  How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???

  by RubaDub in

  i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.

  at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.

  the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

  In early 2000's the presiding overseer in my congo used to announce the 'XYZ is disfellowshipped.' and then proceed to read a scripture about the sin committed or about the need to shun the sinners.

  FOLLOW THE MONEY !!

  this from j.w survey :.

  https://jwsurvey.org/we knew they did this to a degree, but this is a blatant way of siphoning money to where the leaders want it, with no control, no transparency, and no way for anyone to be able to see where it has gone.

  jehovah’s witness uk headquarters dissolves kingdom hall charities, seizes full control of property and finances.

  @cofty - I'd be glad to see a song composed for this case, kind of "The British JWs told'em to F*** off!" :)

  Hi, Zing!

  Thanks for your help. Those two manuals are practically unknown to the Russian jw community. Still, there is a chance to reach some ex-CO for the CO manual, but regarding the branch manual - chances are next to zero.

  Comparing Assad to ISIS reminds me of comparing Hitler and Stalin. No matter who is worse - the winner is still a genocidal tyrant.

  Will Brexiteers be happy with Phase 2 of Brexit?

  "brussels plans to insist that in order to get that "quick and dirty" deal, the prime minister would have to sign up to eu conditions: alignment with eu environmental, state aid and tax regulations for example.

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50777995.

  would such a deal represent what they thought they were voting for in the referendum?.

  LoveUniHateExams, cofty - thanks a lot, guys. I'm not from the US, but I get your point. Basically, it's the migrants problem, and the lacks in the EU's decision making policies - AFAIU.

  Looks like you, guys in UK, have decided that EU is corrupted beyond repair. I agree that it really has quite a lot of problems. The EU is weak and prone to Russia's influence/money - that's what makes me worry. I wonder what will happen now, when you leave it.

  Could you, guys from the UK, explain briefly what are you pissed off most at the EU/Germany?

  Except from paying the EU money.

  Assad no doubt is a tyrant (like many others today). But the actual reason for this war is nailed down by resolute Bandicoot. It's just another Russian mafia's warfare for it's 'right' to live off the gas and oil resources (selling them to Europe).

  The rest (Islamism, secularism, etc) is just words.
