Looking for Carl and Julie Bruce
by John Redwood into everyone:i am trying to locate anyone who might know carl bruce or his wife julie.
carl was a bethelite as far back as the mid-1980s in brooklyn new york.
it appears that he was married to julie during that time period, and he may still be a bethelite serving in wallkill.

Their names appear in the 1999 to 2000 Watchtower Telephone Directory. See the bottom of page 4, right hand column.
I do not see them listed in more recent Watchtower Telephone Directories. Perhaps they were sent somewhere else or assigned to another job. Atlantis said he heard that they went into the circuit work.

A little more information from the member of the board.

I made a mistake in that one too with numbers, but it is easily noticeable and an astute reader will know what I mean. Sometimes people ask things that they could find on JW.borg... oh welll!!!

For smiddy3 and Spiral, from a member of the board that wanted to provide more info.
That person writes:
I goofed! Also, want to be clear about time frame. Could you post just one more time to the Dissolve Congregations Mpls postings? Many thanks. I hope this is the last and thank you very much.
11 (not 13) english dissolved in 2020 : 11/75 or 14.6% 17 (not 19) english dissolved from 2016-2020 :17/81 or 20.9%
More accurate metro area: 11/48 english dissolved in 2020 : 11/48 or 22.9% 11/54 english dissolved from 2016-2020 : 17/54 or 31.4%
For Smiddy: 11 English in 2020, 4 Spanish in 2020, 2019, 2018 or 2017. I assume 2020 because they re-orged them too.
Spiral: Most people do not know about how many are dissolved. It is a bit of a hush hush topic! They have been trained form the talks and videos to not mention it and only talk about the positives of having more elders and variety of talks (boring speakers).
They don't even send a list to people that need it to do the cult work, and they have to call around. Maybe they'll say "good thing we don't have to hear so and so as often". And I asked the person that told me about the superfund site "Why did we build there?" "Where was the Holy Spirit?". It's a crazy making Narcissistic Cult.
Also, there aren't any assembly halls in MN.

Slidin Fast:
Well you know grandpa, he gets this stuff in his email and I grab it and post it while he is sipping on cold ice-tea. Sometimes he doesn't even know I have posted it.
But when he finds out I have posted it, he just says....Good job baby girl! (He has been calling me that since I was 2 years old. )

Posting for a member of the board:----Petra!
I wanted to answer Spiral on the percentage loss. Thank you! Spaghetti with vodka sauce and a good Chianti to you! Here's a link to the post for easy clicking: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6245029520605184/dissolved-congregations-minneapolis-st-paul Here's my English percentage research: In the talks they gave in early November (uggh, doozy) they said 75 congregations were involved. However, I know they went very far out, like an hour to hour and a half drive.
The people in the farthest out congregation (Cong X) that I know, do not know of ANY changes (but they don't go much, good for them). WT elders might have just moved some people into or out of that congregation. If we take their word for it, that would be 13/75 or 17.3% reduction in 2020.
However, a couple years ago they dissolved six. 19/81 is 23.4% in just about 4 years. When I went back to my pdfs from JW.Borg find a meeting from 2017 and tried to figure out how many are actually in Mpls/St.Paul Metro I stop at 48. Cong #49 and 50 are Rockford, MN and one in Hudson Wisconsin.
They said they did not go into Wisconsin for this re-org. Then cong X is number 55. So, then it would be 13/48 or 27.0%. Adding the six they got rid of a couple years ago that is 19/54 or 35.1%.
NOTE: JW.Borg changed the find a meeting soon after I printed/saved those PDFs. The lists I have would start with the closest halls and progressively go farther out in a sort of ring. Anyone remember when they did that? There has been a lot of gerrymandering for lack of a better word, re-assigning people. Remember when they just gave a talk to say "Go to the hall in your territory"?
Not anymore, now it's more one on one. CONTROL, at least from WT. An elder might try to be more lenient, but they have little wiggle room. They seem to want people to be unfamiliar with each other. The four dissolved Spanish congregations is 4/15 or 26.6%. I don't know if they got rid of any Spanish before 2017, darn.
