And don't forget the TWO Welsh Groups who meet with the congregations in Trevelin and Gaiman in Argentina
Below is the Google StreetView of the Kingdom Hall in Trevelin - note the KH sign in front is in both Spanish AND Welsh

TV commercial seen in the United States, from a Law firm "Asking if you were ever sexually abused by JEHOVAHS WITNESSES, please call".
by Dunedain inok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.
if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.
however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.

Watchtower and Emoji's - your thoughts
by Tallon inon the jw.org website, the watchtower is sending out a strong warning with regard to emoji's & flirting.. my personal view is that the org is now trying to micro-manage just about every aspect of people's lives!.

That's cool, I just didn't want to copy and paste my comment
In the end I think anything that can help parent's open/start the convo on this sort of thing with their kids is good - a lot of emoji's have 'other' meanings, and I wouldn't want MY kids using them, even as 'fun', but that's just my take on it.

An identical "American Sovereignty Restoration Act," intended to "terminate U.S. participation in the United Nations," has been introduced to the House of Representatives at the beginning of each Congress for the last twenty years since 1997. The 2017 and 2015 versions were sponsored by Rep. Rogers, the 2013 version by Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia, and the 1997 through 2011 versions were sponsored by Rep. Ron Paul of Texas (all Republicans).
In each case, the most recently submitted "American Sovereignty Restoration Act" bill has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs (also known as the House Committee on International Relations) and languished there without ever being passed or brought to a vote.

mea culpa!
sorry Lostandfound - you actually asked for "a recent letter read to congregations about this" - please note that the above letter was addressed to the elders ONLY and was therefore NOT read out in congregations.
Instead of a letter, I believe you are actually referencing a VIDEO that WAS played to all congregations in the US during their midweek meeting week starting 7 November 2016 which explains briefly about both relocating and merging congregations.
If you want you can 'fast-forward' to 2:30, but you'll miss some of the facts and figures....

BoE Letter July 8, 2015 - Re: Fully Utilizing Kingdom Hall Auditoriums
The master plan may identify auditoriums that could be better utilized. In such cases, the branch office, with the assistance of the circuit overseer(s) and the bodies of elders, will consider the following questions: Could congregations merge in order to make better use of the auditorium capacity? Could a congregation relocate to an auditorium with sufficient parking and seating? If so, the branch office may decide that a new Kingdom Hall is not needed and direct that a merger take place. Such adjustments will result in conserving donated funds.
