a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.
Might lead easily into a a "If this congregation can meet up over at "x" Kingdom Hall,.. we could sell this KH and use that money to increase the funds of the coffers at Bethel to use to further the preaching work in other countries before the GT"

Is it possible to get a link to that cleaner picture without the chalk board? I would like to redo mine so that it is cleaner.

anybody see the new cartoon?
the girl has a quarter and is going to get an ice cream but then puts it in the contribution box instead.
the gb want to make sure they guilt and suck the kids meager allowances dry as well and prep them as they grow up to keep giving!
has anyone ever seen any articles on the appropriateness of plastic surgery for wittos?
just popped into my head at work and don't think i can ever recall this even being given a mention at the meetings or in the literature.
i guess it would fall into the same sort of bracket as tattoos, but then again looking at some of the mutton in our circuit it looks like they've indulged in this at some point.
But what will happen to all those titanium rods and screws holding bones together in the new order? Will they dissapear into think air? Will the same happen to all the sisters that have had breastusist implants? Will they slowly deflate infront of everyone in a roar of " I knew it!!"

with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.
among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.
furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.
Many cities have a sign ordinance that limits the amount of square feet allowed for a "business" . Usually an entity will use up all of their allotment when th initially build the sign and would need to get an approval for additional sq footage to be added.
We know the kingdom halls will be adding these logos in the near future it might be nice to find out ahead of time from the department that over sees this from the city if there is a sign ordinance and if a church would need to be compliant with the ordinance.

i'm at starbucks .
just outside in the courtyard.. i'm trembling.
my hands are shaking.. wow!.
Do you think there would be any benefit to explaining cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, sunken cost fallacy etc prior or at least early on in a conversation like this to prepare them for the mind wanting to back out of the logic trail?
I would also explain what the Mormons etc that are discovering their religion is not what they think it is are experiencing when they start to investigate.
Here is a great link to share, IMO, with someone willing to look at the WTBTS as possibly being wrong. It is the story of a Mormon thinking his way out of his religion and he uses the jws as a proxy religion so that he could remain somewhat unbiased.

this is one of the most extraordinary interviews i've done on youtube to date and i'm not just saying that.. shawn "zen" dean shared his harrowing story with me of being raised in the jw "truth", going to watchtower farms and then getting his teaching degree only to end up homeless... lots of stories along the way, told with humor, sincerity and a heart full of love.. this is a tender-hearted guy that has had the ass-end of the stick his whole life... that's "the truth"!.
