Does the W.T have financial problems are are they just rebranding?

by The Rebel in

it is evident that the w.t has recently re-branded itself, and has become fairly modern in its marketing techniques.

so the organisation is in that respect forward thinking, and the former way of doing things has past.. .

but this rebranding has been done by marketing experts, who maybe realise progress is progress, and that with modernisation many bethelites " even as free volunteers" are possibly no longer required.

i wonder if we really are witnessing the beginning of the collapse of the watchtower.

nic--i heard a very similar story-----back in the late 60's--from bevan vigo--then the CO.

at the London Bethel guys would be on the back row with silver coins in their eyes--and stand up all together --to startle the speaker. perhaps thats where your mates got the idea from.

( i read on here some months back that bevan vigo is a senior guy at the beth hell these days.)

Long Story of my Life/Experience

by GrownMidget in

also, my wife has come to her limits of understanding me about the witnesses related grief i have been having.

she has told me many times to stop reading the ex-witness sites because i get depressed and become angry, which sadly is true.

it's not very productive to be sad throughout the entire day and then shout at your wife for the reason she has no first hand experience about, therefore how could she possibly know and help?

welcome to the site midget. sad life story--although i had to give up after the first 30 minutes.

3 local needs parts on service meeting.

by hoser in

it is scheduled on our service meeting next week to have 3 local needs parts.

local needs 1 , local needs 2 and local needs 3.

stan livedeath

apparently --there was a local needs talk--about me--lol. this was in 1981.

one of the sisters was disfellowshipped--then it was announced that--although i couldnt be d/f'd because i had already quit years before--therefore wasnt a JW---i was now considered as apostate--and should be shunned.

i wasnt there--of course--hadnt been to a meeting for years--i found out by a contact who was there.

i'd never heard of apostacy before. i think the elders were confusing it for adultery.

They took all the circuit's money!

by BackSlider in

during the assembly they made an announcement about contributions and as always mentioned how expenses outnumbered the contributions so far and we are at a deficit of $6700 or so.

however, they then said that our money on hand in savings for the circuit was $51,000 and that they voted and will be sending $45,000 of it to the society.

who voted?
