there is a thread that i'm really enjoying discussing the consolidation of congregations into existing kingdom halls.
i'm realizing that the only threads that have spoken of building were related to branch offices.
we know the wts's consolidations and reopening a are a shell game of sorts but i'm wondering... is anyone seeing an increase in kingdom halls in their part of the world?
50 % decrease here, and elders are just not giving a fuck. Eldurrs are just too old to go searching for stragglers that wont open their doors, or broke free and finally went after that job they wanted but couldnt get cuz it would interfere with meetings. Yeah use to be about 55 on sunday....last sunday was about 20.☺
Expand this !!!! Gb members!!!!!

All downhill, the only expansion they are getting , is expanding their country club, lakeside retirement homes.
Gb, punk ass bitches!! ☺
Yaaaaaaay for venting!!!!!!!!

warning of a long boring post ahead.
i feel like i need to vent my story out, as i feel quite helpless at the moment.. i'm 31 year old, married, father of toddler with another one on the way, due later this month.
i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.
something that gets little attention or not enough is the what kind of social behavioral people were the ones who started the watchtower corporation ?
c t russell was someone who got divorced from it would appear a lack of love and attention to his wife and the supposed attention he gave to a younger woman who had lived at his home together with his wife .. j rutherford built a lavish home in sunny and warm san diego and lived with his mistress and personal assistant, separated from his wife.
apparently hoarding and drinking alcohol as well when it was illegal by law to do so.. would either of these men qualify to be even elders in today's standards ?
DID SOMEBODY SAY ALCOHOL !!!!!😈😇😈😇😈😈😈

lve been researching the early days of the jw"s and found some very damning information which needs to be discussed at length.according to my research it is claimed that early founders used the pyramids to work out important biblical dates that are now dates set in stone according to the beliefs of the sect and can not be changed as it would rock the very foundation upon which their beliefs are built.l was hoping for somone with a precise understanding to please elaborate whether this is true or not.
I think it was russell.....i may be wrong.....but yeah....he's burried in a masonic cemetery next to a pyramid with the inscriptions.." Watchtower Bible and Tract Society".
So they cant deny that shit😂😂😂😂
on a previous post mamacita29 pointed up the low quality of new jw converts.. is the quality falling even more as the society use lower than low meeting, talks, broadcasts etc.. when i was active initially the organisation and standards seemed totally different today.
i have seen hard working intelligent elders fall by death or exhaustion.
the younger generation that came along never really grasped responsibility hence shortage of good elders, never mind the watered down to almost nothing quality of meetings.
Its not converts......or people wanting to be dubs.
Its born - ins being bullied, and coaxed into being baptized.
Like morris saying get baptized before getting a license!!!!
Lots of parents took that the wrong way, and well....kids are payin the price to be accepted by parents. Its nice when a parent says they are proud of their child, but only when its for the right reasons. Blackmail at its ugliest.

hi everyone, i have been lurking for some time now and decided to open the box (hence pandora).
about a year ago i became aware of child abuse within the org, out of curiosity (just like pandora) i opened the box and the evils have been pouring out ever since regarding the org.
anyway, this came to a head last summer with the arc.
HI ......n stuff.☺ welcome ....we like long posts. And newcomers are encouraged to tell it like it is.

i can't see another thread but maybe i missed it:.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jehovahs-witnesses-paedophile-sex-abuse-7278824#comments-section.
so it's official, i am happy to report that we merged with another congregation having the same problem.
why is it good news???
because people are either waking up, fading or just not buying into this organization any longer or walking away.... i think many young ones are just not buying into it as much, i see many in the congregation i go to very depressed and some i know personally going thru major depression especially the young "sisters" in their early 20s.... .
It has ALOT to do with splanes explanation of the overlapping generation bullshit, that has people heading for the doors. Common sense is overriding stupidity. Keep it up gb......your doing a wonderful job.
