  So if one decided he/she wanted to go to one of these special events & just turned up, how would they responde? is there a guest list & if you are not on it, be kicked out? or would walkups be welcome?

  Are all jws in the host country invited? or are the same criteria be inforced on the local jws?

  I have not been to a jw assembly/convention since (I think) 1990, I find it very hard to believe they now have elitist (in good standing) conventions. Even more reason I am so glad I am out of the BULLSHIT.

  My home country New Zealand is NOT invited to any WAHOO

  "There is evidence of a Creator if you just look for it"

  by unsure in

  (for the record, i’m agnostic who is earnestly seeking an objective, honest and concrete hope for something greater).

  “there is evidence of a creator if you just look for it”.

  many of us have heard similar sentences from believers regarding proof of creator, proof that their religion is the correct one, proof that their particular sect is the right one, proof that their individual sects interpretation of a certain religious text is the right one, proof that their own personal interpretation of a certain religious text is the right one; the list goes on.. in one of my previous posts, i shared the following thought of mine:.

  if a there really is a creator it is an extremely poor communicator

  So what is so special about these Special Conventions?

  the only thing I can think of is

  "bigA is just around the corner" & "give us your cash the ATM is just over there"

  Are congregations in Spain suffering an increase in banking fees since Watchtower 'seized' their bank savings?

  by jwleaks in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  remember a few years ago watchtower literally 'siezed' all individual congregation bank savings around the world above what was needed to cover basic kingdom hall monthly expenses?

  a new march 30, 2017, boe letter has just gone out to congregations in spain, which, more or less, explains that congregations bank account funds no longer entitle congregations to reduced banking fees.

  (see copy of actual paragraph below.).
