Lol. Isaiah books. I remember saying (before I woke up) it's a good thing those guys went to prison. Otherwise we wouldn't understand half the bible!

60Literature being discontinued, including Isaiah's Prophecy and Reasoning book
by Richard_I incongregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.
i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.
the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..

America - Do They Teach Science in North Carolina?
by cofty ini don't know whether to laugh or weep.
us town rejects solar panels amid fears they 'suck up all the energy from the sun'...... jane mann, a retired science teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing.
ms mann said she had seen areas near solar panels where plants are brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight.

Two Year Delay in Building New KHs - What Is the Real Impact?
by committeechairman inwhere are all these kingdom halls that were going to start being built?
the rbc arrangement was officially announced as an arrangement that was ending in the united states branch territory in a letter on january 24, 2014 (although this letter is no longer listed on jw.org).
this means that 23 months have passed since the announcement of the ldc taking over and "acceleration" of kingdom hall builds.. what has happened in the meantime with kh construction?

Don't assume that Bethel operates as a single cohesive unit. Likely, in 2013 someone convinced the GB that all of these volunteer RBCs were totally incompetent and a single, central kh building organization was what was needed. (A power grab)
That was implemented but the guy that grabbed for the power likely did not have the resources to organize and implement it quickly.
Fast forward to 2015 and someone in Accounting puts a worst case cash forecast together that scares the shit out of the GB and starts the current downsizing campaign.
Theres no one looking at the big picture. Just power grabs and reactionary behavior.

Hey Jeff,
God to "see" you back.
Another thing knorr and Franz had that the current crop dont- only 50 years since 1914! I think the march of time has made the "end is coming any day now" plea become very tired.
I also think that the video system is seriously backfiring. It used to be that only Bethelites got a front row view of what doddering, pedantic, sexist, confused folks the GB were. We all had stories about our favorite out of touch GB rant at morning worship. And yet they still had some mystique.
Now, the non-mysterious, foolish looking GB are on display for the whole world to see.

I remember that every year after the annual meeting, there was a swank "corporate members" party. Usually in the penthouse of the Sands building.
Maybe they are the "shareholders "
