WTS BUSTED AGAIN OVER TAX SUBSIDIES FOR CONVENTION

by MadApostate in

i am pulling this out of the "subject" thread so more folks can see:.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=16702&site=3.

big thanks to those activists who worked behind the scenes to get this story published.. this is not one of the locations that i'm personally involved with, but one where others of like mind took the bull by the horns.

I wonder if the people that have approved this realizes that the thousands of Witnesses that come to the conventions have been encouraged to NOT patronize local restuarants, etc., but to bring their own food in order to spend more time with the brothers and sisters. They have even shortend lunch breaks over the years in order to 'encourage' the brothers to bring lunch so they don't have to rush in and out to get lunch somewhere else.

God forbid they run into an apostate while crossing the street to get a hot dog. If I were a local business owner I would have a FIT. I know up here in New England there was a drastic decrease of vendors outside the convention centers when this change occurred.

that is what first impressed me about them is the activism. something i wanted to be involved in but always felt guilty because i should have been in field service.

this post wont resonate so much with antipodean friends but for us in the northern hemisphere yesterday was the shortest day.

i find a difference in my mood and feelings at this time of year.

i have a distinct sense of foreboding when the clocks are set back in october.

i always feel better when the winter solstice comes...I know the days are getting longer and that I will be sane for another year!

spray paint "merry christmas" across the front of my old hall thursday night.

we were back in ky to visit my grandparents and we had to drive by my old hall while driving to a friend's house.

everyone's cars were parked neatly in a row outside (about 10 or 13 cars, it was always a small cong.).

Gopher,
For me it is for fellowship and for spiritual reasons. I spent most of 25 years going either studying for meetings, going to meetings, preparing for field service, and going to field service. I miss going somewhere I feel part of the community. The KH here was actually a place of refuge for me for a few years, untils the cracks starting to show and it became more hazardous than beneficial for me. Also, my son has been asking me many spiritual questions lately. While I have given him answers that I feel are on the mark, I would like there to be a place where I can go with him and get some good information and upbuilding as well,

gently,

Thank you for your input! I think after xmas I will check out one of the churches. I have been to one of them before for a concert. They seem to rent out their church quite a bit to all sorts of great groups for concerts and speakers, etc., they seem very civic minded.

OFFICIAL-WT&AWAKE SUBSCRIPTIONS NO MORE

by lookin in

it is official in usa.

the announcement was made at the service meeting.. letter read due to cost of postage...once your subsription expires it will not be renewed.

My mother happened to miss that meeting. I was the one who informed her about this today. She raised her eyebrows and said,"Where did you hear THAT?" and I told her "the same online board I got the information about the Theocratic book and the UN on." I have not been to a meeting in almost 4 years and I know just as much as what is going on without having to sit through a meeting.

Really, though, it may be a good idea because maybe they will be actually printing less magazines because there may be many that will not bother to accept magazines if it means getting a visit every two weeks or once a month.

I for one, can get them any time from my family. However, I wonder now if the society will diret the witnesses not to give out mags to inactive family membets unless they go to the hall.
