Funny my cousin who's husband is a higher up at Bethel in "finance" or "purchasing" just made a visit to the Spanish Bethel, wondering if he was checking on things? HA! Yes our lovely holy spirit appointed elders, NOT! -

My cousins (husband and wife) that are in the "purchasing" or "finance" dept seem to make out pretty well, they get flown all over the world checking in at the foreign branches and went to India for 6 weeks to check out possible outsourcing of printing. They seem to get many more vacations than any other Bethelites I've known. They are in the compound in Wallkill, have their own apartment and even a garden patch. Ahh life in the higher ranks of the WT is wonderful!!

Funny I just heard through my family grapevine that my cousin is going back to school to get her teaching degree, she's a recently baptized witness (35 years) however was born in and never went for it until the last couple of years. So I think some witnesses aren't even listening and just doing whatever they want even though they are attending meetings and acting like good little witnesses! She posted that she was going to get a teaching degree, that's so interesting to me since witnesses are so anti-education. She seems to have a free pass however since her father is an elder and will bend over backwards for her no matter what! -

Campaign to Israel
by humanperson ini have been wanting to introduce myself but i don't know where to begin.
my husband and i are enjoying our third guilt-free weekend of our lives (both born-in, almost 30).
he has been out mentally for the last year and a half but patiently waited for me to come around.

I have an uber JW cousin that is applying to go to Israel and has her head so far up in the clouds she doesn't see any danger or threat, she's traveled all over as a single woman and had no problems so why should this be any different she says! Get a clue people! And yeah WTF do you have to apply to go, just go if you think Israel needs to be preached too so much! these people are unbelievable!

JW.org broadcasting studio
by Lynnie inapparently the very cool thing to do now is when you go to bethel you go and have your picture taken in the studio!
my uber elder cousin and his wife just did that back in ny.
it's probably not for everyone, my cousin's daughter and son in law are very "high up" in the org in "finance" and that's how they probably got to do it.

Or they really do allow people to actually to have their picture taken in the sacred broadcasting studio?

Reinstatement via Old Cong.
by startingover13 ini've applied to be reinstatement in a new city after attending meetings for a bit.
i wrote my letter and they heard my case.
they were very helpful.

Lynnie
What if you hadn't bother to tell the new congo that you were a witness and pretended to be a "new person?" and studied like someone who had never been a witness? Would they somehow have a "background" check done on you?

Witnesses and care of the elderly
by Lynnie inmy uber jw mother fell and broke her arm a couple of weeks ago.
first off no one told me until 5 days later when i called to check in with her.
there was someone staying with her at the time but that person was going to have to go elsewhere for a week.

Well I'm sorry but my "natural affection' for my mother is long gone and I'm pretty sure there is no getting it back after the abuse and shunning for 35 years. SORRY! I will be helping with her this weekend however since I'm not that bad of a guy but I HATE being ordered around by my uber edler witness cousin. And being lied to as well, he said he needed to spend time with his dad(my uncle) this weekend and I found out from another family member that my uncle is out of town with my cousin's daughter!!! Oh and do you think he'll be available to help me if I ever needed it? Bet you a million dollars NOT!!!
