  Template to dump Special Pioneers

  by avaddohn94 in

  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  10) Here’s the Good News, you’ve been reassigned to your Home congregation, and you have a lesser hour requirement.

  9) Here’s the bad news, There is no more allowance for you.

  8) Brother & Sister, you’re the 8th team to arrive at your assignment. Sorry to say, you’ve been eliminated from the Amazing Race

  7) The Tribe has spoken, bring us your torch.

  6) Sorry we don’t believe in Immunity Idols.

  5) Sorry, you’ve been evicted from the Big Brother (GB) house

  4) Go home, but don’t go materialistic on us now.

  3) Surely there must be some aged relative that you could be freeloading

  2) Special is a state of mind.

  1) Your momma always said you were Special. Time to go home and realize what that means

  The updated Organized book

  the updated organized to do our will book is now up.

  i just skimmed through it very quickly and i think they are more lenient on reporting time now (p. 76):.

  there are essential activities for which time is not counted, such as getting ready for field service, attending themeeting for field service, running errands, and so forth.

  Yes, I read that too, Rich. I also read that both parents are allowed to each count 1 hr for FS during Family worship with unbaptized kids. Before only one parent was allowed to do this

  Remember when you could wear casual clothes to the congregation book study?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  i would get home from work,eat dinner,shower and put on jeans,a shirt and gym shoes to the book study.

  then,one day a letter was read where men would need to wear a suit and tie and the woman would have to wear dresses.

  it was stated in a letter that the change was due to, '' giving a better witness to anyone who would watch us walking into our local congregation or a neighbor's house.''.

  In the East of Canada in the early 70's we dressed up, but the West of Canada, in BC they wore jeans, depending on the various cong's. In the 90's I started wearing a nice sweater with my shirt and tie, and my BS became casual. Then a young Elder moved in and complained. He brought it up at an Elders meeting, but he didn't win the argument. We cheated, we wore suit coats over our sweaters, and then took the suitcoat off and sat there with our sweaters. It pissed him off.

  the december kingdom ministry (km) is online.

  .

  no schedule for the first week in january 2016 - as in previous december kms.. so another evidence, that beginning with january 2016 the org will change the mid-week-meeting.. -----> download link: http://download.jw.org/files/media_publickm/72/km_e_201512.pdf.

  just heard from a reliable source that some at the canadian branch have received their lay-off notices under their doors at bethel.

  don't know what the letter looks like.

  probably something like, " the tribe has spoken, bring us your torches"

  Someone should warn the Canadian Branch to seal their doors so that no paper gets through. But, that would only make them receive their notices through an alternate source like laundry delivery
