I cannot help but wonder if there is any connection to the recent KH raid in Teller County Colorado:
The two locations are 70-80 miles apart, so it could be an unfortunate coincidence.

A related question to the OP is:
Who can be disfellowshipped?
One must be a member to be disfellowshipped.
How do they identify a member?
Only if a person is baptized, not whether or not the person is an active publisher.
But they define a JW as someone who reports preaching time, regardless of whether or not the person is baptized. The reasoning seems contradictory to me.

JW's & "pagan origins" teachings.
by BoogerMan inthe cult demands that the "sheeple" avoid anything which has "pagan origins," so for consistency, the wtbts should come clean and abandon the use of the pagan gregorian calendar, and adopt the biblical hebrew calendar.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gregorian_calendar#months.

Loved the science fiction of the 40's and 50's. I grew up reading Heinlein, Asimov, and especially Bradbury.

As I understand it, the government support of religions in Norway came about in a roundabout manner. At one time there was a single state-supported religion, but at some point the state support was expanded to other religions and the government money (through taxes) began to be distributed proportionately to all the registered religions based on each religion's membership numbers. To qualify, a religion had to register and to meet the legal qualifications defined in the law. One of the legal requirements was that the members have to have the freedom to leave one religion and join another without penalty or repercussions. JW's disfellowshipping fails this test, the goverment claims, so the JWs registration has been removed. Especially galling is the fact that minors are baptized, become members who are counted in the totals (hence more money to the JWs), but cannot leave without being penalized by disfellowshipping.

Beecher Bethel
by peacefulpete inmost of us are aware the wt original purchase of brooklyn properties were the "plymouth bethel" and henry ward beecher's residence.
i was just sitting here and it occurred to me these should be recognized as historical sites.
beecher's role in american history surrounding the civil war is certainly worthy of recognition and remembrance.

If I remember correctly, 124 Columbia Heights was his residence. His church, which Russell used as his tabernacle, was a block or two away. I think the WT sold that off not long after Russell died. I seem to remember a historical plaque at the site of the tabernacle, but that was back in the '70s or '80s when I was there.
