Seems like this is really for foreign language groups. Now you just watch your meetings streamed in every week, no need to worry about not having any qualified local brothers giving the talks. -

How does moving up the deadline help to "make the best use of dedicated funds"?
I guess you are saving some money by moving up the completion date by 3 months. They feed all the workers right? Saving 3 months food costs, that's saving something. Other than that, off the top of my head I can't think how it saves them money.

@harrisonsamu: @(Im not going to post his Twitter handle) is it true you guys are not getting hard copies of the watchtower and awake? You'll have to print them out yourselves?

@harrisonsamu: @redacted I heard starting in 2016 you won't in India anymore
@redacted: @harrisonsamu No!! There is nothing like that

by James Jack injust got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.
they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

Finally had a chance to read over that link I posted about the court case. Watchtower lost their tax exempt status of an apartment attached to a Kingdom Hall. Does anyone know what was the end result? Do they now pay property tax on that Kingdom Hall in Beaverton Oregon? -

Hilarious Whatsapp message received - FIRST day after Big D
by cognitivedizzy ina hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.
day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.
the last few weeks have been sheer terror.

Others were somewhat disappointed some of their love ones did not make it, but soon were swept up in the euphoria of this great day, and were smiling with everyone else
So if your family gets killed you won't be to bummed out about it apparently.

From the late 80's to late 90's in the Midwest
shaw-first co I remember, seemed like a nice guy
Parrish-no real memories of him
Christian-I was a kid but caused quite a stir in our hall, almost broke up the congregation
Keith Macaslin-wife was from the Philippines. He was a huge jerk, full of himself. I remember he stopped his Sunday talk, because some kids weren't paying attention. He told us the information he was giving was life saving and if we weren't going to take it seriously we need to leave the hall! Right in the middle of his talk. He would get mad if people put their bibles away and got out their songbooks at the end of his talk. He would tell us, he'll tell us when to do that.

I think the wt articles have left enough wiggle room that you can't say with 100% certainty when they stared to profess to be anointed.
