It's interesting, and a bit sad. They didn't care that the conventions were a financial hardship for many JWs, that they went to conventions instead of actual vacations, that they were difficult for those with children, that they were hard for the little ones to sit through, all those things didn't matter to them, no sir, this is life saving information. But if it saves them more money, all of a sudden those days are not that necessary.

but the "in" way to meet potential mates is now thru RBC work.
Ugh...RBC...what a stupid way to meet people. The last thing you need at a construction site is a bunch of horny, distracted teenagers.

We've been expecting further downsizing of assemblies and conventions for a while now, based on recent trends.
I've met regular rank-and-filers who can totally see it coming, frankly.
Interestingly, none of them seem too disappointed.

Now the younger single crowd has less time to meet others. Social media is discouraged.
Just be cautios at these one day CA, to stay out of the path of those desparate teenagers.

Quarterback - "Just be cautios at these one day CA, to stay out of the path of those desparate teenagers."
No kidding; particularly the young brothers.
Poor bastards are so sexually repressed and frustrated, every time one of 'em gets horny, he runs the risk of putting someone's eye out!

neverending, I remember circuit hopping, young jws looking for mates....or best yet having older friends and relatives in other congregations and circuits hunting for you....moving whole family near Bethel and visiting often to be seen. Daughters find husbands, dad sells house and they move back to home.

I guess when you keep saying 'the sky is falling' eventually you lose listening ears. The Watchtower Corporation/God's Earthly Organization is down sizing, refusing to let it members to get a higher education, causing tremendous riffs in families, letting pedofiles have a feast of children in the local congregation, loosing million of $$$ to childmolestation lawsuits, and loosing the Internet information battle.
I guess with all these irons in the fire God's Organization is on the retreat and cannibalizing it member on the alter of Congregation Discipline, lowering field service hours, cheaper printed material, more pitches for money and making the WT corporation benificiary of wills and property.
Looks like everything is going to pieces there at spiritual paradise headquarter. What a mess they are in after all these years of lies and postphoned exspectations.

I heard this a year or so ago too. Though the person who told me said they will still have a few large assemblies world wide every few years. The international ones.

Joel Osteen reveals he had $600,000.00 cash stolen from his megachurch, a Priest in Georgia spent charitable money for his 2.2 million dollar mansion. the Wt. , like all religions, is pushing towards the day when these tax shelter scams will be repealed.

I knew a couple horny sisters who put their phone numbers on their hard hats for doing RBC work.
In the business world, we had a vulgar name for what the Society is doing: mental masturbation.
They fantasize about this and that - and little or none of it really happens. I haven't seen anyone here comment on the futility/idiocy of trying to force more donations out of congregations to build more Kingdom Halls.
What's their plan? To beat the friends into contributing so that they can build more Kingdom Halls for congregations that won't open their wallets? This is stupid. The friends aren't depressed because they don't have nice new Kingdom Halls- they're depressed because of boring, pointless meetings, lack of group social activity, loss of young people, a dead, sterile "ministry"......... need I go on?
