  The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

  I knew Amber and her husband (long since divorced) in the early 2000s they pioneered and sevred in a Mandarin speaking congregation in Vancouver. In those days the society was encouraged Mandarin speaking pioneers to go to China as need greaters. As the work was basically banned there they did not go with any sort of official missionary status. A lot of dubs from our area did this. Was all rather hush hush as often they were not even to tell family and freinds what city they where serving in. So yes she was not an official missionary, but must have used the term to help readers understand what she was doing. I ordered her book, looking forward to reading it, she writes very well.

  Kingdom Hall Closures In Canada.

  by Lost in the fog in

  one of our friends in canada posted the following message to their circle of friends.

  "in our meeting last night, the coordinator read a letter from the canadian branch about the reorganized territories.

  all the territories in the fraser valley from hope to vancouver, about a hundred miles in all, have been reorganized to create larger congregations and improve the use of kingdom halls.

  Heard from friends , three congregations deleted in Vancouver (Marine, English Bay and Joyce). Also more in the suburbs deleted, one in White Rock ,some in Surrey and Coquitlam. I can see Kingdom Halls being sold as a next step. The Jdub membership as been on the decline in western Canada, older ones passing not much in the way of replacements. It seems in places like England, Canada, parts of the States its a religion of old people. I really see a slow motion decline. This in the 50 some years I was an active jdub. I know this is just a limited personal observation, but go to any congregation in the western world and count the gray heads.
