  Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick

  by sir82 in

  heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.

  apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.

  so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

  Anybody ever look at the plans for Warwick -- HUGE!!!! WHY??? Not needed...... Effem the US largest bar company operates a worldwide multibillion dollar empire from a small location... granted they do have production plants but nothing on the scale of the WT

  Who is going to produce all the books and mags if bethelties are leaving?? Who will feed the anointed? and their puppets, wash their clothes and clean the hallways and rooms and toilets?? Will this be outsourced?? and then the GB will ask for another $4.50 per head per congregation to support that expense..... that will be the fourth time I think along with all the monies they are garnering from the congregation accounts.......

  The new changes is a clear indication that we are one step closer to the end...

  that was today's topic over a group chat of my cong's young jbots.

  apparently the rumors are circulating everywhere i go, even people from the spanish congs are talking about it.

  what's really sad is that the majority of people are already seeing this as "clear" signs of the end coming.

  Y'all know that in the last several lessons we are being told to obey, even if something doesn't quite sound right, just obey the brothers...and the "anointed" ...... this was a set up for what was coming,,,, and that is all the layoffs and stop to the "building" work...my guess is after Jackson went on the stand at the Austrailian Royal Commission and when he gave some "ohoh" answers and I don't know answers and the child abuse was brought up and really looked into one particular case of the 1006 reported to the elders, things have changed big time! Thoughts now are the UK will be opening a Royal Commision themselves... where is that all heading... next stop Canada, then US???

  So what happens when the fields that are so white to harvest run dry... what happens then, does the society make more excuses and turn back to reaping more money to expense the unfinished building work in Walkill and Warwick- how many years will that take and in what condition will the unfinished buildings be -- there is building code that has to be adhered to.. maybe everything will have to be torn down by then

  a couple of months left to work on construction projects of kingdom halls in needy countries ago.

  they have been told it is over.that's how fast things are changing toward the end.we are on the verge of incredible things, so any change is not surprising.is our lord faithful and discreet slave receiving instructions regarding the next future?

  i keep seeing references to the 750 million in sales of the nyc properties and confusion around the apparent cash flow problems of the wtbt society.

  here's the reality.

  if they went, to a bank and asked for loans for the buildings here's what a bank would say, "absolutely.

  Calm Down Everybody, We Will Know Soon Enough

  seriously, they will change the midweek meeting ever so slightly.

  it is just repackaging of the same old stuff.seriously, we don't know if construction is halted for days, weeks, months, forever, or what.. we don't know if new kingdom halls will still go up, old kingdom halls will be closed and sold.

  they have laid off bethelites before and they will lay them off some more.

  In my estimation, when they say the building work is stopped., then the rumor will go around they ran out of money and then watch the coffers go higher

  Note: I should say "some pay as little as $23 a day based on income - some more others are subsidized by the provincial government and pay nothing - but the service is mostly good in these homes - there are a few iffy ones.....

  In Canada, the province where I live anyway, most hospitals are housing seniors who are sickly until they can get a bed in a nursing home. Up to 30% of the beds in the hospital in this province are taken by seniors waiting to leave the hospital to a nursing home. This impacts greatly on sick ones who need a bed but nothing will be done.., private companies have purchased land and built new nursing home and clients pay dearly per month there and they hire CCA or LPN ( a step down from RN) to assista with meals and personal hygiene however, in the provincial nursing homes, the rate paid per client is pro rated to their income - some pay $23 a day for their own room with meals and a nurse who drops in to see they are taking their meds and housework is done by staff. Not bad... its just the problem of getting that accommodation. Still more housing is needed for seniors.....

  Why did you choose Jehovahs Witnesses?

  i'm wondering why ones on this forum initially became jw's.

  if you were born in, why did you make it "your own"?

  if you became one later, what was your draw and driving force?

  Was in love with a JW - he had great parents, esp his mom, always loved the Bible so being stupid, believing I had found my security in God and husband, got baptized .... now he is gone (died) and I am stuck in a system without family as they have all passed and those "family" of in laws in the truth are like strangers, so much for a widow without a man on her arm and their brother !

  Jesus spoke of "THIS" generation -- no plurality, not "THESE" generations.....and if the rumor mill is smoking about two more younger GB being "Appointed" then they have no real date for end of system, it can go on for years and years...as long as they "KEEP APPOINTIN"..... Only Jesus description in Matthew tied in with Revelation can inidcate what we are living in/ through

  It really throws out their "new light" from the 2012 Annual Meeting notes - where they say there is no hole in the ceiling where the New light comes from but a bunch of guys sitting in a boardroom and the scriptures sitting in file drawers just waiting to be tied in with so called current events as they unfold -- no great spiritual revelation for these guys, They said back in 07 QTR they are nothing special and that those who study the Bible can have as much holy spirit as they do.... makes sense to me, but then the circular reasoning goes into effect in the WT that makes them special again.... prophets my a........
