what is this one congregation that nearly all of you are in?
hm, probably mainly Stanhope, NJ cong. Also Hackettstown cong. Both meet at the same kingdom hall.
now i know what congs to visit upon my arrival in NJ, so that i can bless everyone with my presence and my atounding comments
What is it, Stanhope was an off shoot of Hackettstown in the '70's? The really great thisn is that even though it's two congregations, it's like one BIG one. I never saw 2 congregations share a Hall and they were so harmonious with each other. It's a beautiful thing...
really? odd that you would say that, because i never got the whole harmonious impression. in what way do you mean? (for example: i didn't even know 2/3 of the people in the cong before i moved there. wouldn't even have recognized them on the street)
yea thats true.. everyone likes to fight.. i think we should have a big water balloon fight to sort it all out..
i think there are people in every congregation that you never know until you actually go there and have to go out in service with them.
'until u have to go out and service'??? is someone twisting ur arm?
no not like you have to go out in service but like sometimes you go out with people in service that normally you never get to talk to after the meeting. and you usually don't go out in service with other halls and randomly get put in a group so you might not know these other peoples.
I have been in other congregations that have shared Halls and there always seems to be problems between them... I'm not naming names, but trust me, it's like a paradise between Hackettstown and Stanhope....
I think there's a little bit of a competition between Hackettstown & Stanhope. Anyone agree?
yeah, i deffinitly think there is a little rivalry goin on
yea its a bit weird.. i dont understand... its not like we are fighting over anything.. its just dumb... the kids are all cool, but the parents.. they are wack...
not much anymore really, i think they're pretty even now.
oh yeah? well OUR harmony beats your harmony's bottoms!! south edison/west edison/metuchen RULES!!! whoooooohoooo!!! whooooohoooo!!! *looks around*
nevermind
Actually most people started out in my hall, Dover. Its understandable why they left, I would if I could.
i'm ex-dover !
me too! twice removed!
better stay that way too!
So am I... in fact your mom (that would be Ian's mom...) once told me that when she was a teen-ager that she used to come to the book study that was in my parents house!
my grandmother started out there along with my mother and older bro, but they moved before i was born
