Kingdom Hall Renovation

hi all, quick question related to renovating k halls.. my in-laws live in another city and the two congs there are in a ten week process of completely renovating the hall.

the plaster board has been taken off, all the toilets and air cons even the roofing iron and insulation are being pulled out and dumped to be totally replaced.

it seems like overkill to say the least.

The Jones I have seen were: making it more sellable, massaging some bigwigs ego, or stepping on some previous big guys ideas

Do You Think Disfellowshipping Is The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by minimus in

the longer i’m out the more i feel that disfellowshipping is cruel.

i understand the organization tells parents to not even accept emails or texts from their disfellowshipped children.

while i was a witness they tried to discourage families from association but there was some leeway if it was considered necessary business to interact.

The absolute shunning they encourage (require) is the worst part. There is some behaviour that Is beyond the pale but the whims of the elders makes a mockery of any justice

The other thing 5hey do is keeping us in expectation of things that will not be ever seen; and the unrealistic views on education

How about " don't form attachments" period. That is their thinking about family, friends.

That said, some people do act way too weird about animals like little fluffy riding in the same grocery cart I will use

Now we know where that expensive scotch was used. I have never been drunk enough to make that big a fool of myself

Please don't give them new ideas!

by Lost in the fog in

spotted this question on another site.

my first thought was "please don't give the local elders another excuse to badger those leaving.

" mind you we haven't signed non-disclosure agreements like this person did.. https://www.cultnews101.com/2019/05/can-i-be-sued-by-former-cult-i-was.html?m=1 .

The reason for suing is aften to intimidate people. Sound familiar?

Recent letter about ldc

by dothemath in

not sure if this is being done in other countries, but here in canada they've just announced the need for holiday trailers for ldc volunteers to use.. they're hoping people will donate these evidently.

not some run-down thing, it's got to be a fairly recent model and also a fifth-wheel.. i guess this is where the more materialistic witnesses will have to step up!.
