hello all, it is nice to have a forum for former jw's and see i wasn't the only one out there having serious doubts.

my parents got into it when i was about 4 years old.

my family was part of the granville ny congregation.. my dad in time became an elder.

james 5:16 states, as translated in the nwt :.

therefore, openly confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.

a righteous man's supplication has a powerful effect.

UK Manchester Irlam Congregation - 2012 Income and Expenditure blip
by Simon in

2. scandals
just noticed a blip in their income and spending for 2012 - double the usuall income and 10x the normal expenditure.. anyone know why?

is it something boring like building repairs (was a self-build ~30 years ago, probably starting to fall apart now) or something more scandalous?.

interesting what a nice little "earner" it is - generating about 10k gbp per year.

Just wanting clarification on the RBC
by joe134cd in

i have been reading threads about how the rbc operates, so i sort of have a fair idea of what the answers will be.

but i would like to have a more direct answer to my questions.. where do the orders come from that a hall is in need of a remodel, or a new one to be built.. can the elders refuse a remodel or quickly built.. out side contractors are only allowed with rbc approval.

what are the consequences if say a kh needed a new roof, and secular contractor was hired.. is it a case that orders a given that a hall needs a remodel, and that the rbc will have total control, and look out for who ever gets in the way, and elders just have to simply comply.. this is the question i most want answered.
