I'm calling bullshit on this one. You have made a lot of amazing claims but have offered zero proof in a lot your threads. You should start doing so.

Barrold Bonds= Be careful what you say. I thought the hanging of the national flags in Chilean KH, was so outrageous that I labeled it bull shit, and ploy from some angry twisted apostate. 12 months later I was forced to eat my words. -

I can believe in the food cutbacks. In 1975, when I was at Watchtower Farms, the price of coffee and sugar began to climb. We were asked to cut back on our coffee drinking (easy for me since I don't indulge) and donuts and pastries were no longer free flowing like they were pre 1975. So yes, the food cutbacks are entirely possible. 'Let them eat cake!'

I wouldn't be surprised if the WTS doesn't as jw families and home congregations to donate money for every Bethelite from their area.
It reminds me of prisons in some countries where families have to bring food, water, and other necessities to their family there rather than the prison supply it (learned from Ethiopian jw).

Could they be doing this to get ones to leave on the own and by this not have to pay them some kind of welfare later through the government?

Maybe they actually want bethelites to get so pissed off that they leave. That way it can be seen as the bethelites decision and the bethel hatchet men don't have to "lay off" anyone.
Wouldn't put anything past the psychopaths that run the branches, nor doubt the dog eat dog mentality that must exist inside these bethels.

Sorry crazyguy, I must have been writing my comment at the same time as you, not realizing it was already said.
Great minds and all😉

ToesUp: The natives are getting restless. I think the next few years are going to be VERY interesting. We are hoping things will come back to bite WT in the a**.
I, too, think the nest few years are going to be very interesting. -

This week-end Spain Bethel family is getting a family gathering party.
In the last weeks, there were a rebellion on board. A lot of brothers and couples not staying on lunch or dinner. Many of them doing noise with the chairs during prayers at Morning Worship...
Some of them shared their situation with local congregations.
Finally after days, they got the monthly allowance... With a clear statement that money will be available. On this gathering very good grilled meat was shared....
