  The Witnesses Are Really Trying Hard To Get Me Back In

  by minimus in

  at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.

  evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.

  it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..

  They feed on sadness, fear and guilt. I am really sorry you have to endure this at such an important and emotional time of your life.

  I can't believe how many branches have been closed and sold.

  Are there large branches in the far East?

  JWs are getting worried about the lay-offs in the ORG.

  i'm upstairs, eavesdropping on a conversation between an eldubs wife and my wife.

  they are hoping for "clarification" on everything that's going on with the construction scene.

  so, rest assured, dubs are talking.

  Slidin' Fast how reliable are your numbers for the Britian branch? That drop is unbelievable, even if it's between now and next August. Good God!

  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"

  I guess I am callous or something but I don't really feel bad. They willingly gave up other opportunities in life while all the time feeling superior to others. They volunteered and were treated like celebrities in the congregations most of the time and they've lived pretty much free for as long as they've been at bethel working. It was a win-win situation for them, now the society doesn't need them so their volunteering is over.

  I doubt they'll wake up. Dubs seeing everything through the lens of 'this is the end - work work work'. They'll probably be more loyal than before since they'll be even more afraid the end is here.

  with today's events the message and tone of this video makes a lot more sense.

  thus the defeated, failing, delivery.. http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201509_1_video.

  it had a purpose.

  First off I have to say that was sickening to watch.

  Second WOW! I can't believe he said apostates want to say we're dogmatic and believe whatever we're told and then said we should believe whatever we're told! That was the stupidest most lame presentation ever. I agree that he seemed really uncomfortable and not believable.

  I think based on this there will be further doctrinal changes which may really upset the publishers. The money savings things are one point and a corporate necessity but I think the still to come doctrinal changes will shake some dubs to their core.
