  I have further news...

  It seems the Hall was set up and run under a separate charity. Now they want to end that charity. They will then transfer it to the IBSA who will run it.

  I wonder if that means 'sell it' to KFC or something?

  Awake (g87 9/8 p. 25-26) after mentioning, what we in the UK called Hellaby stated...

  In former years, the Witnesses used to rent theaters and auditoriums for these larger gatherings, called circuit assemblies. (A circuit is composed of some 20 congregations.) Now such facilities are no longer available in many areas. Therefore, a movement got under way in the United States some 20 years ago to acquire properties that could be converted into Assembly Halls. The fact that more and more are being inaugurated all over the world is a sign of the increase that Jehovah’s Witnesses are experiencing.

  Oh, well. that's a load of bunkum then!

  Where are the JWs on cross dressers?

  by mickbobcat in

  so if a man lets say is heterosexual, married and happy but likes to in the privacy of his own home wear women's cloths and his wife is ok with it.

  i know a person could just shut their mouth and who would know but i am talking about jw who is very concerned about telling the truth to the dubbers.

  my guess is it would not be a dfing matter but they would not be a ms or elder.

  The common answer to all questions like this will always result in the Jobos saying, 'No!'. It's their only answer unless it gives money to the GB; then it's a swept under the carpet jobbie.

  Nottingham Ice rink 2010 was the last one....I don't know about biggest.The 'overlapping generations' one. That did it for me. The overlapping nonsense was the last straw. I never returned after that.

  The biggest was probably Wembley in the 60's early 70's? 'Brother(TM)' Knorr was there. But he didn't touch my bum.

  If all GB members died at once?

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't suppose anyone knows for sure, but do we have any kind of hint of what would happen if all of the governing body members died at the same time- such that nobody was left to appoint successors?

  in lieu of any solid evidence, i'd also be interested in hearing some speculation based on what we already know about the organizational structure.. it would certainly throw a wrench in either the teaching that the faithful and discreet slave will survive into the great tribulation and/or the implied doctrine that the the gb succession arrangement is justifiable biblically.

  let me firmly disclaim any implication that i am encouraging violence or wishing death on the governing body.

  FedUp - the "helpers"

  They'd use that scripture where Jesus would send the 'helper' or some garbage.

  Lloyd Evans keeps doing parts on how the JWs are guilty of follwing the bible.

  i have been watching evans videos for a while.

  he keeps attacking the cult for following the bible.

  women are to be subservient to men.

  I feel a lot of YouTubers are in it for 'fame' and the trappings that follow. Whether Mr Evans is one of these or not, I do not know.

  I really don't take notice of people on their soap boxes anymore. It's all false.

  sorry if i shouldn't be posting this, i am not jw however i have had past experiences with jw's and was learning a lot about the religion, in hopes to convert one day.

  it all ended suddenly and i guess i feel guilty for not learning more, i would get scared at the thought of bible studies and discussions in case it brought back memories.

  i was looking for any advice on the best ways i can find out more please.

  Overweight Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?

  i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.

  a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?

  The subject was vorboten in the congregations I had the displeasure to attend.

  One Elder did ask about it but was swiftly told to shut his cakehole.

  Hello, Kimmy.

  In a word, 'RUN'

  Avoid the Watchtower corporation like the Rona. You will end up in a world of pain because they are not what they pretend to be.

  I know, I was an Elder. It's dark at the top!
