on the Highlights of info of publisher increases on the islands,,, just wondering, did a lot of publishers from the mainland move to those islands in June and for their summer vacation. Just thinking how the WT 'double posts' their pubs. In fact, now I wonder maybe that's what they do for all pubs. stats elsewhere. They move from one congregation to another but get double counted in their 'peak' count.

this letter will be read in all the congregations of brazil on the service meeting this week.

(google translation - original available)originala todas as congregacoesprezados irmaos:nao ha duvida de que jeova tem abencoado ricamente seu povo no mundo inteiro.

isso fica evidenteno aumento do numero de publicadores e no notavel progresso espiritual de nossa organizacao.

Seems if Brazilian JWs see the buildings and very pleasant apartments being done shown in the pictures of the Warwick Branch that they will feel short-ended when not even KHs are allowed to be built in Brazil in near future. How will any/to most feel an inkling to donate to the worldwide headquarters when they have been informed that no building of any sort will be elsewhere.

Foreign countries have been burned enough from foreign businesses or religions that have taken advantage of them.

Welcome! What a survivor you are in many ways! Fortunately, you have broken through and now can provide a positive childhood for your son. He will get to have "normal" life and have unconditional love. So many best wishes to you and your family!

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

by Slidin Fast in

the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

Could their 'property flipping' mania be investigated now? And a 'freeze' has been placed on WT. Wwhat religion does this to this degree?

does anyone have an accounting of those properties?

which properties and possible value of sale?.

sounds like that the watchtower may want to sell quickly?

Sounds like that the Watchtower may want to sell quickly? Seems if 1,600 Bethelites have been announced dispensable, that many would start making plans now for any other options as soon as possible, and not necessarily wait ?

Rumor Confirmed!: Bethel Downsize First Hand

by freemindfade in

i just texted a very good remote worker friend, said i heard that there is a reduction in force coming at bethel and i hoped he wouldn't be affected.

.

he said its true, its not a rumor.

Gayle

Will this scare or motivate rank & file to accept a new "decree" that 10% tithe necessary now , but only a short time. (To restore building work and to restore laundry service for bethelites )

Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects

by James Jack in

a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

Gayle

Cutting Laundry service? Bethel is going to be a really 'stinking' place now!

How many Bethelites in Brooklyn Bethel currently? How many JW Brooklyn properties are not sold yet?

My thoughts re Pope Francis

so today i'm watching cbs news coverage of the popes visit to america.

first, let me say i'm not religious at all at this point in my life.

still a few things stood out to me about the news coverage of his visit.. first thing i wondered was if a gb member happened to garnish this much press (unlikely) what would his message be?
