Memorial campaign with videos??
by BeautifulMind in
1. jw
2. friends
good morning from the east coast.

i have a question.

a friend of mine texted me and one of the things she said was that they were getting a lot of great responses with the campaign because they are showing the video.
Gayle

someday, will the WT be desperate for memorial attendance numbers, to have memorial program online? Really, why do people have to go, scramble from work, to make memorial, herd in and out as cattle. for other cong. when there is only 1 partaker per 8 congs. It's just another of their whirlwinds.

New movie "Spotlight" coming out - child abuse cover-ups

i just saw a commercial for a new movie coming out.

spotlight - about a newspaper exposing the cover-ups of the catholic church about child sexual abuse.

michael keaton, mark ruffalo.

I was amazed "Spotlight" won the 2016 Academy Awards for Best Movie last night!! I think it really verifies that people are not going to put up with religion. They aren't going to unquestion religion anymore! They are not going to let 'religion' hurt people anymore. More will listen to the similarity of the Watchtower organization who has covered up the disgusting pedophile issue in the organization. Also, exposure about their stance on "shunning" and how the the WT is splitting up families and the people will have utter disgust for the whole jw.org.

New letter about new tasks for the shipping department at Bethel Selters

2. beliefs
many times in the past i benefited from information posted in this forum.

today i want to let you participate with a new letter that elders in germany received this week.

it's only available in german, french and italian.
Gayle

So, the WT is saving costs, to ship all mags/literature to save shipping costs to have Selters to turn around and ship to 101 countries,???
What otherwise 'books' do they print in England branch now?? What 'works' are being done there in England now?? Why is all this priority building being done now in Britain?
Seems there is such helter-skelter manic operations in the WT. A struggling to survive?? Could the Britain "charity status" be threatening??
The WT.org can always rely on its members to jump for them to work for free and save a dime for their leadship as they to try to brace up the tottering organization.

Just heard from someone who was just in Cozumel that there are 9 Kingdom Halls in about a mile zone.

2. current
it's because of their tremendous growth.

can anyone verify?
Gayle

2015 Service Report shows in Mexico there ratio of 1 JW per 146 population. With 100,000 in Cozumel, at that ratio, could be 684 pubs. about. So, if there are 76 pubs. per cong. that would come to 9 congregations. Most population in San Miguel.

Some people are comfortable with slavery! When these have accepted slavery all their lives, how can they walk away from it when old. They have made their cage, and now must die in it.

So I had a conversation with an older brother...
by My Name is of No Consequence in
1. jw
2. experiences
recently, i was speaking with an older brother who is well into his 80's and is a widower.

he explained to me that it is tough getting old and that "nothing works right anymore".

he told me that he was able to get through his 70's with few problems.
Gayle

They became comfortable with their lies. In all these decades, nothing could 'poke' their heart of truth. Their heart of truth died long ago.

Hope JWs can see this and acknowledge that the org. is getting lots of big money in all this. Hopefully many will surmise they don't need to knock themselves out in giving so much money to Headquarters.
