83,000 theocratic facilites?
by average joe ina bethelite was telling me that there are 83,000 theocratic facilities world wide.
he compared that to 35,000 mcdonalds and 21,000 starbucks roughly to show the size of the theocratic organization.
i am not sure where the 83,000 comes from what would he be counting?

You take every Bethelite serious. The everage knows as much as an everage publisher, he probably works harder that's all. -

The Captive Mind of a former bethalite.
by The Rebel ini see years of acute economic crisis ahead for the w.t.
this is evident with letting go of " volunteer" bethalites throughout the world.
but my thread is on the consequences to the individual, and the organisation of letting " volunteer" bethalites go.. so what happens to the captive mind of the former bethalite when they are let go from bethel?

Don't expect to much from the ex-bethelites. There are few with theocratic knowledge and few are spiritual, a lot of them are at branches and at HQ just for image, to please family or any other convenient reason. I was surprised by the unspritual conversations we had when I arrived. Most chats were about allowance, better rooms, closer congregations etc. That and the fact that the higher rank brothers are not being dismissed.

At least they are in their own country ( most of them)... We had to leave (missionary-service) a tropical country and return to northern Europe in december, with no money nor a home.
Lo que no te mata, engorda...They will get over it and will come out
stronger...I loved my new life after a few months.. Money to spend and freedom. Left my privilege as an elder after a year or so arriving here and left the whole BS, including wife and everything.

The whole flood story is a fairytale.
All the mountains were flooded. So how did they breath all that time on top of the mount Everest?

About 'Regular' Pioneers
by Gayle innow that district overseers have been deleted, now that bethelites are being devalued and increasingly dismissed, now that special pioneers are being deleted in u.s., and maybe elsewhere gradually.
who would have ever thought?.
yet, now what is the value to be a regular pioneer to the org?

No value at all, unless you are an elder willing to move from time to time. -

Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter
by James Jack injust got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.
they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

They will get over it, just like we did out of missionary-service.
The thing to do is forget full-time service rightaway and concentrate on getting a reallife and dollars. That's what helped me out.
