Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?

from what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.

obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.

can anyone confirm this?.

Hopefully the 3000 propertys that they are selling off will just be the start as they will need money to keep all the headquaters around the world going and they still need money to keep produceing the bimonthly magazines and single page tracts

there are many here who think they can infiltrate my web-site.

be warned that we administrators of jwtalk call the listed congregation on your application for membership in our site to verify if they know you!.

some of you have slipped through the cracks and got into our site, but rest assured, we will find you out and ban you!.

Its a shame the watchtower is not more bothered about the fact that they are selling 3,000 propertys off these next few months

Evolution of a congregation 1978- 2018

by joey jojo in

our whole congregation was excited as we stood in front of our brand new kh and smiled for the photographer from the local newspaper.. for years we had been travelling 30 mins each way to attend the meetings and now, after a big effort of donations and hard work we finally had our own kh in our own town.

in the picture, there were 45 smiling faces of all ages, from the newborn to the old brother that had turned 100 and everyone in between.

the year was 1978.. the congregation grew and shrank over the years, probably hitting its peak during the 80's and 90's, there was even a renovation in the early 90's that the local brothers donated towards, for the benefit of the local town to hear the good news about the imminent arrival of the end.

might this be one of the 3,000 propertys that the watchtower is selling off.

3000 propertys thats like one a day for the next 8 years

is it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?

if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?

surely they must have noticed the absence?

I think that the writing committee will be the next group of people to be kicked out.The watchtower will be printing the new format of the watchtowers and awakes for the next two years then i think they will just keep on reprinting the same stuff and just changing the dates eg issue 1 2018 will become issue 1 2020 and so on

over 700 baptized yesterday at one convention in Africa

by dropoffyourkeylee in

there was a french language congregation this weekend in congo dr which had 44,000 in attendance and something like 730 baptized.

i'm not saying that is good or bad, just reporting the news..

In 2012 the watchtower did close 20 branch offices around the world and sam hurd did say in 2015 that ALL bethels have reduced the number of people who used to work there

Why are JDubs scared to death of apostate websites?

by Sour Grapes in

when i was an elder back in the 1970's i loved to debate and challenge ministers, preachers, and holy rollers.

now you can be a loyal jdub fully indoctrinated for 30 years but just take a peek at an apostate website and you are doomed.

yes, satan now has you by the gonads and all of the years of being at the meetings, all of the family worship nights, all of the conventions, and all of the personal study just go up in a cloud of smoke.

pepperheart

The watchtower is scared because they are a weak cult,who have to blackmail people so they wont leave the watchtower

Org's "rearranginging deck chairs on the titanic" serving 2 purposes

by nowwhat? in

in 2 weeks we will be announcing major changes in northern ohio congregations and there is quite the buzz in the area about it.

just talked to a jdub from the detroit area that just underwent similar changes, and they mentioned it has been "quite exciting" to get to meet new brothers and sisters.

so besides the cash benefit of selling a couple kingdom halls in the process.

pepperheart

I think its good that in selling off 3000 propertys they are making it even harder for new people to get to a kingdom hall

Sells out of KHs

by asp59 in

i just wonder about the 3000 buildings that are gonna be sold out.

seems like a lot.

but how much is it in percentage of the buildings they own that are gonna be sold?.

pepperheart

i think its great that the watchtower is making it even harder for new people to start going to kingdom halls but they cant have that much more now to cmake savings apart to sell kingdom halls off

Out of town wharehouses are doing so much damage because

they like to have robots rather than people if they do have people they treat them like crap

and because they are out of town they dont pay the local councils as much money for rates

and if everybody did that the local councils would not have as much money to pay for the local police ambulance and fire brigade

Drop Off in Mentioning 1914

by steve2 in

videos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.

paranoia rules supreme!.

curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.
