I think it's pretty awesome that court documents like what the elders and WT were sending back and forth are now up on display for the world to see. It just shows how cruel they really are.

Is attendance down in your location too?
by StarryNight9 ini was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.

In Ohio some congregations merged and some got dissolved recently. I was at a hall for years and saw the meeting attendance go from around 95 to 45 in the last 10 years. Now I'm at another hall and I heard an elder say, "we just had another congregation join with ours. We were busting at the seams for 3 weeks right after the merge. And now (a month after that) we are barley over what we used to have before the merge!" Seems the merging JW's came to get a quick look-see and went back to their fishing business.
If you've read this thread through to this point, then you know it's painting a picture of reduced meeting attendance across the board.

This website lists 12 signs that you're in an abusive relationship. I noticed that the way the leadership treats the JW's
is about the same way.
1. Charming - love bombing
2. Jealous - borg wants you only to do theocratic things
3. Manipulative - self explanitory
4. Controlling - dito
5. A victim - "An abuser doesn't take any responsibility for his poor choices. He is NEVER at fault." - sound familiar?
6. Narcissistic - "The whole world must revolve around this [religion]"
7. Inconsistent - doctrinal flip flops
8. Critical - just like most elders
9. Disconnected - "Isolation from family and friends is a key goal for the abuser because it forces the victim into total submission." Ever been shunned by your own blood (kin)?
10. Hypersensitive ..."What sets the abuser apart is that he is intentionally manipulating a situation so that his actions don't
have consequences." Exactly like the governing body.
11. Vicious and Cruel - See the December 2018 study edition WT p 14,par 17, 18 where it says that the husband "might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger"... "other Christians have not; [separated] they have endured and tried to work at improving matters."
...
"Many loyal Christians have remained with an unbelieving mate under very trying circumstances. They can testify that doing so was worthwhile..." - In other words, stay, even if your life is in danger, that's vicious and cruel.
12. Insincerely repentant - this one actually doesn't apply to JW leadership because they have NEVER repented about anything!! At least an abuser will say they're sorry once in a while.

It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?
by Nosferatu ini find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

Or actually we might as well just go the distance and say, "It's now 2040, Where is Armageddon?"

Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?
by My Name is of No Consequence infrom what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.
obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.
can anyone confirm this?.

I just got a call from the CO. He said that they are selling all the Kingdom Halls in the greater Cincinnati area.
Then my alarm clock went off, and I realized it was all just a dream.
Damn!
