  Bethel Layoff Notices arrive under Bethellite doors

  by Quarterback in

  2. friends

  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"

  Are Circuit Overseers next?

  by Londo111 in

  last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?

  of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.

  they would have to care for their own expenses.

  "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:.

  Largest amount of refugees since WW2 in Europe

  2. friends

  so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

  so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

  The irony of this picture is that Saudi Arabia has a refugee tent city that can hold over a million people completely empty. They're even air conditioned!

  WireRider: "A letter campaign. Mail bomb them."

  There are people, in a good position to do that, that are planning such a mail bombing. That's all I can say without revealing those plans.

  Printing Company to Video Production Company - Insider Information

  by thedepressedsoul in

  2. bible

  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.

  In your links section at the bottom; where you have recommended books listed; Crisis of Conscience and The Gentile Times Reconsidered are linked to Amazon where you have ridiculously overpriced copies.

  I suggest that you link both to free PDF copies that are available online.

  Cedars leaked letter requested to be taken down by WTBTS

  by umbertoecho in

  2. scandals

  i don't know if this is already posted so sorry people if it is.

  cedars site has had a request to take down the leaked letter regarding changes to the theocratic ministry school and other issues.. the reason given by wt is that it is a "copyright" issue.

  of course this validates the letters authenticity even more.. have a good day or night people.

  Fading Truth:

  "Village Idiot, are you volunteering to reimburse Simon for all legal costs and time spent to fight something that has been leaked sufficiently across the Internet?"

  I don't know what's involved in a counter notification but if it's a simple procedure that doesn't need any legal aid it should be done.
