  i was just wondering if there is any official rules on dealing with this.

  a sister in the congregation is planning to divorce her husband who is also a witness so she can marry a different brother in the same hall!

  yes this is a huge scandal!

  Too much "accurate knowledge" on social media for jws, i have posted news articles re. child abuse, Australian Royal commission etc. on my social media only to be blocked off i think 7 "family" members so far! They can't handle the truth

  if the watchtower think that these are the end times why dont they employ all the people who used to work at bethel to go door to door or go on the cart full time.after all money is no good in paradise .

  As @just fine says, it's "just fun to get dressed up"

  I suppose they cannot wear them silly rags at the drama at the assemblies anymore so stepped it up with the tuxedo and evening gowns ?
  

  Life as a jw has certainly changed for back in the day !

  I am aware of witnesses holding these events in a few parts of the UK ....Just wondering if anyone else has heard of such events and what the purpose of them is ?

  Remember barn-dances/ country music events held in the 70,s have these events replaced them as a social gathering for witnesses ?
