  Bethel Layoff Notices arrive under Bethellite doors

  just heard from a reliable source that some at the canadian branch have received their lay-off notices under their doors at bethel.

  don't know what the letter looks like.

  probably something like, " the tribe has spoken, bring us your torches"

  Welcome to the jungle soon to be ex-bethelites.

  The good news is the "jungle" outside is way better than the "jungle" in there.

  Run free little bethelites, run free.

  These bastards are just sick!!!

  i was just thinking about one of rinehart 's friends that is still at bethel.

  old man being chastised about keeping up his hours if he wants to get his stipend.

  these poor people are being left high and dry with no money to old to work no social services to fall back on.

  No, Jesus didn't have an "organization."

  And yes, they are greedy, lying, heartless bastards.

  If you could go back in time what would you say to your younger self?

  Note to self: Do NOT give your life over to a cult!

  Link Between Child Abuse Cases and Financial Upheaval

  by HomebytheSea in

  2. child-abuse

  i really hope that, with all of the layoffs and construction suspensions going on that something more widespread comes out in the media discussing the huge payouts that wt will be responsible for regarding child abuse cases in the near future.

  at least this might be a wake up call to some.

  i fear that so many just think the end is coming & they aren't questioning what's really going on.

  Crazyguy - Exactly what I thought when the "weird crap" alert was issued back in 2013.

  I thought they are up to something and this is a warning.

  Are Circuit Overseers next?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?

  of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.

  they would have to care for their own expenses.

  The COs are another example of an unsustainable arrangement.

  The last few years of meeting attendance I noticed it was becoming harder and harder to find people willing to offer lunch and accommodation for the CO. I wondered if this was a trend elsewhere.

  Template to dump Special Pioneers

  "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:.

  There is no counseling for anyone "burned" by the borg.

  I think being disfellowshipped or being abused is far more traumatic than a demotion.

  I'll try and keep my outrage in perspective over this. People lose their jobs and can't pay their rent everyday and have to cope somehow.

  I like that, very appropriate.

  The idea of JWs being silent no more!

  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.
