  Hi stuckinarut2
  

  Yes, he has posted here.

  He has posted here you say Rebel8??

  Really?

  I believe rebel8 is referring to Lawrence Hughes?......
  

  The newspaper article linked to in the OP was based around an interview with Lawrence Hughes.
  

  The picture posted in the OP, from that newspaper article, is described as being of his daughter's funeral. Bethany.

  Lawrence Hughes has posted in the forum - for exampe:

  Advanced Warning I - WT August 2016 "Study" articles re "Reaching Out"

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the brief outline for this item makes reference to the most recent wt on the subject of "reaching out" (august 2016 - pages 20 - 29) if you are a jehovah's witness and thinking about becoming a ministerial servant or elder, then please consider the following information prior to attending the kh for this week’s wt “study” and the week after.

  first - if you hope to become an elder, in the uk you will also become a charitable trustee.

  you will not be given any training for this part of your role.

  Hi zeb!

  "These Jehovah witness elders are shown themselves to be woefully ignorant of standard practices in the real world, seriously unprepared for the hearings, completely lacking in compassion for the victim and untrained to be real shepherds and all have consistently poor memories."

  Australian Royal Commission.
  

  all the ARC stuff is online isn't it, I've looked, but can't find the above quote - where did you find it?

  Was it said by the ARC Chair, or in one of the submissions / statements made at the ARC, rather than by the ARC?

  I'm not disagreeing with the quote, just wondering with how it's presented
  

  TIA

  Any update on where the quote is from that you gave above?

  All the ARC stuff is online - transcripts, submissions etc - so can you give a link please

  TIA

  Hi freddo

  ignoring the post 9/11 fall-out, it's interesting to see be reminded of some of the apparent reasoning for not moving previously.

  Of course what's changed now is that they'll need a much smaller footprint - but the move was to Essex was all in place before the major downsizing - as can be seen comparing the original Essex scheme with the current one.

  It was when I had 14-15 years. It is a sexual molestation.

  Well, unfortunately, your account appears to have changed then - the article in El Periodico clearly just stated '16' - it was an article you evidently helped in writing and one that you commented on here freely, without taking issue with the '16' bit - in fact I believe this is the first time ver here you've even mentioned being 14 / 15

  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??
