Direction to display cong boundaries at KH

[Brandon]

We have some direction here, but it’s 26 years old: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202000289

 

is this still relevant? Has anything changed?

 

has there been anything new, perhaps about providing a digital map?

Good question. We have our congregation territory available digitally to the elders on JWHUB. We currently use Territory Helper and I can see the boundaries but I don't know if everyone in the congregation can. I really wish we had the boundaries for all of the congregations in the area available.

Is that part of a KH renovation? Is that part of the design etc.?

it seems strange, the trend over the years has been more and more info available to everyone. Example: at one time only witnesses were allowed to have copies (even digital ones) of the study watchtower, then later it was just online for everyone. Same with Kingdom Ministry later, and now even the Organized book is available to read online at WOL.

 

at one time meetings times were not public, now they are. and also assemblies.  Yet with this, congregation boundaries, it seems many KHs no longer display the cong map, even though the direction from 2000 says to.

 

and considering everything is digital now, why not make such a map available to all publishers, or even the general public (since the public would be able to see the wall map inside the KH anyways and could easily copy it by taking a photo)

 

many publishers probably have no access to their own cong map, even though years ago anyone who visited the KH could see it!

We have territory available, digitally, but it's broken down to territory maps. The boundaries are not marked on maps that border other congregations, but we have a master map for this, though not now on show at the KH. We have boundaries with five congregations, and occasionally have crossed over without a passport.

We do have our territory map framed and displayed in the KH 👍

We have always had a territory map displayed in our library, and when we formed 2 congregations, they drew up new ones and even have our individual  territories colored in different colors so it's easy to see them.

We recently had a total renovation of the KH. Just prior to that, we had a total update of the territories. 

 

A new map was made, and this new map is displayed on a new wall in the newly remodeled KH.
