  C.O. in the basement

  by DaCheech in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just saw the mail.

  when i saw a bill from the satellite tv company i could not refrain from opening it.. seems like the congregation is flipping the $88 a month for the c.o.

  to watch tv.. the billing was not personalized to the co, but to the congregation.

  Exciting announcements at service meeting

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've already had a post on this, but there were other interesting comments.. the brother giving the announcements said that there would be a new understanding of jesus' reference to the generation as discussed at the annual meeting.. an elder giving a service meeting part review of different watchtower articles from the current year brought out the new light concerning 1935.. he asks: "when is the sealing of the anounted ones?".

  elder answers: "there is no specific date".

  later after the meeting, i asked an elder if the new understanding of the remnant now meant that younger people could go to heaven.. he answered with an affirmative "yes" and that we would be getting the new understanding of the generation jesus spoke of in a future 2008 watchtower.. .

  The Effect of Losing Elders

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  losing elders in the us puts the organization into quite a dilemma.

  they hate large congregations.

  but can't split without enough appointed local 'enforcers'.
