  i live in a very rural part of the northeastern united states.

  after 9 years of waiting, the local witnesses are getting their new kingdom hall.

  it is being built on a back road next to a sandpit.

  MS meeting highlights

  by lastmanstanding in

  2. beliefs

  there are a few things of interest, but the biggest thing to tell is with regard to the amount of times that pornography was discussed.

  not just one talk... several.

  the last brother had a computer on the table with him as he talked about porn.

  Whole families leaving the Org has increased

  2. experiences

  i have noticed in the uk a few families i used to know while in the borg have exited together.

  some include former elders and ministerial servants.

  i observed on social media pages that the kids have 'worldly' boyfriends and girlfriends and they look so much happier than they did in the org.

  Do JW's Still Shout "Aye!" at Assemblies?

  by snugglebunny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  got my curious head on again.... i recall shouting "aye!

  " in 1958 and again in 1963 and 1969. in the '63 resolution the wt put the un on notice in an assembly resolution worded something like "the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to god's messianic kingdom by setting up ... the united nations, ... this international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men.

  for years men without faith in god's kingdom have endeavored to get all people to worship this international image of human political sovereignty as the best hope for earthly peace and security, in fact, the last hope for humanity.

  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

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.
