New Zealand headquarters: Witnesses sell, Elim buys
by Fe2O3Girl inhttp://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/manukau-courier/9124458/witnesses-sell-elim-buys.
it was the national headquarters for the jehovah's witnesses for 30 years.. but the 7.5ha wattle downs property has now been sold to elim church and could soon house a new christian college.. jehovah's witness minister george gray says advances in technology mean the property is no longer needed for running the church's new zealand and south pacific activities which will now be administered from australia.. elim church bought the property for its growing south auckland congregation and volunteers helped transform the site in just a matter of days.. pastor boyd ratnaraja says the congregation moved in on a sunday straight after morning services at their much smaller weymouth rd premises.. "they have done a superb job of setting up," he says.. the church will hold services for its 450-strong congregation at its new home as well as running counselling sessions and operating an op shop and a weekly soup kitchen.. "we believe in reaching out to the community.
we want this to be a centre of hope.

For the ones that gave their All and lived for the end of this system - sold homes, rejected a good education etc based on that date - it's healthier to let go, expecially after all these decades.
After all, we've still 22 years to enjoy ourselves...2034 ahead.

Who does the H. Spirit indwell according to the Watchtower?
by james46888 ini've spoken with a number of jw's in the past who have told me that they believe the h. spirit only indwells the 144,000 (obviously contradicted by romans 8:8-9).
however, the jw i am presently trying to convert caught me a little off guard by telling me he was unaware of this doctrine (he's been a jw for 40-years) and that he understood it to be that all believers are indwelt by the h. spirit.
is he simply misinformed about his own organisations teachings here?

I recall reading the Watchtower mag not long ago re the above.
I'm sure I read that the 'other sheep' earthly class have as much holy spirit as the heavenly group. The difference seems to be, as Hadit said, only being 'led'.
If someone could locate the article on their WT cd maybe?...it would clear the mud.

2 weeks ago Mel Gibson in 'Edge of Darkness'. A little of the hereafter included surprisingly.
Last weekend, 'Shutter Island'.
Mmm, can someone explain was he - Leonardo - guilty or innocent? I couldn't make out the ending.
