so, as well reported, the latest jw broadcasting show is all about giving money.
as far as the wt society goes they have been pretty candid about there not being enough funds to meet the expenditure.
there are plenty of views on if this is really the case or not but underlying this is why are they spending so much money?.
My brother in laws KH, was closed by the co during his last visit. Old building, in very sad shape, and in a run down trashy area. They were told that they mist likely get a new KH, in a good safe location. Well Tuesday night, they found out, they will be getting a mild remodel. Fixing a mold problem, and refresh of the inside, nothing more. The parking lot is gravel and will stay that way!
As little will be spent as possible!
i was talking to my brother this morning.
last night at his meeting, they read a letter from their co. he talked about the earthquake.
he said that if some were moved to maybe take some vacation time, and go do volunteer work in napal.

if you don't know what avvo is, it's a website run by professional lawyers on all subjects, you can ask them any question.
i am looking for all the old jim and tammy bakker, the jerry falwell and oral roberts videos to show you how the governing body is using their scripts, it's totally uncanny how copyright infringement of "begging for money from the poorest segments of society", their totally wicked!
As it turned out, all the money was pledged, with some very wealthy diner making the big pledged that put it over the top. OR lived many more years! But he never got all of the big pledged, because of some falling out between them!

this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.
You summed so much up!
Thank You!

if you were/are in the sydenham (melbourne/victoria) congo you may be very familiar with this a few years back.
a prominent elder who likes the sound of his own voice (hint, his initials are william saad) yes of quite a well connected family, was on a judicial committee who was disfellowshiping one of his own male relatives for repeated marijuana usage.. this story by the way shows how corrupt the whole system is.
as williams family (elders and c/o) had covered up the previous few sorrid outcomes of his drug usage, they couldn't contain the last public viewing of his drug dependency, witnessed by many witnesses ironically... so they held a jc to disfellowship him.
I have known of so many parties arranged because a family member was going to be df'ed next week!
One of my favorites was, a young 20's something, was appointed as an elder, his family had a big part for his promotion, two weeks later it come out he was going to be a dad, to a single sister in the cong, and his wife knew all about the 2 year long affair, and she was in on it as well. Anyway, his family and her's, had a going away party, for them. two years later he was reinstated, along with his wife. 3 years down the road he was reappointed as an MS, 2 more years, appointed as a n elder. 3 years later the cong PO. Then about 7 years down the road, the whole body of elders was removed in that cong, for covering up more of this guys doing's. By the way, his dad and uncle were both elders in the same cong!
The borgdom is sure something!!!!
the new ldc / rbc.
requirements.
there are many requirements, but when you get to the end of the form.
Yes you do. You have to have your RBC card, and be a pioneer, to count time. And like you said, publishers just don't count for much!!!!
As of right now, the RBC is to some extant in operation, but they only carry out what the LDC tells them to do.

It blows my mind the pioneers can get moist of their time in working on building projects! And only token FS, that's supposed to be so important! If I remember right they can also count project time at bigger stuff as well!

I totally agree Stillin, I spent many long days and nights on KH projects, back when I was able. And before that, day and night at CA/DC! I have so many Wonder fun memories from all of those days!
I even have many greast memories from pioneering, and fs!
But when you get your eyes open, to the truth of the matter, it hurts on such a deep level!
