  Taking Back The Kingdom Halls.

  by RunAsFastAsYouCan in

  thesis: the kingdom halls as a real estate entity could be couped; coup d'etat.

  a group of 3 elders as trustees could sell the kingdom hall out from under mother watchtower corporation.

  spread the money to the community or non profits, or just give it as a distribution to the congregation who paid for the kingdom hall.

  Here, where I live in Australia, "we" built a new hall. The solicitor that helped a great deal when "we" purchased the land and the subdivided the unnecessary portion off to be sold had great reservations in "us" signing over the title of the property to the Watchtower Hall Trust.

  He spent a lot of time warning against it, saying that we could hold it locally in trust... Sorry, but that "is not how WE do it" ! We lemmingly signed it over, probably worth well over the Million dollars [au] by now!

  A few of these Aussie CO's retired to a town in Victoria for a while.

  Charles Marriot. Hans Hubler [now dead] Peter Madsen whilst his wife Dorothy died, then he married. He used to like to stay with the "wealthier" ones.

  How about Joe Lewinski? He could turn any situation to his advantage [financially!!]

  CONTRIBUTIONS DECEPTION?

  if i've got something wrong here, i welcome any corrections in my understanding;.

  1. circuit assembly costs are funded by each congregation in the circuit contributing from their kh funds.. 2. donations are requested during the c.a.

  program to offset the costs of 'providing' the facilities.. if the c.a.

  I like it! I have spent a long time having greta debates on dogma in my head! But this is so simple, in fact it is "do-able".

  Thank you.

  Behold! The great multitude! - IS DEAD

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's not just the 'generation' of 1914 that is now gone; so has the 'great multitude' that judge rutherford presumptously declared existed in 1935. probably all of the persons who identifed themselves as members of the 'great multitude' at that convention in 1935 are now deceased.. decades later, in the 1990's, the society came up with 'new light' that the 'great growd' of revelation 7 does not form until the future great tribulation.

  so all those people that stood up in 1935, and those who since believed they were members of a great crowd who would survive an impending great tribulation, were misled.

  the isaiah's prophecy book hails this as an "outstanding moment in the ongoing fulfillment of...prophecy.".
