Why can't we have a kingdom hall?

by road to nowhere in

i 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.

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...)

Elders Know of Serial Killer & Told to Keep Quiet

by Sea Breeze in

.

Diogenesister

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? in

besides 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.

Diogenesister

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.

People that are shunned and those that shun mimic slavery

by Yomama in

jw
friends

so im reading this book 1619 about slavery then it dawned on me that shunning like slavery emotionally rips apart families.

if you look at romans 1:32 study note under natural afection they tell on themselves if you cannnot love your familey you cannot love others wow just wow try shareing that point with your pimi relatives..

Diogenesister

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)

😂😂😂 still ADD This tickled me silly to think of the terrified dubs tip-toeing by, in case they get demon possessed!!

It's not very per their theology, though! What if there is someone with the right "heart condition" there! Why is a spiritualist any more Babylon-the-Great than Catholics or Hindus!!!

I'd never heard of this being in the UK👀!

What did you think before you woke up? Or were you not living nearby before?

Anyway this ones subject is the Western New York connection with JWs. One thing that tickled me was this Town Lili Dale, which is the HQ of the National spiritualist Association. I think the organization/faith began during the '2nd Awakening' (the era when the Bible students also began)around 1870, mostly as a result of the fame of the three Fox Sisters. Everyone who lives in the town is a spirit medium now and they have their yearly conference there, too.

The local JWs refuse to preach there!!! They are not permitted to even enter the town!

NB I notice it's termed "spirit-UAL-ist" not "Spiritist" as the witnesses term it. Anyone know why witnesses call it "spiritism" like that? It always irritated and puzzled me when I was in.

Anyway do sub to this channel and have a look, you won't be disappointed!
