Yeah, like the JW I overheard on a KH remodel who matter of factly stated: "The GB cares about safety!"

Plans for huge Jehovah's HQ take shape
by insidetheKH inplans for a huge jehovahs witness commune on the outskirts of chelmsford are gathering pace.. the international bible students association, the charity which manages jehovahs witnesses printing and literature distribution, wants to create a new british headquarters.. the 82-acre site (about 15 football pitches) at temple farm site, off ship road, west hanningfield.. the plans include a printery - producing bible-based literature - admin and language translation of?ces, video and sound production studios, an auditorium, training centre and workshops all on site.. plus there will be one and two bedroom apartments - for up to 1,200 residents and visitors - along with onsite caterers, laundrettes and healthcare facilities.. the site would also have its own energy centre - making it self-sufficient - and a new access road would also be built from temple wood.. a resident from stock, 60, who didnt want to be named, said: its all a bit sci-fi if you ask me.
its a very unusual development, a commune really.
i wouldnt say i was against it as it is all a bit of a mess at that site at the moment.. the land, currently occupied by a car breakers yard, was removed from the green belt by chelmsford city council in 2008 and earmarked for employment use.. ibsa agreed to buy the land from its current owners in december, as long as they get planning permission for the project.

If you think that's unrealistic, I knew of a JW husband who made his wife dress in meeting clothes for their "family worship". And that was years ago even before they instituted this arrangement. This guy ended up leaving his wife after he went to work off-shore. I saw him in a local tv commercial years later sporting a goatee (ooh, that's real bad ass).

Unlimited Money
by pontoon inwe know the place on the lake was not their first choice.
another property in tuxedo park was but they were not able to get permits, lawsuits followed with the former owner, don't know how it turned out but it was a mess.
wat kept the property in tuxedo to use as a staging zone for the big construction at sterling forest lake.

"Woe to the one building... 14 the one saying, ‘I am going to build for myself a roomy house and commodious upper chambers; and my windows must be widened out for it, and the paneling will be with cedar and smeared with vermilion"

Did I say too much, and scare away my elderette? What has happened to Miss K?
by Faithful Witness ini have had 3 sessions of what is most likely being tracked as a "bible study" with an elderette who is from the kh we stopped attending about 3-4 years ago.. after last week's visit and bible verse study, she asked me if she should return.
i had expressed concerns that she was a heretic, and i had a friend who had warned me not to let her into my house.
i told her i had to think about whether i wanted to study the bible teach book with her.

That woman's mind must be spinning by now. The best you can do is bring up one specific issue that you have, ie., WT NGO, two-witness rule, or 1914 Generation and plant a seeds of doubt. This lady is good, she has all the WT answers to everything and you are the one that needs to be readjusted. Have fun.

WITNESSES CAN STOP REPORTING FIELD SERVICE!
by The Searcher inthe lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .
a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".
b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

Yea, I can see where the legal eagles have had their hands on the whole trolley business, ie., what if publisher X "loses control" of his assigned trolley and it accidently hits and causes an elderly person to fall and break her hip, then publisher A will get his ass sued NOT the WTBTS of NY.

An increase in security at this summer's conventions??
by gingerbread inwe've heard from friends in two separate congregations in our city that convention security will be tight.. the brothers made announcements this week and reminded everyone to be sure to wear their name badges.
those that don't may be questioned and have their belongings searched.
the same will be happen to anyone arriving during the sessions.

Giving the ASL gesture for "masterbate" will let you in, no questions asked.

Hold back a lonely single sister from working at a KH remodel in order to get back at her for complaining to the CO about your lack of concern for her general spiritual welfare?
Would like to know if this kind of BS or other similar shenanigans you former/current elders can honestly admit to.
