  Interviews to select new Governing Body members

  by Lostandfound in

  2. beliefs

  imagine the scene, a comfortable conference room in brooklyn hq, with a round table with a handful of current gb members on one side.

  a lone chair opposite is for the prospective new gb members to sit and be questioned as to their fitness.

  lett asks, "have maintenance fitted your room with new light bulbs?".

  Org Is RACIST! Towards Sisters Of COLOR In Particular--IMO!

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.

  i'm coming to this conclusion from a couple of videos on jw broadcasting about single sisters.. after watching this video: .

  "One of the worse jobs at Bethel is the bindery line. Go there and check it out 80% of the people there are black or Spanish." - new boy

  Believe it or not, some a$$hole told me the reason for this. He said that people of color have better 'rhythm' and so can flip the 'signatures' in concert with the speed of the machine. Whether it was really policy or not, I don't know .Although I wouldn't have put it past Max Larsen or Calvin Chyke to come up with something that racist.

  How Detached Are The Governing Body From Members Of the Bethel Family Where They Live?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  well consider for a moment the layoffs at bethel?

  the gb simply reassigned them out in the field for after many years of service it seems with out batting an eye with no real severance pay.

  now to me that spells detachment and lack of any real concern for those who served loyally for years.. spain is trying to get some type benefits for the people/citizens in their country who served the wt corporation for years and are no longer of any use to the corporation.

  Fisherman is absolutely correct. Once upon a time, Bethelites were encouraged to make Bethel life their career. From my acceptance letter: "I hope.....you will remain much longer and become a permanent member of the Bethel family." - N. H. Knorr ( signed in ink, not rubber stamped)

  "It was the underling feeling that deep down you knew that they really didn't care for us workers." - new boy

  And they 'made no bones about it'! I was having terrible digestion problems at Bethel. Most of the time I vacillated between constipation, diarrhea and throwing up. So I went and talked my issues over with Dr. Roylance. His answer was: 'If you don't like the food at Bethel, you can LEAVE at any time.' No medical advice or ordering of tests to see if he could help me. Years later, after still suffering I found out that I had severe 'gluten sensitivity'. Thank goodness for two REAL doctors from two different disciplines. Both were wise enough to give me an endomysial antibody blood test. I am still not 100% but am doing better than I was at 'Gods House'. At Bethel, you were just another 'cog in the wheel' that could be replaced at any time.

  1000 Years is Like 1 Day?

  by Sorry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone else hear about this.

  as all j-dubs know, whenever someone complains about how long the "new system" is taking too arrive, they use the excuse that jehovah works on his own time.

  quite a few times during the public talks, i've heard speakers say the phrase "1000 years to us is only one day to jehovah" (my parents never stop talking about this).

  JeffT...........please, please, please stop using your 'worldly' 'Satan based' accounting education to try and figure out the meaning of Bible passages. You must leave that up to the 'fallible, error prone, uninspired but spirit directed' Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.(tm) Other than that, your post was utterly fantastic and 'smirk worthy' to the highest degree!
