  What about JW missionaries?

  by Magnum in

  what is the situation with jw missionaries now?

  wasn't there a change in the last few years?

  weren't they told they would have to live with locals or something like that?

  I bet you will see the missionaries come home next. Their families will end up supporting most of these ones. I no longer believe the congregation can or will do this. They have tapped the congregations dry and pissed most off. The only way these pissed off ones can have a voice is stop donating. The kool aid drinking ubers are too broke to donate because the majority have no education and have been worshiping a man made organization. WT has shot themselves in the foot and karma is biting them in the a**. Now we can enjoy our weekend!

  C.O.'s Are Perfectly Safe...

  ... until they have fulfilled their role in the org's master plan to sit down with the bodies of elders in the circuits and ascertain which congregations should be merged or consolidated.

  this "culling" of k.h.

  's will now have to be accelerated - considering the panic to rake in cash.. after the c.o.

  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"

  I feel sorry for them as well. On the flip side...some (not all) of these people getting the pink slip have outwardly condemned the ones who have chosen a different course (college, secular jobs and raising families). We hope some of these ones will come to the realization that you can not rely on anyone else but yourself. WT and the GB are only worried about themselves. Sad but true!

  Template to dump Special Pioneers

  by avaddohn94 in

  "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:.

  So, today being a special pioneer is the most important work one can do for Jehovah. As of Jan 1, 2016, not any more! Follow the money!

  How the college educated/employed "weak" JW's will soon be "used"

  by ToesUp in

  once these laid off bethelites are released from their duties, where will they go?.

  how many will turn to their "spiritually weak" families for a place to live, a meal or financial aid?

  the ones who have been criticized over the years for attending college and getting a good job may soon become an asset to the ones who have been relieved of their duties .

The ones who have been criticized over the years for attending college and getting a good job may soon become an asset to the ones who have been relieved of their duties . We have watched some of our family members (Bethelites/pioneers) openly judge the ones who have decided to attend college and work for a living. Are the family members who have been openly judged and criticized going to want to help these ones?

  It's funny how so many can judge so quickly but how the tables turn in their hour of need.

  So many of the laid off Bethelites could be pissed. Anyone ever been laid off? It sucks! Especially if you have been working for free waiting for your pet panda for years.
