a letter was just read at my midweek meeting that georgetown (canada bethel) will have renovations done on it beginning spring 2017. the letter asked for publishers who are electricians/plumbers/etc.
and in good standing to apply to help out.
those helping out will be considered "part-time commuters" and will only be at the property for about 3 days a week and must reside outside of bethel and pay for all their own expenses.
The CO mentioned it twice. The second time he told parents of teenaged boys to encourage their kids into the needed trades so they could help at bethel construction when they turned 18.
They must have delayed the renovations due to lack of funds or COVID.

I’m at a circuit assembly and the circuit overseer is still begging for free labour on this project. He says it will take 6 or 7 years to complete.
They must be behind of schedule as this thread is 7 years old.
the watchtower—study edition | may 2023. .
study article 21. how jehovah answers our prayers.
14 a sister named soo hing felt that jehovah helped her by means of her doctor.
Did Jehovah help soo hing or did the taxpayers of the country she resides in?
It certainly wasn’t Jehovahs earthly organization because they fight tooth and nail to avoid paying taxes but are quick to send their members to collect benefits and give the credit to their sky daddy.
Sick bastards
this psychiatrist makes sense to me.. https://youtu.be/l5wcqc6m-gi.
I have an older relative who’s been a jw since childhood. This person has had so much jw induced trauma in their life due to following the rules of the religion. They have so much sunk costs for all the sacrifices they have made they will never leave or see ttatt .
I’ve observed several closeted alcoholics in the ranks of older jws. Just trying to cope I would assume.
The irony is that the current topic or recent topic for conversation in the ministry is about mental health.
is this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.
which he said would never occur again?
(matthew 24:21).
Maybe it will be the great tribulation as mentioned in acts 7:11, yes the great tribulation that watchtower never mentions. Food shortages and famine.
I hate how they criticize other religions for cherry picking scriptures but are masters of it themselves.
diane abbot has been temporarily suspended from the labour party whilst they investigate her behaviour.. what's she done?.
it was leaked that a first draft of a letter she was going to write had the claim that jews can't experience racism.. the influence of crt is obvious.
according to this warped worldview, there are two types of people, oppressors and oppressed.
Crazy, as they have been one of the most oppressed groups in history, and that is why they do so well financially. They work together as a group and that leads to their success

My older brother had kiss, fleetwood mac, and prism.
My mom burnt them in the back yard when he was at work.
the worldwide recruiting attempt of jehovah’s witnesses to bring their religious message to the deaf using sign language can be viewed as something of a mixed bag.
while they strive to communicate it using the right methods, they convey an illusionary message that is detrimental in countless ways.[1].
jehovah’s witnesses international “deaf ministry” as directed by the watch tower bible and tract society, inc., is no small feat because there are over 200 distinct sign languages in the world.
My observations of publishers and pioneers that join foreign or special language groups is that their desire to help that group of people is secondary to their desire to use that “privilege” as a means to gain a greater social standing in the Jehovah’s Witness community.
if a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.
my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.
the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.
The 2 main rules to be successful in life are:
1. Shut your big fucking mouth. and
2. Shut the fuck up!
anybody remember hearing this?.

is that comment in print anywhere?.
