An old Kingdom hall now a church?

by HereIgo in

have any of you heard of anything like this.

i remember an ex jw from ohio taking video of a former kingdom hall that is now a church.

apparently the society sold it to the church.

In South Africa the JW sold their original compound located in the city of Germiston to the South African Defence Force ! It was subsequently resold etc etc

If I Became a JW, Could I Have My Cat on Paradise Earth?

by Cold Steel in

would i?

i wouldn't mind if he slept through eternity (he sleeps most of the time anyway).

i'd just like to be able to move him around occasionally.

Why cant Judicial Committees be taped?

by HereIgo in

i have never understood this.

was it because of legal reasons?

i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.

friends

as thousands of drones are being bought by all kinds of people, sooner or later we may face a drone controlled by a moron annoying us.

here's one solution.. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37528390.

or, you can become a drone hunter, as in this yt video:.

Speaker and Interpreter Ratings

by wifibandit in

september 27, 2016 to all bodies of elders re: recommending convention speakers and interpreters.

september 28, 2016 to all bodies of elders having bethel brothers in their congregation re: convention speaker ratings for bethel brothers.

s-315-e 9/16 speaker and interpreter ratings.

ZAPPA-ESQUE

freddo The ones I took part it in seems to be superceded by this arrangement ?/- I have not been in the Borgian loop since 2010 - not sure - the docs look the same-ish ! But it went on forever this meeting. Also I did not handle the forms as CO had them in his hands.

It can be a way to put the knife into elders you don't like or are jealous of regarding "speaking prowess".

Then too we were reminded to look at the bro's who were more "charismatic" in their speaking style.

Other factors that were looked at were: Does he have his family in subjection ...............otherwise don't recommend him for talks / demo's related to family/

Been waiting for this for some time ! Well done posting this.

This existence of this rating system is not well know even amongst elders.

I was "privileged' to take part in 4 of these ratings sessions with the CO over the years - it took about 4 hours+

Every elder in a circuit is discussed and scrutinised as to his eligibility to give talks / take part on RC program parts etc etc

Thereafter your are given a rating D / C / B / B+ / A

In all of the sessions I was involved in only 1 person ever had an A rating and that was the late Jim Hamilton who was a former CO in the UK if I am correct.
