any JW construction going on other than Warwick?
by Magnum inis anybody aware of any kingdom hall builds going on or any kind of ldc activity?
i've been wanting to ask this, and committeechairman's question at the end of this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/289353/ldc-semininar?page=4&size=20, moved me to go ahead and ask.. i've kind of wondered whether the org leaders got rid of rbcs and instituted the ldc arrangement because they wanted to be able to stop or slow down construction without it being obvious.
if the rbcs were still in existence, it would be obvious that there's nothing (or almost nothing) going on (if that really is the way it is) because rbc personnel would be idle when they were used to being busy.

I can't watch stuff like that, but I don't imagine that the infantilisation of grown adults is pleasant to watch.

Disfellowshipping and Excutions
by blondie in*w60 2/1 80 - 17 there may be rare instances where a child is so hardened in its stubbornness that even the rod of correction cannot drive it out.
in the days of israel parents were instructed by jehovah to take such a rebel to the city fathers and they, in turn, took the incorrigible one out and stoned him to death.
there were no juvenile delinquents under such a system.

She is not in the truth today nor is her daughter.
Given their experiences, do you blame them?

Setting the record straight. CSA report in New Zealand
by joe134cd inok i just want to officially set the record straight about the report of csa in new zealand.
i have a pimo relative who lives in nz.
as far as public awareness, with regard to the jws, it was basically a big nothing burger.

You're right, Blondie, that the other groups are larger and higher profile, and therefore attract more attention. I can't help feeling that the WT punches way above its weight statistically, though. Not that we'll ever really know what those statistics are. 🤥

How would you rate the Watchtower approved songs?
by Vanderhoven7 ini was asking why jws won't sing any church hymns even if they were doctrinally correct.
jws asked me in response if i would sing any of their songs.. dan watkins wrote .
its a hilarious misunderstanding, if it does not come from the watchtower bible and tract society, then it is effectively considered as coming from satan.

"They'll probably soon use AI to create their art and music, more Bethelites on the streets."
Is the "music ministry" large enough to justify permanent Bethelites anyway? Once a new songbook and the accompanying recordings are done, wouldn't the Bethelites involved be assigned back to their regular duties? Does anyone know how the songbook system works?

"Will the Catholic church have a pope?"
Remember the discussion concerning one of the recent ones, that he would be the last pope? Based on some mediaeval prophecy by a monk or some such?

"I'm not sure if the decision on the date was made by the UK Branch, but if feels more like another example of an out-of-touch GB in the USA making decisions for other countries"
I'm imagining the GB huddled around their wargame board, moving the pieces around, totally oblivious to field conditions in the real world. 😸

The thumbnail for the video shows a sign saying "Free Bible Course". Is there really a structured course designed to teach a complete novice about how the Bible works? Or is it more JW doctrine oriented? And is it a particular publication that is meant for newbies? If so, what is it called?

Sea Breeze, the title of this thread and the wide open mouth in that first pic makes me think that he is saying (in the voice of Snagglepuss) : "Exit, stage right!"
Who is that?

"Rumor has it Marvel cleaned house of activist producers a few months ago"
I heard that rumour this morning. It'd be nice to see movies being made to be entertaining again.
