In Us the monthly stipend is around $900 per couple. Plus they are on the borg's health insurance. Healthcare cost is real reason for the downsize, it will mostly be couples in their 50's and older who will be released from bethels and SP. A couple who graduated two years ago from Couples school has already been released from program due to their age. The brother was pissed!!! He told me they know how old he was when they accepted him.

NO love amongst themselves, they only want the money!

Printing Company to Video Production Company - Insider Information

by thedepressedsoul in

many people think that wt is a publishing company and at one time that was true.

however, they are slowly fading that out into more digital publications.

we all have come to the conclusion that printed material from the wt is going way of the dinosaur.

I asked this to cedars but got no response, has anyone else heard that Tony Morris is sick? I have been told by two bethelites they have heard he was, and he looked terrible on his latest morning worship.

Yes they can watch it in their rooms. Also if you live off campus, they now get a $25 credit for eating your own breakfast while watching morning worship in your room.

They have told all bethelites this year to actually attend the annual meeting (instead of watching it in their room) to get the most benefit of the program. They must be passing out the new workbook or simplified bible teach book.

Britain Branch Construction - UPDATE

by The Searcher in

definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .

me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.

debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

They are finishing the one building at the new site that was already started, the rest of the project has been put on hold indefinitely.

E-Mail, Just recived. About Bethell adjustments.

by DwainBowman in

i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

here is the email: .

---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

Absalom

I have been told that they are considering closing and selling the canada branch and the UK branch and moving printing back to wallkill and the German Branch.

Also compared sending home all the bethel volunteers to Gideon sending home his troops until he only had 300 left.

Band Green Day and JWs

by hardtobeme in

a few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.

i think that the witnesses were bethelites.

the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.

I saw Green Day, and Pearl Jam perform while I was at bethel. I guess Satan was not aware of my presence that night.

Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?

by Naoscillator in

so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.

only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.

he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

Absalom

The new CO in my circuit in USA has removed 40 elders already, but none of them have been demoted to MS. I actually think it is a positive thing. Maybe it will wake more people up.

The 1995 Generation Change

by sloppyjoe2 in

jw
friends

i was just a teenager and have a vivid memory of sitting in a chair doing a microphone for the sunday meeting.

everyone was commenting that it didn't mean the end was far off, and it didn't change the condition of the dead, or the 144,000, or the trinity so we should still remain faithful.

this is my first memory as a kid being just a teen that i ever had a single doubt.

Magnum hit the nail on the head. Most witnesses nowaday, do not read! That is why they play so many videos now. Most dubs now just parrot what they hear from the stage or the TV show.
