  he said they read the letter to the congregation and were told the kh would be disbanded.

  2 other halls in the area were slated for closure.

  he said many people in the congregation began crying.

  I suspect it is hard to keep a positive attitude these days in JW world. The slow march to oblivion has to be painful.

  The best story of Cain and Abel comes from Steinbeck's novel East of Eden. Much better than the bible version.

  In the day (1960-70s) our family bought almost everything from Sears. Now, it has been years since I have gone into a Sears store. The last visit was only to find a restroom.

  The demise of a dynasty like Sears is an example to other organizations that there is no guarantee of future success.

  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.

  Yet more proof that the end is near. I suggest none of us buy any green bananas. No time to ripen.

  What I wish I had known at 18

  the financial times had an article with the above question.

  the author asked various people to answer the question.. https://www.ft.com/content/169705e4-b4dd-11e8-b3ef-799c8613f4a1.

  while i was not interviewed, if i was asked this question i would say that i wish i had known in 1975, when i was 18, that i was raised in a cult and that the continued focus on armageddon over my lifetime was a cruel joke.

  Stealing the lives of youths by the Watchtower is a despicable act. Children need to be provided the guideposts for life's journey. Everything from the Watchtower relates to stifling their journey for their own evil purposes. I was caught up in that cycle, and it took me half my life to realize the evilness of the Watchtower.
