I and a sister came to one house on a "vacant district" (I don't know the English term) one summer, and the owner threatened to sick his dog on us. We turned around of course, didn't run, but it was pretty close. And I think he let go of the dog (big and scary) just before we reached the gate.
That was pretty nerve-wracking, you might say.

Kifoy was a bit too fast moving when she wrote:
"And there actually are 52 people that openly says they are witnesses in their profiles.
And a lot of those stupid Norwegians even have an open profile... "
After some reconsideration, I think only a few of them really are JWs.
Why someone will say they are JWs when they're not, I really don't know...
Hm.

There are sevral events created as well with names like:
"Follow the Christ!" District Convention
Memorial of Christ Jesus' Death (The Last Supper)

There are not so many attending, though.

Why are congregations dissolved?
by mtsgrad inonly once in my life have i heard of a congregation being dissolved (closed down) for reasons of sin.. .
has anyone here heard of congs being closed down?
how often does it happen?
-

kifoy
Yes, I've heard of a cong. that was dissolved.
I think it was because too many of the BOE were DF'd at the same time during a CO's visit.
The members where divided between some of the other congs in the city.
I heard a rumour once. I don't know if these two incidents are connected, though.
Some MS/elders decided to have som fun with the CO who was coming to the cong.
So they arranged for a huge, full figure, natural sized, image of the CO to be printed, and put it on a wall inside the KH.
The CO apparently did not see the fun part of it at all...

In the old songbook there was a song with exactly the same melody as a christmas carol. Before the LP and cassettes with the KMs came, there cong. were accompanied by live music by some of the members that knew how to play an instrument. E.g. piano and violin. One old man, the violin player, totally refused to play this song, because _he_ would definitely not play any christmas carol :-)
In the newest songbook there is a song which beginning is exactly the same as that of a popular Norwegian childrens' song. At least the first ten (I think) notes of the first line, and the same on the second line are the same. Only the last four notes on each line are different.
I remember more than one time, almost the whole cong. singing the first line of this song, and continue in the melody of the childrens' song :-D
So funny, and almost the whole cong. laughed though the rest of the song, trying to concentrate on singing the right melody.
I don't have my songbook here at the moment, so I can't tell which Kingdom Melody it is. But the childrens' song, "I bakvendtland" by Alf Prøysen, you can listen to here: http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=875b75eae368a68f6db9b99fc0a07a59
In english the name of the song is "in the back-to-front country" or something. Katia Cardinal has done a spanish version: "En reverslandia"

On the other hand, we've had some pretty rude JW's on our door, too.

"2014 will, I think, have a pronounced psychological effect on whatever JWs remain then."
*sigh*
I almost feel sorry for them... (the seduced ones, not the GB and stuff)
