  There was a BOE letter 2009-10-03 on dealing with infectious diseases which basically allowed anyone who is infectious to keep away from meetings. It has never been mentioned since as far as I know. It should be available form Atlantis!

  Just noticed - local needs is followed by organizational accomplishments - usually another money grab disguised as a display of how well they are spending "dedicated funds"

  do you remember those families where all the sons and daughters had weird biblical names?.

  i recall a " machlon" , "eunice" , even a "jehosafath".

  can you believe it..

  Slightly off topic, but it always puzzled me why people used the name Adam when he is supposed to be the worst person in the bible really.

  If it is already up and running elsewhere it must be bringing more money in or they wouldn't be extending it.

  Why are they announcing 2019 conventions so early?

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .

  so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?

  normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??

  The last time there were international conventions like this, all of the "normal" ones were held simultaneously in the UK and had video feeds from London. It wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happens. It means conventions are held at different dates to normal, so advance notice means nobody can use the "I've already booked my holiday then" excuse.

  No meetings memorial week

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the august monthly announcements letter, among other things, says that if a memorial is midweek, there is to be no midweek meeting and if at a weekend, then no weekend meeting.

  previously it was only no other meeting on the same day.

  is this because so many congregations now share halls that scheduling it has become almost impossible?.
