kingdom hall south dakota live stream.....i found this video on youtube.com.
it reminds me of my old kingdom hall where hardly anyone is sitting in the front rows and doesn't seem like they have a large membership.most kingdom halls sit around 200 people at the most and seem to have a hard time filling the seats.. my old congregation had around 45 members when i left 4 years ago.we always seemed to have a hard time meeting the monthly expenses.some months,i was told that some elders would contribute extra money so the congregation would not be in the negative for the month.. how many members did your congregation have while you were still attending and did meet its expenses for the month?.
It's an overlapping congregation.
It takes a spiritual mind to understand the deep things of god. Evidently the congregation is full to the brim and overflowing. If you take the attendance figures from each meeting for last month and then overlap the numbers with the meeting attendance figures for the previous month you will find the hall is actually full.
stephanie, just a warm thank you for going public and allowing us to look into your personal and private life.
congratulations on your victory.
in a better world there would be no need to pursue such a cause, therefore congrats are tempered with unfortunate reality.

JW LEAKS
attending for family reasons, and listen in "oversee" modus to the many comments during the watchtower study.. in my opinion it was a self help article on the subject stress amongst the flock.. leave it all to jehovah and help your self with the bullet points.. what i noticed from the comments is the lot of stress mentioned.
comments after comment they told how they handle their problems.
it is a real toppic amongst them.
The last thing a shepherd wants is for the sheep to be stressed and anxious ... just before he kills them, fleeces them, and then slow cooks their body parts over an open fire. Makes the meat tough.
i was watching a documentary on the development of man and they were indicating that the eating of high protein diet was helping man to grow a bigger brain and then went on to say that cooking the food was the breakthrough on how our brain became bigger then other animals that ate a lot of protein.
does this make any sense to you and what science if any shows cooked protein is better in any way over raw?
your thoughts..
100,000 years ago in a cave far, far away ...
CAVEMAN DUG: Hey Stu, we should squeeze the juice out of these grapes and put them in the water skin bags so we can have fresh juice in the morning with our rock fried bacon and dodo eggs.
CAVEMAN STU: I dunno. I don't care much for grape juice.
CAVEMAN DUG: Too late. I've already filled a bag for each of us. If you don't want yours I'll leave it here in the back of the cave and we can pick it up next year when we come back this way hunting. I'll just push this piece of cork in the top so it doesn't spill.
CAVEMAN STU: Whatever man.
One year later back at the cave.
CAVEMAN DUG: Hey Stu you gotta try this stale grape juice.
And the rest is history!

i will go next year :-) .
JW: Would you like to celebrate the Lord's evening meal with us at the kingdom hall?
ME: Will cheeses be there?
JW: (confused) What?
ME: Well if I'm going to church to drink wine and eat crackers by god there better be cheeses present.
where a few of us here on the forum live is in an emergency situation.
the main spillway on oroville dam -- the tallest dam in the usa -- is damaged.
the emergency spillway, never used before in the 48 years the dam has operated, is eroding.. major confusion and panic occurred when the order went out sunday, late afternoon: this is not a drill!.
compound complex The adjacent communities have been very generous, especially with the huge domestic animal population. Moving livestock, horses, etc. is a big job.
Livestock is one the biggest consumers of time in an area that is preparing for a disaster. In Australia, this time of the year, wildfires can ravage communities and farming districts. Moving the livestock can be a major drama. While insurance pays out the value of your livestock or crops you have to start again. At the present time we have about 40 head of beef cattle on the family farm plus horses. In case of fires we have a horse float and various places in the area we can transfer them. We've fully evacuated twice in the past eight years because of fires. Even if you save the livestock and animals there may be no grass to eat. Cattle are often trucked out just in case a distant fire shifts. Otherwise they are confined to an eaten down area and fed hay.
After the fire comes the rains and everything grows back again. A massive dam burst or torrential waters destroys everything and takes away the topsoil. Here's hoping they fix the problem pronto.
last week a new letter for the boe in germany was published online.
i want to share it with you (poor translation by google, sorry for that):.
to all service comitees of german speaking congregations.
I wish we could bring back the purple one, Prince, by swapping him for the seven holy sopranos in Brooklyn. Maybe get him to do a Watchtower cover version of Purple Rain. I'd sing to that.
WATCHTOWER PAIN
looking at the australian wt memorandum and articles of this line took my attention.. when did they ever undertake works to relieve poverty, some discarded bethelites facing poverty would laugh at this, more like charitable works for the extension of poverty.
but no poverty facing the ultra heavies and gb members replete with obscene displays of the means of telling the time..
Upon entering Bethel and becoming a member of the Worldwide Religious Order of JWs each JW must sign a Vow of Obedience and Poverty.
There's the "poverty" referred to in the WTBTS Australia's Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Thanks for the email link. I've just emailed in this recording of a pioneer ministerial servant taken at a JW wedding in Berlin.
