I think quite a few people imagine the JWs as being wealthy. I had more than a couple of people ask this years ago -- people in the service industry - manicurists, etc. I couldn't believe people actually thought this -- what a dichotomy -- others noticed how unkempt/neglected their yards were and how old, dilapidated their cars, etc., were. I'm sure this is not the case for many JWs and some really know how to bargain shop. With all the membership requirements re/JWs time, money, auto expense, etc., and other contributions, it's amazing they can afford much for themselves. They save money on holidays, college and that's huge! The governing goon squad wants all that extra cash.

Why are the JWs and SDAs increasing in Scotland? Hope JWs aren't increasing in other areas of western Europe but may have read they're doing good in France - really!!

Big elders meetings?
by road to nowhere ini hear of whole circuit meetings being held, taking all day.
maybe just usual yearly stuff, but it seems the local elders immediately held a followup.
i am sure it will be about better local control, more charity, kindness, that sort of thing.

Major congregational quake in Southern California
by Hecce inthis notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.
a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.
the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

Thanks for the good news, Hecce. 17 congregations -- don't know how many halls that is but sounds like some good money to be pocketed by the cult. Expensive real estate in San Jose. -

StillTotally - I'm not in construction but cost made sense to me just from experience doing remodels/re-construction at couple locations. Construction is very expensive -- still would never trust WT and their begging pyramid scheme.
