Somehow I think nobody read the memo!
by LostintheFog1999 ini came across an old notebook of mine when we were spring cleaning our attic space.. for some reason i had written down these two references from older wt magazines.. reading over the two of them now i can only think that elders didn't pay any attention to the message either at the time or since.
*** w75 8/1 p. 474 par.
14 elders presiding in a fine way ***.

No, that’s a good letter, but not the one I was looking for.

Thank you, Atlantis! You are so great! 🍹
And, hey, can you help me out with that letter that Roger Kirkpatrick wrote, mimicking the letters that the witnesses send out in the mail? You know, the one that tells the householder that they need to become Jehovah’s witnesses right away, so they don’t die at Armageddon? I’d really appreciate it. ❤️

Have you ever been on a congregation picnic?
by LostintheFog1999 inwere you ever on a congregation picnic?
i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".
well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.

Yes, mum, there’s always those cheapskates around. I got married (first time), my reception was pretty swanky, quite expensive. One sister got invited, with her unbelieving husband. She called my mom to inform her that she was bringing her 10 year old son. A terror who was not invited (no kids). So, three came at $50.00 per person, and they gave me a $15.00 bowl. Lol. I just read on Reddit about a gathering of witnesses where one sister, a good cook, was asked to bring 2 large pans of food for a get together. She did, and the sister who asked her to bring those 2 pans, promptly took one and put it in her car. She wanted to take it somewhere else she was going and didn’t want to cook. 🙄 I’d say that makes her a thief.

Yes, thank you all for the responses. I was just thinking if I could email her just one zinger, it might make her think.

I’d actually like to send her info like JWfacts.com, etc. I also thought of emailing her a copy of Roger Kirkpatrick’s letter, outlying the bat shit crazy, but true beliefs. And, thank you for the responses. And, Punky, it said “or current resident.”

So, my daughter got a letter from a female JW, containing a tract. I want to respond to this woman, in a kind way. She included a phone number, and email, return address is the KH. Any suggestions? It came to my daughter’s maiden name, she is married for almost 9 years.

getting round the territory slowly compared to before?
by Indoubtbigtime infrom what i know most territory maps in most congregations are being done much much slower than before.
my congregation is very very slow getting round the territory compared to before.
then pioneers will have hour requirement coming back in march but they are just not used to getting 3hrs a day 7 days a week.. many congregations used to get round all their territory every so often, now all congregations around north london where i am (yes i’m an ms involved with territory servants) are hardly getting around their territory at all.. of course letter writing was slow going but now back to first call hardly anyone is going out in person and those few that do don’t do that much.. even the elders who are supposed to take the lead don’t seem to come out much at all and when they do i know of more than one example of them only doing ten mins maybe a few houses then going for the obligatory coffee break.
