There will be changes in how abuse cases are handled. The sad point is that the rank and file will praise the GB for the changes not realizing that it was not at the direction of the holy spirit but due to the ARC.

GEOFFREY JACKSON THE PERSONABLE FACE OF JW.ORG...BUT IT AIN'T OVER YET BUDDY
by steve2 insince geoffrey jackson's appearance before the australian royal commission on friday there has for some been an expressed feeling of anticlimax.
it is as though he was given too much latitude to preach, to claim ignorance and to skirt questions.
more to the point, as much as i myself thought i would never have expected to say this, gj actually came across as likeable and - don't throttle me please!

Why don't they just lie about the numbers?
by Sour Grapes inwhy doesn't the wtbts just lie and increase the published amount of people who attend the memorial?
who would know the difference?
the same with the amount munching on the crackers and sipping the wine.

The same with the amount munching on the crackers and sipping the wine. Why show an increase which goes against what I have been taught my entire life. Who would know if they showed a small decline each year? If they would just decrease the amount by 100 per year they could have gone on for over 80 years and all of the old timers would have been dead. Perhaps they are showing increasing numbers for the anointed to change a doctrine in a couple of more years.

We are not thinking folks. What is the best way to get JW's to check out the events in Australia.
by James Mixon intell our jw family members, door knockers, and stand sitters that you were very impressed.
by the branch overseer and other elders in australia, they gave a fine witness.. so what will happen, they will tell their friends the brothers in australia gave a fine.
witness.

Great idea. Mention the fine witness that the elders gave at the RC and JW's will look at the information. They may be a little surprised at the results and may keep watching until they see the "fine witness." -

WARWICK UPDATE
Safety
Safety is a 'culture'! More precision is involved in the makings of an accident than for things to go right! As a construction organization, we qualify as one of the top 400 construction companies in the country!
UPDATE
We are at the very peak of activity & personnel right now with 3800 workers! 2 Cor 4:8. This pace is unsustainable for an indefinite period of time! From here things will begin to taper off. During August the work by all major outside contractors will be finished. In September the # of Volunteer Workers needed will begin to decline.
Department Reports: Volunteer Desk
Staff: 33 full time workers & 35 part time & remote volunteers
Workers: We keep track of 16,000+ workers plus 7688 RBC/Local Volunteers for a grand total of 23,500!
This week: 1420 - Temporary & Regular Bethelites; 1013 – 3 month workers; 793 - CG workers; 239 - Short Term
Volunteers, 343 Commuter’s & 94 Remote Volunteers = 3902 plus 787 local & RBC weekend support workers
Challenges: 1) Keeping track of workers! Wallkill typically has 50 Temp Workers each week. Warwick has 1000! 2) Finding workers with 3 mo. availability is difficult. Reminds us of a Gilead Graduation comment: "You need to put your pen down & let Jehovah write the script!" Decisive action to simplify your life is needed. 3) Finding willing single brothers; 4) Specific skills at different phases of the project, right now: commercial window installers, those who do wall vinyl, plasters & pipe fitters
Transportation
Staff: 140 total - 25 are Regular & Temp Bethelites, 60 Sprinter drivers, 32 RBC/LDC drivers & 16 local friends who use their personal vehicles!
Each day we are moving the # of people equal to the size of Wallkill plus 700 for a total of about 2912 workers EACH morning & evening! We have a fleet of 151 vehicles = 92 sprinters, 24 mini-vans & 35 busses.
Hotels are housing workers from Newark NJ to Fishkill & Middletown NY! Each weekend to pickup & return brothers to the airport we drive an average of 6300 miles! That is like driving to South America!
Food
Staff: 106 Regular & Temporary Bethelites plus commuters
We maintain 2.5 kitchens & 8 dining rooms between both Tuxedo & Warwick. Weekly 17,500 sandwiches & wraps are made & 4250# of deli meat is used; Daily 8500 eggs go in a scrambled egg breakfast & 225 gals of coffee is consumed daily; a pancake breakfast requires: 300# flour to make 100 gal of batter for 5700 pancakes!
We operate 24 hr /day: Breakfast cooks arrive at 2:30 am, Waiters at 5:30 am, Kitchen crew 8 am. A 2nd shift works from 3 pm to 12 pm 5 days/wk & there is a shift working from 4 pm to 3 am 4 days/wk.
Procurement
Staff: 33 workers, 20 at the Montgomery Warehouse, 10 process requisitions & 3 now with demobilization. Monthly: 8-10,000 requisitions are received; Weekly: 175 truckloads of materials are handled; Daily: 10-12 trucks deliver material between Montgomery & Warwick & 800 pallet go to Warwick weekly.
Demobilization: We will need to resell the vehicles, tools & equipment used here! A HUGE job! Approval has been given to produce a commercial to market the equipment for sale (i.e. Batch Plant) This is on the web & also ads placed in trade journals. EVERY piece of equipment on the site will have to be resold for maximum $ value to make best use of dedicated funds! This includes 150,000 different tools & 4-500 pieces of equipment! -

Have you ever noticed that know one uses first names at the KH? It is how are you Brother Jones? How are you Sister Smith? Do you want to go in service Brother Clark? It is our turn to clean the Hall Sister Barber.
Why don't JW's use first names when greeting or talking to one another at the KH?
