jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.
at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.
an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.
I'm sure many of us can make a good guess at what is going on here.
They do not need to build 70 halls...but they do need money for expensive pay outs for peadophile cases. Thus the big cash call.
Utterly disgraceful.
how many here are (a) ex-jw, (b) non-jw with jw relatives or spouses, (c) inactive jw, or (d) active jw who stay in for your own reasons?.
Inactive JW.

it may happen in 3 years.
the us will no longer be #1 in the world.
The front page of the UK 'newspaper' The Sun last Saturday made me laugh:
If the 'special relationship' AKA the anglo american world power went, then that's a huge chunk of JW prophecy gone.
worth a listen on the podcast.
talking on the issues of his life as a jehovah's witness and the child abuse issues.. plus a backlash afterwards by a few jw sympathisers.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01ffl21.
Agreed with AnnOmaly. Very interesting. Did no JW fancy defending their faith?
Love that blatant lie from the WT Spokeman re 'good morals' (I'm guessing referencing disfellowshipping): "And if someone feels that this conflicts with their lifestyle choice we wish them well on their journey".
Hmmm...since when did shunning someone forevermore = wishing them well on their journey?
tonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.
of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.
the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.
Out of interest:

What were these eight?
been doing some research on this.. back in ctr's day the feet of clay and iron symbolized (i think) the ten kingdoms: http://www.bible.ca/pre-miller-1843-ellen-white.gif.
by 1958 they believed what they do now, that it's the anglo american dual world power: http://www.a2z.org/wtarchive/docs/1958_your_will_be_done_on_earth.pdf (pdf page 126).. but does anyone know what year the wbts started believing that the feet of clay and iron symbolized the anglo american dual world power?.

Thanks Glander, 1009 and Farkel.
It was for later use with JW's, that the WT never correctly interprets prophecy. The Kingdom Is At Hand quote does it perfectly. It's all very well to say that you're Gods true channel of communication but when you get stuff wrong constantly and your prophetic understanding is based on how history pans out then it means diddly squat.
Cheers for that.
if anyone has any unwanted jw books or brochures let me know.
not really in a position to buy them from you but i could cover postage maybe?
my jw friend says she'll get me copies of things but never does.. apologies if here was the wrong forum place for this post.. .
Quite a few are available as PDF's Rob. Search through these and then search online for a PDF:
