We had a letter read at the mid-week meeting asking if any brothers have spare property the WT Society can use. It is for LDC members and possibly displaced brothers. Any empty property including holiday homes or annexes but must be in good condition.
Also spare capacity in home though the head of the house must decide on the risk to any elderly/vulnerable in the household.
If there is still a risk, which of course there is, why even ask. No mention of rental rates of course!

but that only proves the accusation that the Borg is too USA centric.
Exactly. It is not over here in England and hopefully the Branch Office will use some common sense before allowing KH meetings to resume. Regionally, here in the SE the infection rate and death rate has been well above the national average all the time the GOV.UK site has been reporting statistics.
Last night people at the ZOOM meeting were ecstatic about getting back until the congregation secretary reminded them we may not be back by 1st April, it depends on direction from the branch office. That did little to quell the excitement however.
Atlantis provided the two files on hybrid meetings and I think that is the way forward for the future. The young and fit can go to the KH and hug each other all they want. Those of us older and wiser (?) can stay at home with a cup of cocoa!

i may have put this in the wrong thread.
if so, i'm sorry.. my conundrum is this.... i am almost completely certain that an awake back in the 80's/90's mentioned a group of rock bands we shouldn't listen to and i seem to remember them actually naming guns and roses.. i can't find anything now, and i'm wondering if it's the mandela effect, or if it's another case of the cdrom versions of the awakes being doctored again.. does anyone else remember this?
or am i crazy?
AXL ROSE is an anagram of ORAL SEX
(He is lead singer of G & R for anyone unfamiliar with the group) Knocking on Heaven's Door - Live Paris 1992 probably one of my all time favourite tracks.

"A/V guidelines for resuming in-person meetings at the KH (S-260)"
"A/V instructions for hybrid meetings (S-261)"
Has anyone been able to get these documents? Maybe our friend Atlantis and his team will be able to help.

to “certain” elders by way of heads up.
feel free to ignore it or investigate it.

I think the only people glad the halls will be open are the elderly (because meetings are their social life)
They don't come much older than me and Sister England but socialising in a sealed room with no windows and a pathetic air handling system is not an attractive pastime for us! In my area people are still dying of Covid and we have no desire to join that group.
Of course it all depends on approval from the Branch Office but I suppose they will just kowtow to HQ, they are are "yes men" just like the congregation elders.

watchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?
because he is shown that way in older representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".
watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.

Well, that's ruined my evening. The worst news I've heard in two years.

Do you find anything sinister about this? A little paperwork for the secretary to fill out and now you give the Society control?
Absolutely true! It's another "simplification" lie as per when the contribution for literature was removed. In 2014 the CC launched an investigation into JW's all to do with the Moston(?) congregation in Manchester. It brought a lot of bad publicity and probably caused some JW's to wake up. The CC website for each congregation contains a fair bit of information about each registered congregation, not just financial but a list of the elders or Trustees as they are called. Removing registration stops a lot of prying eyes.
Now all the dealings with the CC are under the direct control of the WTB&TS of Britain and the KH Trust. There are a few interesting names on the Trustees of the KH Trust including Denis Dutton who many on here will know. So yes, I think it is sinister. Especially if child abuse cases raise their ugly head as per Manchester. As you rightly say the paperwork the secretary had to submit each year was really trivial.
Personally I don't think they will sell off all the KH's as yet. The March 2022 "Announcements and Reminders", Item 3, refers to two documents, "A/V guidelines for resuming in-person meetings at the KH (S-260)" and "A/V instructions for hybrid meetings (S-261)" which I have not been able to source as yet but sounds to me like they intend to resume KH meetings possibly with ZOOM for us old decrepit members!
Sorry about thinking it was you in the video.
