  Sir82 - very very true. I don’t have the circuit accounting procedures but when I was in those meetings as an elder that’s exactly what was said...

  why that didn’t wake me up then I don’t know, cult mind control is a real thing.

  Salisbury is still in use.

  because they went to 1 day assemblies and they go 48 weeks of usage that’s $1,920,000 annual take per assembly hall.

  i have no idea how many Assembly halls there are but all assembly halls are paid for by donations so Orangeburg was in zero debt when it opened its doors in 2013.

  like I said before - it’s not a huge cost as I’ve spent more on popcorn and a ticket at the theatre / but it’s the deception as to why the money is needed.

  At Regionals they no longer mention the accounts as it is covered by WWW

  still a lot of money comes in at these I have seen it with my own eyes

  Straight shot down 26.

  mountains are great we all used to go to Salisbury NC and it had very comfortable seats and a dining area. I worked on that construction project as a teenager in the mid 90’s and now we go to Orangeburg in the middle of nowhere and very uncomfortable seating and you eat at your seat. I know out of the 2,250 in attendance I could not possibly be the only PIMO.

  Hi Careful - you are welcome for the information. Yes the young people are just socially at events.

  The baptism versus attendance indicates a growth of .4 % 9/2250 I know our circuit has had 10 disfellowshipings and 5 deaths

  so it’s shrinking for sure

  the circuit includes halls such as Shelby / Columbus / Forest City / Spartanburg / Simpsonville

  The CO is Gregory Nuegent

  The interesting thing is that we carried a deficit from the last assembly in December of over $5k.

  You can hear the collective WTF from the audience when the accounts report is read.

  I used to work in the Accounting department at the circuit and we always covered the amount due, however, back then in the 2000’s the mandatory Tithe was far less as the circuit assemblies were 2 day events for $15k.

  the beautiful thing is that my dad is waking up to this particular area of the Borg.

  that’s a $10 per person head count - again not really that much money .... but it’s a 2-3 hour drive one way for most of circuit. And some have to stay one night in hotel so a family of four can easily exceed 2-3 hundred bucks for a one day event.

  again maybe not a huge deal.

  what is a big deal is the lack of transparency - don’t lie about the costs / that’s the bottom line...

  It’s a mix - but I would guess

  50% > 60 years old

  40% < 60 to 30 years old

  8% < 30 to 18 years old

  2 % < 18 years old

  baptized 3 under 16

  6 over 50 years old

  deficit announced of $13,500 during afternoon session.

  other announcement was how to donate on website

  or make check payable to NC 21

  There isn’t a person here buying this sh&t about donations for repairing assembly halls.

  if all the Assembly halls are doing this and it was specifically said this is for the USA and not other country’s then I smell a lie and this is for lawsuits as there isn’t a drop of construction going on in the USA.

  Great Sell-Off is for the Expansion Work in Africa

  by HiddenPimo in

  2. scandals

  they say this sell off is for the need to build more kh.

  however the branch accounting video that was leaked shows otherwise.. is there a way to find out how many halls are constructed in africa and other places to show the money trail is to pay for child abuse cases and not new halls.?.
