  does anyone have an accounting of those properties?

  which properties and possible value of sale?.

  sounds like that the watchtower may want to sell quickly?

  The 1600 Bethelites are just the ones in Brooklyn, not counting elsewhere.

  I remember the food at the Conventions and Assemblies. They made Money until it was changed to a donation for the food.

  All of sudden, they were losing money for the lack of Donations.

  Food Program ended, problem ended!

  I talked to ex RBC member who has applied to work with the LDC 6 months ago and has heard nothing!

  And anyone that I have talked to has not heard of any LDC projects going on in the Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama area.

  There are 3 Congregations in Gadsden, meeting in one Hall that was built 4 years ago. The other 2 Halls were sold to pay for the new one.

  Does it matter which one was the one where Ray Franz went?

  Today's Special Day Assembly Expenses and the $10,499 Deficit. Silent Majority?

  by Tenacious in

  today i attended a one-day assembly in my hometown.

  i knew when it came time to read the afternoon expenses that it would be an incredibly high and ridiculous amount that was nowhere near the real expenses for that day.

  sure enough, after lunch came the announcement.

  I asked our Assembly Overseer about this and he said "The Branch raised our Assessment from 3.50 per publisher to 10.50 per pub, because this reflected the equal balance for our Branch as a whole". Everybody share the same costs!!!

  I've decided to make a difference that REALLY matters

  hello friends!today is a sad day for me, as seven months have gone by since my mother passed away after a decades-long fight with breast cancer..

  because the witnessing/preaching/teaching work doesn't make any sense to me anymore; because it's not about any "truth"; and because it's basically useless, i've decided to quit doing it.

  instead, i've decided to do something that actually can make a real difference in other people's lives.
