Vote:DO you think the WTBTS will end with a BANG or a WHIMPER
by superman inpersonally i think it will end with a whimper.
i think that they will always have members, but after the "system" continues and more and more people get discouraged, df'd, da'd, or fade after a long enough time they will slowly continue to consilidate halls (lose members) until it finally get so small they eventually go by the wayside or switch to something like e-meetings or web-meetings or once yearly conventions.
any takers??

7 Congregations in My Area, VT, MA, NH, Have Been Cut to 3!!!
by Seeker4 ini got this verified today.
seven congregations that were in my old circuits now are only three.. north and south gardner, ma were merged.. north and south claremont, nh were merged.. north adams, ma and bennington, vt were merged.. the wilmington, vt congregation was dissolved.. there has been discussion to merge the keene and swanzey, nh congregations, but there are some strong personalities among the two bodies of elders opposing that, so it is not likely to happen, though i hear that keene has got some big problems in its boe and very poor service, etc.. that's 9 congregations within about a 70 mile radius that are all seeing some serious trouble.. anyone hearing anything similar happening where they are?.

Vote:Which are worst small town or big city JW's
by superman ini've lived in both small towns and big cities.
i would have to say that small jw's are by far the worst.
they tend to be much fanatical, close minded, creepy, and wierd.

Some JW's just stopped by
by superman ini am at my girlfriends place (she lives in a completely different territory from me and i don't know any of the jw's around here), right now she's at work so i was just listening to music and reading this site and all of the sudden the door-bell rings (must have been jehoova's direction).
i look out her window, and i see brother "old as dirt" with a tacky, out of style leisure suit, and one those stupid looking magazine purses (you know the one that they hold under their arms) and the bible in his hand, and with him is sister "desperate looking, 40 year old virgin" probably a pioneer (you know the type, the semi-homely, probably single pioneer that just spews desperation out of their pores).
well i was going to go down, answer the door, and mess with them (this area is a few hours from where i'm from so nobody knows me here), and do some undercover apostatizing.

Whats the Craziest thing you've heard a JW blame Satan for????
by superman inas most of you know, that evil spirit creature known as satan the devil is of course after jw's and only jw's.
i can remember this middle aged lady at my old hall give a comment on how "satan works in the most mysterious ways against jehovah's people, he even has the teachers give out more homework on meetings nights so that he can make it more difficult for the young ones to attend the meetings".
at that time i was hardcore in it, and even thought this lady is a "looney-tune".
