Sir82 is accurate with the change in policy regarding interest. I remember over 20 yrs ago, when the Soc charged 6% interest. That was when we had high inflation. The rate of interest was justified because the value of the money lost it's power as time continued on. Today's annual inflation rate of 2% doesn't really justify charging an interest rate.

Congregation Loans
by sosoconfused inwhat i am trying to figure out is wether or not the society actually collects interest on the money they loan for kingdom hall construction.. .
for instance if we have 70k in the bank and need 90k for project and we get a loan from the borg - do they charge interest on the loan or is just the base 20k paid back over time?.
i never actually paid attention to this process, does anyone know.

The Americans already own the Molson Brewery, so it can't be that.

They are not so quick to reinstate,as to DF. Everyone has to wait who is this state. Time is on their side. If reinstatement is what you want, you will have to play this game.

I watched last ight, and I do have some questions.
The son worked for his dad's business, and he couldn't afford to live outside of the home. He then apparently got a good job, but still couldn't get an appt?
Both son's didn't have any JW girlfriends, why?
The singing of the parents were too much.
In the real illusrtation, the son didn't work, he just squandered his money, came out empty.

Brothers who were held back from being elder for stupid reasons?
by toto555 indo you know of any cases where brothers didn't get to be elder for a stupid/bogus reason even though they otherwise qualified?
do you think some/most appointments are politicially motivated?
how much do you think politics plays in the appointment process versus merit?

One brother moved into our congregation, and was a COBE in his past congregation. He worked hard on a KH revation project, and he only averaged 7 hrs per month for those three months. The BOE, and CO all recommended him to serve as an elder, but the report came back as denied. The Branch wrote back to request that this brother increase his hrs to 10 a month before qualifying as an Elder again. Nobody had told this real reason to this poor brother. I moved away and thought that this matter was brought to his attention. He moved out of the cong, got to qualify, because the renovation was done, and the new cong appointed him. He spent years angry at the previous congregation, thinking that they weren't agreeable to his qualifications. What a waste of time for this industrious brother.
