  2. bible

  new wt october 2023....first an article remembering 1923....they make changes, the had a "prayer, praise and testimony weekly meeting".. after an study article about obey, specially paragraph 18.. i have a wild guess, next year, just one weekly meeting for the borg..

  I could see the WT Society going to a single meeting per week, probably 2 hours in length just like we used to do.

  This could be Saturday morning/afternoon/evening, Sunday likewise. Or they may allow congregations to choose their own day and time. As for the public, when did any walk into a KH? Any 'private' notifications could be circulated on the Congregation Gossip What'sApp site.

  One KH could serve for plenty of congregations depending on travelling distances.

  My only question is how do the WT Society benefit from this? Other than the sale of a few KH's which is a one time sale of appreciating assets.

  After the chart was discontinued we had a small form which was filled in each month and placed on the KH notice board. As with the chart it was the responsibility of the Assistant Congregation Servant.

  I wonder if Atlantis or anyone else has a copy of his form.

  I remember it well. We had sheets of red and black numbers and each month carefully cut out the required digits and pasted them on the chart.

  That congregation was about the same size as ours, just shows how much effort was put in and how much literature placed.

  Some years prior to this (1950's) we rented our KH so the chart was mounted on a pole, rolled up at the end of the meeting and taken away until the next meeting.

  I don't know if Ray Franz ever came to Great Britain but I cannot remember ever hearing him.

  Any idea what year this might be? Has to be prior to 1980 when he resigned.

  Is WT Using ATTENDANTS At The Conventions To Be: "TOY COPS"

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.

  on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".

  also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.

  We had this announcement prior to our RC:-

  Safety and security are a very high priority for both us and the Amex venue. For this reason it is absolutely essential that delegates wear convention Lapel Badges at all times, including volunteers for pre-or post-convention activities on site; these should be viewed in the same way as an entry ticket. As in previous years, bag checks will be undertaken on entry to the venue. Please try to limit the size and number of bags as far as possible. Please note that flasks and metal cutlery of any sort are not permitted. Drinks in plastic bottles of 500 ml or less are allowable.

  Lots of empty seats at Jehovah's Witnesses Convention in Tucson, Arizona

  the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.

  I watched the streamed US Convention a few weeks ago. Not sure where it was recorded but there were 1,500 - 1,600 depending on the day. Only 4 baptised.

  It was torture, over 70 videos. They had missed off the two videos connected with the Saturday afternoon talk which showed a young sister refusing to pick up the phone when her mother called. DF'ed or DA'ed.

  we from the old year books that some kgb undercover agents became elders in high up positions.. i wonder if this is going on today?

  not just in russia but other congregations around the world?.

  when you think how long it takes to become an elder and all the talks and maybe judicial committees they were involved with.. anyway i’m just throwing it out there if someone wanted to pay me i am a current elder who is pima about intelligence or chance involved with the origin of the universe.. .

  I think the country was Romania where the split took place. Eventually the problem was resolved and it was Gerit Losch that gave the emotional talk about it.

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 37. rely on jehovah, as samson did.

  4 consider an example of samson’s trust in jehovah and of the support that god supplied.

  on one occasion, a philistine military force had come to capture samson at lehi, evidently in judah.

  @Beth Sarim - That is true but I don't think nischansr is at that stage yet, do you? I think he is a PIMI.

  ....despite the cult's denials.. w51 6/15 p. 378 par.

  23 the spirit, the organization, and the word - his theocratic organization recognizes your authority from his word, the bible.

  so it uses you as one of its representatives in the field and it co-operates with you, supplies your needs, and renders you assistance..

  Back in the 1960's or even later, we had "Identification Cards" that we always carried to identify us as representatives of the WT.

  We were then told to destroy them, I cannot remember the year though. Maybe someone will be able to remember. Probably too much of a liability for the Society.

  @nischansr - I think you may be on the wrong site here. This is the sort of "apostate site" that the WT Society is continually warning you against.
