Did you ever notice that, when a dub moves, all the other dubs help? I remember many a time when someone moved, the person would just pass it around to everyone in the kingkong hall, and they'd all show up to help. Those who had trucks were obligated to show up. It was a given that everyone would show. No one ever hired movers.
Why is that? Can't people take care of their own responsibilities every once and a while?
Don't know where you live, but in all the moves I made as a witness, I was not offered assistance by other witnesses.
I've been ripped off!!
Maybe I should just send each congregation I was a part of a bill for their share of the moving expenses? hahahaha

I remember all that "moving" shit all too well. Every time someone moved they called me. I can't count the number of times I moved people in the congregation.
Then, one winter I slipped on some ice and injured my knee. I had surgery and couldn't work for the next few months. I lost my apartment and had to move, but no JW would help me move. I had to take what I could carry while on my crutches and leave my furniture behind.

No one ever Helped my Family Move or do anything.
Not even when my older brother had a Tumor no help there!

That was one of the nice things about being a JW............everyone helped.
When we've moved my JW mother, none of them show up because "it's the family's responsibility". If we were witnesses, I know they would help.
Is this a joke....
NO HELP AT ALL..... proof that "god" hates me.

Yes, we had help moving (not asked for-they just showed up), and my husband helped so many times we lost count. Roofing was another thing-my husband spent so much time on hot, humid days helping others. I made the comment one time that we would hire ours done, because I couldn't see why we should expect brothers to do it for nothing. I just got that glazed-over, I can't understand where you are coming from look I was so used to getting.
But of course they usually had to rent a moving van, because no one ever had pickup trucks. Kinda hard to load furniture into a 4 door Buick.
And god forbid, if you did own a truck as an extra vehicle you were sure to get asked to help move.
Hey, if you're in the click, you'll get all kinds of help with moving! It's one of the perks to stay within the flock.
Actually it's kind of nice. Isn't that a real brotherhood should be like?
