Our congregation implemented this some time back. We had a Local Needs to explain all about it. My concern is how secure are people's personal data and is this registered (if needed) with the GDPR.

i heard on the meeting about apps called nwpublisher and cartsmart.
new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.
congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.

interesting new legal protection:.

So everyone stops paying council tax and utilities bills. What then happens? The power goes off, no gas, no water, the bins are not emptied and on it goes. In no time we would become more of a third world country than we already are.
Bring back Margaret Thatcher, the Poll Tax and return our beloved country to what it used to be before it was screwed up by the likes of Blair, Cameron, Sunak.
Whatever happens I am am too old to be affected by it but I feel for the youngsters who in a couple of decades will be living in a Muslim hell hole.
End of rant.

the recent broad casts about not handing in time sheets, and then about beards, especially the beards, it seems so trivial, are those talks only released in order to distract the followers from the recent court case they lost on spain, from the csa cases, the kh sales and so on?.
i reckon they're taking their lead from the media, distract and divide tactics..

Unless you are on a site such as this you will never hear anything about the case in Spain, the CSA cases, Norway or anything else of that type. Should anyone dare to mention such they would be accused of promoting "apostate lies".

Hi cantleave, I remember you well. You left! I am still here as a PIMO, I joined the year after you. Since you left the religion has got more whacky by the day. You're better away from it all.
All the best from George

can't find any references, so you'll just have to trust me on this one.
i remember, probably at least two decades ago, a small news snippet about someone was going around brooklyn heights and setting fire to christmas wreaths on people's doors.
i've always personally suspected* that it was a bored/semi-insane bethelite.
Here in the UK there are plenty of people that dislike Christmas or anything else connected to Christianity. i really cannot imagine even the wackiest JW bothering to do anything like this.

did you ever go to the haysbridge assembly hall in surrey?.
post your experiences.
the assembly hall i believe used to be a reformed school for boys and was completely renovated and dedicated in 1985.. it was the only assembly hall i knew of that sold souvenir pens, book marks and notepads.. .
It's still in use. We have our CA's and SAD's there.

It is to my belief,, that this Rutherford was separated from his wife and kid(s) through the latter years of his life.
As I remember JFR was split from his wife, NY winters were too cold for him due to health problems caused by his incarceration.
He had one son, Malcolm, who worked with CTR as his stenographer at one time. He married his wife Pauline and I have seen a photo of them on here with JFR in Hawaii at a convention. After 1942 Malcolm seems to get little mention but Mary Rutherford is mentioned in the Proclaimers Book, I think she died in the 1960's.

Here in the UK they have four homes, though the reviews and inspections in past years has not been great.
A look at the Companies House website makes me wonder just how it "functions"

forgive the insensitivity of this but does the wt imagine the "resurrected" bodies of the dead will have useless genitalia?
or will the humans 2.0 have the smooth appearance of a ken doll or the nipple-less breasts of a barbie.
any breasts at all?
In the old 1958 Paradise book there are two pictures, one in the Garden of Eden the other in the New World. I cannot remember the page numbers and the book is tucked away in the loft.
In the GoE picture we see Adam, a Cock (eral) and a Squirrel with a couple of nuts.
In the New World picture we see the Cock (eral) is there along with the Squirrel still with his two nuts.
This was supposed to indicate that we will still be as we are now, so to speak.
Perhaps someone can post the two pictures for those unfamiliar with old paradise book.
