Why so much DEFICIT?

when i sit at a ca and the bro comes out and reads the financial report it is alwasy in the red (deficit).

then i ask myself: "if we own this building, the parking area, and there is no food being served; how in the world can we have a deficit?

" typically, the deficit is in the range of $5000 and $7000.

Aintthatcute

I'm not saying there is any "funny business" going on at the individual KH. I'm only questioning how a Circuit Assembly starts off with a deficit? When:

1) The JWs own the Circuit Assembly Hall,
2) I'm just telling it the way it was 'splained to me 'bout the donations and how they are prefigured per individual.

Hope this makes more sence?

When I sit at a CA and the Bro comes out and reads the financial report it is alwasy in the red (DEFICIT). Then I ask myself: "If we own this building, the parking area, and there is no food being served; how in the world can we have a DEFICIT?" Typically, the deficit is in the range of $5000 and $7000. So, I asked an elder that question and he said that they count on a $5 contribution per day for everyone in attendece: i.e,. If you have 10 members in your family and the CA is 3 days then I would owe $150. He went on to tell me that if the CA doesn't get out of the deficit durring the CA, then they will go to the congregations in the circuit who were assigned to those days and get it from them.

It would appear to me that with an average District made up of 20 circuits, and the 1mm or so of attendees across the US. The WBTS is making a "killing!"

Is this an obvious loop-hole in the donation arrangement? Because, if they don't get the monies at the CA's then they get it from the individual halls.

I whish the WBTS would be honest with these things!

Hot Gossip: JW Lies Re Murder Attempt in WSM

by Englishman in

just a bit of background first: my pal ray works as a barman in a nearby village social club.

sometimes he enjoys a pint in my pub, and sometimes talks with my estranged pal, dub-in-the-pub.

some years ago he married lucy, a vivacious middle-aged lady with something of a reputation.

Aintthatcute

Maybe Lucy has discoverde a way to count more time for her field service activities. And maybe, Dub-in-the-Pub, is monitoring her success rate.

Just "Maybe"! [8>]

Let's talk about SOUL

by Aintthatcute in

something that i am having trouble grasping is my soul.

ok, soul as it is defined by the wbts.. in the reasoning from the scriptures, pg 375, this is what is stated:.

[soul.

Something that I am having trouble grasping is my soul. OK, soul as it is defined by the WBTS.

In the Reasoning from the Scriptures, pg 375, this is what is stated:

[SOUL
Definition: In the Bible, "soul" is translated from the Hebrew ne'phesh and the Greek psy-khe'. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, "soul" means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings.]

I'll keep this short. AT Genesis 2:7 it reads, "And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust form the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man CAME TO BE A LIVING SOUL."

Then, at Matthew 10:28 we read, "And do not become fearful of those who kill the BODY BUT CANNOT KILL THE SOUL; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy BOTH SOUL AND BODY in Ge-hen'na.

According to the Reasnoning book, the body and soul are the same thing. However; the two scriptures taken from the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures tell me that the soul and body are seperate. Which is it?

i have read a great deal from the silentlamb's web site, not to mention other sites that are following this atrocity!

it would seem to me, and you can probibly bet, when something like this comes to the attention of the elders; that all of thier children are warned to stay clear of "publisher alleged child abuser"!

even though they are supposed to be "hush-hush" about it.

Aintthatcute

OOPS! I put up the wrong emotion in my last post to Had Enough. It should be

Had Enough,

Hi,

Thank you for the warm welcome. I enjoyed your comments. It's a shame, that the only way we (R&F) can protect our children from alleged child-molesters, that only The GB, Elders and those directly involved have knowledge of, We have to be on The GB or an Elder.

I just want ot reiterate what I said earlier:

quote:
Can you just imagine how the WTBTS would handle this if: Elders were told that if a chid abuse occured (Sexual, or otherwise), and it was brought to the Elders attention, they were not to tell anyone, not even members of their own families. (Their Children, their Fleshly brothers/sisters - so these could protect their children.) Or they would be Dissfellowshiped. I think there would me mass mutiny. OH! Wait! Elders aren't supposet to talk to anyone not involved directly.

So, do you think that Elders don't tell their (immediate family members) kids: to avoid, stay clear of, don't be alone with so and so?
That way everyone may be at equal risk of the alleged perpetrator?

Thanks to all for their post.

YK, what scripture in Psalms were you refering too was it Psalms 119:165 regarding "stumling block"?

I think since You Know, a.k.a YK, posted, we have drifted off course of the original message:
