Our hall is asking for money...

by thedepressedsoul in

i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.

we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.

it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

cappytan

If I happen to be at a meeting when this comes up, I'm pledging $500/month...and giving NONE.

fisherman The word guilty is not found in the Civil Jury's verdict. And neither did the verdict say that he was found guilty by the jury. The terms guilt and guilty (you answered yes) are terms that you have selected to describe Civil Court findings but they are not used in any legal way in the Civil Court documents to apply to its findings.
By this reasoning, the following phrases "do not appear in the Bible" so therefore should not be taught:
New Scrolls
New Light
Faithful and Discreet Slave Class
Governing Body
Emblems
Paradise Earth
New System
Christ's millennial reign
Wait on Jehovah
Growing to perfection
Where else can we go?
Live up to our dedication
Dedicated and baptised
Spirit Directed
Judicial Committee
Just sayin'

WT is shorting literature orders by congregation with a problem contributing enough for literature $3500 just for mags

by oppostate in

at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

it's expected this will continue to happen.

the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

cappytan

Place those dam tracks already and leave the magazines alone. If this goes on for months they'll be begging you to place magazines

Just thought of something. Do you think the "special campaigns" are cost cutting measures? Push a tract for a month and lower the Magazine orders nationwide and save money on printings?

Actually, he was wrong. The last price was 25 cents each. 50 cents for the pair. And those were 32 page magazines. Now, the Watchtower and Awake are both 16 page magazines.

Music

we would all agree that music whatever its form or genre, speaks to us, maybe a favorite childhood nursery rhyme, maybe dads music,etc.

a lot of us where shut down to such wordly things, some were not.

music has always helped me in hard times, that song, that artist, that let's get moving stuff, what speaks to you, its not a cure all, but what do you like?

cappytan

Mr.logic: I knew we could find something in common. :P

The hag is not only one of the greatest country musicians of all time, his songs are actually sung at an octave that I can reach. lol

What would happen if you drop a fake check or bill in the donation box?

by StarTrekAngel in

what would happen if we started dropping fake check or bills inside the donation box of an assembly?

i know, is a crime, but so is pushing someone to not accept blood and die.

would it help skew the numbers enough if enough of us did it?.

cappytan

James Mixon: Forget about a fake check, drop a bill made out to the society. Return all the money
I have donated over the years, if you do not make some kind of effort in restitution
I will take your ass to court for running a Scam.. Thank you.

Memo on the bill should say, "Dear brothers, my wife and I would like to make you aware of our situation, and you can respond as your heart impels you. Doing the math, we have looked at our finances over the next fiscal year, and we are projected to spend more money than we are bringing in."

Personally, I dig classic country music. In particular, Merle Haggard.

But I'm a big fan of all kinds of music. I listen to modern pop, rap and heavy metal the least. It just doesn't appeal to me.

But I will listen to classic heavy metal, pop and rock and truly enjoy it.

Classical music also speaks to me. Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Strauss.
