  (posted for andersonsinfo).

  people are protesting against plans to build a large care home for jehovahs witnesses behind their houses.. homeowners living in the bloors lane area of rainham have lodged objections to proposals by the jah jireh charity, which specialises in spiritual and physical care for followers of the religion.. people living in neighbouring homes say it is too big and its three storeys will dwarf their properties.. .

  what the care home will look like.

  this weeks service meeting part (week starting march 23, 2015) in the our kingdom ministry under the heading meetings for field service that accomplish.

  their purpose includes a little sub-article entitled when a sister must conduct.

  the direct link is: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/kingdom-ministry/ click the little document download button under the one labeled km15 03-e us and then choose a format (pdf looks best)..

  OMG...This is quite the post. I don't know whether to laugh or to feel bad for the poor women that subject themselves to this crazy ritual. This is such primitive thinking.

  How do you give the appearance that you are not conducting, when you are conducting? I guess it's like the days when you were in school and chewing gum. We all chewed gum, but did so in a secretive way. Perhaps the sisters should turn the lights off in the room when the Service Group is being conducted. That way they can hear the voices but not see who apparently is in the room, or who is conducting.

  i don't know if anybody has seen this (or if anybody cares).

  but it seems that some of the "new" new songs have been leaked by somebody at bethel.. just a bit of a warning, do not click on that vocal rendition of song 142... it is awful.

  I can see another court challenge coming from the Marvin Gaye family. These songs look like they have been copied

  Yes, I'm not for putting speakers on a pedestal here in this post. I'm just mentioning what a difference it was to hear a different softer message of a Zone meeting than was heard in the USA.

  Thanks, guys, for your comments, and Richard_1 on the additional notes.

  Yes, that evil money does get in the way of what some good people are trying to accomplish.

  I think DOC is right. Maybe the softer approach is coming. We'll wait and see

  No mention of the Metero Sexual suits, Bright colored socks, Spandex, no association with DF relatives. He just spoke about the matter of depression.

  I would rank this one as the best that I have attended. It was non-judgemental, positive, and upbeat

  That's just the problem with JW's. We are afraid to mention that we have some skeletons in our closet. I know of some people who will refuse Blood Transfusions, not participate in Holiday celebrations, and yet they will go to nightclubs, smoke and think that they are classified as JW's. They pick and choose whats on the menu but refuse to pay the check. Yet, people think that they are devout JW's because they refuse blood at the hosp. or, use the religious card. You got to admit, this news story would have no impact if they wrote that this guy was a catholic.

  A District Overseer once said that the GB has come up with that, "Family Business", terminology on their own, and this wasn't a scriptural thought whatsover. It was meant to make it softer on those who had Fam Mem's that were DF'd. But time after time it feels that they are trying to withdraw it. Whenever a reference is made about it. It is treated as if it is used as an excuse. They don't even explain how to use it. They have written more about how it isn't to be applied. Maybe, this would be new light in the future. A new assembly part. "Behold, The true meaning of Family Business"

  This is another one that will be a Regular Pioneer, but, won't be putting out 70 hours a month in FS. He will be invited to serve on the Legal Team, as if he wasn't doing so already.

  Anyways, I don't mean to speak negatively about a person who retires and chooses any voluntary work to do. All the best to him
