what's with all this new kingdom hall building?
just watched jw broadcasting about their master plan for building new kingdom halls.
sounds like a big deal.
Around here in New England there's been KH consolidations all over. There's been a couple of years when nothing much has been done except volunteers giving two or more weeks to help out at Warwick.
Concerning the new KH plans, nothing much has been talked about, never mind being approved, although every KH with more than 5 grand in the bank has had to fork their "excess" over to Momma WT.
The new dentist-office/bank-branch flat-roof KH design makes absolutely no sense for our ice-and-heavy-snow winters. What are they thinking?
(my apologies if this was already discussed somewhere else.).
i noticed that the domain www.mt2414.com was taken, and when i tested it, it was a mirror of the log in portion of the www.jw.org site, where you can look up assemblies, kingdom halls, and make either one time or recurring donations.
so i created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification).
i've finally got round to joining the site (after over 2 years lurking!
i was born into jws, pioneered for 10 years (met my husband at pioneer school).
had health issues that saw me catapulted away from 'the centre of the cong' and wow what a different place that was!
Welcome and best wishes free of the WT!
hi all, nothing to report just now.
wanted to add name to list of those awakening.
been lurking for nearly a year.
Bienvenu, et si tu es oisif,*
I'd say go get a job!
:-)
But seriously, welcome to JWD.
I'm glad you're awakening.

*oisif = idle, jobless bum.
First impression was, wow, Watchtower artists are having 1960's bad acid trip flashbacks. But now looking at it again I'm left wondering if...
Due to the head-bands the cranium suffered from compression leading to chronic head-aches and susceptibility to satanic influence. The GB 3.0 had warned not to exert unnecessary pressure on their recently resurrected noggins and rebels decided to disregard the Channel's Direction to their mortal detriment.
And the guy with the mustache and the goatee is definitely asking for it, didn't he know it was rebellious and anti JW.0rg to grow facial hair?

BTW posting this during our meeting and the little girl in the row in front of me just pooped her diapers which for quite a little one it was a quite audible bowel movement--immediately after the moving part about the leper getting touched--quite moving. I'm thinking about moving myself to another row if her mom or dad don't do something quick about the wafting odor and go change the poor kid. You gotta have a sense of humor I'd say!
I would have suggested you moon him.
lol!
the subbing wt conductor just stumbled over the title of the wt study and said "let your name be spanktified.
let your name be spp... stank... sanctified".. all right, so everyone gets tongue tied at some point, if we don't use the words we read as part of our daily vocabulary.

All right, so everyone gets tongue tied at some point, if we don't use the words we read as part of our daily vocabulary. Poor guy had everyone laughing out loud! At least it was a funny start to the usual boring as heck WT study!
is it possible to move from baptized publisher to unbaptized status perpetually?
what do elders do when you inform them that your baptism was invalid?
They'll try to argue with you and tell you it's not invalid.
at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.
it's expected this will continue to happen.
the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.
So the figures this too-young-to-be-an-elder elder gave the congregation had been bothering me for quite some time. I finally had a chance to ask him Saturday.
He told me the figure of 3500 bucks was a total year rounded off figure. I asked him if the shortage was due to the CO telling the BOE not to order so many each month in order to cut costs. He looked at me like I was an impertinent brat. (Mind you, I'm twice his age, and probably twice his weight).
So I pressed on, I'm not intimidated by a snotty nosed, bony faced, pencil-neck, pretentious and conceited nincompoop. How is it we've been placing more magazines each month than the number received, doesn't that mean the figures are inflated? He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.
It sounds to me like publishers are reporting magazines they never got, doesn't it? He took in a big breath through a barely open m-dash of a mouth, and held it for a moment, his head shook as if trying to dismiss from his mind an answer he'd quickly thought better not to give me.
He turned and started to walk away from me. So if the Xxxxxxxxx Congregation didn't have extras either to give us , how are publishers placing what we didn't get? His only response was a quick sideways glance back at me at me as he walked away.
I guess he didn't think I was worthy to share any information with.
