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.
.

I will have you all know this info came at great cost to me, having to pretend to be interested and care about 'kingdom interests" and agree with things like how "the end needs to come
We do care about "kingdom interest and the END" Just not the way JWs think!!!!
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.

I don't give many JWs credit for adding 2+2WingCommander
THIS? I agree, this has just GOT to wake some more people up.

It was only a short time ago that they were begging for money for Construction of all the K.H's that are "needed".
They also stole the money Congregations had in their Banks.
If true, this is the most blatantly open Rip Off they have ever done !
I was thinking the same thing, what is one of my old kingdom halls going say now, especially when they took away their money "Twice"

it is indicated that the org is slowing down on preaching and focusing more on construction. Now, supposedly, they're halting construction and focusing on preaching. Why such a rapid, abrupt change?
I know for a fact that CO’s and Former DO’s were in the dark just like every other JDub.
One minute all the anointed on earth is the Faithful and Discreet Slave, the next minute only 7 men are the faithful and discreet slave.
One minute you can’t take “ANY” Blood, the next minute you can take all kinds of blood fractions.
Now we know why is was so hard to wake up, they kept us running back and forth.

All the Governing Body has to do to escape repercussions from an angry mob of JWs,
Is play the “Victim Card”
It was the Bible’s fault; it’s not inspired from God
But to be honest, we did tell you that it was not inspired.
w96 4/15 p. 19 Why True Worship Receives God’s Blessing
Bible translations themselves are not inspired by God. Translations, by their very nature, may reflect variations of the understanding of the original tongues in which the Bible was recorded.
But you wanted to believe so we supported you!
Good luck we wish you the best!!
its been a couple of weeks since a new c.o.

one brother told me that in one of his talks he asked the question; .

To answer the OP's questions: No, No, and a big YES!
I did a little 'research' and found an interesting article "This Is Our Place of Worship", and the section "Providing and Financing Kingdom Halls TM", seems to confirm what you are saying. Here's just a smidgeon.
Watchtower TM July 2015, study edition
Thanks talesin, I hadn't noticed that on the magazine, it's an eye opener.
1. did jesus use the term this generation as a compliment?
2. was jesus speaking to people living at that time?
3. was jesus speaking about people living at that time?

Imho it would be no different that when the bookstudy as a separate meeting night was cancelled. Most dubs were very happy that they had another free night... If the dubs were relieved of the door to door work they'd be happy to comply.
I agree Listener, if I was still in and this change took place, I would celebrate and I wouldn't mind giving a few bucks$$$$ instead of going door to door.
Hey, isn't this how the other religions evolved??

Thanks Terry,
You know, I would have liked to have met Jesus and ask him some direct questions like;
"Is there life after death" and when will that take place?"
But knowing what I know, He probably would have answered me like this;
"Look at the lilies of the field that feed the birds, if you have the faith of a worm, the butterfly will come!"
OK!!!!!!!
