Did Being A Witness Make You Keep Good Morals?

by jw standards, would you have been df'd by now???

As a teenager I did alot of things that were "wrong" and could get disfellowshipped or disciplined for it. So you could say at that time I lived immorally. But no one ever knew. Now I think I live a normal life. (and of course my normal, is opposite to what the JW consider normal.)

Where is the MONEY REALLY GOING? -- Special Assembly Days, etc

by EyeDrEvil in

i have always wondered why it cost so much to "rent" the space used for local special assembly days and circuit assemblies.... in our case, the society built a large assembly hall, on donated farm land (= free), in the middle of some corn fields 20 miles outside of columbus, ohio... the property has a couple of apartments where some of the travelling overseers live, who help with the upkeep of the building.

cleaning the building was taken care of because of our "privilege" to go out the day before the assembly to get it in good shape (free housekeeping and maintenance work).. so, the society owns the building.

it was built on free land.

You know what got me was in the meetings when they would ask the cong about the CO expenses on the week of his visit. It was put to vote whether you agreed to pay for the expenses or not. Everyone always voted yes, I never remember anyone ever raising their hand no. I wonder what would've happened if someone would have voted no, would they have been counseled???
