chapter 15. inwood.

it turned out that in 1970 there was a lot of changes being made at bethel.

one of the major changes was that a bethelite didn’t have to go to kings county or the brooklyn heights congregations first before getting assigned out to a local kingdom hall in the new york city area.

Anyone in NYC available as a marriage witness?
by thebrokenkite in
1. jw
2. experiences
i've recently openly joined this community and already have a huge favor to ask: if you are in the nyc area, would you be willing to be my marriage witness this wednesday morning?

all of my family and friends are either active dubs or abroad, while my "worldly" fiancée is a fl transplant and still new to the city.

we're happy to provide modest compensation.

this month marks my 1-year disfellowshipping anniversary.

it's been a long, arduous journey, one that nearly took my life.

List of Branch Offices and Country Offices of Jehovah's Witnesses
by cedars in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i'm trying to put together a comprehensive master list of watch tower society branch offices that corresponds roughly with the figure published in the worldwide report.. i feel it would be useful to monitor the number and location of existing branch offices, because i believe the distribution of branch offices worldwide is a good indicator of the society's financial wellbeing.

we now seem to be entering a period of branch office closures, with last year seeing an unprecendented 16% reduction in branch office numbers over the year before.

it will be interesting to see how things develop moving forward, but i'm hoping that by keeping a list of the offices we will be better placed to keep track of the "retreat" if branch office numbers continue to dwindle.. here we go.... .
