  I think i know which one you're referring to. I found it boring, dragged out and something did seem odd about it.

  I've said many times, if they offered this AT LEAST half would walk out. Take a look at your last KH. There's always a divide of the elders families and their cliques, and everybody else. The everybody else are the ones who'd just love to leave but cant.

  Even the believers could say "we worship Jehovah at home". Many in my family say "Jehovah is perfect, it's his people that are wrong. Jehovah will sort it out". That right there tells me they have little faith in the GB but just tow the line.

  according to the uk charity commission, my old kingdom hall is hemorrhaging money and less is coming in.

  long may it continue.. any ideas what a crappy, run down, shack of a kh spends £49,472.87 on in three years?

  they were praying for a new hall for about 10 years until bethel basically stole it off them to build warwick.. .

  Almost 50 grand though? ouch Watchtower.

  I notice the donations dried up nice since Mrs Wealthy passed away and her non JW sons and daughter made sure her will was in order.

  searching

  can someone please help me find the video from the society regarding not advancing children's talents?

  it's about a child who is very good at something musical and has been invited to participate in a special advanced course but his father explains how that is worldly thinking.

  something along those lines..

  Yeah, coz God wants you to waste your talents and instead knock on doors just like everybody else.

  It's a good thing not everyone is a JW, otherwise we'd have no doctors, scientists, bankers and farmers. We'd all be dead in a generation.

  When i hear "i can get back up" it always reminds me of those talks we used to hear from the platform about when you sin, dont give up, you can get back up and Jehovah will forgive you!

  (if you rat yourself out to the elders and sit in a kangaroo court, get DF'd, shunned, come back after a year and then maybe we'll pretend nothing happened).

  Maybe they're realizing more young ones are just leaving rather than sitting in on a JC.

  Awful. Just awful. They were throwing their children out of the windows in the hope that people would catch them below. Imagine being in that position, that's a last resort that you'd hope you'd never have to take.
  

  One mother fled her apt with her 6 children, and when she got to the bottom there were only 4 with her. I cant imagine the pain and greif these people are going through.

  I was very impressed and proud of the everyday citizens donating food, water and clothes and organizing shelter. A far cry from what i was told "the world" was like.

  From what i understand the heat inside the twin towers reached astronomical levels due to the sheer hight and space for the hot air to move around inside that weakened girders. But, im no structural engineer.
