DISFELLOWSHIPPED! Can you appeal an appeal?

by Diogenes in

if you've been disfellowshipped and had an appeal turned down can you appeal directly to the branch office?.

does anybody know the procedure on this?.

would you inform the original committee that disfellowshipped you that you were appealing direct to the branch?.

Nina

You can appeal and appeal as noted above. Be aware that the error must be one of procedure in order for the second appeal to succeed.

California has a stalking law. Call the non-emergency number for the police in your area and enlist their help.

why doesn't the watchtower society allow accounts servants to make copies of the accounts report and pass them out to all attendees at the kingdom hall so they can follow along as he reads the report?

that way all the dubs could more fully share in the joy that comes out of giving from the heart?.

at the church i attend we have a quarterly business meeting where every one receives a complete financial statement that has been audited by several committees in order to insure that every penny is accounted for.

no checks and balances in place to verify where all the money really went

Or if it even got there! More than once the amount given as total donations for the month was less than the amount I personally put in the contribution box. I was by no means wealthy and there were several in the congregation who were; I'm sure they donated on a regular basis, so where were the funds?

Do you believe in negative energy?

all of you people are the best, ... because you always have the right answers fast....... last week i had that run in with bro & sis pioneer...and they really beat me up, .

this week a brother called me, with a stupid tax question that i know he had the answer to.

he had not seen me since last year at the memorial...and said...."are you fatter since i seen you?".

Nina

I felt beat up as well, .. everytime I came home from a meeting.

In one congregation where I spent several years almost everyone went out to a restaurant after every single meeting! We sometimes stayed for hours.

Negative energy? You bet there is such a thing...and subconsciously I think we were out to combat it.

NO Kingdom Halls rebuilt or repaired in NOLA - 6 months after Katrina?

by sir82 in

my mother attends a different congregation, and they recently had a "special" saturday afternoon talk/slide show from someone who spent some time in the post-katrina society-organized relief effort.. she says that this brother reported that all of the kingdom halls in new orleans were damaged or destroyed by katrina, and that to date, none of them have been repaired or rebuilt.

the reason that was given was that all of the jws who lived in new orleans are living elsewhere, and the society has little or no idea of where they are.

if i remember correctly, the number of jws there was given as 7000(?).

Nina

Maybe this is why WT asked that donations be made to the worldwide work and not to Katrina relief?

We had an Alaskan Malamute who talked. One weekend we boarded him at a kennel and when we came back to pick him up he clearly said "I love you". The kennel guy almost went into shock! He said that he had heard other animals try to talk but this was unmistakable.

i realized it is the end of the month.

each day as i was passing by the kh this week i was noticing that there was an ever larger group for service - first on saturday, then on sunday a huge number of cars [for this hall], then today a sizable group too.. then it hit me - time to get the field service time pad out and get set to report.. by tomorrow the zeal should be back to normal again.

gezz -was i like this?.

Nina

Prolly the week of the Circuit Overseer's visit. Starts on Tuesday, ends on Sunday, includes inviting all and sundry to the Special Talk he'll be giving Sunday at the Hall.

It's also a short month for those who are auxilliary pioneering.
