    Is there anyway of taking your 'cards' and 'letter of introduction' with you when you change congregation?

    No they have to be sent to your new congo by your old congo...

    You still have to have the new congo contact your old congo they will not let you have your card or intro...now it's been a while since I've been out so if I'm mistaken I'm sure someone will correct me...

    Vilot you have it right. The new congo will contact the old congo for the info. The old congo will send the publisher cards and a letter of introduction to the new congo.

    To make sure that the letter of introduction is not negative, I known of one brother who told the old congo that if anything negative was in the letter then he would claim that they committed libel. The letter was good, but the old congo phoned the new congo explaining that the brother had major faults that were not mentioned in the letter.

    Couldn't he claim slander instead. Although proving it could prove difficult.
