they announced last week that the new atanta assembly hall has thus far raised 3.4 million dollars.
my local told that will become the society's come may 1. i wonder how that will go over with the ones who have been contributing to this fund..
Bessemer was a horrible place, I can't see how they can make any money on it's sale. Years ago I was told the cost of upkeep wasn't worth it but it had to resale value.
im amazed that SC can have two and yet Ga only has one assembly hall. In the past I assumed that it was because GA had nice rental facilities available, but I was always shocked at far they were willing to make people drive. for example Rome or Bessemer.

Ray Nagin was in the news a lot here in Ga.
I echo Konceptual's question, is this because of the new donation arrangement?
a few things noticed in last nights annual, jesus who?
gathering:.
1: only one scripture from the gospels was read or cited.
Later on when the speaker directed us to the verses to be read while the emblems were passes, my SO leans over again and says "yeah, because why would we want to read it from the Gospels?"
Unless it has changed in the new "silver sword" this is the only place mistranslated to say "keep doing this" the gospels don't show it as a recurring thing.
We didn't, they know where we live and have been skipping our house for a few years.

since being out mentally and missing meetings my children mention people from the hall and i cant help but feel bad that they are missing the association.
my daughters are 4 and 2 and we live in a small town with not a whole lot to do.
what activities did you do with your kids?
For us it was getting to know the other parents form school. Getting the kids together for playtime outside of school.
the insidious bind the watchtower religion places on their members is unconscionable.. holding family and friends "hostage" as an extortion strategy may be their most potent weapon of enforced conformity.. .
in effect, like an armed criminal who points a gun at you and threatens "your money or your life", the watchtower leadership.
holds the power to separate dissenting members from those whom they most cherish.. the "gun" is the shun.. pointing the shun at you and threatening to cut you off from your loved ones is a psychological brutality.. absolute obedience is required.. .
I remember when you posted this a couple of years ago, it made an impression on me. I even saved it.
this week our kh devoted the whole service meeting to the upcoming international convention in atlanta.
they read a 5 page letter from the branch which stated basically that we should feel priviledged to be invited to this convention.. however, many are not using the "recomended lodging list", "many hotels still have plenty of rooms available", "we must be loyal to this arrangement", (or the organization will not get their comp rooms)..
Bump, anyone else form geogia that can tell me more about the parking situation at the dome?
"the first step toward apostasy is a drop in field service activity.
i have read that statement in wts publications and heard it many times from the platform.
i haven't studied philosphy so i'm not sure what type of logical fallacy this is an example of, but it is one for sure.
I remember that statement from a poster here recently telling about their SAD.
I've not sure I read that, the usual printed schtick is something like "they don't feel they have go door to door"
