EndofMysteries, I suppose full online would work if JWs worldwide had Internet service and printers. I guess it could be done at KH if they budget for ink cartridges and paper.

Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"
by sparrowdown inmy thoughts are.
1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.
i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

Cost cutting. One less meeting = less electricity consumption. Whenever the WTBTS cuts something, it's about money not people. -

Calm Down Everybody, We Will Know Soon Enough
by OnTheWayOut inseriously, they will change the midweek meeting ever so slightly.
it is just repackaging of the same old stuff.seriously, we don't know if construction is halted for days, weeks, months, forever, or what.. we don't know if new kingdom halls will still go up, old kingdom halls will be closed and sold.
they have laid off bethelites before and they will lay them off some more.

Hmmm. The reason for all the recent 'OBEY us without question' articles is starting to make sense. I smell some drastic changes coming ... -

E-Mail, Just recived. About Bethell adjustments.
by DwainBowman ini just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.
here is the email: .
---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

The horror of no waiters! Lol! Washing your own clothes, cleaning your own room, and it sounds like they'll be making their own breakfast too. Then some will be getting the boot to either return to mommy and daddy or go and get a menial job. No more special pioneers.
Cost cutting. Once they get around to booting missionaries, they'll probably sell the branch offices. They'll just say the GT is at hand or some such.
What's sad is that my mom has a disaster prep bag put together but it isn't for a disaster. She has it in case she is "told to run". Run to where, who knows. She's up in years and I'm not sure where she'll be bugging off to without being able to refill her medications.

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!
by Slidin Fast inthe chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.
the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.
my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

Pope praises the Wild Beast (UN)

i just wonder how that statement will be taken in jw land.

Did their peacekeepers stop running away when bullets start flying about? Hope so. If not for the UN genocidal crimes and such committed by world leaders would not get investigated.
Not certain what the big deal is among JWs and the picture. Certainly they've seen the pope visit other world leaders and stand next to them. Dali Lama does it too. I guess it only matters if he stands around with a US President? I'm surprised WTBTS didn't lose its mind over John Paul popping over to the US 7 times ... cause, well, the number 7.

What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?
by Londo111 inthe culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.
whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?
im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

It's kinda like living in Nazi Germany where if you didn't eat fish on Friday a neighbor would rat you out. Then the gestapo would show up to your house and question your loyalty. -

Bikinis on a beach? Sucking chocolate? Haaaa! Weird how everything is about sex to some. Sounds like the Talibán cleric who said women shouldn't eat bananas or they may become aroused. Er no, your filthy minded arse shouldn't be near bananas, cleric fella. Leave the porn alone & go get another wife you freak.
As for me, some elders wives ran and told hubbies I disrespected them when I told them to shut up and stop making fun of the clothing of those of lesser means. Got called to the room. As I finished saying their wives need to shut up & stop tormenting the poorer "friends", two could only look at their shoes and the third whose wife wasn't involved was smiling like the Cheshire cat. Oh, and I specifically said, they aren't our boss. They can busy themselves bossing & aggravating you.
No. Further. Incident. Besides, they seriously thought I was crazy. No timidity, at all. fact, the following Sunday, the eldresses and their buddies all brought in clothing for anyone who may be of need. A clothing drive of sorts. 😆
Another incident where I got the speech. The literature MS kept telling me it was his birthday. So after a couple times of him saying it, I yelled "Happy Birthday!". Just then the PO was walking by and almost fell on the floor. He starts to give me the speech. Somewhere in the middle I stopped him, and let him know MS kept telling me it was his birthday, so there. Oh just stop, we're just having some fun. The MS was standing nearby and we burst out laughing. When I turned around to leave, I heard the PO say has everyone gone crazy!?

MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA: WE NEED MORE MONEY!
by avaddohn94 inthis topic was already discussed in the following thread: .
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/451530001/we-need-more-money-letter-sent-mexico-re-jw-broadcasting-may-2015.
if you don't want to go through the whole thing; basically it is about a letter that was sent by mexico's branch requiring the body of elders to modify the service meeting for this week (september 21) and the following (september 28) in order to watch (again) stephen lett's solicitation for money (may's broadcasting).. so, why a new thread?

Goodness! The poorest region in the Hemisphere where most people live on 2 dollars or less a day. In the middle of Cartel hell, gang hell, and seriously corrupt officials & police, people emigrating by the thousands a week to find work or escape roaming death squads ... and they should worry now about getting their few pesos and quetzales to Americans living in one of the most expensive US Cities to make pamphlets that will end up littering the streets or in a trash can? Great choose between food and pamphlets.
Que puta madre!
Since when is it biblical for the rich to solicit money from the poor and destitute?
