  I'll try ...

  Up until 1995 and especially after the 1975 debacle "The Generation" was understood as those aged between about 70 and 80 - that saw 1914 (with understanding) and would not pass away before Armaggeddy.

  When it was becoming obvious that the generation WAS passing away the age of understanding not-so-subtly dropped from 15 to 10 to babies.

  By 1995 the gig was up as we were now 81 years from 1914.

  So the definition of "The Generation" was changed a few times between then and 2010 - see jw.facts for details - when the infamous overlapping generations arrived and more recently the "Ex-Splaned" chart shows how it works. (Using F.W.F. and causing WTF? from many on this and other forums.)

  The above post shows the Kingdom hall in Raglan (South East Wales) and associated buildings up for sale. (The congregation(s)) meeting there were not named Raglan)

  Property description

  Contact Newland Rennie - Monmouth about Residential development £425,000

  A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a site with tremendous planning potential within the town of Raglan.
  
  The site comprises the Meeting Hall, semi detached cottage and a large level area at the rear with a separate access. There is ample space and hard standing areas for parking and turning. Water, electricity and drainage all connected to the Meeting Hall. Kingdom Hall site has the potential of becoming a highly regarded town development.Plans have been drawn providing two semi detached properties, a further semi detached property and a detached 4 bedroom executive home.

  ......

  
  

  Freddo's comment - I believe this has been sold for property development - it is still there (week before Xmas 2017) and is a bit of a dump which would be ideal for pulling down and building houses.

  Frome (pronounced Froom) in Somerset have moved as a complete congregation from Welshmill Lane in Frome (Charity commission shows this as being their address in 2016) to share Midsomer Norton's Kingdom hall in Waterloo Rd, Midsomer Norton. This is 8 miles away.

  The Midsomer Norton address is shown for both congregations on Jborg.

  These congregations are both presently in different circuits and under new arrangements I believe Midsomer Norton is being moved out of its old Avon Circuit.

  Well...It's 2018 and still no ''Armageddon''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  1972 : we started studying with the jehovah's witnesses when my uncle became an elder and put fear into our family that armageddon was close.

  1974 : my mom, my brother and i were all baptized after all the convention talks and watchtower magazine articles that 1975 would likely end this system of things.

  1999 : being told that the year 2000 was going to mark the 6 thousand years of mans existence and that the 1000 year kingdom in the new paradisewould come in the year 2000.

  The end is imminent, eh Tony - now what does your very own RNWT say?

  (Luke 21:7, 8) . . .Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?” 8 He said: “Look out that you are not misled, for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.

  Conspiracy Theorists never seem to believe that cannabis is harmful. I think that they are being lied to by THEM.

  Did You Go To Meetings in Very Inclement Weather?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  living in new england means having lots of snow and cold.

  elders were very reluctant to cancel or reschedule a meeting due to the weather.

  i lived 3 towns away from the kingdom hall and if it was icy and treacherous my vote would always be to cancel the meeting....and forget about rescheduling!.
