Congregation rebels!

by A.proclaimer in

my congregation got a reminder today to start donating money.

elder said that after the letter on the new donation arrangement was read, the contributions for that fund went from the average (i believe it was $500 or so) to $0.

after that reminder, cash was put into those boxes.

I am reminded of George Carlin's funny quote:

Looking for info regarding internet

by wandasoo in

could someone help me find info that shows jw's are not to be on the internet or facebook.

hubby says they have never been told not to use the internet by org.. thanks, wandasoo.

Im not sure it’s in writing but what problemaddict wrote is true. Years ago, maybe a year or so after facebook came out, my wife and I had a “shepherding” call and were strongly counseled about being on facebook. My MIL lost her pioneering status because she refused to delete her account. I lost my “privileges” until I deleted my account.

In the years that followed, they loosened up a little. Each congregation has their own stupid little things to pick on.

so, i'm quite excited but also slightly freaked out as i'm able to go this summer instead of next like i had counted on (my daughter graduates next year and i was planning to go then).

this means i'm doing this last minute and i wanted to see if any of you have used https://www.go-today.com or gateone travel or go ahead travel?.

i'm planning on london, paris and rome for two weeks, likely july at this point.

Awesome! Hope you have a great time. Wife and I hope to make it there one day.

was there a decline in the number of jws in your congregation?

if so, by how many has it gone down and what is the time frame?

I left a cong that was lucky on a Sunday to have 50-60 people show up. It used to be closer to 80-90 a few years before. Our shit bag elders pushed many to a neighboring cong that would regularly have 110-120 for Sunday meeting – a lot from my hall. This was almost 3 years ago since I left.

Marking bec I too am curious if the changes over the last year are drastically affecting things.
