  The 117 Building was where the Gilead classes were, wasn't it?

  Juarez MX Assembly Kingdom Hall to be sold.

  by ironsnake656 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are several confirmed announcements in some congregations around the city regarding the sale of the assembly kingdom hall.

  one of the reasons why it will be sold is that expenses are not covered by donations.

  the hall was dedicated in 2009. actually, in some congregations the elders have not given the announcement for the publisher's reaction... .

  Since Assembly halls are generally used only 2 days a week, and sit mostly vacant 5 days a week, I have always wondered how they have found it economically efficient. Surely it would cost less, all things considered, just to rent a stadium or other facilities for the assemblies.

  has anyone noticed this new song?

  i think it's absolutely beautiful.

  it's got a film score quality about it, with depth and feeling.

  OK, I'm confused, TWoY gives the song number as 143; I am seeing it as #77 in the jw org app. Which is it?

  It's not bad, with that performance. But at the local hall here, they make it sound awful!

  chapter 13. they get my heart, soul and my body.

  saturday morning i was up at 6:30. it was fun trying to share small bathroom with seven other guys, all trying to get ready in 20 minutes.

  i threw some cloths on and headed to first “morning worship.” gilbert said i could sit on his table since there was an extra space there.

  I visited my brother who was at Bethel in the 70's, and I recall the same table scene that Keith describes. The visitors (like me) and the new boys stood out like a sore thumb because they didn't have the table methods down right. Passing the food the wrong direction, etc, got a swift correction.

  I had never heard of Blunden before now, but if he died at 75 in 1915, he would have been one of the older of the Bible Students. I wonder about his role, what years he was a director, etc.

  So how did JF Rutherford function...?

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every picture i have seen at him at beth shirim and other private places are with a bottle of alcohol.. while for me personally i couldn't care less anymore.... for jw's this is low moral character.

  so i'm an going to guess he was a functioning alcoholic... how did that work with his closest workers?

  was he gay too?

  There is a video out there of Rutherford sitting at a table and drinking, but there is no bottle and while it is likely it is alcohol, it is uncertain. I detest Rutherford personally, but I think his drinking is overblown. His general mean- spiritedness did more to hurt the JWs than any alcohol usage.

  I love that era and genre of music. His performance of Gentle on my mind is very moving to me. The tune was written by John Hartford, of course, but Campbell made it a hit.
