  Did you know WTBTS applied for Holocaust compensation?

  by umbertoecho in

  did you know that the wtbts applied for these compensation funds?

  i had no idea and if this has already been addressed then so be it.

  i find it interesting due to the fact that so much is made of the jws being in camps during ww2 and nothing else is expressed about the other millions who died in these camps.

  I think the last sentence of the document states their intent after saying if it can or cannot be distributed to heirs by saying

  or if it can advance the work of education and remembrance, the money will have been well spent.

  They probably wanted to use it to finance their purple triangles angle..............
  

  maybe use it to maintain a kiosk in a lobby and pocket the rest?

  Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?

  by Naoscillator in

  so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.

  only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.

  he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

  That would be amusing to see what the U.S. branch did about it.

  Now that they let the flying monkeys (C.O.s) out of their bag to make these decisions how will they control the fallout?

  Morpheus called it.

  This wasnt in the U.S.?

  I thought what Morpheus stated is the gold standard for this world wide united brotherhood.

  Could it be a new standard born of a lack of men to serve in any capacity?

  I have always kept a low public profile. I understand the mentality.

  Words of wisdom. I am trying to do this myself.

  For the past while it seemed like the Org wanted to keep dividing the Halls. We were told locally that the criteria was 100-140 pubs/10 elders = divide.

  This was the C.O.s advice. They split our Hall but there was a lot of input by certain elders and their families and wanting to be with their friends so even though the numbers looked even the weight bearing members were not.

  Both Halls started out with 70 pubs, 5 elders, 7 pioneers.

  Now, one Hall is down to about 40 pubs and they have removed some elders and others have left supposedly to do other things where the need is "greater" rather than stick with that dead horse.

  The other Hall is dwindling more slowly but dwindling...it has the nit picky elders who are slowly driving folks away. There are probably less half the pioneers that there were before the split, 3 in one Hall and 4 in another.

  What would they "go after" you for?

  I realize this could be anything from something you actually did that was none of their business to something they have invented.

  Just curious what is in their minds and what they are saying to your mother.

  Just two weeks in our new home and the knock at the door happens!!

  just relaxing with my morning coffee enjoying looking at the pictures fipper shared of the camping trip when the dreaded knock came.

  of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them.

  " i almost just walked away from the door when i saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.. i opened the door and smiled and said jehovah's witnesses?

  From the letter:

  Could a congregation relocate to an auditorium with sufficient parking and seating?

  
  

  Sufficient parking and seating is a trying to cast a positive light on not enough people

  Is their writing getting more transparent or do I just see it now? Thiey are so obvious in the spin, trying to make it sound like a positive.

  What is really being said:

  Could a congregation that has shrunk relocate to another small congregation since there is obviously plenty of room for parking and seating?
