  Kingdom Hall Renovation

  hi all, quick question related to renovating k halls.. my in-laws live in another city and the two congs there are in a ten week process of completely renovating the hall.

  the plaster board has been taken off, all the toilets and air cons even the roofing iron and insulation are being pulled out and dumped to be totally replaced.

  it seems like overkill to say the least.

  do they still have the rbc? I thought maybe they haven't had much work due to the fact that rather than build halls they are selling them off, and they need something to do!!

  What gives? Draining more money out of the sheeple and keep flogging them?

  Or is this a new thing that they do?

  Go Bags, Safe houses and cartoon of two kids.

  i have been out a good 10+ years and until recently didnt pay much attention to what the jehovahs are up to.. why have they taken this turn with the bunker videos and making all the brainwashed people like my parents pack a go bag.

  now let me just clarify.

  im a military man i believe everyone should have an element of preparedness canned goods,bottled water and a bug out bag is a great addition ( ill stop waffling on about that now).. but what concerns me is the fact they are advising elderly people to bug out.

  So..I am trying to figure out whether this is an actual wt thing, or just a thing that some dubs do and promote?

  My family lived in a country town in South Australia in 1974-76. We had these two elders move in from Adelaide. They had this idea that we had to be ready to flee at any moment and that the book study would be held in different locations each week and you wouldn't know where until you got a phone call about 6.30 p.m that night. You had to go plain clothes until you arrived, you had to be able to hide your books as soon as the "knock" came on the door. One bloke had torn the pages out of his study book and when the knock came, he shoved them in his mouth and swallowed them! Three families were assigned to each other and if the S hit the F you would go in search of each other! Here we are 42-4 years later. Wonder if they all stayed IN!

  My wife read an Alister Crowley book. He talks about black magic etc and the understanding was that it is a Satanic ritual..The refusal to partake of the blood and body of Christ!!!

  So anyone who refuses the "emblems" is actually a Satanist! According to Crowley.....

  Younger Witnesses less fanatical or fundamental

  by optimisticskeptic in

  i am a born in jw for over 30 years now and have been in various positions in the organization.

  now i'm guessing most of us recognize that older generations tend to be more fundamental and less reasonable when it comes to their outlook and beliefs.

  i find this to mirror the differences you see outside of the organization as well (older people less tolerant of other religions, newer technology, lgbt, etc.).

  It would seem to me that there are a lot of lazy people in it today! Sitting by some trolley with books and magazines on it, no one really stopping to look and the three people guarding it would more than likely be annoyed when someone stops to look, as they have to pause their conversations.

  JW's as a whole have gotten soft! Yes no one could explain most of the Franz doctrines, most didn't care to even try. Yet some of these younger ones,are still very haughty when it comes to those who have left.

  And, by the way, regardless of how moderate it gets, it is still ALL BS!

  don't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.

  the ms who's been given the task is a company man.

  no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

  Didn't they used to have people buying up the old books that listed on ebay? We bought one of the rutherford books and it cost a fortune!

  I still have Macmillans book and Marty Cole book "borrowed from the library before we walked!

  My last "Instruction Talk" [yes it has been a while] was from the "All scriptures inspired" book on Chronology, I didn't like the tone, so I superimposed Ray Franz material over the top. No one ever said anything!
