Gilead School Changes to be read to all Congregations

by bnybyt in

as of this week, and to be read from a letter to all congregations to coincide with the part on wt education at the service meeting, the announcement will be made that the gilead school will no longer be open to pioneer couples, rather it will become a specialized training school for special pioneers, traveling overseers and their wives, and those the governing body deems worthy of attending.

the gilead school has, since it's beginning, always been held in high esteem by the r&f, and seen as a summit to reach for service minded young jw couples.. could the recent dissentions by 2 gilead graduates who are actively promoting apostate ideas be influencing changes at how the gb sees the role of the gilead school and felt the need to shine this noo-light on its "educational" program?.

seems like another cemented pillar of the wt religion is crumbling as the new gb 2.0 tries to keep the ceiling from coming down.. maybe kool-aid man can devote a conference call to this subject ;-) .

They don't need Gilead for pioneer couples anymore because they have set up another "special" "school" for couples. I am thinking "graduates" of that school, unlike Gilead missionaries, will not be a financial burden on the Borg because they won't be missionaries. They'll just be told where to go live and left pretty much on their own to earn their own living. (I'm speculating and would like to see some evidence - BorgLit about both the Gilead changes and the couples school.)

Sorry I haven't gotten caught up on the youtubes. It is a major pain to convert the ustream shows into 10-minute youtube segments, and I give priority to the .mp3 archive. I'll get caught up as I can. Thanks for your patience.

BTW, my wife and daughter are practically obsessed with the paranormal. Any time something isn't where they left it they give everyone else the third degree to find out whether we moved it or whether it may have been moved by ghosts.

"Did you close the bathroom door last night?"

"How the hell should I remember that?"

"I KNOW I left it ajar but this morning when I got up it was closed. Did you close it?"

"I told you, I don't remember. I probably closed it after I went to the bathroom, yeah."

"If you didn't I think a ghost did."

"Oh Jesus Christ. *facepalm*"

I go through something like that several times a week. Could be something fell off a shelf, a book that was upright is now laying flat, iPod was on this table and now it's on that one, a shadow moved across the room. The answer is always spirits. It's never gravity, you moved your ipod and forgot, a car drove by and its lights and the bushes outside cast a shadow, no. It's spirits.
