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. May the decline keep gaining ground.

Mother is terrified over talks of peace.
by Searching injust spoke with my mother about the summit for north and south korea, her face turned a ghastly pale and she refused to talk to me about it afterwards.
i know exactly what is on her mind, and i'm not sure if i can say or do anything to assuage her fears about this being a fulfillment of prophecy.
any suggestions on what i could perhaps tell her to try and steer her from her line of thinking?

Poor people like your mom get screwed up in the head because of the idiotic prophets in NY. Funny but just a couple of months ago I'm sure there was talk of North Korea being the King of the North and now it's in their conversations of Peace and Security. They don't know whether they're coming or going.

Craziest Speculations You’ve heard about the end and paradise
by Addison0998 inwe’ve all heard them all our life.
my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.
oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.

That we can live forever on earth in perfection That elders will be princes on Earth. Old people will become young again. Dead people will be resurrected. There will be no more death, pain, suffering, etc. 144,000 wackos will rule over the paradise earth. We will have time to learn anything we want so we won't be bored. I will be able to have a lion or tiger as a pet. I guess we will only eat fruit, veggies and bread. Everyone will be smiling all of the time and dressed in their culture's clothing.
I know there's many more that I heard or read about from some old farts in NY but I can't think of them at the moment.

2018 Courage Convention video invitation
by Listener inthe video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.
i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.
next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

Haha so before the sister could at least give an awkward smile and respectfully decline if some guy flirted with her, but now it's the "dude what the hell you flirting with me for don't you know I'm a cult member!" face.

Cart witnessing at the Toyota Grand Prix
by Dagney inpicture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.
there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.
it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.

The pioneers in the congregation I was in love doing the carts because of the easy hours. What a ridiculous waste of time!

Proposed Georgia(USA) Assembly Hall Collected Funds, 3.5 Million Dollars, donated to the World Wide Work
by James Jack infrom 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.
to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.
the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.

We forget that some assembly halls have two or three residences for traveling overseers and other important folk. Maybe that's why this property has 75 acres which seems like alot even with parking. The Puyallup, WA assembly hall has a few residences on the property.
