by NoLongerAjw in

jw
friends

i have a question was wondering if anyone knew the answer to... .

i rent month to month.. have been here 8 years... the person who owns the property came by last night to inform me and others that the rent has went up $70 and is to be added to march 1st payment.. what i am wondering is.... it seems that he should have gave us a months notice before it went into effect.. do you know if that is the law or not?...

i live in indiana if that helps... .

HI, thanks for the replys... :)

We do not have rent control where we live.. So he can raise it as much as he wants to... I am not complaning about that.. even though the 70 bucks doesnt seem much to some of you .. it is a 40% increase to me.. I live in a very small rural town in Indiana so homes and rent are not much... actually it is only the property that is rented I own the mobile home.. before you laugh... i bought it new.. on what i made making min. wage while being a witness so that was good for me.. .. lol anyway i was just curious if there was a teneat/landlord law that he had to give me more the 7 days notice.

thank you for the replys..

Thank you for the quick replys.. i will check into everything you all have told me thank you!!!

we do not have a lease soooo we maybe out of luck there... i wouldnt mind the increase to bad if i had a month to prepare.. when you are on a tight budget it is hard to just come up with 70 bucks in 8 days. thats whay i was wondering if he was supposed to give us notice before hand.. they have always done that before... mail a letter saying it would be going up 5 bucks in two months.. but has never been more then that.. $70 is like a slap in the face.. lol

thanks again.

5 years removed from being inside the indianapolis assembly hall of jehovah's witnesses, 4 years from attending a meeting at the kingdom hall, this morning my girlfriend and i walked into the assembly hall.

we were taking an early morning walk in our jogging clothes in downtown indy.

she asked if there was anywhere i'd like to go.

NoLongerAjw

Hey coult9056, I have been out for almost 4 years now.. and i used to go to that assembly hall for over 15 years.. it is a very pretty place.. i used to sit and imagine it as my house when i was little.. wondering where i would put my bed.. i always thought above the stage.. lol.. Do you remember when we all got to help repaint it and stuff like that.. i got to paint at the very top.. outside.. around the window trim..i was about 13.. i felt so proud to say look i painted that.. lol.. that was when those ugly orange curtains where still in there. thanks for the flashback:)

by Celtic in

jw
friends

could someone please explain to me the principles upon which the wt farms are run?.

does the farm also rely upon subsidies and funding grants of any kind?

from the brothers running the farms, is there any interest in farm diversification and environmental modelling upon the site, how is this evaluated and how are their plans forwarded into action?.

NoLongerAjw

I cant be much help... but i have been their twice.. ya know the bethal tours.. From what i can tell it is mostly a place were some Jw's work and live and all it is are big gardens and animals.. thats were other bethal places gets their Milk.. eggs.. vegi's fruits, and meats.. while we were thier we didnt see a whole lot.. we got to pet a pig.. thats about it.. the rest looks like dorm rooms and a big cafetirea.. Looks like they have it so they never half to leave or rely on other people.. very cultish..
I know this wasnt what you were looking for .. i just thought i would share what i seen..

jw
friends

i know alot of jws with money, and it seems to me that if your a jw with lots of money you can get away with alot more.

is this cuz thay put more money in the box in the back of the kh?.

how much money would you put in the the box at the hall?

NoLongerAjw

I noticed at our hall anyway, that it was always the rich wives that put the money in the donation box. and Always by check, i think it was so they would no how much brother and sister so and so gave them. if it was cash they wouldnt.

have you ever noticed (at least around here anyway) that the elders are all well to do?

they all have nice houses and nice cars.. and nice clothes.. but yet their wives dont work they are all fulltime pioneers.. and the elders jobs arent the best in the world.. how can this be?

i have never seen a elder with a little house.

NoLongerAjw

Hmm thanks for the input. i guess things are diffent from town to town.. eladers all seem well off around here in this very small hick town.. but maybe it is just here.
