  Hey Simon

  i'm noticing that when i open quite a few of the posts here i notice that the end of the sentences on some lines are breaking improperly.

  like for the word paragraph, it's broken up with the "aph" on the next line for an example.

  it's happening a lot i'm seeing it just about in every post i open, is it just my view and my computer?.

  It has to do with posting long URLs.

  The End Is Near...

  so we all know and are seeing that as the org is taking some kind of financial beating it is being interpreted, either by design or not, that armageddon is coming any second now.

  well from our vantage point we can see the only end that may be near is for the publishing company itself, wtbts, and not the world.

  its sickening to hear loved ones and friends say this, that this means the desert god is coming to wipe out most of humanity.

  Template to dump Special Pioneers

  by avaddohn94 in

  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  If I recall correctly, don't Regular Pioneers have to apply every September? It would make jw sense to reapply when transitioning from one form of full-time service to the other.

  EDIT: Eden, that was beautiful. lol

  More rumors, 500 families laid off from South African bethel.

  from a recent reddit thread:.

  i just received confirmation from a very trusted source in south africa bethel that up to 500 "families" (i imagine couples or singles) are getting let go from that branch.. also confirmed is the special pioneer cull.. what really strikes me about the layoffs is that the south african bethel provides literature and other needs for most of africa, a huge growth area for the org.. .

  This is going to be more than 1600 Bethelites worldwide. Perhaps that 1600 number we heard about was the U.S. alone?

  I used an outline from a Baptist Website on my last talk. (By suggestion from a forum member.)

  i delivered it with a beer buzz.

  got so many compliments. Lol

  Are Circuit Overseers next?

  by Londo111 in

  last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?

  of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.

  they would have to care for their own expenses.

  They could easily lay off 50% of the CO's and have the CO visit only once a year.

  The vision is yet for the appointed time, and it keeps panting on to the end...

  Seems to me that cut backs are the opposite of "panting on."

  no that’s one of the reasons I join in when I need a good laugh.

  SimonSays: Most construction projects halting, Magazines being cut in half (again), Bethelites being laid off (again), Special Pioneers getting the boot, Remote Translation Offices closing, JW Broadcasting pleas for "valuable things"...

  Surely, Jehovah is smiling upon his organization and pouring out his blessings!
