  All Day K.H. Maintenance Meeting !!!!

  by Poztate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the whole congregation was required to sign up for this all day program.what are they going to talk about for the full day.

  maybe a one hour talk by an elder about "responsible toilet cleaning in this time of the end" with demos as how it can be accomplished.

  only sisters seem to need to listen to that one.. maybe cutting grass to the proper height so we don't bring reproach on jehovah's name.

  The whole KH maintenance system has changed after the replacement of the RBC with LDC. In the past congregations were responsible for minor works (e.g. replacing broken tiles in the toilets, fixing the roof etc). Now these have been put into the responsibility of the LDC. The only thing the local congregation is responsible for is the cleaning and basic preventative maintenance.

  These meetings are to explain to the local congregation what they can do to help keep the hall in tip-top condition and reduce the need to call in the LDC. It's the sort of thing they could easily talk about in 30 minutes instead of a normal public talk but they have to make some meal of going over and over and over contrived interpretations of biblical texts so they can relate them to petty nonsense about cleaning.

  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  This is typical WT double speak where on a day to day basis full deference to the chain of command and organisational structure is required yet when the WTS is threatened legally then suddenly everything is the responsibility of the congregation member.

  It's the same as the statements around "we don't shun", "anyone can leave", "we don't baptise children", "no one is DFed for refusing blood" and so on.

  It's utter bollocks and I feel incredibly sorry for the individual Russian witnesses who will be putting their personal freedom on the line trying to fulfil a centrally pushed obligation to preach which is now being denied as such. I really hope this encourages them to ask serious questions of the organisation.

  Nice to hear from you Viv and thanks for the links. It's worth an occasional reminder that this type of conversation is not a new thing...

  my son sent me a wonderful song a month ago on this thread.

  it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.

  I really hope it works out for you and your son Kate. The spite and bitterness in these situations can be so damaging to children.
