FIELD SERVICE IS VOLUNTARY AND PUBLISHERS DO NOT REPRESENT THE WTBTS

You are first interviewed: Organized to do Jehovah's Will book p.79

You must qualify: Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 81

The WT has minimum requirements to meet: Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 87

The WT has rules to cater for exceptions: Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 87

The WT's elders uphold the rules: Organized to do Jehovah's Will Book page 87

The WT train you: km 3/04 p. 4 par. 3 A Cavalry Charge That Involves You

And equip you: km 3/04 p. 4 par. 6 A Cavalry Charge That Involves You

And organise you: km 7/12 p. 5 par. 4 Before Preaching, You May Need to Search

And tell you what to wear: km 3/96 p. 3 par. 6 Preparation—Key to Success

Then you must report back to the WT: Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 86

BUT you are not representatives: km 2/89 pp. 3-4 Our Identification as Jehovah's Witnesses

"publishers do well to avoid representing themselves as agents or representatives of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., or any other corporation used by "the faithful and discreet slave" to advance Kingdom interests"

New letter, re: Fully Utilizing Kingdom Hall Auditoriums

Merging two low attendance congregations together will have one effect.
Those that have to travel further than before will not go as often, and those that need constant hassling to be at the meetings will get less attention and attend less often.
Two low attendance congregations will eventually become one low attendance congregation.
Imagine how far some of the congregation will now have to travel in order to reach the edge of the other congregations field service territory!
Imagine how far some, who live on the furthest edge of the territory will now have to travel to get to a kingdom hall, maybe having to drive past where the old hall used to be!
Impoverished, tight-fisted publishers will not be happy.

I don't understand the logic.
There's an urgent need for Kingdom Halls so we're going to combine congregations.
If a congregation has spare capacity then it's not on the list for a new hall.
I guess the only way this adds up if is the new kingdom hall is to replace one that's falling down and needs replacing. In this instance the congregation could instead move to another hall, but this does not follow the logic that the new halls are needed because of the wondrous expansion that's now taking place.
Seems like a property / land grab to me.
XBEHERE In my part of the U.S the attendance is too high to support the scenario mentioned in the letter.
Not if the two congregations meet at the combined hall on different days/times.Two congregations, one shared hall.

I see they quote Haggai 2:8 “‘The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ declares Jehovah of armies."
If this were true then why does the WT constantly badger the congregations for money all the time.

hi guys,.

i might go to the meeting.

i stopped going in my heart properly in nov 2013, but i went to a couple of meetings to support a love one that was df'd and tried to teach them a little ttatt.. now another df'd loved one is coming to see me today and will likely encourage me to try and get ri'd, and i want to support her.

The kingdom hall is fake. You'll get fake interest shown in you that will fade from their minds as soon as they get in their cars to go home.
You will hear fake reasoning from the platform, and people will nod their heads in fake agreement because they are not allowed to ask what's really on their minds.
The elders will give you some fake lines on how they love you and miss you and want to shepherd you. If it was that important they would have done so before now.
You will be told that this fake way of life is the only way to happiness. That is a fake statement.
You're a genuine gal. You don't belong in a fake world.
