JoenB75 I think that’s a very likely scenario.

Why can't we have a kingdom hall?
by road to nowhere ini was musing on how many small churches there are.
a single congregation made of moderate income people.
often the pastor has a job on the side.

Any of you JW super linguists learn to speak Japanese? If so, how’d it go? ;)
by Diogenesister inhi i’ve been learning to draw portraits, and one style i had a go at when drawing young children was a sort of kawaii or cute japanese style.
i wanted to make gifts of these drawings so looked into writing in japanese script to add to the aesthetic.. but oh wow!!
three types of script?!!

But oh wow!! Three types of script?!! Did anyone here learn to speak Japanese when they were a JW in order to preach? I’ve read Amber Scorah’s book and am blown away that she managed to master Chinese to the point of running a pod cast!! Its incredible the lengths dubs will go to, I mean you have to admit many of them have the real missionary spirit.
Anyway did any of you attempt to master Japanese and if so I’d love to hear your tips and experiences.

Finky I don’t think Road to nowhere is a watchtower supporter. I guess he’s just dreaming that the missus and her cong would cut ties with Watchtower and have their own little place, cut the umbilical cord as it were.
Stanley What I can’t understand is how the GB, like Sam Herd and David exSplain and Gerrit Lösche, who saw everything you did, can see the decline and snatch the publishers bought and paid for halls, and still believe god is running the ship.
How can they really still believe?? Or at least believe they have gods blessing??

Just to say it's a great book, too. Highly recommended by one of my favourite authors - Ian McEwan
JIMMY the whole point is that she was horrified by his feelings (hard to talk without spoilers...)
PHIZZY NO SPOILERS he said

I just think of a heart broken mother sitting grieving somewhere. Not knowing who murdered her child or doubtless where the body of her child lay (since I'll wager these were gang related murders).
All the time culprit is knocking on doors telling people they are evil sinners who will die soon if they don't become like him and his Watchtower buddies😳
I believe Ray Franz drew attention to this letter?

Kh's will be gone in 5 years! Here's how it will work
by nowwhat? inbesides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.
there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.
so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.

There is absolutely NO WAY Watchtower would sanction meeting in homes!!
That would leave them WIDE OPEN to more child abuse lawsuits...and believe me it’s more likely to happen in homes.
( hilarious they told you the book study finished due to zoning laws! It’s absolutely about lawsuits).
Its possible they’ll have “mega Church\congregations” in Watchtower owned assembly halls though.

They did have some race theory depending on how accomplished they considered the tribes to be
Sure did! And guess who were considered the worst slaves due to their all round dumb~ass ness? The Britons!! (as in from Britain...should say the Anglo saxons)
