Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects

by James Jack in

a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

How long will these workers receive $600?

Rumor Confirmed!: Bethel Downsize First Hand

by freemindfade in

i just texted a very good remote worker friend, said i heard that there is a reduction in force coming at bethel and i hoped he wouldn't be affected.

.

he said its true, its not a rumor.

Thanks freemind,

I appreciate the info. This is all about something...the GB sending a divided message on who speaks for God these days (is it them? Is it collective? Is it presumptive? etc) Anthony Morris looking so whipped in his talk in the latest video....

I wish we knew what is behind this but one thing is for sure..it is all related.

Magnum14 minutes agoThanks for the confirmation. I ask again: "What's going on?

.I agree!

i was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....

i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..

so i texted her back immediately with fu..

Good news/bad news but really good news all because of a wonderful board member

this last week i was e-mailed that my aunt had died.

she was 95 years old and had a long a good life with a loving family around her.

the reason this is more good news than bad is because due to the help of a member on this board i was able to reconnect with her.

I am so happy for you that you got to have that precious time with your loved one Still Totally.

And I agree with you, LoisLane is a wonderful person and a gem on this forum!

How the times have changed

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/catholic-church-missing-billions-124522003.html.

catholic churches across the country have high hopes that his (the pope's) stopover will reinvigorate and offer fresh inspiration and spiritual guidance to their congregations.

but when it comes to the church's approach to receiving donations, its failure to adapt to easy online and mobile payment options means it is missing out on billions of dollars and suffering a "30-year dramatic downward slide," experts warn.

Well the JWs dont share the donation problem then I guess?

They have ATMs at assemblies, online donations and videos showing happy people doing online donating - so they must be rolling in the money!

I find this video extremely encouraging.

He is usually so full of attitude and this one is very different.

He looks whipped or angry or short on patience? Not sure what I am seeing exactly but I know it isnt good! (and I like that)

wifibandit4 hours agoNever discount the possibility of some unknown, internal power struggle between the GB and their underlings. Maybe a branch committee is giving "The Slave" some push-back? WHO Knows?!

Very true.

Something sure has him upset. He looks tired, stressed and his delivery is very curt and yet he seems put upon all at the same time.

Not happy in the perfect God appointed life he is leading - that much shows.

wifibandit13 minutes agoI don't know when it was recorded. It was just posted to the Broadcasting site

So it IS fresh off the press!

This means that more than likely all the references are about the recent developments.

Good to know WifiBandit. Thank you!
