  District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium

  by NikL in

  2. friends

  last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

  there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

  they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.

  I am in California.
  

  Any thoughts?

  New Watchtower president

  by neat blue dog in

  the main corporation is two words "watch tower" society of pennsylvania.

  don adams took over for milton henschel in 2000 when the governing body cut all corporate ties, and when he died robert ciranko took over for him in 2014.. the next major corporation in line is the one word "watchtower" society of new york.

  the jw's first black corporate president, leon weaver jr., was president of this one up until recently.

  Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.

  for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.

  very interesting times!

  Is there any proof that it was announced that Russia is the "king of the North" as stated by the OP?

  I haven't heard it anywhere else.

  Growing up in the 70s it was the USSR which we Americans called Russia. So it would be a return to a previously held view.

  (sigh) Cult... cult...CULT!

  Do KHs lock their doors when meeting starts now?

  by NikL in

  2. friends

  my still in wife informed me this morning that she must be on time to the meeting as they are locking the door when it starts now.. i said that's crazy.

  she said it's because of the times we are living in.. we live in a rural area and crime isn't terrible though it's worse than it used to be.. i told her if that's the way it is then why bother leaving the house at all?.

  she said they are just trying to be safe.. is this a thing now?

  Imagine if a church locked it's doors.

  Imagine it happened a few years in the past and all the head wagging the Jay Dubs would be doing.

  I guess Jah's Holy Spirit isn't enough to protect his congregation anymore.

  If they are worried about governments clamping down on them, arent they supposed to go after Babylon the Great first? Hmmm.
  

  I am not comfortable being locked in a building.
