  Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

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

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  No KH construction or renovations at all???

  If that is the case, that is going to be a massive gunshot wound right into the foot.

  They raid every local congo bank account, ask for a monthly KH build donation (never-ending, don't forget that), promise to take care of the properties in return, then DO NOTHING for years, or longer??

  I don't give many JWs credit for adding 2+2, but something like this is really putting their future at risk. People are gonna actually start saying "WTF is going on here??"

  My thoughts re Pope Francis

  by ctrwtf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so today i'm watching cbs news coverage of the popes visit to america.

  first, let me say i'm not religious at all at this point in my life.

  still a few things stood out to me about the news coverage of his visit.. first thing i wondered was if a gb member happened to garnish this much press (unlikely) what would his message be?

  He might be a great guy in person, but I really don't care.

  As long as he presides over an organization promoting invisibly sky friends, and also one that promotes backwards teachings about human sexuality - I consider him an enemy of progress.

  Sigh, so many misled souls on this thread. The one and only true God, who is both invisible, and pink at the same time.

  You reference the Spanish version of NWT, are you in a Spanish congo? Makes me even more angry if so as to the education angle.

  Good to know Abraham had family worship. These idiots will make up anything that will further their agenda.

  Your assignment , to be an Guardian Angel.

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  your assignment to watch over brother xxx for the next 80 years.

  some guardian angels are assigned to protect and guide a particular person, group, kingdom or country.

  the assignment to watch over one person sounds boring, is it a 24 hour thing.. what happen when his assigned person get into a altercation with another person assigned by another angel, do they make bets who will win.

  Good questions, never thought about it from that angle.

  Angels, demons, God, Satan...it all smells like BS the more you think about it.

  what do you really believe

  by Sabin in

  2. scandals

  what do you really believe the percentage is for jw who are truly ignorant of what is going on behind closed doors of the w.t.

  as opposed to those who actually know something is wrong & yet go along with it for whatever reason?

  i have been asked for coffee by what i can only describe as one of the sweetest persons i have ever known & i cant even begin to conceive that she knows what is happening with the child abuse cases but then how do i know?

  Everybody loves Raymond

  a while ago the user vinman started a forum thread called: "ray franz was an idiot".

  the reaction to it was quite negative but i have to admit that the title of that thread was intriguing to me.

  by nature i am an iconoclast.

  I think he took the stuff with him because basically it was his shit, you know, when you pack up and move you take your shit with you.

  They didn't move on him right after he moved away, they had to find something to "get him" on, and they even had to change the DA doctrine just to get him on that.

  Obviously the GB 1.0 brain trust was about as smart as the current clown show. They don't have any plan, they are reactive instead of proactive in all facets of how they operate. Anyone with a few brain cells that can be rubbed together can make them look like the clowns they really are, and Ray Franz did it well.

  "an intellectual approach to the truth will not lead to everlasting life"....

  Makes you wonder why the desert God even gave us brains. If all he wants is a bunch of robots he surely could have left out the "thinking" portion of the brain.

  Also really makes you wonder what kind of quality of life will exist in the supposed "paradise" earth.
