  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  The sooner full time servants assimilate back into normal life the sooner they may begin to wake up.

  I know I would prefer to live in reality than rely on a cult for my survival.

  The "special" pioneer arrangment had it's problems. A couple I know personally, absolutely busted a gut to "special" pioneer and when they finally got their wish they found it harder than regular. The cost of living was very high, the allowance they recieved didn't cover much, they lived for free in a sister's garage and relied heavily on handouts and freebies from the congregation. Once they realized how difficult it was their new "goal" became Bethel service.

  Oh don't feel bad for them they got their "reward in full" in the form of theocratic celebrity status and many "privileges," and had no problem letting you know how "special" they were.

  Good riddance to this unsustainable arrangement. It was cruel to all involved.

  To me they seem to be cutting off any expensive nonessentials so that all funds go directly to HQ.

  Prolly all part of the plan.

  so this weeks service meeting is so full of "crazy".

  a whole 15 min part devoted to trying to indoctrinate everyone on how to "explain our beliefs on 1914".

  then another 15 min part called "a tool to help us explain our beliefs about 1914".

  Anyway, a great slogan.

  Are the GB very intelligent men with higher than average IQ? Or are they stupid men who were put in their position by sheer “LUCK”

  are the governing body of the wt wickedly smart with extremely high iq or are they leaders of the wt because they were at the right place at the right time.

  (in other words, pure luck )-think lottery.

  ive seen them talk in jwtv and you can never convince anyone in the whole world that these guys are in the same category as someone smart or cunning like jim simons who founded renaissance technologies or bill gates.

  Indoctrination has nothing to do with intelligence, it bypasses the rational thinking part of the brain.
