Why did the org "forgive" KH mortgages?

by Magnum in

i know this has been discussed, but i think it's good that topics like this get brought back up from time to time for the sake of newbies and lurkers, plus, i have a question (related at end of post).. the org brags about "forgiving" kh mortgages as if it's so loving and giving.

i put the word in quotation marks because most of us realize it wasn't forgiving anything.

the new arrangement should actually bring it far more money.. for example, suppose there are twenty congregations total.

I borrow money from a bank to buy a new house. I pay the bank back in 20 years with interest. After 20 years of making payments to the bank, now the bank owns my house. The bank then forgives my loan after I pay the house off, as long as I make the same payment each month to the bank for forever.

My Assembly Experience

by Clambake in

jw literally take forever to say nothing.

after a whole day of listening how to obtain peace , i am not sure if i obtain peace from obeying mosaic law, having a relationship to jehovah though jesus or be baptized and have a direct line to jehovah.

every speaker tries to out bore and contract the other one.

Thanks for sharing.

Why the JW's mental image of Paradise is a pipe dream

by Sour Grapes in

yesterday during the witchtower study, every one was.

talking about how wonderful paradise will be with no food.

shortages, perfect weather, no pollution, no disease, and be.

Sour Grapes

I think the Witnesses like to now say the "New Order" or the "New System of Things" instead of Paradise. How would you like to live there with the elders running the show?
