6 branches subsidize the rest of the branches.
by hoser ini went to the meeting this morning and we had some guy from overseas bethel give the public talk.
6 countries subsidize the rest.
he said in some countries all the donations that they get from contributions don't even pay the electricity bill for the branch buildings so money has to come in from these 6 richer countries.

Smiling at a Disfellowshipped JW instead of Completely Ignoring him
by ProfCNJ ini was driving our car going to our assigned territory for our sunday field minsitry (was with jw 2 sisters) when i saw a disfellowshipped jw riding his motorcycle heading towards us.
the guy was df'd around 2 months ago only (won't delve much on his case).
approximately about 10 meters, we saw him smile.

Not sure if it is still the case but I know for a fact that the British branch was sending millions of pounds abroad annually to support other branches not that long ago.

Yup. I've seen it all now. A Mexican wave, missionaries paraded around the field, being cheering and whooping like they were superstars. The masses LOVED it.
The worst bit was the resurrection video. To play on peoples' emotions like that is simply wrong.

When I said he kept saying "begins" I meant "begans". It's not even a word!

Herd was off again today but well trumped by Letts on screen, narrating something from 1 Kings. When does that nut job blink?? Anyone else notice he kept saying "begins" instead of "begin"?

Listening to Sam Turd was awful. He is the worst public speaker ever. It was only made worse by the sycophantic laughs at his "jokes".
The traffic has been horrendous. Coaches were only getting out of the car parks at 7:30. We ignored the society, parked 15 mins walk away and are home 70 miles away before some people have got the WTS shuttle bus to their hotel 4 miles away.
Unconfirmed reports are that a brother had a heart attack whilst standing stuck on the foot bridge crossing the A316.
