there was a boe recently (in last few weeks) about everyone in congregation contributing so much towards repairing kingdom hall's in emergencies, vandalism or disasters etc.
does anyone have a copy - i couldn't find it on here.. i want to do a video on this because they say they don't solicit funds but it was announced from the platform????
they might not be passing a collection plate around, but they're just doing it in a different way.. .
Donation List.
How much do you make? __________________________

ask a witness what seems like a simple bible question: "nine verses in the bible tell us that jesus is going to judge the living and the dead.
(john 5:28,29, acts 10:42, acts 17:31, romans 14:9, 2 cor.
5:10, 2 tim.
If they have payed attention and studied wt info, the dead are brought back to life, and judged on the way they behave from that point forward! I have had that understanding all my life!

tell them this:.

eden.
And one day you wake up, and find your in you 50's, with NOTHING to even start to think about retiring with! And in bad enough shape that, you have no clue what to DO!

a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.
break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.
the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.
My dad always parked at the end of the street, so he could go smoke during the break.
Anyone remember when the written review, was taken up and graded? The first congregation i remember, they toom them up and passed them out on opposite sides if the hall for grading. We also had a blackboard, with publishers names on it, with the garde posted, along with our weekly fs report, and monthly Avg, listed for all to see!

"what was the actual significance of that year, then?".
if jw's were overly zealous, what was the exact amount of zeal encouraged by the wts for a non-event which took up.
over 7 years of every jw's time?.
Ri was around for all the hype, leading up to 75, it was NEVER a few overzealous jw's jumping the gun! It all came from on high. F. Franz came to a special event in Alabama, around 74, he spoke very frankly about the excitement building at bethel, and with friends from around the world, reports were coming in, of so many turning there hands to the pioneer service, and that those in school, should also turn to that never to be repeated work, that was rushing to keep up with the kingdom!
At the urging of the co, and elders, I and so many quit school, and set out to pioneer!

it's amazing what you perceive, once you know ttatt.
today's wt mind-control session was an amazing example of cult mind control techniques in action!!
the program was about hearing jeehoobies voice!
Sad to say i heard it on the phone. One way out there case, likened jw's org to a protective jail cell, that were all put in for our own good. Then she went on to say how some are just not happy, and keep tryingtrying to break free! And end up in terrible shape lost on the outside, so wishing they were back in!

this was brought up just in passing on another thread.
but i wanted to see if there are any bethelites or ex bethelites that remember some of the crazy rules we had to follow when we were there..
Well after reading all of thus, I am truly happy, that I had a medical issue come up, just before I was set to go!

automatic bank payments & being disfellowshipped.
as noted on this site, the organization has in place numerous electronic provisions for people to donate money, ranging from one-off payments through to monthly automatic payments from donors' bank accounts into the organization's.. this is all well and good - and consistent with what lots of organizations - religious or otherwise - do.. but, should a donor be disfellowshipped - or disassociated - is the pre-selected donation provision stopped by the organization itself?
do they have any policy at all on it?
They will keep cashing checks dfed people write!
I have known a few true believers that were dfed, and felt it was justified. They kept right on dropping checks in the box, and the elders involved, said it was proof of repentance, that they were still donating!
