  @bohm

  I did not hear the announcement myself. Once i get more information is will post it.

  Bigger venue: i doubt. Better seating: Anything is better than a rugby ground plastic back breaking seats with treacherous stairs!

  Interesting point, Better Multimedia: I presume so since it will be indoors better lighting and clearer sound and visual - if this years convention is similar to last years, then i presume similar amount or more video broadcasts.

  for non British readers.

  Twickenham is a football ground that all London conventions used to be held there since 1960s.

  Seems they are asking lots of money or WTS is not making enough money out of it, i meant JWs not contributing much.
  

  ExCel is an indoors conference centre. And seems 25,000 JWs will be distributed around London for their Convention.

  Same in our congregation is happening!

  Last month only 4 people turned up at the brothers house, i think it was more for the food and drink rather to watch.

  If he offers alcoholic drinks i may go also!

  Congregation that have sent in money!

  by DwainBowman in

  in the past week, i have heard from a number of friends scattered all over the place.

  a number of them are very upset over the congregation being required, to send in all monies over $4,000.

  a number of these were kh's that were saving to buy land, and or build new kh's.

  Although the letter was read in the UK, i have been to several congregations and noticed on their notice board the financial statement with big sums of money (£20,000+) still in their congregation bank account.

  
  So is this arrangement only for USA congregations. And in Europe or specifically UK they can not pull something like this?

  Experience in a talk

  last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.

  "a brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!".

  this is not the first time i hear similar experience.

  This is not the first time i hear similar experience. A brother or sister at work had their colleagues (at least of them) wanting to have sex with them.

  In what world do these people live. I have worked for several years in a "Worldly (tm)" job, and not a window cleaner and never had any work mate female or male approach me to have sex with me.

  I might be an ugly person, what about my wife. She is nice looking, and never had any of her managers wanting to have sex with her!
  

  I have heard JWs fucking each other more than than i have heard there was relations between work colleagues.

  When would the WT stop giving false experiences or unrealistic ones.

  These days if a person gives a wrong look at work, you will sitting in a disciplinary HR meeting risking your job!

  In my experience, had couple JCs, there was not specific setting and it was always 3 elders with notes.

  As long as you know how the system works, you can 80% of times get out of it with just either public reprove or few months of restrictions.

  Or throw the whole case out of the window due to insufficient or contradicting evidence and the person reporting you gets in trouble!

  Illegal immigrants in the organization?

  by silent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a thought today that might prove interesting.

  i'm wondering if there are any illegal immigrants who are witnesses?

  surely it would be a great position to be in as an illegal immigrant because you could play up your plight and prey on the sympathies of others within the congregation.

  @Blondie. As usual very good research and answers to the point!

  I was looking for such reference myself since a similar situation rose in our congregation.

  A person who was studying abroad and decided to visit the uk on a student visa (later on it appeared the intention is to stay) continued their study and then got peptised and shortly applied for regular auxiliary pioneer and got it.

  To add in insult to injury, the person openly says "I spent all my time in ministry and dont go to college".

  This person should be studying in the college not going fulltime in the ministry.

  They are breaking the law and several grounds and they get privileges in the congregation.

  Double standards? I think No standards!
