i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.
My old hall had 2 seperate halls inside it (Y shaped building).
With 5 congregations. With a further 4 congretgations within a 10 mile radius at seprate halls.
Ill drive past next tuesday to have a butchers at the car park. It used to be ramo. About 50 cars in the carpark.
I already know the answer as there is now only 2 congregations in there.

i can hear them chanting now.
Wow... thats quite some happening. I can actually imagine how it escelated in thier minds before it happened.
just called their media line:.

asked a young man named bryce where is the official press release on the cano pedophile situation.
I really appreciate these older bumps. Its a service to lurkers.
what started as news of a man and woman being found unconscious on a park bench 12 days ago is escalating into an international incident.. sergei skripal had worked as a double agent for british intelligence mi6 before he was discovered and imprisoned in russia in 2006. he was later flown to england as part of a spy-swap in 2010. on sunday 4th march he was discovered along with his 33 year old daughter yulia close to a shopping centre in salisbury.. since then the story has become increasingly bizarre.
a policeman who was first to attend the scene also became critically ill and remains in hospital.
government scientists at porton down have confirmed that the cause is a russian military-grade nerve agent novichok.
Guys guys they just wanted to see world famous cathedral with 123 meter spire. World recocnizable.

Leave the russian sp....orts salesmen alone.
good news or bad news first?
i'll do bad.. my grandmother is becoming more and more strict as i turn closer to 18, which is in 3 months.
i ask for the most simplest thing and it's like "let me think about it" i don't wanna seem as a complainer to you guys but i just want to be normal.
The post above is simply perfect.
I hope you read it and take it in. Enjoy your younger care free years. Dont waste them worrying.
so i roll up to the job site and looky there, two uber pioneer dubs dragging themselves down the sidewalk.
both ladies are in there early 60's and born in.. my heart started pumping, but i had to act.i was directly across the street from them.
i walked right to the sidewalk and said in a very loud, but not mean voice: "you can't teach overlapping generations from the bible!!
More power to ya.
ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.
honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.
to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.
They could sell all thier halls and still be around.
Online only, splinter groups meeting in Brother Paranoids basement. Sending the monthly donantions to jwbroadcasting on the caymen islands.
Brain washed is brainwashed they will do as told!
we all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.
at least that is their official stance.
it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.
My father is an educated professional and is used for his services, F.O.C of course. But when he had major surgery and was homebound. How many visits did he get?
Not a single one.
backstory:.
so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.
he asked me if i had any ideas for a photo that can used for the instagram page and this is what i made for him:.
This is my favourite thread on here! I wanna print em all off and post around the kingdom hall areas! But they would thrive off the "persecution".
what were some funny experiences you had of things that happened during talks at the meetings?.
a few of mine:.
- a brother had dyed his hair before his talk and it was raining heavily when he arrived at the hall and the dye was running down his face during his talk and his skin went more and more grey as the black dye ran down it.
- our hall got invaded by some lads throwing flower around the hall
-reference my thread on the swearing elder
-we had a cat fall through a suspended ceiling at our old hall
