Interesting announcement made at the Assembly
by mind my own inthis goes back a year ago, my mom was trying to get me to go to the district convension b/c there was a major announcement being made.
of course i didn't go (why go back after all these years?).
anyway, she called me when it was over and i asked her what the announcement was.

There was an Elder at our old hall who said (from the platform) that the Great Tribulation had already started. This was about 4-5 years ago. Of course, this particular Elder said many kooky things. He was one of those people who wanted everyone to think that he was smart, so he would always come up with something off the wall then explain it via some convoluted explanation. The really sickening part was that this congregation (average IQ-47) ate it up! Audible oohs and ahhs I had permanent bruises on my chin from my jaw constantly hitting the floor the whole time we attended that congregation.
Iron Rod, very funny! Thanks for the good laugh.

Moonmanchu,
thank you for posting the pictures. This board has helped a lot of people because everyone contributes a little bit of information about a aspect of JW life that not everyone knows.
It's like a puzzle of which everyone has a piece. -

We have to remember, too, that "Jehovah's people" once rejected vaccinations of all kinds.
So, this case now doesn't surprise me much, even though I'm not sure of what the rational could be.

You won't believe this: a KH turned into a church!!!
by observador inabout two years ago i posted here some pictures of a kingdom hall for sale.
that was quite something to me; had never seen something like it; never thought i would.
always thought that a progressive, ever increasing true religion would be always building and expanding, not selling.. but what wasn't my surprise when i passed by the other day and the damn hall had been sold; worse, the old, glorious hall had become a, gasp... a church!!.

greendawn,
cooperating with an enemy with whom the R&F must have absolutely no dealings even doing any repair work on their buildings is not allowed
You make a very good point: The ultra-right JW cannot even go to a wedding ceremony in a Church, but the ultra-right elders/WT can sell the property to a church and perpetuate what it is seen as a "danger" to a JW.
I just recently came to know about a relationship that ended basically because the groom's mother said "I am not going to the Church for the ceremony. Period".

That's what we were taught, SirNose, but apparently that isn't so. :)

Hello everyone,
About two years ago I posted here some pictures of a Kingdom Hall for sale. That was quite something to me; had never seen something like it; never thought I would. Always thought that a progressive, ever increasing true religion would be always building and expanding, not selling.
But what wasn't my surprise when I passed by the other day and the damn Hall had been sold; worse, the old, glorious Hall had become a, gasp... a CHURCH!!
So, it looks like the "waters of Babylon" is not exactly drying up like we thought, humm?
What do you all think?
Enjoy the pics. Here are some from about 2 years ago:
And here the CHURCH:

Suddenly and inexplicably enraged
by katiekitten inmy mum showed me this e-mail her jw friend had sent her last week.. in it the friend explained how wonderful the magazines are and how they provide food at the proper time because they had recently had an article in about ' being prepared for the unexpected'.
the article had told them to have a bag packed with emergency stuff in case they ever needed to leave the house in a hurry.
so they were told to pack dried food, a wallet with important documents in, waterproof clothing etc.. now this, it seems, was pretty relevant because i live in gloucester where were had terrible floods a few weeks ago, and some peoples houses were flooded out, the entire city had its water cut off for a fortnight because the pumping station flooded, and most work places were unable to allow staff in because they were not able to provide flushing toilets or running water.. so my mims friend was totally blown away by how jehovah is so clever - although having dried food and your passport in a waterproof wallet did nothing to help you flush the toilet for a fortnight.. but - now heres to point of this long and rambling story - i suddenly got super angry about this article and its survivialist mentalilty.
