i obviously am wondering if it will have a huge impact on the wt org.. can someone kindly summarise how contributions are managed nowadays, both officially and anecdotally in kh's.. i was last attending around 2004, where there were x2 contribution boxes, the world wide work and kh fund.

In addition to the new monthly sum sent, recently our elder ask the cong even to send some more money...it was weird, because all the surplus is always sent to the the HQ. The amount is several K. I don't know if happen also in other cong..

my husband hadn’t seen his sister for 10 years.

we were jehovah's witnesses and thanks to their disgusting, arbitrary brainwashing, 10 years of loving our family was wasted shunning them.

i wonder if it will be published ?

i asked when would those responsible name and shame those institutions that have refused to join the redress scheme and if it was a one off event or are they going to continue to do so.. that was the gist of the message .it was to the herald sun newspaper printed in victoria and distributed nation wide.australia.their are about 5 institutions that have refused to sign up ,4 of them are very small institutions and the jehovah`s witnesses are by far the largest body refusing to join.. those of you in australia keep your eyes peeled to the herald sun to see if it gets published or not..

Why not? Let's hope....

Baptism during Covid - pool must tough the ground?

by jwfacts in

the july 2020 announcements mentions that baptism can be held in an “inflatable pool” as long as it touches the ground.

the pool must not be “on a terrace, flat roof, balcony, etc.”.

has anyone ever noticed that as a requirement?.

Italiancalipso

It is due to the safety ...weight of inflatable pool could be considerable high.

But don't worry...in Italy we have the best engineers in Bethel..so no problem about this calc. Of course not mentioning they decide to bought the wrong building for the new Bethel.

Received a letter from a JW today.

it started off as "dear friend ,as one of your neighbours" , however the postmark on the letter was from 2 townships away ?

a good twenty minute car drive away .a minor point i know.

it goes on about how she is concerned about the effects that current events are having on the welfare of the community and the corona-virus has prevented her from discussing the issues personally with me.. she then goes on to state and quote jeremiah 29:11 and then goes on to say "for more information about this promise and other questions like :.

I think you can write a letter to this lady and put inside to another letter to the congregation where you ask to deliver your mail to her. I hope they are not dishonest to this level. I think like this you should be able to reach her.

Than as content maybe you can ask for her answer to the ARC and IICSA, as in the JW.Org you didn't find any answer in the legal area. In a plain and gentle way as you are interested truly.

Than in case you want to avoid your real name and want to continue the discussion, you can build anonymous email for it to mention inside.

Good luck and keep us posted if you will reply
