I just found out from my Jehovah's Witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.
Here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members. It grew to 185 members in the 1990's. The congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.
With so many members passing away, some moving to Florida, a few divorces, teens leaving in droves and no new recruits, both congregations are being shut down. All remaining members are being told to attend their nearest congregation.
After giving their precious time, years of dedication, money donations and years of fellowship, the remaining members need to ask themselves, ''Where is this so-called ''Jehovah's Blessing?''
It saddens me that these remaining members refuse to admit that the Watchtower Society does not have their best interest in mind; only the survival of the Watchtower Society Corporation and its business interests!
