If it's anything like the full-time construction volunteers I know, they are total borg zombies. The couples I know either rent out their houses to other JWs (who might pick up their window cleaning business or something like that) while away on projects, or just sell up altogether and live out of suitcases. Some who have been in it for a while and get the "full-time status" get a modest stipend, but not much - certainly no more than a bethelite.
It's all very short-sighted though - keeping themselves afloat depends on the WTBTS giving them continuous assignment after assignment, but like many full-time volunteers once they have outlived their usefulness and no longer needed there is nothing to stop the borg dumping them out on the street at a moments notice.
They will then be in a position possibly without a house and unable to buy one because house prices have gone up in the mean time, while what little savings they had were sat doing nothing in the bank, and likely no pension either. They will also find themselves too old to start having children.
You think you're missing something but you're really not - these people are so deluded to devote their entire livelyhood to the WTBTS, even more than regular dubs. You'd have to be crazy, and they are.

It is official they're selling off Kingdom Halls in Britain

Simon has made some good points, and I'm sure others than myself have a more informed opinion, but when a "company" starts selling off the family silver, i.e. it's physical assets, isn't that usually a classic sign of "panic" or at least a company in crisis?
I realise this has been happening in other countries for a while, but it's interesting that this is now happening in Britain at this time, and not in a subtle way burning away in the background, but in a big announcement letter to all congregations. As to the answer of why Britain and why now, there's the obvious stuff going on in the courts which could likely be causing the cash grab. A few other possible additional reasons though:
- Coming in November, it seems quite likely they now have the 2013-2014 service year-end figures, so it's possible that Britain is once again showing a decrease, as they did in 2001 and 2003.
That's surprising to me from what I saw and heard anecdotally from baptism figures at the summer conventions which looked about average or above. It's possible there have been a lot of people leaving though - young folks are getting wise to the cult younger and younger. I've also thought that future conditions are not looking favourable for much growth in the foreign language field as Britain is wanting to take a much firmer stand on immigration. - Again, I don't put much stock in my own opinion, but I would say on the property market it's also probably about the right time to be selling up - interest rates could be going up in the 18 months, there's a lot of uncertainty around the election next year, whether Britain will be taken out of the E.U. and also the economic state of the E.U. itself which has a huge effect as a trading partner of the U.K. whether it is still part of the E.U. or not. So the property market is probably close to peaking.

Governing Body Member Gerrit Loesch Must Eventually Take The Witness Stand In Child Molestation Lawsuits
by frankiespeakin inwith many more cases in the offing the zalkin lawfirm will press the issue again and again and force gerrit loesch to testify.
what say you?.

6 Months in the slammer might help with deprogramming these Governing Body monstrosities and make some changes after they have served their time.
If they drop the soap in the shower, will they be expecting "the two witness rule" to be applied in their own case?

Kingdom Hall consolidations in the UK
by raymond frantz in/from reliable sources (brothers in position within the congragation) i've been informed that in two different location within the uk congragations are to be consolidated .these men are loyal to the society and have no contact with ex-jw community .many brothers and sisters within these 4 congragations are devasted and undertantably very upset .one of these congragation has in excess of 150k in the bank currently "held" by the society as a loan .do you have any more information on this ?
is this just a one off or a new trend ?.

I also just realised, by dispersing even just one or two large congregations into surrounding ones, you can instantly put pressure on lots of congregations to build multiple new halls, instead of the pressure being just on one congregation to do a simple remodel or one rebuild.
Very clever...

Firstly, well done for having a stab at it - that takes courage on an internet forum.
cofty has already highlighted the major flaw, but just to drive it home:
living creatures changed or evolved to survive
their genes were influenced by the cursed environment
Evolution doesn't do that. You're saying about 6000 years ago that all living creatures as soon as "the curse" struck concurrently changed their whole physiology, including their teeth, and these animals were able to survive and "evolve" at an equal rate without wiping each other out or dying of starvation? If evolution worked like that and so quickly, I would be pretty scared to walk out my front door, and if so, why aren't we seeing evolution like that today? Did God turn the dial up to 11 for a bit?
Also, if you're saying animals eating meat is all due to "the curse", your conclusion would mean there is no evidence of meat-eating animals from before 6000 years ago. Even for an old-earth creationist, that means the many fossils with meat-eating teeth and other features of carnivores are no older than about 6000 years? For example, it also means you're saying all those pretty obviously meat-eating dinosaurs were roaming the earth at the same time as Adam and Eve?
If you had gone with: "Satan put all the pointy-toothed fossils there to test us" that might have been a slightly more reasonable start.

Today's watchtower. Why no emphasis on doctrine?
by kneehighmiah ini believe the jws are morphing into a mainstream social religious group.
we've long been taught we had the truth due to our suoerior doctrine.
it appears that the gb knows that their teachings are ludicrous and indefensible.

Why no emphasis on doctrine?
I think if they had another whole meeting about 607 B.C./1914 A.D. then people really would die of boredom. Or get suspicious that the org doth protest too much.
