  Dear God, please help Brothers Morris, Lett, Jackson, Sanderson, Splane, Sleepy and Dopey to cope when the flock and the rest of the world finally see what total and utter bastards they are and start leaving the religion in droves and the world's media start coming after them.

  The new changes is a clear indication that we are one step closer to the end...

  that was today's topic over a group chat of my cong's young jbots.

  apparently the rumors are circulating everywhere i go, even people from the spanish congs are talking about it.

  what's really sad is that the majority of people are already seeing this as "clear" signs of the end coming.

  I agree with all the responses so far. This response is to be expected, how else do you cope with unsettling changes when you are not allowed to voice your concerns.

  The novelty will wear off pretty quickly though once they realize they are being short-changed.

  Will Gilead Go Away?

  by freemindfade in

  just a total speculative thought i had.

  with branches getting cut, special pioneers getting sacked, and bethel members going byebye, is there a need for gilead still?

  (co's are probably on the block too lests be honest).. if they got rid of that i feel that would be huge.

  Anywho, will Gilead go away?

  I'm sure there are plenty of people in non-English-speaking countries that sure as hell hope so.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/491270004/mass-disassociation-pact?size=10&page=15.

  the topic above got me thinking.

  everyone here can't send a disassociation letter due to family or other reasons.

  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.

  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

  1. watchtower
  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.
