  Very dark and confusing info...

  some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.

  - in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.

  - which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.

  Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit

  by Listener in

  the degradation of the governing body members continues on.

  mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.

  in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  The up side for me is that with a devalued pound I can probably afford to take a trip to England now.

  Being Bad in the Kingdom Hall

  2. experiences

  what things did (do) you or someone you know do in the kingdom hall that was a no-no?.

  i remember in the 80s when, during the meeting, three friends and i were breakdancing in the foyer.

  3 out of 4 us are happily out of that organization.. as i was trudging through my fade and attending meetings, i sometimes dwelled on how much time and money i wasted during my years as a jw.

  i used to try really hard to fit in when i was an active, true blue jw.

  somehow it hardly ever paid off.

  time after time i attempted to mingle and make jw friends.

  Did others experience this on the ministry or among JWs generally?

  by slimboyfat in

  sometimes it's hard to know if our own experience of jws was typical and what features were peculiar to our own area or the individual jws we knew personally.

  i was wondering if others experienced this among jws:.

  a few times on the ministry, when we were working wealthy areas with large houses, some brothers and sisters would make the comment that they look forward to taking ownership of one of these big houses after armageddon, when the worldly people have vacated them.

  They probably got the tools donated to them in the first place. In a year or so they will ask for donations of tools for the Ldc. Then sell them Rinse repeat.

  Tor1500

  jerusalem was destroyed in 587. The reason that Jws say 607 is that it lines up with their 1914 prophecy which originally was conjured up by measuring the amount of inches of a chamber in one of the pyramids in Egypt.

  I think it will force digital too. At the convention this weekend there was an older couple in front of me that were visibly disturbed that the new release was only available for download and no physical copied available---ever

  I can see the split between the hard core believers and the rest of us happening too. At the convention they mentioned it more than once that bad associations can be right among those in the congregation.
