"a few casseroles back in 1970", that's it, really? Pathetic and sad, but very typical. The only charity I've witnessed from witnesses was when an elder called all of the congo family heads into the back school to ask for donations for a. needy family.

Of course, it's assumed that there are no college plans. Why would you ask a silly question like that? She'll live at home, work at Starbucks (part-time) and support the ministry three days a week.

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).

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.
