  Ray Franz is, too use language from the book 1984, an "unperson". Here is an example of an unperson in Stalin's regime:

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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.

  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.
