well how the devil is everyone?
i have not been here for a long time........totally lost track of what is going on in jw land, apart from the little bits i hear from family members still in.
(they say everything is swell and that armageddon is just round the corner).... :).was hearing that anniesland congregation in glasgow has been (or is about to be) disbanded.
That's interesting. I wonder how they justified it to the congregation. Simply, "look we need the money, and you can drive ten minutes down the road so don't complain". Who makes rather decision, I wonder. And can local elders stop it?
By the way Scotsman I wrote this thread arguing that WT is in serious financial trouble a few months ago. Not everyone agrees, but the facts speak for themselves.

Thanks Scotsman could you clarify are Anniesland and Kelvin merging congregations or are they selling one KH so two congregations share one KH?
I would be surprised if they merged congregations. I was at Kelvin congregation in the summer and there was 80 or more in attendance.

Not homes? How quaint, do they still do that?
i left the jw organization last year during summer.
maybe some of you can relate.
who of you are agnostic or an atheist?
I think I'm agnostic too. But most people who leave JWs seem to keep some sort of belief in God. Although you wouldn't realise it from reading this discussion board where atheism tends to dominate. We don't hear from believers much on this forum for whatever reason, many keep it to themselves or go elsewhere.
i will soon be done with my jw charity analysis project.
can we make this an official thread for uk congregations being merged/disbanded so i can update the list.
i will post the results when finished.. truthseeker.
I can find a picture of Ardrishaig KH on google but it's not listed on the website. Is it gone?

Yes Annieland is still there. They could easily move in with Kelvin congregation. But ordinary JWs would wonder why? Both are large viable congregations, capable of running their own Halls. If they are to share a hall who will make that decision? Do local JWs have any say in the matter?
Paisley and Renfrew congregations share a hall and only get about 40/60 at the meetings. That's probably a clearer case for merger if numbers fall a bit further. Clydebank and Dumbarton are not far, but both are pretty big congregations. Most Scottish congregations are pretty spread out. (Not easy to merge Oban with "neighbouring" Fort William or Ardrishaig) And the ones that share Halls (Aberdeen, Livingston and so on) are big congregations anyway.
Hang on there's no congregation in Ardrishaig? I thought there was. What happened to that?

I agree WT is in meltdown. I wrote a thread about it which Morph is still giving raving reviews.

Anniesland is still listed on JW website. Stevenston and Kilbirnie were apparently combined, but apart from that I don't know of any Scottish closures as a result of the new mergers policy.
so these countries roughly constitute europe.. here's how well they did in 2017 vs 2016:.
2017 peak pubs.
2016 peak pubs.
I think they announced the British memorial attendance at the meeting in a letter, but I was almost asleep with boredom and I've no idea what it is.
l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.
I guess he simply means they dismantled the technology infrastructure for moon landing because they stopped going and they would need to build it again if there was a new moon programme.

I’ve got a friend who doesn’t believe men went to the moon. He is quite sensible otherwise and I’m not sure how to deal with it other than make a joke about it. People saying conspiracy stuff online is one thing, but people in real life I find difficult to take seriously. He sent me this video the other day which I found amusing.
