    Just one week from the Zone Overseer's visit is the announcement that the magazine production by the Australia Branch will end in a few months. The task being transferred to the Japan Branch. While I'm not 100% certain, I understand that this effectively ends all major printing bar perhaps tracts, handbills and other loose items.

    amazing if true and would surely be the end of the Australian branch, so Japan would feed all of South East Asia and Australasia ,Selters to feed all of Europe and that just leaves Africa where I dont know where the printing is done, is there a large branch in The Congo? Mexico feeds all of South America I suppose?

    Maybe minimizing their footprint as a protection against any legal action in the future.

    Downsize and sell assets now, move the money abroad and minimise funds available for any potential forced restitution as a result of the ARC.

    TO ALL CONGREGATIONS

    Dear Brothers,

    Re: Wonderful adjustments in Australia Branch!

    Due to continuing world wide expansion Jehovah's organization is recruiting bethelites in Australia. We particularly need lawyers and legal executives who specialise in "defending the good news" against "professed" victims of abuse and we have ready-made facilities to accommodate them.

    How happifying that these accommodations are becoming available at just the right time due to dozens of full-time servants accepting assignments to the field as regular pioneers as the work speeds up deep in the time of the end!

    One pair assigned to Oombawoomba in Northern Territory were overwhelmed! Brothers Toole and Tokley could not hold back tears of joy at their exciting new assignment.

    Furthermore this self-sacrificing attitude means we are able to announce the building by the LDC of a brand new translation office to facilitate an aboriginal language translation office in Alice Springs! This will be headed by a very experienced brother who is so thrilled at his new assignment. Brother Terrence O'Brien said he was determined to help the aboriginal people learn of our grand creator and His promises about to be realised soon, very soon!

    This office will have a traditional "outside dunny" and several rooms underneath an aboriginal hessian sheet and tin roof. We already have brothers to help build this facility and of course your donations will be used wisely.

    You have been very generous; but did you know you can now donate via jwdotorgasm? Why not try out his new provision at your next family worship evening?

    Please be assured of our warm Christian love and best wishes,

    Your brothers,

    CCoJW's

    PS to Bodies of Elders

    Please read this letter to the congregation at your next CLAM meeting.

    If brothers request clarification do not engage in any negative talk about the Australian Royal Commission whatsoever. Rather encourage them to prayerfully consider what they can personally give to support kingdom interests (Acts 20:35) by way of a modest donation.

    This postscript should neither be read to the congregation nor be posted on the noticeboard.

    And more loyal bethelites to be"reassigned" or as it called in thecoldworld of reality, sacked, without any help or assistance, are any signe emerging in the world of discontented ex bethelites hitting the cold hard streets? Congregations rejoicing at the inflow of effective beggars who must be in shock at their changed circumstances.

    Are the GB afraid to walk a factory floor, if there are many left, or do the "helpers" take the flack

    Britain zone visit this month, obvious what is coming, any buyers for land at Chelmsford??

    The postscript is amazing! Don't engage in negative talk about the ARC, just encourge them to donate more money. Typical.

    Those poor people who don't have access to the inter-net or a computer, aren't gong to be able to read life saving information from his exclusively chosen earthly publishing house the WTS.

    Maybe Jah doesn't want financially poor people into his soon to come earthly paradise ?
