  kingdom hall insurance....??

  by punkofnice in

  2. beliefs

  i seem to recall that there was an assistance fund set up for insurance on kingdom halls that were essentially set up as insurance.. where you were not to insure the khs by normal insurance companies.does anyone know about this and does any kh claim againt the fund i.e.

  the watchtower?.

  sounds like a scam!.

  My mother and sister in law filed a claim because huge picture over literature counter fell on their backs. They paid 12,000.

  The insurance shows the org has a vested interest in the KH properties. This will help them win if a KH says it wants to sell it's hall. They all belong to the org as they never take their name off the deed now when they loan you money to remodel. It is becoause of the Texas and Florida cong. getting ownership.

  They paid everything in those days and the society paid nothing, so that is why they now insure the KH to show vested interest in care and insuring. (side-bar)

  not sure of the point of telling my story, but just got off the phone with my grandma and i am so angry, stressed and i don't know what else...i guess i just wanted to hear from someone other than my husband that i'm not crazy for my reaction to family interaction.. my condensed story gramatical errors and all :).

  father was a born in jw, mother was a convert.

  i was born the last of 3 siblings and shortly after my birth in 1981 my parents divorced.

  When and where is the War in Heaven, supposedly?

  by jam in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  1)when did this war breakout or did i miss it.. many commentators conclude that the battle between michael.

  and the dragon occurs roughly at the start of the church age.. some even argue that the battleground is the church itself.. others say this scene describes the dispute between michael.

  and satan for the body of moses (jude 9) or the long-ago.

  I agree with one poster that it happened not in 1914 but sometimes shortly after Jesus ascended and the "Dark Ages" of mankind began. Revelation is a book of symbols and Michael normally stands for Christ.

  BTW: Volume seven was written by Rutherford and some others. Russell was deceased when it was written and published.

  resurrection.

  the lives of the people of arcadia, missouri, are forever changed when their deceased loved ones return.. .

  so far it seems to be an interesting take on the subject.

  this story is loosely based on a series of boooks written by John Class", a Bible Student that is deceased. "Alive Again", "Adam and Eve- Live Again", "Fingers stained with Evil", "From Ashes to Beauty" and "When the Thousand Years Expire". Put each of these in your browser at Amazon to see the cover and cliff note. I have all of these books and know the Author's wife and sons.

  If he needs funds to make it, we will put the word out and everybody give something to help him. Please let us know how to feed him first then we want to hear his story. He has more friends than he realizes and I am going to miss copying the letters from this site for our site. Boo-hoo.

  My Former Congregation is Dead

  by Nosferatu in

  2. friends

  when i left the jw organization, there were about 80 publishers in my congregation.

  within the last month, the congregation was abolished because it only had 29 publishers in it.

  the apparent reason for this was one elder on a power trip.

  I live in Indiana and 2 weeks ago two congregations became one. Attendance used to be 150 and 117 at the lowest. They went down to 35 and 40. There were when I went there 7 pedophiles in this one congregation 2 as elders. The former Bethelite will not serve since they combined because he had successfully bullied all the pedophiles to one cong now they are together and he went to another congregation. He says he simply will not serve with so called reformed pedophiles and what is described as a non practicing homsexual pedophile. My brother's cong all meet in one giant KH. 7 cong were blended to become 4 english and one spanish. They meet on 3 on Sunday and 2 meet on Saturday. This is in Alabama. The cong sizes are 50 -60. This city has however about 11 cong in surrounding metropolitan areas. So if I started selling all my stuff, downsizing from a 5 bedroom house an all my stuff fitting in a two bedroom home you would say I am having some sort of trouble. And so is the society.
