Why the Deficit at the Circuit Assembly?

have you ever wondered why there is always a deficit at the circuit assembly?

did you realize that before the program begins, the circuit is already in the red?

many of the friends thought they were paying for the use of the building and covering the costs of the utilities, etc.

15 Years of Jehovahs-Witness.com
by Simon in
1. forum
2. announcements
yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.

i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.

the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!

Breaking News: Big Trouble with the Watchtower

1. jw
2. friends
a couple of weeks ago, an ex-bethelite(10 years) by the name of mel smith was disfellowshipped.

i understand that he still lives in ny are and has a mortgage company.

evidently, he was hurt while serving at the farm and watchtower did some horrible things to him.

School schedule references
by Mulan in

2. bible
each year someone makes up a booklet that includes all the references for the weekly tm school.

it isn't the schedule, but the actual exerpts from the wts publications, week by week.. does anyone have a copy of the one for 2007?.

in the past the wts discouraged people from having these, printing them up and distributing them.
