Judicial commities in Brazil
by gringojj ini asked a similar question a couple days ago and the thread went off course.
my question is does anyone know how the wts hold is kept over the people in the rapidly growing areas of the world?
i would imagine the hold they have over the people there is less.

Third World WTS
by gringojj inthe wts is growing rapidly in poor countries this we know.
but my question is how are things conducted in these areas?
the wts could be baptising people left and right just to show the number of jws worldwide is increasing.

Watchtower play on words
by Jahna ini was looking at the aug 1, 2004 watchtower which discusses government, and on page 6 it basically states that the jw?s provides volunteer relief during times of disaster.
it points to earth quakes in el salvador in 2001 where the world wide brother hood sent not only relief but the jw?s built/repaired over 500 homes and 3 (here is the key phrase) houses of worship.
ok sounds great right, how noble a gesture.

WTS and charity?
by gringojj inmy sister in law was going to have her electricity shut off and she brought her notice to catholic charities and they paid it for her.
makes me wonder would the wts do the same?
are they known to do anything charitable besides spreading the good news?

I really blew it......I am the nightmare householder!
by Why Georgia ini really blew it yesterday.
we had just gotten home from a very long day and we were contemplating what to do for dinner and then a knock at the door.
the sister was back with an elder and he asked to speak to my husband...completely got his name wrong.

JW Monopoly
by gringojj ini was playing monopoly tonight and thought what about a monopoly based game about the wts?
you could buy the land, build kingdom halls, sell them for profit, then on the chance cards it would be called new light and you could get things like new kingdom halls or land or bad things like the wts decided to sell your land or they are begging for money and you have to pay them 100 bucks.
you wouldnt get 200 for passing go because the wts doesnt give back.

Hall's "For Sale" sign removed
by observador ina while ago i posted about a kingdom hall in the area that had a for sale sign up.
now, driving by the other day, i noticed that the sign was no longer there.
so, i drove into the parking lot and the meeting schedule sign is still there and "kingdom hall" sign is still up.
