They have no where else to go. They are most addicted to having 'unquestioning obedience' from their followers.
They will get that no where else. There will always be some such followers.

Organized book, not so up to date about Special Pioneers.
Special pioneers: 10:11, 14, 17-18
Still encouraging "special pioneering" after recent announcements for them to go back to "Regular Pioneer." Not many are 'special' anymore. Unless they're good at construction for Warwick only. -

Size-wise, are these listed here Bethel Branches of the largest ones? what other large bethels are there? How many Bethels are 'literature' producing? Is there a list of the 90 branches somewhere? -

This past week:like the last days of the Iron Curtain
by fr0808 infor those old enough to remember, the last days of soviet rule in eastern europe were astonishing.
you had this unchanging entity that controlled all aspects of people lives for decades.
then came the unraveling.

I don't follow news too much, but the days that the Berlin Wall were getting torn down, I was glued to the news.
I am following this WT upheaval quite a bit too. It's a frenzy! Watch at 2:@:27

Effect on youths of Bethel and construction cuts
by Tornintwo ini know quite a few youths (late teens to early twenties) who have the goal of full time service, as bethelites or international construction, so they're doing the required slog of pioneering in order to achieve this goal.
this is a goal which has been excitedly set out for them the last few years or so at assemblies etc.
now they see the cuts, surely they are going to be discouraged and disillusioned.

Better for a lying bubble burst when you are young! Hopefully with these JW parents that they can get second thoughts for their youth and direct their youth into reality of schooling and more education. -

More help needed at Warwitch
by DwainBowman inwell when they first started the warwitch project, only the cream of the crop were allowed to go.
they read a letter this week in my area, inviting all brothers in good standing, to go to a special meeting for anyone with building experience.
they must be desperate, to allow the low life plain everyday sheeple's to volunteer!.

They admitted they didn't want to "wait on Jehovah" about getting & moving into this property. -

Isn't it law now-a-days that properties have to pre-checked or examined for this before sale?
Also, why is the WT rushing in on this to move in, only to have to tear apart, possible evacuate in process thru all this. If they believe it's contaminated, who would want to move in themselves and get others possibly contaminated?

Are Circuit Overseers next?
by Londo111 inlast year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?
of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.
they would have to care for their own expenses.

Good idea!! A "composite" Circuit Overseer Body! Like the Governing Body, a "composite." Seven would be plenty for a local Circuit Overseer Body, more if they need "helpers."
It used to be an average of 20 congregations per circuit. That's about 5,770 Circuit Overseers worldwide possibly now . Would save the circuits a lot of money maybe? Maybe not, these would soon be getting "green handshakes" too.

thx wifi,,, I enjoy your updates! The one picture indicates a lot of happiness!! Back in the 70's, Bethelites were held captive to their 4-year vow to Bethel. Most would have been happy to leave sooner., . -

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.
