  i had a long conversation last night with an old jw friend whose sister and brother-in-law are bethelites since the 1970s.

  she is an artist, and he runs a small but important department there.. we were talking about the bethel downsizing (my friend was well aware of it), and i told him i figured his sister and b-i-l would be safe due to the fact that they are now in their 60s and have something close to 4 decades seniority.

  but he said no, that they were worried that they would be asked to leave as well, sent into the circuit work or as special pioneers sent where the "need is great.".

  Now everybody knows and accepts as fact that the Watchtower Society's Governing Body told lots of younger Bethelites to go back out into the congregations, but when this was first told on the Christian Witnesses website some readers doubted it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ChristianWitnesses

  Something I'd like to get totally clear on is if it was 1,500 in total that are going back to the local level or just what number? Any clarification on it yet?

  Might this lead to the Governing Body's dismissing Bethelites in the branch facilities in other nations as well? Perhaps someone from Australia, South Africa, the U.K. etc might care to comment on this if they've heard anything on it one way or another.

  Cheers

  When silentlambs.org protested at Brooklyn about elders being ordered to hide and protect pedophiles and send them door-to-door preaching, Pat Garza said ############, had ritualistically molested her and at least two boys (an allegation he refused to answer British news reporter when they asked about it in Oklahoma and ran from them) --- so why think it would bother him and like-minded Governing Body members to throw out older Bethelites? Such things are Satanically selfish and inconsiderate in my book too.
  

  
  
  Now my only question is, What Next? They have eaten alive the older ones and bashed the young ones in a Watchtower article. Everybody gets blamed except for ###### and his boys. Children and older adults are not only raped by pedophile elders and ministerial servants but routinely, ritualistically bled to death over their anti-emergency blood transfusions policy. If this isn't Satanic, what is?
  

  
  
  What next?

  a new study (available here) run at the university of leicester seems to indicate that people who have lived hard lives, been knocked around, or otherwise had things go south on them are more likely to be gullible and easily misled or even brainwashed.

  you should read the entire article, because it's full of things i can identify with as a jw.

  so what kind of people are typically affected?
