Is the WTS "refinancing" KH loans?

by doinmypart in

my mom's kh was built last year with a loan from wts.

she was talking about a letter to all congregations with loans from wts.

the letter was asking the publishers how much they can pay towards a refinance.

Sherah, This issue started the fog in my brain to lift as well. The elderly, the dirt-poor, the lowly, gave $$ they couldn't spare to pay for their KH. Then when some elders with a heart said no to pressure from the CO and DO to a costly remodel they knew would be too much for their cong,........ they were FORCED out of their KH in a land grab by the WTBT$.

The whole cong were forced to travel a long, expensive, distance to the meetings after the take-over. So much for the Biblical command to care for widows, orphans, respect for the elderly, not dealing treacherously, etc. etc.

The worst part is the LYING and the COVER_UP the $ociety uses to accomplish their ajenda. The unsuspecting flock is fleeced before they even knew what happened.

Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?

there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".

and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.

simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

Barbara Anderson is at the top of my list. I want to thank her for her tireless efforts and personal sacrifice in behalf of abuse victims.

I hope to meet the Flippers soon. I also want to meet the crazys here...... You know who you are! I want to drink with them till I'm blind and laugh till I wet my pants.

How do you feel about pranks/practical jokes?

by Chemical Emotions in

jw
friends

i've always felt kind of torn on the subject.

but honestly, i don't like pranks.

in general i think they're unkind, especially when done to a child, an animal, an elderly person, or someone already stressed/distraught or not in good mental health.. i've always really hated two things: 1) seeing people embarrased.

3rdgen

I don't like them. I even hate the TV shows like Punked and others that pull practical jokes. I once caught my kids making a prank phone call. Let's just say they didn't do it again.
