this is from a recent article about malawi, and the caption calls the man "brother welosi mbendera".. .
If their KH has a "library" or "back room", he will likely be brought in after the meeting and encouraged to shave it so as not to stumble the other people in the neighborhood. They might think he rides a Harley, has a Satanic tattoo on his back and does drugs.
Also, the sister has a "green" hat that may be too worldly in their opinion. It may bring too much attention to her.
Note: I bet he got that tooth knocked out in a bar fight with a rival group.

probably not new to many of you but i'm gonna post it anyway!.
i went to a circuit assembly last week at the fremont, ca assembly hall in fremont, ca to be with my wife so she could be there to 'witness' the baptism of a person she "studied" with about 2 decades ago!.
at the main entry to the assembly hall there are 3 or 4 large double door entrances.
Now I better understand when I entered the assembly hall the last time, instead of some kingdom songs, they were playing the old song by the O'Jays 'Money, money, money, money"

i'm not really sure where to put this post or "thread", so i'll just put it in the physical activities area.
i just want to know if anyone on the forum has any experience with having a hip replacement surgery done on them, or perhaps a friend or relative.
what was your experience, if it was you?
titch ...
Just don't don't try the "hips don't lie" thing by Shikira anytime soon ... lol.
Seriously, I know several people that have had it done and overall are very pleased. Nothing is perfect, but they all say it is a definite improvement.

i received a call from a friend in new york city that don adams passed away late last evening (30 dec 2019).
many of you bethelites know him and he was the president of the society for a number of years after the gb got out of the corporate structure business.
from what i understand, he was generally liked by many there.. some in my family knew him.
Will they do some sort of video memorial for him or any of the gb?
carla ...
Good question. It would not surprise me now with the jw dot org thing, that there would be more information and detail than was typically provided in the past. It used to be briefly mentioned that so-and-so has ended his earthly service or something similar.
Since Don did not claim to be of the anointed, I'm not really sure how they will handle it. But again, they now have a much larger communication channel with the internet than before with only the WT/Awake/KM.

When he was on a judicial committee they did it in the cone of silence.

Some in my family knew him. I met him a couple of times. Seemed like a nice person.
Anyway, he had been in poor health the past year. He was either 94 or 95.

i was just wondering this morning about all the kingdom halls and branches being sold to "babylon the great" and other businesses.
every single kingdom hall and bethel branch that has been sold was "dedicated to jehovah" by the watchtower corporation.
a special meeting with a guest speaker gives a talk and then offers a prayer dedicating the building to yhwh.
How can a building dedicated to God, be sold?
They disfellowship it first and then treat it as a "building of the nations."

I can see there been some sort of subscription fee
joe134 ...
Yes, I could easily see the online site with two sides, one for the public (free) and one with the "deeper truths" for a monthly fee (let's say 3-5 dollars). All publishers would be expected to have the premium service.
This alone would guarantee a steady stream of cash coming in each month.

he has been “impeached “.
will he be convicted in the senate?
is he so “damaged goods” that he is ineffectual?
In the past, a young person may say "I want to be the President when I grow up." An office to look up to and aspire to be.
Those days are gone. Privately, even Republicans would not want their children to grow up to be anything like him.
That's just the way it is.

i was so stoked about the whole idea a few years ago, but am having serious misgivings at this point.. what are your experiences / impressions / opinions?.
He traded it and purchased a land rover.
SilentB ...
Not to pee on your neighbor's parade, but he will likely have the Land Rover back in the shop about as often. My neighbor had one for about a year and the crane was there to take it away at least twice that I saw due to an electrical issue and a starter that kept shorting out. He was tired of the check engine light coming on all the time.
He traded it in on a Lexus SUV about two years ago and couldn't be happier.
