  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  Thank you Absalom.

  The Searcher - hope you like haggis, lol. 6-8 months seems like a reasonable timeframe though.

  If they are doing this to many special pioneers worldwide, this shows to me they need to fix their cash flow problem NOW.

  At first I asked, "Why wouldn't they sell more property before resorting to something like this"? Then it came to my attention, they might not be able to wait until the property is sold...

  Either that or they're just a$$es...

  Omfg, this is absolutely crazy. Even I didn't think they were doing that bad financially to do something like this. Either A) they ARE doing that bad financial, or; B) they are just that evil...

  I'm completely speechless... Is this definitely legit?

  i don't know if this is already posted so sorry people if it is.

  cedars site has had a request to take down the leaked letter regarding changes to the theocratic ministry school and other issues.. the reason given by wt is that it is a "copyright" issue.

  of course this validates the letters authenticity even more.. have a good day or night people.

  I don't remember the letter talking about the consolidation of Kingdom Halls. I'd be surprised if they are going full force with that...

  they have been changing directions for a while now, and for whatever reasons, what is happening now is a part of that change!

  I agree with The Searcher. They still have, I believe, 16 properties in Brooklyn that can be sold and probably a lot of other properties without batting an eyelash. Probably starting with printing facilities now that they aren't doing as much print work. Aren't the selling the UK branch and doing the print out of Germany?

  Once it gets down to consolidating Kingdom Halls everywhere, that's a good sign, "the end" of them is right around the corner.

  We probably have a ways to go before that happens though.

  I was wondering if they were going to resume construction next year when they recieved the 250 million from property sales.

  But, wouldn't that be weird? Because they just said they were stopping it to focus on the preaching in this, "time of the end"...

  Makes me think that that money is already used up. Otherwise, why take such a hard stance on stopping the construction to focus on preaching just to turn around a few months later and resume it? Especially where it's the property that's going to make them money...

  Seems like they *can't* continue it...

  I don't agree with this at all. Of course they counted the costs of construction. Something happened along the way that made them have to put a sudden halt on this. Remember, this issue happen AFTER they received 500 million in sales from property. That is VERY, VERY telling.

  Also, a lot has changed since 2001. Many, many more people are using the internet, for example, which has been probably the greatest demise for the JWs.

  Even Lett said that more money was going out then was coming in.

  Yes, they still have a ton of property that will keep them going for sometime. How much time that will buy them I don't have an opinion on yet.
