questions later.
That’s the position Ron Hart, of Port Dover, is in now that he is the new owner of the former Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses next to the Port Dover Cemetery.
Hart retired to Port Dover from Binbrook two years ago. He’s been around long enough to know that two-acre properties in the countryside with a well-maintained building in an attractive setting aren’t that common.
“It’s gone to a good home and the owner doesn’t know what he’s going to do with it yet,” Hart said last week. “It’s a beautiful piece of property.”
Documents obtained from the Norfolk land registry office in Simcoe say Hart purchased the property from “Trustees for the Port Dover congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses” for $290,000. The transaction was registered April 13.
When the property went on the block last October, the asking price was $349,000.
The property is located on Blue Line Road between Highway 6 and St. John’s Road East. The building was constructed as a school house with a floor area of about 2,500 square feet.
Jehovah’s Witnesses began worshipping at the hall in 1980.
The congregation once boasted 80 members but this dwindled to 20 or so in recent years. A decision was made to sell the property and disperse the remaining members to congregations in Simcoe, Waterford and Hagersville.
As a property with institutional zoning, the former Kingdom Hall has many potential uses. The 26 listed uses include residential, veterinary clinic, cemetery, crematorium, day-care centre, place of worship and private club.
The property has parking for 26 vehicles. For taxation purposes, its assessed value is in the range of $260,000.
