  One other thing.

  Elders are making "Shepherding calls" during service of course since they can count the time. To encourage the "friends" to go where they are assigned.

  Well it took awhile to confirm some rumours, but I have now confirmed just about everything.

  19 congregations in Eastern Ontario and Gatineau area have been dissolved, moved, merged into other congregations.

  The Aylmer Assembly/Kingdom Hall Complex has only one remaining congregation. To be taken care of shortly. But probably not until the below, as someone has to take care of the building.

  The Aylmer Assembly/Kingdom Hall Complex will be put up for sale. Time frame unknown, but they probably have to do some renovations first. I wonder who will volunteer for that? Lol.

  It's definitely on a premium piece of property. Right on the Ottawa river.

  The Long Island Hall is also going to be put up for sale. Time frame unknown at the moment.

  My feeling is the demographics are changing. The baby boomers are dieing off, and the massive growth from the 1960/70/80's is done, with people leaving and no one getting baptized. Give it enough time and eventually it will be just the original congregation - Gladstone.

  I heard there were a couple of congregations that were closed in the Gatineau Assembly/Kingdom Hall.

  The rumor going around right now, is that it will be put up for sale and everyone will have to go to the Montreal Assembly Hall. If they do sell it, they will need to build a couple of KH's.

  They were going to sell it years ago, but they figured at the time the backlash would have been too great. As it was still mostly new and to many people gave of time and money to it. Seems everything has changed now. Go figure.

  Religious Cycles

  not my research but summarized to be very brief.. there appears to be a 309.6 religious cycle.

  while not exact it seems to conform to around these dates.

  in the cycles there are peaks and troughs - turning points to something new..

  I am surprised no one has mentioned what is going on in Canada.

  Maybe they have but I missed it. So here are some of the facts as I know them. Ontario Only.

  Sault St. Marie had their six congregations whittled down to two. All their Kingdom Halls were sold or is up for sell and a new bigger was built. From what I have heard it was more people moving away that caused this. Probably no work.

  Major re-org of all territories in Ontario.

  In Eastern Ontario the following congregations are gone. May be more, but this is what I know so far.

  Ingleside (Hall to be sold)

  Gananoque (Lansdowne)

  Cornwall (French) – to be sent to English congregation.

  Meadowlands (Ottawa) – Thorn in the side of the WT forever. It has now been taken care of. LOL.

  Blossom Park (Ottawa)

  Some publishers who used to drive 10 minutes to their Hall, now have to drive 30 – 45 minutes. Not sure how that will go over.

  Cedarhill (Ottawa) has now 187 publishers. Wow!!!

  Rideau (Ottawa) has 140 publishers.

  We used to split at about 120 publishers.

  There are really no Kingdom Halls to sell in Ottawa as they were sold years back to build the Assembly/Kingdom Hall building. They were offered 25 million for it years back. Not sure how much they can get for it now, as there is a lot of mold.

  They were going to renovate an old Post Office in Vanier (Ottawa) to make a very big Hall, but after taking all the donations and money, they shelved the project. Works every time.

  My feeling is that the demographics are changing and even though the rejigging has caused some congregations to be bursting at the seams, in time they will just get smaller. Of course all of these changes are moot if someone does not want to drive 30 minutes, and they go where they want.

  2034 - A Future History of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by slimboyfat in

  i don't know what i am talking about... read this post at your peril.

  back in the 1960s there was, seemingly, a brief period of relaxation in authoritarianism among jehovah's witnesses.

  those who have read raymond franz's 'crisis of conscience' will have heard the story about dan sydlik's remark about the need to 'open some windows to let some air in here'.

  The Oracle (SlimBoyFat) has spoken.

  Just as in the days of SlimBoyFat, so also will be the coming of the Anthony Morris III. Drinking good fine 2034 McAllister Reserve Scotch Whisky for all to bear witness to the Truth of the bottle - And then the End Will Come.

  The One Redress to Victims That Never Happens

  it seems no matter how much money or press the victims get, the rank and file jw's are either unaware or do not believe what had happened.

  the persecution complex takes over.

  stockholm syndrome???.

  It's like LaLa can't hear you....

  You would think Zalkin would have the court force the WT to publicize the case on their Web site. That way the average JW will know its true (maybe). Just a thought.

  Fossils fail to provide a connection

  page 24 of “the origin of life” cites henry gee:.

  a second, more serious challenge is the lack of proof that those creatures are somehow related.

  specimens placed in the series are often separated by what researchers estimate to be millions of years.

  This where I began a long time ago.

  https://www.amazon.ca/Forbidden-Archeology-Unabridged-Michael-Cremo/dp/0892132949

  https://www.amazon.ca/Cataclysm-Compelling-Evidence-Cosmic-Catastrophe/dp/1879181428/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=delair&qid=1566470749&s=books&sr=1-1

  All myths have truth in them. The question is what truth and what are they trying to convey. There is also only one time in history when the myths were created. Why was that? It must have taken something extraordinary to compel the human race to try and record what they saw. In very figurative language, since they could not understand what they witnessed.

  There really is no Palestine. It was all part of the Ottoman Empire. The Palestinians are really Egyptians that have been duped into thinking they are a different people.

  For people to say there was no flood, all you have to do is see the pyramids that are submerged off of Japan or the Temple complex off the coast of Cuba in around 2000 feet of water.

  The muck in the arctic is actually composed of billions of pieces of smashed up bones. Something bad happened 10000 years ago.

  There also will never be a fossil transition that will be recorded. That is not how it works. It takes intense magnetic fields to transition species. The change happens all at once. Not radiation or slow genetic changes.
