  by Brainfloss in

  1. watchtower

  so is this the $5000.00 that each congregation allowed to keep really the same amount for all congregations?

  i mean $5000.00 in pratt kansas goes a lot further than 5k in los angeles california.

  seems strange.

  I mean $5000.00 in Pratt Kansas goes a lot further than 5k in Los Angeles California. Seems Strange. The amount of reserve should be based on the property value of the building needing potential repairs.

  Quoted from above:

  Still, when exposed to unscriptural teachings, regardless of the source, we must decisively reject them.

  If only the R&f would follow this sound advice.

  9 through his son, jehovah established an arrangement here on earth that works in harmony with the invisible part of the organization.

  why is a visible arrangement needed to accomplish the work described at matthew 24:14?

  consider three reasons.. 10 first, jesus stated that this preaching work would take his disciples to the most distant part of the earth.

  9 Through his Son, Jehovah established an arrangement here on earth that works in harmony with the invisible part of the organization. Why is a visible arrangement needed to accomplish the work described at Matthew 24:14? Consider three reasons.

  10 First, Jesus stated that this preaching work would take his disciples “to the most distant part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Second, arrangements would be needed to provide spiritual food and to care for those engaged in this work. (John 21:15-17) Third, provisions would have to be made so that those preaching the good news could gather together to worship Jehovah and be taught how to carry out the work. (Heb. 10:24, 25) Accomplishing these goals could not be done by accident. For Christ’s followers to be successful, the work would need to be well-organized.

  11 How do we demonstrate our support for the arrangements made by Jehovah’s organization? One important way is by always putting our confidence in the ones whom Jehovah and Jesus are trusting to lead us in our preaching work. There are many activities or causes in the world today that could vie for the attention of those taking the lead among us. Yet, what has consistently been the focus of the visible part of Jehovah’s organization
