Consolidating of Circuits Coming?

by The Searcher in

i heard a local needs item last night which is not only adding different congregations to a different circuit, (to balance the numbers attending) but also moving all of the congs in that circuit from a relatively nearby rented venue to an assembly hall more than 4 times the distance away!

how loving of the glorious ones!

what a blessing they are giving to the flock!.

I dont know where you are located but in my area we already have a brand spanking new assembly hall, paid for in full by loving donations that costs us 10k per one day assembly. The scam is really taking off. Now with no more two day assemblys they shoe horn more programs per year into the same building and make more money. It dosent supprise me at all that they are doing everything they can to get congregations out of rented facitilies, even if that means a four hour drive twice a year. It shows the value is not and never has been whats best for the comgregations, only whats good for the bottom line of the branch.

Status of people shunned before rule change?

back in the early 1980s, some congregations were "disassociating" unbaptized people who committed alleged disfellowshipping offenses and weren't repentant.

it was announced from the platform in the same way, "so and so is disassociated," followed by 1 scripture about shunning and another about the specific sin that person had committed.

the ritual shunning was exactly the same as dfing.

Unfortunatly in dubbie land DA is the same net resilt as DF, in terms of how they are to be treated. In the minds of modern dubs, someone DA'd 30+ years ago is simply DF by default.
