  In Germany, the Watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls

  by processor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to german april issue of our kingdom ministry, the watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls:.

  it sais that the watchtower logo - a stylised watchtower or a watchtower with a bible - is used by the watchtower society.

  thus, it should not be used by congregations or private persons, neither on kingdom halls, stationary or anything else.

  by 'minor' you mean under 18? ie aged 16? rather than actualy under the 'age-of-consent' which I understand is 16 from 2015 (but was 13 from 1999, raised from age 12 previously?)
  

  
  

  do we get an update on this??

  Hi RubaDub

  They could stock it with trout and have the brothers provide a :"suggested donation" for each trout they kept.
  

  Why? It already is?
  

  Blue Lake, also called Sterling Forest Lake, is located inside Sterling Forest State Park. Blue Lake is stocked annually with 800 yearling Brown Trout, 100 two-year-old Brown Trout and 800 yearling Rainbow Trout. Anglers can also target Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel and panfish. Blue Lake has a nice boat launch and provides anglers with a good opportunity at catching some fish.

  Hi TheWonderofYou
  

  I dont really understand why it was necessery to leave a city-location like this, is it because the printery needs a better traffic connection?

  No, it is understood that printing will finish once Bethel moves to Essex

  Logistically all the literature and magazine deliveries will then be coming direct from Germany to the individual KHs
  

  or more the wish to live on one single spot, but wouldnt there be place enough for the IBSA property behind the watchtower house?

  It's called 'the-elephant-in-the-room'.

  Essex will give them more room I guess - but the downside for Bethelites, just like at Brooklyn, is they're moving out of London to Essex. There's not a lot to do and you'll need a car to do ANYTHING off-site. It's going to make the atmoshpere in Bethel even more of a 'bubble' and 'inward' looking

  Has anything been added to the website since then?
  

  Have they added the history section for Watchtower House since the site was launched?

  Or did wifibandit just miss it out from his post??

  Hi gerry

  you'll probably like to remove the unsubscribe/update preferences from the bottom of the email you posted above.

  actually, you'll probably also like to remove the link in your first post too - it's a 'personal' email addressed to you.

  fyi you should have clicked the link at the bottom of the personal email you got sent - "forward to a friend" - then clicked again at the top of the next page - "email campaign" - which would have given you a 'clean' email you could have posted a link too and/or copy and pasted in full.
  

  just sayin'!

  this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.

  a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.

  the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

  WT Society's credit rating has gone to shit with Bank of America who blackballed them for defaulting on construction loan
  

  Could you please furnish any quotes, newspaper articles or such, to back up this statement.

  haha, oh dear,

  ergo...
  

  they cannot get credit with other major lenders now for construction. Which is another reason they've had to stop construction all over the world and send workers home- except of course not their upstate New York facility - that's priority where the " big boys " will live - so it's considered more important.

  FYI

  Watchtower 15 August 2011, page 22

  Questions From Readers: How are we to understand the figures in the annual service report?

  Each year, we look forward to the service report published in the Yearbook. It is thrilling to see what Jehovah’s people as a group have accomplished in the worldwide Kingdom preaching and teaching work. But to derive the greatest benefit from the report, we need a correct understanding of the entries as well as a balanced view of the figures. Consider a few examples.

  • Service year

  • Peak publishers and average publishers

  • Total hours

  • Money spent

  • Memorial partakers
