Warwick, What is it good for?

by freemindfade in

absolutely nothing.... has anyone dared ask what they need this place for?

think about a few things.

in bethels hay day, there was a shit ton of literature being printed, they even need a giant factory with elevators a truck could fit in.

Well for one thing, they need a state of the art nursing home for not just the GB but all those old timers that are high up helpers and Corporate.

This would include living quarters, dental facilities, PT department (physical therapy) eye clinic and a small surgical suite for minor surgeries (skin cancer removals etc) and other more practical daily life services such as laundry, barber shop, cafeteria.

Then there is the bunker aspect. This is the underground ventilated state of the art war room where they will cower while they wait to be raptured.

In addition to all of the above (its real purpose) there is its stated purpose and they need the requisite housing and offices for the legitimization of those aspects also.

Britain Branch Construction - UPDATE

by The Searcher in

definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .

me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.

debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

The height of irony and so true.

Once again, "Satan's World" seems to be doing a better job looking after "Jehovah's People" than His own Earthly Organization..

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

by Slidin Fast in

the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

HI vidiot,

I thought that the GB didnt do any of that type of work? Accounting that is.

According to Jackson testimony, they dont even write the literature..they just sit around and approve stuff.

I lappreciate hearing your reasoning because it sounds like you have a good head for these type of things Steve,

I wasnt thinking so much of what you said about the Orgs legal team as I was what you said about their financial advisors.

Im sure they run P&L statements every quarter. No one saw this coming in 3 quarters of book work?

That is really hard to believe.

(which I agree could add weight to what you and Doc think, that maybe this was being orchestrated on some level)

I am looking at this from a different angle though.

I absolutely do not think they wanted to have to announce the layoffs and construction halt. I dont think this is part of a plan.

I think when they bragged about the greatest building work the world had ever seen they fully thought they were going to do it. Remember how they stated they would buy properties not even for sale yet?

Very cocky.

Now this.

But I do have to say...I dont know anyone or any real info whatsoever. Im just guessing.

DesirousOfChange8 hours agoso last January was the big meeting with elders. The letter about construction had to have been drafted before it was read, so the very latest it was being composed in late 2014 correct?
So what thing of magnitude would they have been unaware of? Its only been 3 financial quarters since then,
Remember who your source is for your reasoning. Its the WTS itself. Your reasoning is based on the assumption that everything said last January was truthful. It could be that they already knew the building plans were going to have to slow down (or stop), but they had to have a smokescreen to steal all the funds from every Congregation. Now that enough time has passed (in their opinion), or the financial situation has even worsened, the other shoe drops.
Theocratic warfare anyone?
Doc

Thanks Doc, I get your point and see how what you are saying works if they are doing this as part of a plan to bilk the flock.

I am working from a different theory I guess.

I think when they called the elders together and when they read that letter about the biggest building work the world has ever known, they meant it.

I think they thought it was coming to pass...C.O.s were all excitedly saying "wait till you see whats coming..." and then voila...the letter and the plans for construction on a ramped up level.

Of course, I have no insider info and could be completely wrong. Probably am in fact!

Well count me in the simplistic group!

Financial law is way over my head.

I was thinking more along the lines of watching in stunned disbelief as helicopters whirled over the Enron parking lot while stunned employees stumbled out of the building, cardboard boxes of their former offices in hand.

Someone had to tip off the helicopters to be there to film it, right?

But lets go with this statement:

steve2
, their own attorneys and accountants would be up with the play and provide clear warnings about the financial health of the organization

so last January was the big meeting with elders. The letter about construction had to have been drafted before it was read, so the very latest it was being composed in late 2014 correct?

So what thing of magnitude would they have been unaware of? Its only been 3 financial quarters since then,

Jan - March, Apr - June, July- Sept.

So what huge thing happened (in accounting terms) between January and now that accountants would have had no way to see coming?

E-Mail, Just recived. About Bethell adjustments.

by DwainBowman in

i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

here is the email: .

---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

millie210

Would it be reasonable to think that whatever "it is", that "it" became an issue after the letter and subsequent meeting of all elders last January to inform them about "the greatest building work ever?

My Opinions on whats going on in WT land - Insider Information

by thedepressedsoul in

first off, i'd like to state that i currently have "privileges" in the congregation and volunteer at bethel on and off throughout the year.

that's as much information as i will currently give about myself.. starting off, i think something big is coming in the form of lawsuits and bad pr.

they seem to be batting down the hatches in preparation for something the last few years and even more so the last few months.

millie210

I like your approach very much thedepressedsoul.

You are being very smart - too bad the Org doesnt play their hand that way.

How accurate is the Bible?

by WireRider in

how accurate is the bible?

the "compiled" version (council of nicaea) was not established for hundreds, or even thousands, of years after events happened.

stories were handed down generation to generation to generation before being written down.
