How do believers defend a god who is going to murder billions and pin it on them?
by tootired2care inat that time those slain by the lord will be everywherefrom one end of the earth to the other.
they will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.

What is happening in Mexico?
by ILoveTTATT ini have heard that a lot of the english congregations in mexico are shutting down... they are condensing 5 congregations into one, or in some areas even disbanding the only english congregation.
jw's who have been living in mexico for many years and probably were sheltered by being in the english congregations will now have to move to spanish congregations.... .

We'll I can officially confirm about the closure of English congs in Mexico is correct. I have just spoken to a Gringo witness that lives there and he confirmed it. The reasons he gave for the closures was.
To improve English
to get a better job
females going there to find a foreign husband.
The Gringo witness said that where he lives they turned 3 English speaking congregations into 1.
So yes it is correct.

What is the watchtowers policy on harbouring illegal immigrants
by hoser ini just read an opening post by el_ guapo about a one-eyed blind illegal immigrant that was staying at jw's houses because she couldn't find any work.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/262454/1/news-that-tugged-at-my-heart-strings.
aren't there laws against harbouring illegals?.

Although I don't live in the north Americas I have heard if you are not a legal resident you cannot hold a position in the cong. You can however go out in F/S.

You're old friends may be recently awakened and all alone.......
by EndofMysteries ini recently found out several old friends have left and been on their own so to say.
it gave me an idea to check up as best as i can on my old friends because we all know many are alone when they first get out.
if you find any, you'll also have a special connection of having gone through the same thing, etc.

Dismember= in the cong that I have faded from in less than 18 months they lost just under 10% of the congregation. I know this figure to be correct because I was taking note of it. I know at least half of those walked out for the same reason I did. Lack of fellowship. Last service year the country where I reside showed a modest decrease. I'm just asking myself why it wasn't more

Louis lane. I do believe you are correct to a point and "YES" they are making money at the moment. But the thing is, is that once these assets are all sold what then. I don't think that they can keep forever building and flipping over real estate. Sooner or latter the R&F are going to wake up. I can just see this realestate thing coming back to bite them.

Just adding another one of my bethel memories. They had the outside of the Bethel painted. After this was done they then announced they were going to sell it.

I was involved in an English speaking congregation in a 3rd world country. To be honest I thought the whole thing was a bit of a waste of time. Most in the cong were 18 -30 year olds (who's parents were witnesses) who were their to either improve their English or because it was seen as been cool and with the hopes of been able to find a foreign husband/wife. Out witnessing most of the day was just spent driving aimlessly around trying to locate people who had an English surname in the telephone book. Usually when we arrived they were not home. Total joke really.

WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!
by JW GoneBad injws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.
at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.
an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.
