  CAH closing down in upstate NY

  yet another circuit assembly hall is going to be sold off!.

  they've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs.

  elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like montreal.

  As a teenager in the early 90's even as I was getting ready to be baptized, I did not believe and I did not want to live in paradise forever... it is weird... I just wanted a good life in this world.... the perfect world did not appeal to me at all... yet I got baptized to make my family happy and find a girlfriend :)

  skin:

  I am not too worried.. but if I am found to be a JW with a double-life by my co-worker jw and he tells on me... then im gonna have to deal with my beliefs and tell the kingdom to f-off... which will upset my family... thats all.

  still in .. wishing for a ttatt brother in the hall

  by user100 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the entire hall was invited to a party at a brothers house after the memorial.. actually had conversations with a few people.. two guys that were recently disfellowshipped and since re-instated... would love to see what they really think about the religion.. but have no idea how to bring it up.. .

  my beliefs are quite in the open (i think), i am inactive and do not comment or give talks.. i dont sing, i dont close my eyes during prayers and i dont say amen... funny though.. we were having a conversation, one of the recently re-instated asked me which service group i belong to.. my reply after some thought was... "i have no idea" .. coz seriously.. i had no idea.

  wonder how that went... they all laughed it off including the pioneer drone standing next to me... i am tempted to ask them if they value freedom of speech and if so do they think we have freedom of speech in the jw religion.....
