Care packages from "The Branch"

by DwainBowman in

i'm sorry, i didn't see that someone had already posted about this!!.

i just love the special relief packages that are being provided by "the branch" it's such a "loving provision".

funny how they leave out that it's not costing them a dime, but is being given to them, to pass out!.

A local church had a community day, and were handing out the very same stuff! The difference is that they weren't taking credit for it!

Have you heard of a Jehovah's Witness on federal SSDI disability Pioneering ? How common is this ?

by BottleGate_ in

asking 4 a friend.

Disability, is not Welfare!

I have known many that pioneered while on disability. Most were legit.

I was in a cong for a short time, where if you were working full time, the body pushed you to quit full time work, and take part time, and sign up for food stamps and other welfare programs. If you didn't, do so and pioneer, they would not even call on you in meetings!! This cong, had 70 publisher, with 40 of them pioneering!!!!

my brother in law, eldub, ldc big shot, and regular pioneer.

he's out in service twice a month for a couple hours each time.

he get's to count his ldc time as pioneering time!!!!.

DwainBowman

He dose not work 5 days a week. More like a couple weekends a month. He says that he counts driving time, and time at home going over the project's!

I was just committing on him, not trying to make a point of any kind!

Oh by the way, he's the biggest hypocrite I have ever known! His older brother is a smoker and a drunk, but with his mon's and brother's hely, he's been able to stay in good standing some how!! I have pictures of him doing both, that were given to me by his son! I have seen him many time smoking! His eldu brother threatened me and another family member over this issue!!!

And I thought that my X in laws were big hypocrites !!

Selling KH to another religion

by blondie in

friends

i found this question box in the july 1969 km.

question box (july 1969, p. 4).

• is it all right to buy a church building for use as a kingdom hall or, when a new kingdom hall is built, to sell the former hall for use as a church?

DwainBowman

I spent a couple months helping remodel an old church into a KH in Mississippi!!!

The stage still had a baptism pool underneath it! The last time I passed though that small town, it's a church again!! I guess it was a good ideal to keep the pool, incase the time came to sell it!!!

Hotels Deny Watchtower Discount Rates For 2020 Regional Conventions

by JW GoneBad in

the wtbts is not being given special room rates by 2 major hotels at the long beach convention center area for the upcoming 2020 regional conventions & wt is t'd off.

letters are being read in surrounding circuits and congregations.

apparently wt is afraid that other hotels are going to blackball them as well.. has anyone else heard this?

DwainBowman

I called a hotel on the list once, they were booked up for WT people. I called back a day later, and booked a room. Almost the same price, but I got a couple free meals, and a few other nice perks!!

Most hotels, also give a certain number of room to WT, for their use.
