congregations that are disbanded? how many times it has happened? not counting the congregations that are disbanded due to low activity, but the ones that are disbanded because they are out of control?
i love watching the pious faces when they find out that the borg does have to disband congregations..."but this is the truth"..."the congregation is the source of blah blah blah"...well heh sorry no.
btw i wonder if any of the major religions churches have ever been disbanded in the states, for bad behavior? that would be kind of funny if it was exclusive to the jws. there's your truth!
i have honest to god had conversations with elders who are actually pretty good/smart people, who are in such deep cognitive dissonance that the conversation goes like this:
"hey so yea maybe they will disband this congregation because of how insane it is"...elder: "well i know they do disband sometimes for the sake of efficiency"...."well actually they do disband mr. elder sometimes for the sake that they are out of control, case in point....blah blah"...elder: "oh yes i did hear about that one"...so i repeat question: "so maybe they will disband this lunatic asylum then?"...he goes back to the original answer, elder: "well i do know that sometimes they dissolve the congregation due to efficiency to merge with other blah blah"...so i repeat again, "you did hear about this cong that got disban...blah blah"...literally like whos on first, whats on second. talk about deep cognitive dissonance.
