who owns a kingdom hall is it the local people or is it the watchtower via the branch office.
Most are deeded to the organization. They are trying to get them all under their control after the KH in Texas was taken over by the trustees on the deed to become a different church.
I forget the name of the town, but I am sure someone else will comment and fill in the blanks.

It was Bonham Texas, here is a link: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/195351/real-story-on-why-watchtower-society-lost-kingdom-hall-bonham-texas
we were taught sickness and death is a result of the sin inherited from adam and eve, so why do animals get cancer?
they are supposedly still as big j intended, so therefore cancer is a creation by the big fella himself?.
just an exercise for one's who believe in the whole bible story thing.. (not me)... any others anomalies you can think of ?
Poor Jup-jup!

picture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.
there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.
it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.
I am surprised that they didn't get trampled!

many years back, my younger brother and i were the most mischievous kids in the kingdom hall.
we would mischievously take away things like the bible , study magazines, etc from meeting attendees.
soon, they will suspect us if anything went missing.. our parents were annoyed with our conduct and behaviour.. they requested an elder to talk to us.
Maybe he is in the privy?

i feel like i’ve overcome a massive hurdle in my awakening, and that’s the issue of dating a non witness woman.. the org has always demonised dating “worldly” people so that we won’t be unevenly yoked.
heck, it’s just a date, marriage is a loooong way off!!.
going to an off the beaten track part of london to avoid bumping into anyone, nice 3 course meal and a little drink after :-).
Let us know how the date went.
JK
has anybody done this?
i'd love to hear the story.
i wonder how they'd scramble to fix that if somebody chugged the whole glass, and even more if was set up with two people to sit in places to get both glasses at the same time.
Yes, it's been done before, and there is was a video on YouTube.
JK
to whom it may concern : after seeing the expose' on ctv`s program w5 called "no witnesses", i would like to find some way to obtain a few copies of the handouts which were used by the "vast apostate army".
can anyone send me a contact email to the "vast apostate army" and to zeb leatherman or parker bryan or tricia franginha ( spelling ?
t. just today i watched the "recruitment video" for the "vast apostate army"; the sound quality on my laptop was not the greatest but i say kudos to all those mostly younger people and a couple middle aged guys for taking this stand.. for a few years i have been in fairly regular contact by email with rev.
Cult exit counseling is much better than another turd religion trying to save me! And it is much cheaper in the long run. Peddle your wares elsewhere!
Speaking of Attack and Destroy, let's see how well Rick Fearon does tonight. I wonder if he will be in front of another empty Kingdom Hall?

the lyrics to the song, "twinkle, twinkle, little star," are an example of apostrophe (not an apostrophe).
learn something new every day!.
twinkle, twinkle, little star, how i wonder what you are.

could be good for a laugh , .

I only got through 5 minutes of it, it gave me the creeps!.

in therapy, i was told i should write a letter of grievances to each of my parents.
i really do not have any for my mother, except for things that directly relate to being raised as a jehovah's witness.
upon reflection, my childhood was hell because of the religion and its pernicious corruption of a normal childhood.
Heather: Thanks for the link.
Atlantis: You're welcome.
