i mean, come on.
if they call themselves the "true", then why are most kingdom halls not as attractive as churches and dont do any better?.
My belief is they are done so plan and practical for resale value/ adaptability.
The typical KH wouldnt need much imagination adapt and to be bought by a call center/office space/vets/doctors surgery/outlet store etc etc etc.
Where as an ornate church... dosnt really have alot of scope and puts the property in a niche market.
A shop or company name above the door wouldnt look out of place. Would you agree?
dont know if anyone has picked up on this news.
putting it out there anyway.. http://www.zocalo.com.mx/new_site/articulo/permitieron-en-iglesia-abuso-de-una-joven.

Maybe if the law starts punishing the elders personally it might help speed up change
got this surprise in my letter box today.just got my personal invite for the memorial this year, through the letter box!
i am pimo.
goes to show how little info they have on me.they do not even know where i live and so thinking it is a "worldy" persons house pushed one through.
Yes they letter dropped the whole street. Didnt knock a.single door.
so after years of being out of the orginization, and using a pseudonym i have put my face out there for the world to see.
the repercussions have been real.
but i am also convicted in my stance.
Congrats.
Posting my face here was extremley liberating also.
lie 1).
when you leave the jws you will be unhappy and will have a hole inside you that only the ‘truth’ will fill.
only when you return to the jws will you feel complete again.. utter nonsense!
My thoughts mimic yours.
When i was first Df those wicked worldy folk took me in. Both literally put a roof over my head and emotionally supported me.
And point 3. Lived in my current house 5 years neither me nor my neighbours have had a jw visit. But just the other day i heard the letter flap go and it was a memorial invite being put thru the door. They dont even knock! They act like the kebab house and just drop a menu!
delighted to see that my old congregation seems to have had its kingdom hall taken in the worldwide money grab.
eccles, manchester.
hall was in swinton but no longer appears on jw.org and the cong seems to be meeting in urmston.
I feel like ibsa properties needs a thread to itself. I am gobsmacked.
i happened to be in my old town last week, i decided to drive past my old kh in n.wales,.
to my suprise there was a large 'for sale' sign hanging off it!.
this is a semi-remote area with the nearest other kh's a good 30 mins in every direction.
Would you mind sharing the name of the agent selling it
did anyone else have really lazy people in their congregation when it came to the field circus.
people where i live are shamelessly lazy, they drive door to door even when the houses are 3 feet apart!
yes even in town houses they drive door to door.
Me and another pioneer (also now df) used to get territory cards off the elder who looker after that stuff.
We would pick the areas furthest from where we lived and walk there. Count the time and then walk back as it was now too late to do any knocking "street witness" there and back.
But mostly we ate mars bars and put the world to rights.
does anyone have an update on the developement in chelmsford?.
i'm always keenly slightly interested in hearing about jehovahs blessings..
