eduardo & family with kids will pioneer and survive on 10% of his regular income.. .. .
page 24. .
sort of reminded me of this guy: father of four quits job after attending annual meeting.
THE GB have no concept of personal poverty (even near poverty) with family> nO concept of food bills, rent, utilities, gas, car repair, dental, medical bills etc. etc. etc. Not once in the HQ did they have to worry about such things. Even the very poor provide for them.
They say something like "there are rich people that are not happy." My word,, people in poverty are definitely not happy,,depression extremely high among very poor people. The children mirror their parents anxieties extremely.
most partakers are disqualified too because most are female,,females are good/quaified enough to 'reign' in heaven, but not goodqualified/ enough to 'govern' with the GB on earth.

i believe official us figures on unemployment and inflation are 'managed'.. compare inflation in the us to jw publisher growth.
how do they keep pace with expenses?
They are dumping Bethelites in the street, but added 1,107 additional (no doubt younger and healthier) ordained ministers (5% increase). The HQ increased 8.7% in funds for spec. pios, missionaries & T.O.s.
the 2014 yearbook has a scan of the 1914 countdown card.
it does not say whether this was published by the watchtower or independently, so please let me know if you have any further information about it.
in typical offensive fashion, the yearbook blames the members rather than themselves for the false expectations held for 1914.. some bible students even carried a countdown card so that they could mark off each passing day.
Amazing
THIS chart was not done by someone"s personal hand chart>>THIS was 'machine' printed,,people didn't have Excel then to do some 'individual' chart like that. Wish there was some way to investigate who did it?.. I suspect very much it was done at BEthel.
he sold his bicycle.
malachi, an elder who lives in burundi, earned his living by farming and by transporting loads on his bicycle.
in order to support their kingdom hall construction project, malachi decided to be at the construction site every day.
Yearbook : http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/ pages in back, 175-187
The experience could have been made up in part,,though could be partially so,,it is so irritating, that the HQ puts such out to manipulate people that are ekeing by,,especially as so much is sent on to HQ to build new buildings with all the comfort, only for many with less to give to such a lie.
there are rumors out, that the italy (rome) bethel is being shut down and putting out to pasture a large portion of the bethel staff.. has anyone heard anything... ?.
the word is that everyone but the most senior members will be let go.
the senior bethel family members will be reassigned.
2014 Yearbook saying 1% (actually .8%) increase in Italy. Not much.
one of the friends at extj forum provided this list of wt branches that have been closed so far, there is also a mention that two large ones are in the process of being dismantled, they are spain and argentina.
posted for informational purposes and it seems to be accurate.. thanks for reading.
1) alaska.
What are the "30 zones" of the Watchtower? Is this an 'international corporation' setup requirement issue? Is it a few branches per 'zone?'
