$5.5 Million to be transferred to World Wide Work from Assembly Hall fund

by Sour Grapes in

a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.

it was sold a couple of years ago.

we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.

Thanks, St George of England. Then it looks like what I said has already happened: they have applied their concept of reduction of KHs to AHs. All we are now seeing is the aftermath, the selling off of excess buildings.

sir82: point well taken. So they have not reduced the number of assemblies since that would cut into their money making. But they have streamlined the process. Reduce their duration to one day. Pack them in and get them out, all the while collecting as much cash as always during their short stay. Why have more AHs than is necessary to do this? Streamline, streamline, streamline...

Might this be indicative of something else in the works? A reduction in the number and/or length of circuit assemblies? If they are still having 2 two-day ones per year, they might be going to only one. If they are still two-day affairs, perhaps they are going to only one-day assemblies. Either way, it would open up time slots for the existing assembly halls to accommodate twice the number they used to. It's the same principle they've been using for KH consolidation—why not do the same with AHs?

Then the money grab would be in harmony with everything else they normally do. They are certainly not going to give it back!

The Harp of God book

by blownaway in

i am looking for the book the harp of god.

i am told it has some crazy passages in it.

can anyone put up some quotes of the book?

careful

SBF,

How about the idea that Fred Franz realized the spiritual Israel thing—and probably many other things that CTR had wrong—and finally won over JFR to his view? I suspect this was a major overlooked factor in WTS history of the post-CTR period.

SBF:

I wonder what happened in just five years to so radically alter his view.

He/they embraced spiritual Israel as the fulfillment of OT prophecies.

Joe attends Iglesia Ni Christo church service

by joe134cd in

well i have heard various comments about them on here, so last week i decided to do an internet search on them.

i was quite surprised to find there was an inc in my local area and ironically only meters away from the kh.. it was very interesting to say the least, and in the short time i was there i could quite understand how they get there reputation as a high control religion if not a cult.

in some respects i think they are probably more jw than the jws.. let me explain how my visit went.

What Will The Future Hold For Jehovah's Witnesses

friends

as descibed by the title here is a link to reddit of a what i believe is a powerful post with heaps of information.

Watchtower now embedding their pdfs with data so that they can issue subpoenas to isps to trace down culprits in the borg who are leaking this information.

Won't using a proxy get around that? Are the WT geniuses missing this or just counting on their leakers to be dumb enough not to employ a proxy?

SBF, unlike the SDAs any "member transfers" in the Witness world would entail a letter from one BOE to another which would not be done electronically, I think, at this time. Does anybody know the status on this?

Did electrical energy evolve or was it created?

by atomant in

lt appears this topic has not been debated.energy has to come from something it doesn't come from nothing..

careful

Electrical energy occurs in nature—ever heard of Ben Franklin flying his kite? Lightning?

Evolution is a biological concept. The nervous systems in animals work by electricity. Are you confused? You need to explain what you mean.
