Here in Quebec, people move alot. July 1st comes around, and every year about 10% of the population moves to a better apartment. I'm no exception, and during my dub years I moved about 5 times in 8 years, always trying to find a better or cheaper place. Often I had no choice to move, because the landlord was transforming the place into something else.
The city was divided in 3 congregations, and I was part of a congregation in a poor section of town with horrible apartments. I felt obliged, and was expected to stay in the same congregation and live in the limits of that congregation, although better apartments were available in other parts of the city. Being a devout dub in a strict congregation, we were expected to stay in the same congregation in order to keep our responsibilities and climb. I remember a couple of times when brothers and sisters moved out of the congregation, and went into a different one near by, it was as if these persons commited a sin. We were like a little family that had to stay together until the end... Finally I moved out of that congregation to a nicer part of the city with a nicer apartment, where I still live today.
I was just wondering if you also felt obliged to stay in your congregation when you moved? Or was the mentality different in your congregation?
