  My Old Kingdom Hall being merged with TWO other congregations!

  this can only be a good sign.. my old congregation in liverpool has had a lot of money in it's bank account for years.

  for a long, long time (almost 8 years) they've been looking for land to build a new hall.

  the one they're in now is literally falling to bits.

  Three congregations dissolved and a kingdom hall sold within a 50 mile radius in my area...

  has anyone else heard of these situations with congregations and halls in your area?

  i thought the ground breaking mandatory pledge a little while ago was to keep up with "immense" growth?

  how soon they forget... looks really bleak for the future of the wbats, the jw gravy train seems to be coming to a slow and agonizing yet inevitable stop.

  Are the J.W's reaching a "Tipping point"?

  by karter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.

  the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.

  then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????

  A tipping point YES according to their own websites they have closed 20 branch offices around the world

  they are printing 40 million magazines a month less

  They have moved from new york to sell prime land off

  they are due to be selling the london headquaters off

  they have kicked out 1,000s of people from bethels around the world

  They have taken contral of all the KHs so that when the money from the bethels at new york and london run out

  they can start selling kingdom halls off

  on the front of the 2016 year book it says that the watchtower is spending $200 million us dollars a year on special pioners etc if they get $1 billion us dollars from selling all the buildings at bethel in new york by my mats that gives them another five years or so.what might happen after that ????

  I think it did occur to the watchtower and they might have planed it like that ???.People on the carts are not allowed to make the first move they can only stand there and hope that somebody makes the first move.But its good for them sa they can get their hours in and if the weather is nice then its doubly good.And its good for the watchtower because the rank and file are not espically bothered about giving out mags and books so they keep on the trolley and have a very long shelf life.I have taken books that were printed in 2012 2010 2006 and even 2004.(and trashed them of course )On some carts they even put the mags and books in little plastic bags to keep them longer
