Nowwhat? This very well could be the new way they do things. Here you don't need to be zoned to have groups meet in homes. The Messianic Hebrew Roots are doing it. They go online and follow different Torah teachers, have fellowship teaching one another what they have learnt and then a pot luck dinner together. Then they go home. They're all over the world by using this method. So yes this could very well be the new normal for them as well as others.

Kh's will be gone in 5 years! Here's how it will work
by nowwhat? inbesides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.
there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.
so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.

Lol! Looks like the org is worried someone within their congregations will burn down their halls because many within know what the org's intentions are and that is to sell off their halls. Go for it!!!

I didn't see Elmira,Barnswallow Drive, Ontario or Kitcheners plus Renfrew, Ontario up by Ottawa and there's one just before Cornwall.
Also, none of these halls are being used and wondered why there are no for sale signs on the lawns. We even checked with the real estate listings and there are none. Does the org have their own real estate firms?

Not invited to congregation “get togethers”. They finally said it
by solomon inwe don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.
we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.
we go in service at least once a month.

This elderly couple were originally from the old order mennonite community and they have a pile of money that these elders would have loved to get their hands on when they die but they also have a pile of kids. They have in their entire family one hundred and five total. And all of them are happy that their parents are out.
I feel sorry for the mother since she was just diagnosed with liver cancer and also missed forty years or so of their lives not being able to have much to do with their family. Now they are.

Don't feel bad. We know of an elderly couple in their eighties where in the past two weeks they have had the elders contact their son to get them to come to the midweek meetings and the son told them he couldn't make his parents go if they don't want to go. Next day the son went to their house and couldn't reason with them. Then two elders went to their home and the couple sent them away with a page of questions about the scriptures. Then the guy who had studied with them over thirty years ago said him and an elder from the hall were going to come to their home for a visit last Friday and that never happened. This elderly couple waited all day and no show. Also an ms came to their home to tell them that if he wants a ride to the meeting that he would have to call them but he can no longer have any association with the couple. The elders also informed them that they are no longer allowed to go out in car groups or to the doors anymore. He made a comment two weeks ago at one of his return visits that he feels Adam and Eve will be resurrected since Jesus died for all mankind and the young elder reamed him out in the car. He must have texted an elder before they got back to the hall because once they arrived back from service the two elders asked him to go into the second school room and wanted to know why he would say that at the doors. Talk about a snitch. Everyone seems to be on high alert with paranoia. So now this couple is waiting for the phone call to come into their jc meeting which he is not going. He told too many people in the hall that they would be going to a new church since their hall got sold. When he told that to the elder he asked this couple if they would like to be df'd and this man said go ahead there are plenty of other churches he can go to. They now go to a new mennonite order church and love it. Plus some of their relatives are there. It's a cult!

Newspaper: JW top lawyer Shane Brady handles Duch court case, highest level jw.org involvement
by Gorbatchov innewspaper stated that the highest jw.org lawyer handles the dutch court case.
so the highest level is involved.. the report of trouw, nationwide newspaper:.
the way jehovah's witnesses deal with sexual abuse is traumatic for victims.

If you speak against the Governing Body you will be punished.
by punkofnice inthis was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.
somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.
the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

PunkOfNice I am doing quite well, thank you. Just went to Toronto for my scan and will see what's up and then next month for MRI.
Right now we know of an elderly couple in their eighty's who never believed some of the org's doctrines but after the hall sell offs across Canada he was mad. We told him it was going to happen back in 2012 and he figured he wouldn't see it in his life time but he did. Then we started sharing everything from here and other sites with him.
He went back to his mennonite church. He told different elders and publishers that he was going to a new church.. One elder asked if he wanted to be df'd and he said if they do then he'll go to another church. Last week he had two elders come and see him at home and he figured since they left his place on good terms that made him happy. Not so. Two elders are coming to his home this Friday to try and stop him from going to church.
He was out in service two weeks ago and mentioned in front of an elder at one of his calls that he thinks Adam will be resurrected. As soon as they got back to the hall he was hauled into the second school room with two more elders waiting to discuss what happened. They told him he is not allowed to go out in service anymore since he is corrupting the car group and the people at the doors.
Here's the kicker. Every Thursday night at the hall he teaches his language which is Pennsylvania Dutch to a group of elders and publishers. The only reason they sit in on this is because they get to count four hours of not learning a dam thing. If you were to ask any of them to put a sentence together they maybe be able to say Hi how are you but that's it. None of them would ever go to the doors but ride in the back seat and let others do their return visits. PunkOfNice you have visited this area when you come to stay with your daughter here in Toronto. And you well know that all the mennonites in this area speak english.
My question for the lame brain elders are if you know this couple can't be trusted at the doors or in a car group then why in the world could you ever trust them not to teach you the wrong words? Maybe words like this religion is a cult! And is this why they won't disfellowship this couple because the elders and publishers get to count their time? Or are the elders afraid that their community which is eighty percent mennonites will find out what the witnesses are all about? Too late for this couple have been for years been handing written letters to the householders stating what is wrong with the religion. Right in front of the elders that would be standing with him each time he did this right under their noses literally.
This Friday is going to probably be the last meeting since he is going to tell them three things he doesn't like and then tell them three strikes and they are out! He already said he wasn't going to go to his judicial meeting if they call him in. They love the church they are attending and have lots of fun with the people there. No one is fake. Even some of his relatives that he had to shun are there and are happy that he is out. These elders actually got a hold of his son to try and talk some sense into him to go back to the meeting but his hall was sold as well as this couples. People are waking up finally.

When I was fighting for my life fighting this beast of a cancer which required a thirteen and a half hour surgery and three surgeons that is when I found out that the org was a sham. ( Thank you Simone) Just before I went under the knife I had been crying because of what I had just found out. I'm still here today more powerful than ever saying to the joho's that come to more door " please come in". The last one left putting her hand in front of my face saying look it hun if anyone knows more about this religion is me. " All I did was try to ask her what she thinks of her org now with all the pedophilia law suits going on world wide and selling off of their kingdom halls. She said it was all fake news. Then she said she had to get out here and slammed my door. I followed her to her car group and asked why she did that and the car group was not happy with her. I then said maybe I need to call their headquarters and ask them since when did they get so aggressive and she sat back in her seat and shut her mouth. Then I said to them all if they can behave and not be so rude I would love to have them come again. They said they would be back so we will see.
