  UK Manchester Irlam Congregation - 2012 Income and Expenditure blip

  by Simon in

  just noticed a blip in their income and spending for 2012 - double the usuall income and 10x the normal expenditure.. anyone know why?

  is it something boring like building repairs (was a self-build ~30 years ago, probably starting to fall apart now) or something more scandalous?.

  interesting what a nice little "earner" it is - generating about 10k gbp per year.

  What was the £85k spent on? A new build? Surely all that money that was donated was towards the new kingdom hall???

  so the elder i studied with called round last wednesday.

  i didn't tell him i'd lost my faith, i just said there are a number of reasons i wouldn't be able to return to either my studies or the meetings.

  he asked me whar 2 or 3 of my reasons are so we could discuss them.. my reply: 1 i think all christians should partake of the bread and wine.

  Good replies! Sounds just like my selfrighteous neighbour, so blinkered to the real truth! Youll be labelled apostate now haha! You wont be DF...just make sure you DO NOT answer the door if the elders call round xxxx

  we had a letter read at the end of the wt study today announcing twickenham for our convention, 22-24 august 2014. no amex next year then.. there was also a letter read saying not to book hotels except from the wts list as this would help make it cheaper for the majority as the wts will have greater bargaining power!.

  they are also hoping to book buses and trains.. what a scam.. george.

  We have ours at Coventry Ricoh Arena - funny as I saw Take That there a few years ago and it was a far better atmosphere and then last year I went to my first ever football match (been to lots of football grounds but never for a footie game!!) there to watch Coventry Vs Birmingham and it was FAB hearing the rowds chant "Oh Birmingham is full of ****, oh Birmingham is full of ****, it's full of Brummies, blues and villa, Oh Birmingham is full of ****." Yes as you can imagine it was a VERY different atmosphere he he!! :)

  Oh I would SOOOOO love to meet up with ANYONE. Everyone I know who has broken free of the JWs has a partner to support them. I dont know ANYONE who has done it without the support of someone at home.

  Why can I only post a few posts every few days? I have LOTS to say and cant. I cant even send PMs to people....HELP me admin! :)

  Im about 20 minutes outside of Birmingham. :) x

  Their New Grey Bible- Why the change?

  it's been awhile since i've been here, but i just checked in the other day and have kind of been lurking and reading.

  so, what's the purpose of the change in the jw nwt?

  are they re-writing everything to go along with their new light?

  I heard that since the last translation, new scrolls have been found and so more translation has been made.

  Some of the things Ive come across (at my judicial last week) were the word FORNICATION is now something like sexual misconduct/behaviour. My dad also says the scripture about 'the gate leading to the broad and narrow path' is slightly differently worded too.

  In the UK they had ONLY people who were baptised more than 30 years and elders and their wives were invited to the local assembly hall to listen to a live public broadcast and they presented them their new bibles. I AM DISGUSTED by this.......

  WHY DIDNT THEY RELEASE IT TO EVERYONE AT THE CONVENTION? Why select only certain people? Are they saying that they are somehow BETTER than the rest of us???? Disgraceful for a religion that claims no superiority and rank within the organisation.

  I only noticed any of this since I stepped out of the bubble....Im 35 years old and I feel like a child seeing the world for the first time. Eye opening!

  i wanted to know if anyone on here was df'd or know of any who were...why i ask is because many of the friends i have spoken to, say it's not done, just like that.

  it's a process.

  i have spoken to a re-instated sister and she said by the time they see you, you are pretty much out.

  Ive heard that apparently this is in the elders book or something but they tell you not to tell us....whats upsetting me is I have to sit in front of 3 men and explain my private business to them over and over, like im being charged for murder!!! So humiliating and intrusive! GRRRRRR.......

  ha ha this thread made me laugh and your number plate even more so!! I think next time go with a 'planking' shot....

  I did that once outside my khall back in 1998, I lay across the railings and my friends took a photo of me (back when I was 18 or something) and my dad saw the photo and OH BOY I got in so much trouble for "showing such disrespect to Gods house!" ha ha ha :) happy days x
