That's the scam... Buy 2 large screen tvs - send the old one to a place in Africa -- I wont name it in case this hall is the only one sending it there... the new set up will cost several thousand dollars.

If You Dont Disassociate Yourself, Are you Still Counted in Average Publishers on Annual Report?
by truthlover infor all the newbies and angry ones of the forum and other forums, is it beneficial to show your stand to indicate that numbers are dropping in the org rather than increasing?
this is to those who are in a position to do so.
i know many cannot due to family members in the org.

Or is it that if you do not report service for 3 months or more??
Just wondering..

Relatives who work in Warwick are visiting
by cappytan inso i have some relatives who work in warwick visiting us this week.
the visit has been largely drama free.
they came between meeting days, so the subject of going to the meetings never came up.. however, they have been talking about the "downsizing.".

When 75 came and went, we decided its time to start putting funds away for our later years, we got two good jobs with pension plans and had xtra monies placed in the plan over and above what was being deducted.
I, at that, time was the driving force behind this as my mate had been brought up in the truth and saw no need to do this.. so here we are, 40 years later......
Its so sad, that using God to fund their real estate and publishing empire, surely He has to be angry....

Sorry Cappytan but it is the way you said it--- "he says............ and I just took it as though your relatives was the one indicating the message. You did not mention the WTS in your message. All you say was "they need to..." from your relative.
It's good they are empathetic - we have some bethelites coming here and they have nothing and are in their 60's....
Sorry again

My dilemma
by Saltheart Foamfollower ini have a bit of a dilemma that i would welcome advice on from the forum.. a brother in my congregation is giving evidence of having woken up - his comments and talks are usually slanted towards topics discussed here.
he is a former elder and is part of a group of other former elders and ministerial servants who i regularly overhear using terms i would expect to hear from ones knowing ttat.
he is a quite an effective teacher and will probably influence some.. however, in the past he has caused lots of problems for myself and others who i like (including another poster to this site who i have identified) and continues to be someone who i dislike intensely on a personal level.. his comments have been noticed by the body of elders and he is being watched.

Of course they are watching him ... any out of line speech or indication is a red light..... happens all the time with those who are trending out ..... there have been several on the forum who have given talks trying to wake people up, then left themselves, so bide your time... keep a low profile... in passing, you can say enjoyed your talk.. but don't push further than that and if you are questioned, make up an easy answer.... -

Don't know, but it seems the seats are getting fuller at the hall -- granted we have had 4 pioneers move in, but those who were always missing at meetings seem to be wandering back most of the time now. No new ones with one exception.

He used the term "dead weight" - those who have given their lives to the work!!! What a terrible description from one who is to be so loving and kind.
Glean all the information you can... interesting

Local Needs part given after Ministerial Servant left the organization
by cappytan inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbb8rt2bem8.
some crazy cult language in this talk.. some highlights:.
18:15 - obey.

Local needs last night was the video on the www and the special pioneers and the hall building -- and requesting again more money to contribute to the www..
No mention of the downsizing or the fact the SP are all going to the field now, especially the older ones... looks like they don't want the medical costs involved with those getting up there, but are still requesting the younger ones to come to bethel... joke!

Peer presure to use Ipad
by Gorbatchov inearlier this season i advised my retired father to ignore the use of a tablet during his kingdom hall congregational visits.
his response was hopefull, but between the lines i could hear he had no choice.. yesterday he showed me his new 600 euro 64 gb ipad air 2. he had no clue what he has to do with it, he told me one of the elders will install the jw.org apps.. so, i feel he had to deal with presure to buy this ipad and i think he is not the only one.. do you recognize this?.
gorby.

I did not have to buy an Ipad -- there are a lot of good units out there, I originally had an Asus -- but now I went to Walmart and got a Hipstreet for $115.00 and it works great - 2 year warranty-- can download anything and its 32 gb - you can get a 64 gb but with a 32 that is all you need. Look around -- no need to go high priced, after all they are electronics and can quit anytime...
The Hipstreet is smooth, faster than the Asus -- has 5.0 and is a quad 4
