Congregations Closing Down
by choosing life ini recently heard about a congregation that was "diabanded".
the publishers were reassigned to other congregations.
is this happening elsewhere or just a local thing?

The Middleton Mass congregation...formed in 1960 ...recently shut its doors and the remaining pubs were merged into the Peabody Mass hall (about 5 miles away). Long story...essentially the elders in Middleton destroyed the R&F and the Hall...wanted to build a nw KH, but bungled the deal...regional bldg committee was no help at all in resolving any matters...elder attitudes coause some to fall away...other rwhole families moved to other congs...a real mess...Jah's celestial chariot isn't running on all 8 cylinders here for sure...

New Tract Distribution Question
by startingover ini ran into a jw friend doing the tract work this weekend, and she was carrying the tracts in a folder.
both her and her partner looked like they were out doing a survey because of the way they were holding the folder with no bookbag present.
i just talked to an ex-jw friend in another state, and he said he saw someone in his neighborhood doing the same thing, and didn't think they were jw's because of it, but a tract ended up at their door.. just curious, for those of you in the know, was there some instruction to do this work in this way?

JW's in my area were told to just distribute the tract...Do not carry a bookbag and do not spend much time talking to any people...just get your alotment of tracts distributed...sounds like that is what is happenning in other areas also...

Te special ass't day in Natick was particularly boring...theme;..".Use the bible"...my wife a dyed in the wool JW noted that itwas so boring shed didn't get much from it...now that's progress...
only 9 baptized...I spent time in the back hallways during the talks...many just walking aroung , bsing or text messagiong on the phones...this religion is definitely showing signs of weakening as it is difficult to find anyone who is very zealous (not to mention loving or caring)...
glad to see all the NH, Me, MA people on the board...proandcon

did you have CO scandals or PO scandals in your cong
by nelly1 inwe did one year we heard that our co's wife was caught doing it with a special pioneer than was staying with them, co was taken off the circuit, and our po"s daughter was having a lesbian affair with her roomate, of course i knew before she dissasociated herself i told a sister i knew they were and she told me it was slanderous, then 2 weeks later it all came out, she then ran off with a dissfellowshipped lesbian over double her age, the other lesbian was publicly reproved but i have since heard shes been disfellowshipped for lesbianism, a question?
i thought if you were a po and one of your household was found to be doing something that bad then you had to stand down, is that right?

not CO or PO but service overseer...pompous ass...caught doing the nasty at a park in his car with a young new sister hottie...this was in NY...near WT Farm (bethel)...
he was caught by his own daughter and son in law as they went to the park for a picnic...saw his car their and walked over to see if he was there (he was suppossed to be leading the group in field service...guess he had a better idea)..surprise!!!...he was...with her...he gets dumped as an elder and df'd...divorced by his wife...she is only marked because she isn't baptized...she does get pregnant though...and has a child...quits trying to be a witness...too much stress ...doesn't like being a key player in a continuing soap opera...and major topic of gossip for years...
HUGE scandal...but kept very quiet given the area it happenned in....just one story among the hundreds or more that likely have played out all over the place...God's people...not likely...!!

Overheard: the Witnesses I know react to the Cano incident
by under_believer inpresented for your perusal, horror, and edification.
i take no responsibility for these statements--they are the verbatim comments of people that i know.
i find my wife's comment heartening, since it implies that she knows that elders are not necessarily spirit-directed.

I am doing what I can to spread the news about this perv bethelite here in Mass...trying quietly to get some comment from some heavies at the Farm in Wallkill to see what their take is...let you know when I do...hopefully soon...wonder if bethel bailed this jerk out of jail ($15K bail)...highly highly unlikely...they dropped him like a hot potato...love only goes do far !!!
