  One Day assembly in Arizona- $17,000 !!

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  i heard from a reliable source that a one-day assembly in arizona last weekend had a "cost" to the publishers of $17,000.. predictably, the elders were nice enough to obligate the attendees to a $6,000 donation to wt before the assembly "costs" (i.e.

  "rent/extortion) were even met.

  $11,000 rent plus $6000 in extra "donations".

  yesterday my "Dub". mom texted me to ask if I heard about this judgement. (She doesn't know that I dont believe anymore)

  She googled it and learned about Candace conti and the other cases as well. Maybe this will start her out of the Borg. You never know. some witnesses are learning about this stuff.

  Login info is being held tight. Only the elder overseeing the video at the local hall is getting it. At our hall that brother has to go to both the Saturday and Sunday meetings. None of the other elders are being giveN the info. Also each hall has there own password.

  I don't think anything much is coming. They blew their wad at the annual meeting and even that was underwhelming. The live stream is Saturday at 3pm e.s.t.

  This weeks #2 & #3 talk on homosexuality

  by granada35 in

  after a one year sucessful fade and no longer associated with any congreation, i was visiting my sister this week (who goes to the meeting to please her husband for now; i am slowly planting seeds though) and they decided to year this weeks midweek meeting via the telephone.

  since i was a guest in her house, i sat with them in the living room to hear the meeting.

  to my surprise (especially growing up as a gay jw with still alot of anger in my heart over how i was treated), the talks 2 and 3 where on, of course, homosexualiy.

  I cringed during the talks. Our number 3 talk was pretty harsh as well. I have to imagine that eventually talks like that will have to be viewed as hate speech. They read the scripture in the OT where it says gays should be put to death. Our Congo has at least 2 families with gay children. I can't imagine how it makes them feel.

  Tv.jw.org - Average Jdub reaction? I'm getting NOTHING but Silence!

  hello all, as you know, when jw tv was announced, our board went wild.

  many comments, much speculation and alot of negative feedback on the quality, etc.

  well, what has me concerned is that i have not heard a peep from any of my connections left in kingdom-land.

  I think about half of the families in our hall already purchased a roku to stream it with. I'm not really sure if they are excited or not. I think a lot of "the friends" aren't sure how to feel about it yet.

  Interesting stats. Thanks for sharing. The years between 1980 an 1998 saw huge growth. Since then there has been a huge drop off. That's right when the Internet really started picking up steam.
