  Boys and their toys, lol. Surely they would hardly use it, if at all. Having several fire hydrants and hoses would suffice.

  LQ At the local KHs, ALL donations were to go toward the Worldwide Work. ALL of them. Even any dropped in the Local Congregation slot

  I guess they want payment for their 3 hour presentation.

  Thanks for the updates.

  It's no wonder they don't want this recorded, they would never dare to print this stuff.

  I can't believe they didn't say anything about bathers.

  Memorial Partakers

  do they want to attract attention to themselves or are they just crazy?.

  my sister just had a spiritual orgasm since she met a brother at a party who'd took part in the emblems.. .

  i'm an atheist so i know its a load of bs, but what do you think this guy's objective is?.

  There's no physical evidence of them being anointed, so it's a spiritual thing. This means they are being communicated to spiritually. However, they keep changing their doctrines which means there cannot be any spiritual communication.

  3.Old Kingdom Halls will be sold (who defines which is old ? It sounds more like a pretext for selling off prime land)

  What's the bet that those old halls will be the ones that aren't already owned by the WTBTS?

  Punkofnice makes a good point about the home printing of literature. At some point the Org. will knuckle down on getting the publishers to print more from their personal computers. It has the potential of saving them huge amounts of money and to downsize Bethel offices.

  It might not be related to any doctrinal changes but it could be begging for more money.

  BOTR, although the WTBTS were barred from presenting a defence the WTBTS was found liable after a six day trial so I don't know where you get the idea that no-one has been found liable or guilty. That's not a question by the way, I wouldn't want you to send me a bill.
