What will watchtower do when they’ve sold off all the Kingdom Halls?
a quick answer: they will start ordering the rank and file to sell their houses.
just got a phone call this morning from a very upset anointed brother.
he said he didn't believe me when i told him about the pedo problem and selling off of halls.
he said he was disgusted with the watchtower and had to go to a special meeting last night.

You’re not broke until you’ve got nothing left to sell.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the branch reviewed the contributions from each Kingdom Hall as well as the demographics of the congregation to see if the congregation is viable in the long term.
It seems that there is a renovation that takes place shortly before the property is put up for sale and before the publishers are aware that their congregation will be dissolved. This makes the property easier to sell and it gets the publishers to donate money that they wouldn’t under normal circumstances.
have you ever heard the phrase:.
well, since i can't sleep tonight - you're gonna hear my version of what it means.. .
so, just suck it up and deal.. .
I’m with blondie on this one. Humans tend to block out the bad times. Two generations before me had:
No running water
An outhouse
Poor medical care
A grade 8 education
No central heating in small drafty house
But they had a radio and that made it all better
i live in the usa.
is it perfect!
nope.
I’ve never lived anywhere but canukistan. Born and raised here. I haven’t made any effort to move anywhere else and illegal immigrants want to enter so It mustn’t be that bad of a country.
ordinarily i figure people are going to find their own way and that their life course is a matter of personal responsibility but occasionally i run into something that smacks me upside the head a little bit.
yesterday i heard something about a young man that i knew decades ago.he was from a prominent family in the organization, the father was a successful businessman and you would see them frequently on the platform at circuit assemblies, etc.
to be honest, i didn't particularly like the young man, i preferred the father, but the guy was bright and capable, we had mutual friends.
This kind of thing also happens in “the world” more than we realize. Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations

excellent general website: www.jwfacts.com .
Encourage victims of abuse to come forward so that a Judicial Committee can be formed is my first thoughts when I read the article.
what are the craziest books or magazines the tower ever printed?
i know of the millions now living is crazy the finished mystery.

The last time we studied the “Revelation Book” it was already old light but they sent an insert in the Kingdom ministry and we cut out the corrections and scotch taped them in the book to cover over the old light.
I think it was 2006 ish. Maybe a bit earlier but it was one of the things that started me to wake up.
just curious if anyone has ever been to an assembly with zero baptisms.
if not, i see that happening soon and cant wait for that awkward day!.
I was at one a few years ago. The assigned speaker still had to give the talk. I thought they could have cut everyone some slack and broke for lunch early.
my dad was talking to an elder who was trying to convince him the wt is the only organization god is using to save mankind..
so my dad asked him; “would you still believe if there was a nuclear war and it destroyed 50-75 percent of the earth’s inhabitants including all the watchtower’s main offices?
elder said; “that will never happen, that can never happen, because the bible tells us the steps of armageddon.
If an inebriated Tony Morris went on a drunken rant in his underwear at a regional convention not one jw would bat an eye.
