  i dropped my old computer 2 weeks ago and had to get a new one.

  i tried to log on under "new boy" for over a week and since there was no way to retrieve my old pass word i gave up and started a new profile as the bethelite.

  i just want to thank everyone for the help in getting my new book out, in fact i put this website in the dedication in the book.

  the wainui-o-mata hall is closing and from 01 february they will be relocated to the 200 seater hall in newlands.

  johnsonville is merging with the wellington west congregation and will be known at wellington central also to be located in the newlands hall.

  wellington east will remain in the hall in kilbirnie at this stage but rumour has it that this hall will also be sold and they will make up the third congregation sharing the newlands hall.

  Yes Steve2 They did talk about the cost of petrol back then. The rank and file will always pay the price. They worked hard to raise the money for their own hall. Got it payed off. They now had an identity in their little town. Now they are back to paying again with long distances to travel regardless of the petrol costs. I wonder where a new hall will spring up on the other side of the world that they can say "Well we helped with that"

  Yes the merging is correct as Wainui was always a smallish congo. For years they traveled over the hill to Lower Hutt. Great celebrations when they finally got their small hall on their side of the hill. But now the merge with a half of the Lower Hutt group they will totally lose their identity. They will no longer be the Wainui Congo. The CO would not even visit them as they are now part of the Lower Hutt group. There is nothing in Wainui for him to see. Sad days for them I think. And think of the distance they have to travel. I wonder what this says about smaller congos in say the Waikato region?

  The Wainui-O-Mata Hall is closing and from 01 February they will be relocated to the 200 seater hall in Newlands. Johnsonville is merging with the Wellington West Congregation and will be known at Wellington Central also to be located in the Newlands Hall. Wellington East will remain in the Hall in Kilbirnie at this stage but rumour has it that this hall will also be sold and they will make up the third congregation sharing the Newlands Hall. The Samoan Congregation is relocated from Newlands back to the Porirua Hall. Wainui-O-Mata are joining with the Waterloo Congregation at Newlands and will be known as Lower Hutt Central Congregation. They will have about 150 pub, 16 elders and 19 pioneers which will include the Hindi Group. The Avalon Congregation in Lower Hutt will also relocate but they are going to the Upper Hutt Hall, with no actual date set at this time, presumably they will want to sell the Lower Hutt Hall first. But it too is closing. Wainui-O-Mata Hall is obviously to be sold. It is a lovely Hall but it seats only about 120 with no room to expand. Travel time for Wainui-O-mata to Newlands will be about 20 - 25 minutes. Remember this is twice a week and for maintenance and cleaning will be extra. Have not heard what the reaction has been to these changes but I believe initially quite a shock. Photo of the Wainui-O-Mata Hall.

  Its the same as saying i wish you well. Its just one of those things people say....

  And the same as everyone says when they great you: "Hello..How are you"?

  Oh the Pharisees had nothing on JW's....and their heavy load of demands.

  i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.

  perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.

  watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .
