Also for UK - did your congregation do anything with other congregations?

    In my area there is a lot of mixing, but only if your part of the clique.

    In the Liverpool/Manchester area there is always big parties. I've been in pubs with hundreds of people in them, and 75% of them have been witnesses. I keep on getting invites to go to them, because no-one down there knows I'm df'd. There's 2 coming up in the next month.

    Gadget - that all started in a pub called 'The Tavern' in Bolton about 10 years ago. Sunday night there would be about 400 people in there and 30% would be Witnesses. Because of trouble with the police the pub is now just an eating place. Great shame! Although I'd been DF'd most witnesses were friendly with me. Then again most of them were drunk! One night some Witnesses decided to dance on the DJ's platform. Very embarrasing. I just stood at the bar shaking my head in disbelief and lit a cigarette.

Do the elders know about them

    In my congregation it was hard enough to get to associate with other brothers and sisters.

    Never mind with other congregations.

    The only time we saw "other" congregation was at assemblies and conventions.
