This is all sounding like the way things go when someone has embezzled a lot of money from up top.
If that has occurred and has just been discovered, this would all be the logical fall out one would expect to see.
Just sayin
heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.
apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.
so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

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.
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..
The little sparrow has soared with the eagles.
Well played sparrow!
Authenticity never lets us down.
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!

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!
hello my new found friends, i wanted to share my excitement with you all.
i got my new book today, hurray!
combating cult mind control, (steven hassan) it`s the new 25th addition & i`ve been waiting weeks for it to arrive.
OMG that is so funny that you would mention this. We were talking here today about chimps and group behavior and the JWs.
Pretty cool!
I hope you enjoy your book - that is exciting!

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.
