The cbc (communist broadcasting channel) is definitely way out in left field. Government propaganda is what they are.
I like the independent channels like Rebel Media. They go after the real issues.

32Do You For The Most Part Trust The News Media?
by minimus inthe media is very powerful.
many news people just want to get a scoop even if their breaking story isn’t checked out for accuracy.
some journalists are precise and double check whatever they are reporting.

2 Gallons of Coffee
by Solzhenitsyn inthat is how much coffee me and another elder went through as we camped out all night until 7 a.m. outside the home where suspected jw fornicators we're staying.
little did i know what a powerful contrast that would prove to be when as an elder i was faced with another case involving the allegation of severe child sexual abuse.
we disfellowshipped the couple based completely on circumstantial evidence of sexual wrongdoing because they simply "stayed the entire night".

This happened to some people I know except it backfired on the elders. As an engaged couple her car was parked outside his place all night long and witnessed by 2 elders.
Turns out she was having mechanical problems with her car and they had switched vehicles.
Apparently horny, young adults don’t have sex during the day.

Yes, I believe I was stunted but as Simon mentioned there were benefits too. One of them is that I didnt take up smoking or gambling.

Were You A Gullible JW?
by minimus ini think every congregation has their group that sees everything as a sign that they are god’s chosen people.
if a witness didn’t go to a meeting and a storm came and destroyed their house and killed them, and only the kingdom hall was saved, that was a sign that we should be in jehovah’s house.
if russia persecuted jws , it’s proof we are living in the last days.

I generally follow the scriptures and call out the elders on their bullshit rules. They don’t really like it but how can you argue against the word of Jehovah.

You should gift them to Governing body member Stephen Lett. All he would need then is a pair of colourful, baggy pants and a red nose to complete his wardrobe.

Our congregation will be deleted
by Rattigan350 inlast night was the co's visit.
prior to his part, an elder had a part on following theocratic direction.
it was about our congregation being deleted (there are 2 sharing this hall) and the people and territory being divided up to the 4 other surrounding ones.. they say it is not about numbers but about making best use of resources.

The way it used to work was the empty Kingdom Hall would belong to the congregation that currently held the territory.
The local brothers would be responsible for maintenance and utilities until it sold.
After they did all the work and took some personal risk they would hand over a tidy profit to the branch.

Kinda reminds me of when I was factory foreman in a failing company I once worked for ( before they went tits up)
The manager would tell the staff not to listen to the rumors of the financial health of the company so the employees wouldn’t quit and he and his wife could extract everything they could before the bank came in and changed the locks on the office doors

Dog food and veterinarian bills cost money. Money we could use to live a lifestyle you don’t deserve.

Kingdom Hall Renovation
by geevee inhi all, quick question related to renovating k halls.. my in-laws live in another city and the two congs there are in a ten week process of completely renovating the hall.
the plaster board has been taken off, all the toilets and air cons even the roofing iron and insulation are being pulled out and dumped to be totally replaced.
it seems like overkill to say the least.

They’re probably looking to sell it.
