he was only 14. he'd carried on associating with a friend of his who'd been disfellowshipped.

please read the following brief paragraph carefully: .

it means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".

the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.

the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.

Wierd KH property arrangement
by Simon in
1. jw
2. friends
my wife's congregation recently bought some land to build a new kh on it but then signed over the ownership to an offshore company controlled by the wtb&ts.

they were told that it would make it harder to 'grab' when 'the persecution begins'.. has anyone else heard anything like this?.

it sounds like a way of getting real-estate to me and from what i've heard, sounds a bit dodgy.
