Hey The Searcher!
how's your search for single use K.H.'s in London getting on? Be interesting to see how many are used by just one congregation.... as these are the most likely to be the first to go....

Using the term "Watchtower" when talking to a JW
by Sanchy inhas anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?
i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.
some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".

Hey zeb!
May 22 Awake! of 1969.
(This was removed from public access)
How was it removed? on any reprints it was missing.Ah yes, it was missing from the reprints - oh, but, wait, no....
Only the Watchtower bound volumes were ever reprinted.
And actually, although that project was definitely started - I believe it was probably never finished due to technology overtaking it with the release of the Watchower Library on CD......
Kingdom Ministry October 1987, page 8
Reprint of Watchtower Bound Volumes
What a wonderful provision the Watch Tower Publications Index 1930-1985 is for research and study! However, many brothers do not have in their personal or Kingdom Hall library all the publications referred to in the Index. In order to help provide some of this material, the Society is planning a reprint of The Watchtower bound volumes for the years 1960 through 1979, in English only. These reprints will be produced as we are able to work them into our schedule. It is our intention to make these available five volumes at a time. Orders for the years 1960 through 1964 will be accepted during November. -

(This was removed from public access)
Yeah, it's an important quote and magazine....
But apart from the initial magazine printing, bound volume production and it then going naturally out of print as would be expected of any periodical - how has it been removed from public access?
Has it ever been re-published or re-printed and then public access removed?
In other words, has there ever been public access to it apart from the initial magazine printing and bound volume production? - because you can't remove something that wasn't there to start with........

Hey The Searcher!
Hmmm, I'm kinda still gonna call you out.....
From The Searchers third post in this thread:
I stand corrected and defer to your alertness. I should have said "many already share a hall and the few that don't, appear to be getting moved into other K.H.'s." New light provided.
Thanks for highlighting the error.Really? 'many already share a hall and the few that don't' - Really? - sorry to disappoint
It appears that EVERY K.H. you listed in your opening post is shared between two or more congregations - actually, as I highlighted earlier in my previous post on this thread, on average EACH hall you listed is actually shared by 3.5 congregations.
Why didn't you list the London K.H.'s that aren't shared, and are used by just one congregation?
the irony of usernames
Anyway, no bad feeiings ..... I'll even start you off.... you see, I'm a nice and helpful person
- London, East Molesey at 70 High Street, WEST MOLESEY KT8 2LY
- London, Richmond Park at 29a Alexandra Road, KINGSTON UPON THAMES KT2 6SD
- London, Swanley at Bremner Close, London Road, SWANLEY BR8 8TG
- London, Tolworth at 16A Derby Road, Tolworth, SURBITON KT5 9AY
Now it's over to you......
You see, and let's be clear about this, I'm not saying that all London congregations share their K.H.'s - some don't (see above).
Rather, I'm calling you out because I believe most people would have understood that your opening post and title was implying that the majority of the 35 London K.H.'s that you had listed - not just a couple but 35!! and all in London!! - had just one congregation meeting in them.
And therefore - quite understandably and quite easily - that single congregation could be moved to a neighboring K.H. - hey! hey! - and free up real estate that could be - in your words - 'sacrificed for filthy lucre.'
Oh, and not forgetting the mysterious 'according to the org's website, various congregations will be moving in with other congregations, effective January 1st 2017' message that you haven't shown or provided a link to yet (or even a screen shot) ??

Hey The Searcher!
Hmmm, I'm kinda still gonna call you out.....
From The Searchers second post in this thread
if you click on JWdotOrg - About Us - Meetings - Find a Location Near You - Location to Search Near, you can find all of the K.H.'s which serves only one congregation - at the moment!
No you can't.
Sorry, let's be a bit nicer about this
Please can you help me by providing a step-by-step guide as I can not see how you can search for K.H.'s that serve just one congregation - thanks!
Oh wait!... is it the same method as you used to get the 35 K.H.'s in your opening post?... because I don't think that method works... see my above post/list
