truth_b_known and AbusedandPissed:
Yes, there are a number of secondary corporations like the WTS of NY, Florida, Canada, Christian Congregation of JWs, etc. But what we're talking about here is the main original one: WTS of Pennsylvania that Russell started. It isn't just used for legal issues, it holds the copyright to nearly ALL publications, owns loads of property and much more.

I didn't watch it yet. Maybe in reference to the "promise" every congregation makes when they pledge a yearly amount to the society. If they don't deliver on the amount, a local needs part is supposed to be given.

It's typically the first Monday of every month, so should be in about 5 days.
4 zombies at the door.
i come out with the nwt and ask who wants to talk about the bible.
if you don't want to talk about the bible why the fuck did you knock and counting time.
Touchy touchy JunkYardDog, you're living up to your name. Play nice here, we're not enemies! Anyways, enjoyed your original post, had a good laugh. I can just imagine all that going down 😂

here's some pictures of the tunnels that used to connect the various bethel buildings after they stopped being used, as well as a diagram.. .

I'm just wondering how they handle these tunnels what with the buildings being sold to different owners. I heard something about them filling the tunnels in, but not sure how that would work.

then there was an interview with two longtime bethelites who were both asked about defining moments in their service.
the woman mentioned studying the so-called "deep" publications, and they showed these two on screen.ironically the one on the right was the book famous for saying the end would come in 1975, but that went over everybody's heads.
she also mentioned the day when the gb announced that multiple longtime bethelites would be "reassigned" aka canned.

She also mentioned the day when the GB announced that multiple longtime Bethelites would be "reassigned" aka canned. She was confused because they had always been told to make Bethel their career for life, and now this. But she said it taught her that Jehovah knows what's best. Of she wasn't one of the ones kicked to the curb, so that probably helped.
The man here who was interviewed said he was baptized in Jan. 1975 (just made it apparently 😅) and his defining moment was when he married a young sister who was working under him. And here's the picture of him with his child bride.
(For those who can't tell: The black woman being interviewed with him is NOT his wife.)
we’ve all heard them all our life.
my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.
oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.
pontoon:
Speaking of Uriah and David, I remember one public talk that said they'd put on a concert together.
