  If WT are cutting back on mags will they also cut back on Bethelites?

  by truthseeker in

  i was thinking after hearing about the agm cutbacks to the mags and other website content surely they will end up dismissing more bethelites?

  i would have thought in the old days, before the web, an artist or writer at bethel would have been a full time job making content for four 32 page mags a month.

  now what are these guys going to do?.

  ok, so hot on the heels of the announcement at the agm, we have been told that there are probably only 12 magazines left!.

  yes, there will be only 3 wt each year, and 3 awakes.... and that they will do this for two years, then reprint those issues.... so yes, the "abundance of spiritual food" is limited to 12 more magazines..... surely, this is proof of the end coming so soon!?!

  click on new topic--then select a subject area. there is a private members only section..

  but--in any case--no-one knows who--or where --you are.

  heres another--me !

  back in 1971--when all this elder stuff was just beginning....i decided to quit being a dub. it was a sunday morning--and i was due to give the talk that afternoon. i had skimmed through the talk script--something about a big cooking pot--? WTF. i couldnt make head nor tail of it.

  anyway--i phoned the congregation servant ( a former branch servant in africa or summat )--and he invited me over to see him--at his house.

  i came straight to the point--told him i was resigning and the reasons why. in the course of the following conversation--he said he was glad i had told him--as he was intending to put me forward as an elder !! and it would have been embarrassing if i quit after being appointed !

  holy spirit in action.

  my arse.

  OntheWayOut do you mean 'mixed' religiously? When the Witnesses use that word that's usually what they mean, but I thought your wife was still in?

  No, she is a JW. I mean the old C.O. literally thought white JW's marrying black JW's was "spiritually" bad. I told him I had prayerfully examined my situation and read mags about such.

  He said I would not find such couples in Gilead, and rarely at Bethel. I found and showed him a recent Gilead class photo with a black/white couple.

  
  

  outrageous.

  one of the GB has a very attractive wife--who happens to look a lot younger than him--and is "of colour "

  cannot wait to see this.

  is it going to be in regular cinemas?

  i love the fact that the guardian newspaper, the same paper that exposed their un involvement, are the ones reviewing this.. p.s.

  I understand the external shots are a real KH, as the Guardian reviews says - they location scouted a KH that had recently been sold, and therefore dealt with the new owners for using it for filming

  
  

  oh that is sweet !
