Revolt Brewing At Headquarter and Different Branches and The Governing Body Is Losing Credibility Among It's Staff

by Brokeback Watchtower in

in my mind i see this as a very real situation developing rapidly world wide as these child molestation pay out become public knowledge and can no longer be denied or kept secret from the r&f.

pretty soon the governing body will be the but of many jokes at headquarters and abroad.

they are being caught red handed while robbing the cookie jar.

Pope praises the Wild Beast (UN)

by Quarterback in

the pope stated at his un address that, "if it wasn't for the un's work on the world's conflicts, the world would be alot worse".

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

millie210

So which is worse? For the Pope to praise the wild beast OR for the Org to secretly join up with it?

Potato, potahto - tomato, tomahto......

BkuesBrother, your post reminded me of something...

wasnt one of the selling points about the "teach" book that it was already a somplified teaching aid for the public?

I had forgotten about that. It was supposed to be easier to teach quickly from and pre -empted the "Live Forever" book,

So now they have a simplified version of the simple book?

Good grief!

From the letter:

When the scheduled weekly Bible reading begins a new Bible book, a brief video introducing the book will be shown at the start of this part.

Who mentioned a while back that they are going to start controlling more and more of the meeting from on high rather than in local hands?

What a beautifully subtle start to that.

Are you joking? That is legit? Some are/were really doing this and it was accepted by authorities?

Oh very legit. Some use it on their transcripts they submit to the authorities on their state that oversee homeschooling.

They show the "text book" used and the class assignments and grades etc.

Nice deal for the mom because she gets to show she is really seeking out opportunities for her home schooled child.

Older students get a credit in public speaking from being on the school in some cases.

Very much a "thing" among homeschooling JWs

All the home school moms that counted the Ministry School as part of their curriculum are going to be bummed about this.

Impression of Leaked Letter Regarding Annual Meeting

by freemindfade in

the letter that watchtower free put up was very interesting.

here is my impression.. the watchtower is becoming more and more geared towards idiots.

the midweek meeting has a stupid name, and the parts sound equally dumb.

Can anyone think of a financial gain in recruiting lower IQ members?

I am serious...is there a government program that funds teaching classes for this?

I am looking at what possible gain could be in this for the Org.

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick

by sir82 in

jw
friends

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.

Take two

A less inflammatory or dramatic hypothesis on current developments would be:

A couple years ago we heard a rumor of infighting on the writing committee - some mentioned a walk out occurred. As far as I know this was never substantiated.

What DID happen is D.Os got the ax and C.O.s got a "promotion" (now they can appoint and delete - heady stuff in their little world)

a lot of energy was spent promoting cart witnessing and KH building.

The only one that involved the Org in any way that they actually care about, was the building work - the cart witnessing is the peons job.

This news coming out today is a pretty big swing in such a little controlled world.

So maybe the powers that be really are fighting as to what direction to take things?
