sheer joy.. the local kingdumb hall is up for sale.
a quick build from 1984. i went in there once--for a relative's wedding.
half a million pounds.. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/commercial-property-for-sale/property-44198850.html.
Good news.
I had a nose on Jborg which indicates 3 halls and 5 congs on the whole of the Isle of Wight, including Ryde (as of early Nov 2016).
Looking on Jborg it still shows the hall being used but by only one cong. Do you know if the cong is being disbanded or moved as a whole congregation to one of the nearby halls? Both of which appear to have two congs in each at present.
study article: who is leading god's people today?
start of paragraph 12.. standard version: "the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.".
Study Article: Who is Leading God's People Today? Start of paragraph 12.
Standard version: "The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction."
Simplified version: "The Governing Body is neither inspired nor perfect. It can make mistakes when explaining the Bible or directing the organization."
Even clearer? Even more forthright?
An equally good quotation to have in mind?
this recording was the final straw for me.

That is so powerful Unshackle - especially 15:00 onwards.
She tearfully and emotionally and oh so lucidly ... tells any listener the nature of this Pharisaical little cult.
Do you know her and how she is doing?
it appears the the commonwealth government is bringing in a national compensation scheme for victims of institutional child sexual abuse with individuals able to claim up to $150,000 each.
it's clear that the australian government will not be able to fund this program without serious money from the offending churches.
so it's bad news for the organization today.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-04/government-announces-redress-for-abuse-victims/7996092.

justice mcclellen asked g.jackson about compensation for victims of child abuse , and mcclellan suggested it be by a consortium of groups , presumably religious and secular in nature as a pool to dispense approppiate compensation to all of the victims involved .. g.jackson hesitated and said they would have to look at the details of that proposal , before committing to it.. jehovah`s witnesses consider themselves as the only true religion and ,all others as false religion .. they take pains to separate themselves from from any association with other religions , not even being included in newspaper notices about church services.they want to keep themselves separate and distinct from false religion as they see them.. so how do you think they will handle this suggestion / requirement ?
will they join in aligning themselves with "babylon the great" in compensation .?.
didn`t they align themselves with another religion in the u.s.a. some years ago , that had to do with the w.t.
What's stopping the dopes in Brooklyn playing hardball, closing down every major asset and siphoning off the vast majority of its money in Australia to the mother ship?
update on u.s. local design/construction arrangement—november 2016 video will be considered the week of november 7, 2016. english and spanish.
Breaux says the video "... will help pull back the curtain, so to speak ...". How Ironic!
Empty Kingdom Halls which can be sold and empty congregations which can be merged and their bank accounts raided but we still need your money.
How dumb have you got to be to not realise what is going on???
Shouting voice on: HELLO! THE PREACHING WORK WITH ITS JW MESSAGE IS A FAILURE! A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!
The reason they are selling it is that it is in a prime location in the biggest Capital city in Europe and will get them a huge amount of sovs.
The place they are building in its stead is:-
Much cheaper and will have far fewer people and no printing presses.
So lots of lolly coming in from the sale; much less going out and they still have the cheek to massively hint for donations/free labour to build the new place.
Just like its big brother in Brooklyn/Warwick, London/Chelmsford is a money realisation scheme.
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!
in this propaganda piece they continue to obsess over this damn dam!.

@Listener
I wonder if they (GB) knew this added investigation was coming down the pipe a few weeks ago and this is why the Feb 2017 WT (Study copy) had that eye catching sentence about the GB in it?
has anyone seen the paperback editions of previous and recent bookstudy pubs.
i haven't seen them here in aus?.
also i recieved a email today from my brother, who too is a enquiring jw.
That's a better resurrection than Lazarus, smiddy!
The points are good from the original poster though. The paperback stuff was an original cost cutting measure - remember those awful paperback bibles before the present silver one? And some of the books offered (like the CD-ROM still does) contained "old truths".
