millie210, is that on jwtalk?
I don't have an account anymore, but usually you can the the straight news there, along with kool aid comments galore.
so two big changes in the org were announced in the most recent agm.. local needs part is replaced by "how do you know the truth" where all members will tell their experience (oh what fun).
basic pioneer role 10 only hours a month required (see, jehovah lightens our load, therefore he loves only us)!.
it seems like they have really turned up the heat here.

so it's rumored started by one member that there is a new pioneer rank called basic pioneer, announced at annual meeting.
can anyone verify this is true?
everything else presented at the meeting has been verified except this.
Would like confirmation as well.
If so, I can really see the pressure mounting on the poor rank and file. Instead of turning in their 4-8 hours per month, there will be mounting pressure to get the 10. Congos will be compared against each other, with those with less than 70-80% of basic pioneers being considered 'weak'.
And of course no appointed man would ever fall below 'basic pioneer' status, because that's nearly an apostate!
Fukkin borg, always dreaming up new and inventive ways to steal peoples' time.
Well of course its a business.
But as to GET OVER IT, most businesses don't have their customers under mind control. You can switch products and your family won't shun you for doing so, even if they really love Coca Cola or Budweiser!
armageddon is happening oh my god!!!
my tv is crashing and flashing its about to quit, i should have known the great tribulation started a few months ago when the tv started acting up.
all the warning signs and yet i didn't notice....woe is me and my gnashing of my teeth, i may miss the game on tv tonight, its so much worse than revelations said it would be.
Cable/satellite/TV outage when good NFL games are coming on is Armageddon!
i was at my friend's volleyball game when i looked down at my clock on my cell phone and realized its been 100 years since jesus starting ruling from the heavens and satan was casted down to earth.
wasnt it october 1st 1914 when jesus decided to kick satan out of the heavens?.
.
Actually it was today.
So 100 years of Jesus sittin' around up there doing jack squat.
i met a jw this past saturday, he was doing street witnessing, he told me that the end was coming.
i asked him when that is going to happen, and he told me that 2014 will be 100 years since satan was dismissed from heaven.
he told me that it would'nt make sense for god to let more than 100 years "pass before ending this world".. .
bttt
the week of september 15, 2014 was the congregations cos visit.
the midweek meeting was on tuesday, a very general bland talk was given by the co. in the past we would have had the elders & servants meeting on thursday night, and the other congregation meeting on friday.
as you know the friday meeting is no more.
I wonder if the CO has access to the pedo database maintained by WT. One would hope that there would be at least one flimsy layer of protection for the rank and file and their children.
Otherwise, COs are going to find their asses in court within the next decade.
to me its a great example of a totalitarian government's ability to manage information and keep us in the dark; .
all right it was a long time ago.
should we just forget about it?.
Always love the threads with zero evidence for the claim being made.
i would just like to know why people are always treated like you have to be depressed or have some type of serious mental issue if you try to leave?
you cant just leave because its not for you?.
.
Cults set things up in advance so that there is no valid reason to leave!
By doing this, they scare the sheep into staying in the fold, no matter how abusive things get. Those who leave either want to go have crazy gay midget sex, or as you mention have mental problems.
Either way, dissent is muffled and many never, ever consider leaving the fold.
from an email i received of a conversation had with people from patterson:.
it seems that the wts legal dept.
has been working with the fb [facebook] legal dept for about a year and also with youtube whoever they are, to enforce transparency.
FB has been enforcing real identity for some time, mainly to protect their advertising revenue.
YouTube is owned by Google, and as we can tell you can use any user name that you want.
The idea that they want elduhs trolling throught FB accounts reviewing apostate information is laughable, the first and most dangerous problem is that they will start to think! Can the WT afford to have 20-30% of their unpaid management team quit? No way.
