  Investment departments in Bethel

  by Mikejw in

  2. scandals

  i was a bethelite in london for many years then got reassigned to the field and then went on brd from the start of chelmsford right upto covid.. during my years at the branch i was sometimes asked to be on a team who went to homes donated to the branch when some older one died.. this happenes an awful lot, everything is left to the branch in the will.

  the unbelieving family is furious they didn’t get left anything and sometimes they tried to get their elderly relatives possessions and there was a legal battle .

  but in the end a team of us would go and empty the property and another team would clean it up and put it on the market to sell it for the worldwide work.. all the possessions were sorted into trash or possibly valuable .

  I knew of a widowed sister who left her house to the congregation as she had no children or relatives. The congregation had lots of pioneers and her idea was that it could be used as a "pioneer house" where they could live and just pay a nominal amount to cover outgoings and maintenance.

  Needless to say the WT Society stopped that idea in its tracks and ordered the congregation to sell the house and forward the money to Bethel. Of course they did as instructed but there was a lot of bad feeling among the pioneers.

  Furthermore, donations are probably low,

  So true. Our monthly donations to the WT are a fraction of pre-Covid days. There are a lot of older ones who are not into internet banking so other than handing an elder a donation when on his rounds they don't drop money into the box every meeting as they did.

  Is burying someone on a golf course tacky?

  by GabeAthouse in

  trump's first wife and mother of his children died recently.

  they had her buried on his golf course.

  do you think this is tacky or a savvy business move since it'll now get them some tax breaks as a cemetery?.

  Is it any different from the WT "launchpad"?

  I am with POnice. It's just bad writing and bad proofreading.

  So much for everything being checked 60 odd times before release!

  2. entertainment

  in the us, our mega millions lottery jackpot has reached over 1billion dollars!

  what would you do if you won?

  i think i’d run public service announcements on television, alerting people of the dangers of the wt cult, among other things.

  A friend of mine once told me that if he won the lottery he would split the money into two halves.

  One half he would spend on booze, cars and loose women.

  The other half he would just fritter away.

  We still don't have one in English yet. That's REAL English, as used by the British, not the US version that contributes to the lack of spelling ability of British JW's.

  I want to know what that ominous looking cylindrical metal thing with glowing lights is.

  A model of the Tabernacle with molten sea and altar etc.?

  They removed it, and recently put in it's place a few flat plaques of dead ones around there.

  It would be interesting to see some photographs of what they have done.
