Bethel Layoffs

by cantleave in

could those who know about these lay offs give some clear evidence of what has happened, when, to who, any experiences of people effected and to what extent?.

i want to talk to a really good friend about the situation.

he is a young guy who feels he should be doing more for the organisation, and is thinking about giving up a very good career to make a more of his career in the "truth".

It is from the yearbook's report that states: "Worldwide, a total of xx,xxx ordained ministers staff the branch facilities."

Since Partakers is up 8.7% and Publishers is up only 3.2% they cannot claim these are some confused newly converted.

WTS publication: Mankind's Search for God

by Gorbatchov in

friends,.

at the end of the 80's the wts published "mankind's search for god", about the global mainstream religion's.. what's your opinion about this publication?.

i think it was written for use on the weekly bookstudy, there were questions for all paragraphs.. after the publication it was never used at the bookstudy, and it was only rarely used in the congregation.. .
