  i have written some time ago, about how the religion i grew up in no longer exists.

  i was an 80’s jw kid who became a pioneer then a bethelite.

  they have new meetings, new elder roles, new acronyms, new core teachings, new songs and even a new bible.

  Another congregation bites the dust

  went to the meeting last night with my believing wife.

  the co was visiting and delivered a really cult-ish talk on loyalty but that's another story.. they made the announcement that starting january 1st they were going to have only 3 congregations in this town instead of 4.. they are dissolving one and growing the territories of the remaining 3. the reason given is that many of the elders are getting up there in age and can't do what they used to do.

  basically not enough elders and ministerial servants...or even men reaching out for that matter.

    so--really all thats happened is 3 sets of meetings each week instead of 4. same number of bums on seats each week.

    Okay if you want to be Debbie Downer about it I guess

    The way I look at it is that there was ONCE enough publishers to support 4 congregations. Now there is not.

    They are leaving and I down see it improving for WT anytime soon.

  The '' other and remaining '' Faithful and Discreet Slaves are '' useless ''

  faithful and discreet slave parable.

  matthew 24:45-47 "who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  Nope. 4 Congregations share one of those 2 KH complexes they were building all over the place 10-15 years ago.

  so--really all thats happened is 3 sets of meetings each week instead of 4. same number of bums on seats each week.

  maybe more men leave the cult when they lose interest in their cult crazy wives.
