  he was the secretary before he resigned years ago.

  he has a business that kept him involved with the kingdom hall.

  the hall was sold to another church.

  to go off topic for a minute..

  what if a congregation owned its hall outright--never had a mortgage or loan from the watchtower---and the body of elders decided to sell up. are they legally required to hand over the dosh to the watchtower ?

  Shepherding visit

  by donnye in

  i cannot seem to find any information on which elder/s are assigned to do a shepherding visit on a congregation member.

  does one of them have to be the member's field group leader?

  can any elders do a shepherding visit at a member's request?

  reading back over Donnys posts ten years back--it strikes me he is simply not one of the congregation "in " crowd--probably has no real friends either in the congregation--nor in the real world. it will be a sad day for him when he finally gets shoved out the door.

  Publisher's Record Cards

  okay, i haven't been to a meeting in over 17 years and i don't live anywhere near the place i grew up.

  i have had minimal contact with my jw family, essentially just occasional phone conversations.

  i think they could easily guess that i'm inactive but they pretend not to know and they've never shunned me.

  i had to clear my old jw dad's house out when he went into a care home--2013. along with car loads of watchtowers going back 50 years and books--there was a large cardboard box of congregation records--all went to the tip.

  Are any books being placed anymore?

  a recent post by atlantis/ petra was about destroying old books, some of which had been studied and placed over the years.. is witnessing these days only about directing people to jworg, are there books that are placed, or is hq concerned enough about having ever-changing beliefs in print that they avoid it?.

  maybe the watchtower should put out an edict that if any "associates" do sell any old literature on ebay / car boots etc they are to hand any money over to the org.

  i'm sure they could dig up a scripture to support their instruction.

  Do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe the 1,000 reign of Christ Jesus began in 1914 ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if not ,why do they claim he took up his power to reign as king in 1914 ?

  do they claim that ?

  or is it that he has only returned awaiting for god to give the throne to him.?.

  Friend Is Worried About My “Mental Health”...lol

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  one of my tennis friends who happens also to be a nurse, told me today that he is concerned about my mental health because i support donald trump.

  i believe he got shafted but i also recognize that very little will probably change regarding his being re-elected.

  this man voted for the “green” candidate and said he personally agrees with most of trump’s views but he thinks he’s morally corrupt.
