anyone visited swifterbant or the video stream at the local kh?.

any high- or lowlights?.

asked my inwife if the new hall is nice (i know it's not).

Hi Anders,

I attended the semi live streaming at the local kingdom hall. Not the dedication at Saturday but the Sunday session. Also with David Splane.

I have to say, he did a nice job. Not the "theology" man from Broadcasting. He was quit, humble and made uplifting comments.

It was a long time ago Gorby went home from a Kingdom Hall with some biblical points to think about.

And that's not bad at all, for a christian, isn't it?

They told the minimalistic design of the new hall will be the new standard worldwide.

JW remark about blood transfusion

by Gorbatchov in

recent i had a conversation with an old jw friend.

he told me his mother rejected a blood transfusion in a critical fase, and survived it, and of course it's good to hear that she makes it good now.. what me triggered, was a remark he made about what the elder of the hospital committee told him.. this elder praised the mother of my old friend because of rejecting the transfusion.

the elder told them that most jehovah's witness in the netherlands take a blood transfusion when their life is at stake.

This elder praised the mother of my old friend because of rejecting the transfusion. The elder told them that most Jehovah's Witness in the Netherlands take a blood transfusion when their life is at stake. And that here rejection is with that in mind a good and rare example.

So, my observation is that although the doctrine is still there, most witnesses in more "individual" cultures like here in Holland choose to make their own decision.

I always wondered that the PR department had less influence and was less in "the air" then the 1995 - 2000 years. Jarracs?

The 1914 doctrine: How long it will last?

by opusdei1972 in

one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.

and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??

Who cares??

WT “Study” for 11th Sept 2016 – “Why Must We ‘Keep on the Watch’”?

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

i was really puzzled when i opened this edition of the wt magazine at the above “study”.

what on earth has this picture at the top of page 13 got to do with christian watchfulness?

i wasn’t making a connection at all.

Whaha great isn't it.

See the new Dutch assembly hall

...it looks like a generic, easy to sell barn hall.. https://youtu.be/eqwrfhbbqwy.

nothing like the old hall it's built next to.. the small room in the video is the indoctrination education center.. the building is completed one year ahead of schedule.

my guess: it's either much simpler than they originally planned, and/or they had more volunteers because nothing else is being built.. video is dutch, but nothing interesting is said anyway..
