yeah, Steph may be "the gentleman".....but you sure are funny, Nathan.
I still find it hard to believe that you didn't know that Natas wasn't Satan spelled backwards.
You apostates are so wily.
waiting
ps: This really is a good thread.....and I give it back now.
Nat
I truly apologize-- but i loved that concept
SORRY BOUT THAT
Metatron,
Through the gift of "outside help" we too have come to believe in the idea that "Principles Monitor All Situations". The monitoring continues.
Thanx
That's OK, JT, that's OK. But I have another question: you said
See you ARE A FOOL-- :)
Clothes make he man.
...and Waiting, can you PROVE to me that "Natas" is "Satan" spelled backwards? I don't think so, because I know what I am prepared to believe.
It cost more than 90.00 per month, don't they pay for health benefits too? By the time you figure housing Utilities, food etc. it can get expensive.
Does this mean _they_ are finally going down?
It would be nice to see in *my* lifetime!
While I share your wish, b_ster, I think that this "downsizing" or RIF (reduction in force) is intended to make it possible for the WTS to continue operations for longer than they might otherwise be able to.
I wonder how much value the WTS lost in the current stock market downturn? That might be anotherelement behind why they are doing this. If "untrained volunteers" were managin their stock portfolio, they could be DOWN 75% or more. I'm sure they know that "untrained volunteers" are only fit for cannon fodder.
Most JWs sense something is amiss. Since they can't quit without losing their ties to JW family and friends they let it be known the only other way they can: cutting money in the donation boxes.
Some have said donations have gone down as much as 50% since Armageddon didn't come when predicted and tax laws forced the Watchtower Society to tell members to stop asking for specific book and magazine donation amounts.
They can always outsource printing to private businesses run by other JWs. There must be some gleeful former CO's and DO's chomping at the bit for that money!
hey metatron-
heard some inside dope about this too. Went to memorial, and we had a speaker from WT farm who happens who is fairly high up and happens to be a family friend. Don't think he was aware that I'm inactive now. Oh well.
Pretty much said what you said, minus the numbers. Additionally, they are moving ALOT of printing stuff to WT farm from Brooklyn and some people. More stuff than people. Hmmmm.
Future printing press firesale at WT farm?
lol.
no1
Don't you think this is a long planned action? I think they moved all the important departments to Patterson - not the printing. And now they are downsizing at Brooklyn.
