there’s all this talk about combining congregations to enhance kingdom hall utilization.
the branch offices keep calling the halls half full.
are they half full or half empty?
Watch the video!
It's a 200 seater Kingdom Hall with 4 English (or same language) congregations
Each congregation has an average attendance of 120. (4 x 120 = 480)
The 4 congregations are then merged into 3 congregations
Thus each congregation will now have an average attendance of 160 in a 200-seater KH.

one of us on netflix.
this is a documentary on hasidism.
i wish one day a similar documentary will be made for watchtower.
The other Jewish film doing the rounds is Menashe.
Based around the life of Menashe Lustig, a 38-year-old Hasidic Jew and native of the Hasidic enclave New Square in Brooklyn.
Sadly his wife died, and the rabbi has said that until he remarries, he would be an unfit parent for his son.
But Lustig refuses to remarry, and so his son lives with another Hasidic family.

this law firm seems to exit for the sole purpose of defending the jw organisation.

Thanks, that was a fascinating documentary, thanks for pulling it up - it's interesting to see the events overlaid with the political side too.
Interesting on the 'hate crime' thought regarding the view of it today.
The dictionary definition of what a 'whore' included was funny.
Shows the legal differences though - esp compared to the the US Bill of Rights and the 1st Amendment.

George One Time - As the website name you mentioned indicates - his name was W Glen How
It was recently discussed at all congregations during the mid-week meeting with the study of the 2014 'God's Kingdom Rules!' book.
God's Kingdom Rules, page 139
Kingdom Preachers Take Their Case to Court
In June 1950, the full Supreme Court of Canada, made up of nine justices, heard the case of Aimé Boucher. Six months later, on December 18, 1950, the Court ruled in our favor. Why? Brother Glen How, a lawyer for the Witnesses, explained that the Court agreed with the argument presented by the defense that “sedition” requires incitement to violence or insurrection against government. The tract, however, “contained no such incitements and was therefore a lawful form of free speech.” Brother How added: “I saw firsthand how Jehovah gave the victory.” (see footnote)
Footnote: Brother W. Glen How was a courageous attorney who, from 1943 to 2003, skillfully fought hundreds of legal battles for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Canada and abroad.
this tragic story has been developing over the last couple of days in venezuela.
there is a mixture of reports and accounts coming in..... two jehovah's witnesses (and fleshly sisters) aged 71 and 65, where found murdered.
a 26 year male suspect has been arrested.. in the apartment where the two where found dead, the words "death to witnesses" (“muerte a los testigos”) had been scrawled onto one of the walls.. he killed them because they expelled him from the jehovah's witnesses - canal de noticia, nov 28, 2017. .
I don't really like to speculate, particularly on a tragic story like this. Though it has been mentioned that it is a possibility that some how the two victims where involved in the accused's apparent DF'ing, perhaps as 'witnesses' for the JC.
