  London Ohio and Indianapolis Assemby Halls to be sold

  by munchausen in

  2. friends

  announce was made this week that the assembly halls in london, ohio and indianapolis indiana will be sold and a new 3000 seat assembly hall will be built in southwest ohio.

  the assembly hall in london ohio was built in the 70's and is in fine shape - nothing wrong with it.

  the new one will cost around 8-9 million.

  JW TV - Britain Branch Report

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  although it is titled as "britain branch report" it's not much of a report.

  it only goes for just over 6 minutes and half of it is some 'wild talk' about romeo and juliette, i say wild talk because it has nothing to do with the british branch and if there was any point to it, it's lost on me.. anyway, about the only thing said that is of any importance was this (at the 2.20 mark) -.

  "the governing body, very kindly, have given us permission to continue construction once we have reviewed the scope of the building so we hope to be underway very soon".

  The uptake...

  by Thisismein1972 in

  with recent events pointing at watchtower growth, i felt compelled to say a few words.. if the figures turn out to be true, then we should not be discouraged.

  after 9/11 there was a surge in, not only the watchtower, but other demonisation of organised religion.

  whenever there is a a paradigm shifting event that puts fear into others, this tends to have a life changing affect on an individual.. now let us zoom to the present.

  I doubt that there is much growth because of the closure of 20 branches around the world and the downsizing of both the uk and the south africa branches.The downsizing of the south africa branch is really telling because it look after 20 different countries in southern africa.Iknow for a fact that there has been downsizing in the south africa branch because they have told you that on the jw own website and they even tried to put a spin on it by saying hard working these people that used to be at bethel are

  if people get left behind be careful

  2. bible

  in this world there are becoming two sorts of people the ones with stupid amounts of money and the ones with very little money and the people in charge are going to get even more shocks if they dont share the money out in a more fair way.ive seen in the press that obama will be getting a house that costs over $4 million dollars and how many people are having to live on basic wage.there is plenty of money going around its just not shared out enough,rather than a lottery giving out a prize of $50 or $100 million dollars just think how many people would be blessed if that was dividid in $50,000 prizes and there would be more chances to win as well.some people have to work for a whole year or even two to get that amount of money .

  More speculation on Kingdom Hall closers and money grabbing?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  there continues to be more and more rumors of more halls being sold off some even taking the first offer.

  the borg trying to get thier bond money back from the court in san diego asap and there's been elders meetings about this consolidation.

  my questions is why after selling off all this real estate in new york for over a billion dollars are they still acting like thier broke?

  The magazines are undated so could be used at any time in the future and how they look after them on the carts they could last for years, the carts around me are giving away books printed in 2006

  so let me get this straight.. the borg moves into their new corporate country club....

  by nowwhat? in

  2. beliefs

  with their luxurious lakeside condos.

  takes all the congregations funds promising new kingdom halls.

  but instead starts selling off kingdom halls ..then makes faithful old brothers and sisters drive 20-30 miles to another one, and .kicks out half the bethelites for only only tech savy college educated ones.can barely afford to send out printed publications anymore.

  I think the word you are looking for is thick,in my area on the carts they are still giving 10 year old teaching books away and even if they only go the jw website they know of so many savings that the borg have made
