Kingdom Hall in Barrington, Illinois

i often drive past a kingdom hall in barrington, illinois, where, when i was still a witness, i had visited a few times.

it wasn't too far from the hall i attended and we got to know people from this congregation.. i recently passed it by and it appeared there was a new sign in place.

yesterday i decided to pull into the parking lot on my way home, and it appears that the hall has been sold and is now occupied by seventh day adventists (i did a check online when i got home).

New site on reddit specifically for ---- GEN-X eXJW

by pistolpete in

yesterday or a few days ago a site started specifically for gen x -exjws.

it caters to those born in the 60s to around 70s and some 80s yesterday it had 2 members, today it has 102 members.

keep in mind that for most of these gen x, there was no internet, no mobile phone, heck, i don't think there was even cable tv.

i remember meeting one young lady at a circuit assembly--we went for a nice quiet walk well away from prying eyes--she grabbed me and ate my face. It was true love !

Next weekend it was the neighbouring circuits assembly--so several of us likely lads went to that one too. She was there as well!--But with another guy !

We often bumped into each other at the many jw teenagers parties that were all the thing in the UK in the late 60's..she was always good for a grope.

Recently appointed Elder and his Regular pioneer wife wake up in 10 minutes and walk away.

by pistolpete in

i been seeing several experiences by jws who are waking up very quickly.

not years, not months, not even days-----but minutes.

it seems that all the hypocrisy of the watchtower is becoming more obvious to the members.

What secret probation?

i think you need to see the film Animal House to get that.

For those who are banned from starting new topics--why dont you create a new a/c?

this just popped up this morning in my news briefs.. https://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2021/06/19/pennsyolvania-turnpike-mon-fayette-expressway-jehovah-s-witnesses-west-mifflin/stories/202106180126.

guess they'll start asking for money to build a new building now..

500,000 seems low to me too but it’s still a $500,000 profit

youre on to something there--the watchtower can have a fire sale of KH's and any money they get is a profit--dont forget the human congregation will still be ~~paying the mortgage~~ donating

each time a hall gets sold from under their bums--i hope it helps wake up some more dubs. Surely they dont a just swallow this "money for halls in africa " crap--do they?

in 1971 the elders "arrangement" was being rolled out in the UK. One sunday i was to do the public talk that afternoon--i had only glanced through the printed script and just couldnt be bothered with it all anymore. I phoned the congregation servant ( former branch servant somewhere ) and asked to see him there and then.

After a few mins into the meet up--i told him how i felt about it all--and he thanked me for telling him--as he was about to recommend me as an elder ! FFS--i was 23--and had absolutely no interest in the daft cult anymore ! So much for spirit directed .

Now i just had to explain it to the wife--a pregnant 3rd generation born in . That was the start of 10 years of marital misery.
