  Looks like he's qualified to be a WT-calibre expert witness.

  i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.

  many has shown interest in this situation.

  the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.

  I can just picture a medieval executioner saying to the convicted, "Please accept my warmest greetings, and I hope you have a pleasant day."

  Why execution is a loving provision from Jehovah!

  Yes Peter GOD IS LOVE!
  Consider - Gods love of not letting Harm-a-gedon come in 2015 allowed a NET of 118,000 become SAVED!
  Praise JAH!
  So Sad To Bad for the 128,000,000 who were born that year who he will have to Murder.

  The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways. (And he's getting old - his thinking may not be as crisp as desired.)

  this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.

  a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.

  the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

  As congregations get more spread out and members are shoved in to larger congregations of people

  
  

  Are not the new model KH's smaller in size, hence they cannot hold large congo's?

  Elder Arrest Scaremongering

  by jw07 in

  last week there was a meeting with all the elders and ministerial servants about responsibility in the kingdom hall and blah blah blah.. one elder brought up a scenario where all the elders were arrested, and we were asked if the meeting would still go on, and how.. this is the second time within a month that i've heard that scenario posed by an elder in my congregation.. does anyone have any idea of the trash being fed to them in letters recently?.

  is this a scenario that hq is putting out there, or are the fear mongering convention videos driving their imaginations wild?.

  If there were you would need to have your attorney send them a letter on his letterhead. That might get their attention.

  
  

  
  

  Correct.

  Yes...
  In Europe, the right to a fair hearing is guaranteed by Article 6(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights, which is said to complement the common law rather than replace it.

  The “boldness” of the GB

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this topic is related to the one about the relocation of publishers and moving and dissolving congregations.. some of the things that we are seeing now were unthinkable a few years back, examples the closing of the branches, layoff of bethelites and travelling overseers, the grabbing of the congregations funds and many more.

  some of my friends tell me that basically the wt was operating with an early 20th century business model that needed a tune up and that worldly consultants are behind the changes that have been implemented.. nevertheless to put it in hollywood terms, they seem to think that they are on a “mission from god” and that they are “going where no man, has gone before”..

  So if a worldly consulting firm was hired

  
  

  Every ex-Bethelite story is the same. Department heads haven't a clue what they are doing, and are ruled by ego only.

  When literature becomes a loss-leader, and is your main product, you will face SERIOUS financial trouble.

  Some HARD decisions had to be made.

  Those outside can only speculate on whether or not enough is being done.

  (Given the fact that there were ZERO new releases this year ... )
