may 29, 2017 to all bodies of elders in england and wales re: charity commission annual return guidance.
Thanks
Volunteers: Enter the peak number of publishers during the financial year ended March 31, less the number of elders who served as trustees.
This has been showing up already for sometime on the new Charity Commission website:
For Mill Hill: http://beta.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=1065638&subid=0
Then click on the 'People' tab
For Mill Hill: 18 Trustees plus 140 peak publishers = 158 total congregation members (at peak)
and the money keeps rolling in.

Does anyone know if this is the last of the WTS property to go?
No, it's not the last 'to go'....

so, now that some time has passed, i’d like some input/thoughts/analysis/etc.
on the jw construction situation in the last few years.. first, why did they discontinue the rbc arrangement and institute the ldc arrangement?
was it for more and/or better control?
Yeah that's the problem with anything - if it's new you gotta apply the current rules.
The rbc didnt want to handle the site work
Yeah, not so keen on that bit!
(Have sent you a PM)

i dont like to give too much info on the internet but anyone from my area would know exactly what hall im talking about
I kinda presumed 'local people' would - but thanks to the internet we can all be 'local people' now.
BTW the town's website also gives some brief indication of the environmental issues it looks like they had.

Hey _Morpheus - thanks for the account, skills-wise I think the RBC find building a new KH much easier (ie quicker) than a major refurbishment / extension
BTW I found the KH in less than 2 minutes, confirmed it with a wikipedia page
The Google StreetView - dated June 2008 - goes right up and into the car park area, but shows it as literally a flat building site with diggers - so it looks like the exisitng KH had just been demolished at that point?
More recent StreetView from 2012 shows a brand new KH.

Whats the difference? The pioneer was told it was something he could do and encourage to do so but keep it on the down low because that for just pioneers Etc. It was the same with the RBC
Whatcha talkin bout Crazyguy?
It's all explained in one of my posts here from last year... check out the link below....

as you may be aware, next years "special" talk is to be given 1 week before the memorial.
they have just issued the following instruction as well -.
please note that bodies of elders should not take steps to assign a speaker for the special talk until further information is provided by the branch office.. .
It'll be the specialest ever!
Oh so special!
Ah Maria!
I feel special.
Oh, so special.
I'll baffle and razzle and dazzle.
It's from Bethel!
The audience will be frazzled.

this topic was discussed a few years ago and i thought i would have a look to see what is going on with go fund me's by jws.
i am astounded that there are a great deal more jws requesting money than there were a few years ago and even by pioneers.i've only looked in detail at a few jw go fund me requests but came across this one that i am stunned about on a number of levels.. my little maryhello friends.
meet my wonderful girlfriend mary, a 23 year old "need greater pioneer"serving in the english field in san marcos nicaragua.
What about exJW GFMs?....
