Great news - Bethel in my country is closing down...
by Albert Einstein inhere in czech republic wtbs opened new bethel home for some 60 workers about 18 years ago.
it was presented as a proof jhvh is blessing and aproving wtbs and of course as a sign that the end is so close.... recently i had with my mil discusions about wtbs selling their property in many countries and cuting costs... she did not believe me..... last week we went to visit her and she told me there was an anouncment at her meeting, that bethel is closing down and the building will be sold.
only translating department will remain in the country in other premises and everything else will be moved to slovakia.. recently there is bethel closing down in spain and italy and several assembly halls being sold here in europe.. i hope this will open eyes to many jw to see the gb in fact does not believe in end being so close .... albert.

the meetings used to be three times a week and totalled five hours.. the public talk on a sunday was reduced from one hour to three quarters of an hour whilst we were still attending and then following our fade we were aware that the tuesday night group book study was stopped.. does this now mean the meetings total three and three quarter hours?.
my husband was asking me this morning and i wasn't sure so wondered if anyone can help me out here.. thanks.. li.

January Watchtower sets ambitious target for growth!
by slimboyfat inindividual action toward increase.
7 when we look at our task and the results thus far, the per cent increase for all nations on the average is splendid; but if we are going to see kingdom interests increase as we have never seen it before, what must we do during the year 2011?
individually, we cannot bring in a half a publisher or a third of a publisher, but we can, as publishers of the new world, aid another creature to understand gods purposes, help him in going out in the work, grounding him well in the truth, and letting him see his privilege of being a minister of the most high to join in this great shout like that of thunder and sing praises that jehovah is king.

hi i am new here
by dawntodaylight ini had started studying with jw because i was curious about the religion because my bf then(now husband) was a witness.
i am a very open minded person and really had i known what i know now i prob would not have been baptized.
i always had my doubts but i really enjoyed the positive aspects that i was learning at the meetings...i studied with my mom in law.i prob shouldn't have done that because she has taken it very personal that we have stopped and even had the nerve to say i started studying to get in good with the fam!!

Beautiful Assembly Halls and Paperback Bibles
by believingxjw inin the u.s. most kingdom halls and assembly halls are not only very comfortable places to meet but also built to please the eye.
the seating, carpeting, sound systems, entrance floorings, murals and wall decorations, dining areas and even apartments in those buildings for the visiting overseers are not only the best available but also very well cared for.
all of this of course is for the glory of jehovah.

Where was "gods Earthly channel" before Rutherford and Russell?
by Vachi 8 He Is inwhere was it in 1600s or in columbus' day?
and if it was here where did it go, or was it "new lighted" into something else?
this whole religion is based on the interpretation of these two.

Oct. 15th WT ( JW Version ) - Don't Trust your Own Viewpoint - it's Distorted
by flipper inonce again our lurking jw friend sent us the oct. 15th jw study version for the wt studies.
in this article you'll observe the wt society really making jehovah's witnesses question themselves, doubt themselves - even if what they are observing the organization doing - they are not to doubt jehovah or the organization, but their own imperfect human judgments.
in other words : " don't trust your own mind - it's skewed ".. under the article titled, " keep on seeking first his righteousness " on pg.8 it lays the groundwork in stating, " seeking his righteousness includes trying to live according to his values, and perfect standards, not our own.
