Funky...my father kept a large box full of cong records when the hall got sold and the cong merged with another. I found the box when i cleared his house out.

Predictions of The Org in one year.

by Overrated in

i predict that in a year kingdumb halls will be replaced by zoom.

they will still have assembly halls but will charge a heavy entry fee.

baptisms will continue to be so low that would not be worth counting.

stan livedeath

door knocking-?

meetings- ?

to go off topic for a minute..

what if a congregation owned its hall outright--never had a mortgage or loan from the watchtower---and the body of elders decided to sell up. are they legally required to hand over the dosh to the watchtower ?

Shepherding visit

by donnye in

i cannot seem to find any information on which elder/s are assigned to do a shepherding visit on a congregation member.

does one of them have to be the member's field group leader?

can any elders do a shepherding visit at a member's request?

stan livedeath

reading back over Donnys posts ten years back--it strikes me he is simply not one of the congregation "in " crowd--probably has no real friends either in the congregation--nor in the real world. it will be a sad day for him when he finally gets shoved out the door.

@Donnye....have you considered mentioning to your elders that you are a member of this site ?

Publisher's Record Cards

okay, i haven't been to a meeting in over 17 years and i don't live anywhere near the place i grew up.

i have had minimal contact with my jw family, essentially just occasional phone conversations.

i think they could easily guess that i'm inactive but they pretend not to know and they've never shunned me.

stan livedeath

i had to clear my old jw dad's house out when he went into a care home--2013. along with car loads of watchtowers going back 50 years and books--there was a large cardboard box of congregation records--all went to the tip.
