there is a kingdom hall up for sale in longbridge birmingham uk and its on the rughtmove website.
They sold our beautiful Assembly Hall here in South Florida (Fort Lauderdale area) a few years ago to an Evangelical Church. I can't tell you how many hours I volunteered in doing maintenance and kept it looking like a jewel here on the edge of the Everglades (and chasing out the occasional alligator that would find its way into the pond in the front).
Folks, you need to grow a pair. Accept the consequences. Butch up. This isn't your father's JW religion.

in the us there is a bill in the house of representatives to decriminalize prostitution.
what do you think about that?.
Many countries such as Netherlands and Costa Rica have it legalized.
When traveling to either one of these countries, I never noticed anything really different than here in the US. The exception is, it is legal.
Nice looking women though, if I may say it. (In Costa Rica, even my wife said, wow!).

when i was 5/6 i remember being in the car with my jw mom and a jw sister.
they noticed a yellow ish glowing cloud in the sky which really freaked them out and they both declared that it must be a sign that armageddon was here!
they then spent the whole car trip declaring that the police and army were about to come and round up all of us.
Don't be so negative.
The end is just around the corner.
It will happen soon, very soon. In fact, sooner than soon.

you used to hear christmas music blaring on every radio station.
not anymore.
people used to jam the roadways and malls to do their christmas shopping and now it’s no big deal.
I don't know where you live but in the USA most places I go its all over. Radio, TV, signs and in stores.
Jimmy Young ...
I think, at least in this context, that it is nothing like it used to be. Christmas music was blasting everywhere, Christmas specials on TV all over the place (even as a JW, I can't tell you how many times I watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer specials).
Here in South Florida, other than malls wanting you to buy stuff, it seems nothing like it used to be.

this is an hypothetical question...i am doing well.
but i was thinking about how my jw family, grandchildren and all will feel when their inactive grandfather dies with no hope of being reunited in paradise.
of course there would be immediate rejoicing if i came back to the "truth" and a surge of conditional love from the "friends".
Don't we still teach that death paves the highway to the new system?
I think it is still taught that there is "hope" of a resurrection.
I am still in, but I have heard that it is better for a person to die in that condition than be alive at Armageddon.
But then, hitting a few meetings at the end would make everyone happy I guess.
Win One for the Gipper.

Thanks for the support my friends..... Seems like he/she has a hair across its ass.
Min ...
If I may further refine your statement, it would be "multiple hairs inside its ass."

People there go out of their way to "educate" people about the many 'folly's' of saying Merry Christmas. Its disgusting. The far left sucks ass.
caves ...
Other than a person being insecure, why does it make any difference about someone saying "Merry this", or "Happy that"? Who gives a rats ass behind?
People need to get a good hobby or something.

And yes, I agree that Kwanzaa is a bogus "holiday". It was stolen from Lammas Day, corrupted, moved to December 26 through January 1, and used as a weapon to racist-ize Christmas.
WTWizard ...
I still prefer Festivus. It was not stolen from anyone and not used as a weapon.

page 24, par.
17 - if you commit a serious sin, do not try to cover the error.
instead, openly confess your sin to jehovah in prayer.
I guess the scripture of "Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing" is applicable in this context.
Report the right hand to the elders.

here are some examples where bible writers used the #, 3!
were these stories ever true, or were they just fabrications and laziness on the writer's part where it just made sense to use the #, 3?.
12-year-old jesus stays in jerusalem, joseph, and mary find him 3 days later.
And then there was something about Peter's cock, it crowed (?) three times while he was in bed or something before breakfast.
Good for him.
