  Continuing congregation mergers

  by Are you serious in

  in the area i live in the pacific northwest, three spanish congregations we're merged into two a couple of years ago and in the next month or so four english congregations will be cut down to three.

  both situations happened because of lack of growth.

  a few years ago, i would never have imagined spanish congregations disappearing or merging but it's happening.

  Looks like the scythes on the hubs of Jehovah's chariot wheels are shredding these congregations...

  JW Persecution in Murmansk, Refugees hit Finland

  you know, disagreeing and with and hating all the cultish beliefs and practices that mark out jwdom doesn;t make it ok to treat them like russia is doing.

  this is one time i find myself defending these largely goodhearted but misled people.

  if only the gb members and their squad had stayed around to face what they are expecting their followers to face.. https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/life-and-public/2018/04/fsb-starts-detaining-jehovahs-whiteness-kola-dozens-flee-finland.

  Yeah, and besides the trauma of abandoning their homeland, these refugees are likely guilt-riddden for having deserted their "stronger" brethren who stayed behind to face the FSB's music.

  Flashback: Samuel Herd/Ashland Avenue Chicago

  by Phaedra in

  must have been mid to late 1970s.. it was when they still published the speakers' names on the light-blue circuit assembly programs.. i was a child sitting in the audience at ashland avenue's circuit assembly venue.

  i loved that place with it's own basement cafeteria and baptism pool with a big jesus getting baptized mural behind it.. samuel herd was giving the talk.

  my child self could only remember my father pointing him out on the program.

  it also looks like guests got to walk around the sets of what i'm guessing is what was used for the new jonah movie, coming soon to a convention near you, summer 2018.. .

  Hmm... looks capital-intensive; lavishing resources on a bid to impress and retain the loyalty of the PIMI crowd rather than evangelise the non-JW world.

  It’s Stupid That JWs Wont Recognize Birthdays Yet If A Baby Is Born They Will Give Gifts!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a witness can’t celebrate and give gifts on a birthday except on the day they are born.

  giving a baby shower is ok as well as gift giving—- but only once!

  soooo dumb!.

  What then of Romans 14:5? " One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind."

  New International Version (NIV)
