72Rumor of new light on the headquarters of the WT
by wolfman85 ini read in a forum in spanish that there is a strong rumor spreading in the corridors of the wt.
has anyone heard anything about this??
the change that is emerging is this: the great crowd has not yet appeared, and it is a group that comes out of the great tribulation.

It Appears The Elderly Are More Taken Care Of Then Ever Before By The Elders
by minimus ini usually find fault with the religion but i must give credit when due.
in the hall my mom is in, they regularly check on her and assign different ones to visit and check on the elderly.. if there's a storm or an extremely cold day, they come by to make sure the elderly have everything they need..

Since the "new" ones becoming less and less, baptisms decreasing, etc., they'll have more time to take care of each other, especially for their increasing numbers of aging. I know, even years ago, those (including me) that were counting time on inactive elderly, in nursing home. Can't say that I regret that either; she had nothing/nobody else.

NEW STUDY AT THE KINGDOM HALL. ADVICE NEEDED.
by DATA-DOG inas the title suggests, there is a young man studying the bible teach book and attending meetings.
at every meeting that he has attended, there have been some really cultish comments.
of course i hear them loud and clear now, and for years then were coming through, that is why i woke up.. anyway, at the meeting i was sitting there, hating it, listening to all the emotion comments from the audience.

I would contemplate to try to leave the "Pamphlet" printout on jwfacts.com in his car. or, if you can get his address,,maybe on "whitepages.com" and send anonymously.
Or, if anyone wants to pm me if you have his email or possibly facebook, I could send an 'message' from me, an unknown, as I am free from WTS 20 years now. I don't need to know your name, email or nothing. Just PM me and let me know what I can do.

If they stop printing the yearly totals, will they stop tracking hours?
by Splash inso if the soc stop printing the yearly totals in the yearbook as many are predicting, does this mean there is no longer any need to keep track of each individuals hours?.
will this mean the end of our monthly reports?.
*** km 12/02 p. 8 par.

I don't think the 'rank & file' pay any attention to the Annual Service Report anyway. The WTS has pushed it out of the WT, to the front part of the Yearbook and now to the very back. Most probably didn't even note it. Even in the U.S. KM that note "Highlights" really don't show increases anymore (maybe for a couple independent islands, but actual U.S).
If any really did seriously check it out, I think they'd have to get depressed. Hardly much notable increases truly.

Has she talked w/other coworkers about JWism? Then, could you anonymously leave a copy on her desk inconspicuously of the "Pamphlet" on jwfacts.com?
Since she's the one bringing up things about her religion there at work. The pamphlet at least may keep her from bringing up her crazy religion.

Service Dept VS Writing Dept
by Socrateswannabe ini have seen it alluded to in various posts that there is a major rift between the service and writing departments at the world hq.
for those of you in the know, please explain what is going on, who the players are, what turf are they battling over, who is winning, and the consequences of all of this.
i am intrigued but i know nothing about it.

at the annual meeting,,it was stated there were 70 checkpoints to publication,,legal dept no doubt involved,,and then all 8 GB have to vote to make sure the holy spirit was able to get at least 2/3 of them for a majority in agreement, so that service & writing mostly agree etc.,,no wonder they have had to dumb dow & simplify,otherwise,,nothing would get don.e

2014 DC
by Rattigan350 inthey read a letter about the 2014 district conventions and how some would be international.. my thought was that this is a gimmick to get people excited.
the organization has jumped the shark so they need.
to use gimmicks to bring excitement.. the congregations were to pass a resolution to for $.15 per publisher for 17 months to go to a fund to bring the missionaries home,.

So the WTS would encourage all to send it upfront so they won't forget? times 7.5 million = $19M +?
How many "missionaries" are there now?

Hello Belbab,,your experience hit me so hard in the heart,,I never desired to go to Gilead ,,went to Bethel instead,, I knew a very memorable Gilead student gal. Maria (69-'70),, from Puerto Rico, sent to Ecuador ( I think) ..good as they come too,, she died in her assignment,, my heart sinks as she was so genuine, outstanding. But I know Knorr was cruel as they come in my opinion.. I know, I should get over it,, I have ,, my life so far removed now,, but I too,, in some unique aspects,, that are difficult to relate to, to this day.
