Investment departments in Bethel

by Mikejw in

i was a bethelite in london for many years then got reassigned to the field and then went on brd from the start of chelmsford right upto covid.. during my years at the branch i was sometimes asked to be on a team who went to homes donated to the branch when some older one died.. this happenes an awful lot, everything is left to the branch in the will.

the unbelieving family is furious they didn’t get left anything and sometimes they tried to get their elderly relatives possessions and there was a legal battle .

but in the end a team of us would go and empty the property and another team would clean it up and put it on the market to sell it for the worldwide work.. all the possessions were sorted into trash or possibly valuable .

I was a Bethelite in London for many years then got reassigned to the field and then went on BRD from the start of Chelmsford right upto covid.

During my years at the branch I was sometimes asked to be on a team who went to homes donated to the branch when some older one died.

this happenes an awful lot, everything is left to the branch in the will. The unbelieving family is furious they didn’t get left anything and sometimes they tried to get their elderly relatives possessions and there was a legal battle

but in the end a team of us would go and empty the property and another team would clean it up and put it on the market to sell it for the worldwide work.

all the possessions were sorted into trash or possibly valuable

the things we thought were possibly valuable were sent to the investment department which at the time was run by Brother Peter Bullock.

he was an expert in gold, silver and diamonds. Another brother was expert in fine art, but Peter was expert with expensive watches and jewellery.

he had a large vault safe which we used to joke about because there was millions of pounds worth of gold and diamonds, Rolex and expensive paintings donated.

he would periodically sell bits to local Jewish dealers and an interesting fact is one of the Jewish dealers he sold to became the buyer of Watchtower house on the Ridgeway.

anyway after I left the branch I remained friends with Peter we often used to watch movies together and he would often offer me a glass of fine whiskey

mhe was always immaculately well dressed obviously came from money and was personally very wealthy himself.

his wife left him years before and his only son died of an overdose in mysterious circumstances and he was with him holding his hand when he died

ever since he seemed to be self medicating with whiskey which seemed to be quite common in the branch especially bottles of spirits lots of sisters like their gin of an evening

in Peters case it wasn’t only the evening and it was basically from morning worship all day. It became obvious and he was even driving down the road to Waitrose where all those in the branch used to go coming back with bags of bottles

it got to the point where the brothers confiscated his car as there was some doubt if he was driving sober or not

but then he got an old person’s electric buggy and used to go down to Waitrose to load up on whiskey with that. They couldn’t really confiscate that and often would be obvious he was under the influence

this went on for years and it got to the point of him being announced he was no longer a JW

the interesting thing is this all came to a head about the time of bottle gate as a similar thing was happening to Tony Morris the third

he was very unhappy about the situation especially as what was going on across the pond with Tony who is about the same age

end of the story is Peter was kicked out of Bethel even at his age and frail state and now I hear he died a lonely bitter old soul

very sad story

Now some younger brothers are in charge of the vault full of gold and jewels donated and they work in close proximity to the investment department who are buying stocks and shares with all the donations

Booster shots required for Bethelites and special full time servants?

by PimoElder in

it’s a shame the gov body did a big u turn on vaccines .

if they continue with the rule that only fully vaxed can go back to the hall then i could have stayed on zoom.

but the term fully vaxed is a moving target, if it’s been like six months since your last shot you are just the same as those of us who are unvaxed .

I have insider info on the investment department from London bethel and will post about Peter Bullock in another thread

If large monetary incentives had been offered for WT to endorse vaccines during the eras of JFR/Knorr/Franz... WT probably would have devised some new light on the matter in order to benefit monetarily, or at least to curry favor of uber-vax authorities.

-

absolutely right

all religious leaders were threatened with losing their charitable status if they didn’t push the shots in their followers.

even the pope pushed the shots, in fact every religious leader followed the big pharma narrative

Reports are the investment department bought lots of shares in big pharma before the pandemic and those at the top made a tidy sum

Possible Complaints From WT About JWs Going To Brunches And Going On Vacations

by HiddlesWife in

i recently heard from a few pimos and saw on the exjw reddit that the above topic was discussed during a midweek meeting (clam).

the reddit member mentioned that there were complaints from the branch that too many dubs "were posting too many vacation and brunch pictures [on social media] when that time could have been spent in service!

if this is reality--and knowing this cultcorporation, i wouldn't be a bit surprised--they are really trying to stop the r&f/ members from enjoying normal human activities.

Ramapo is the Disneyland for Jw's. Can call it JWLAND.

if the bethelites can live in luxury why not those outside?

I spent years of my life in bethel and then on BRD, since covid we haven’t been able to visit Chelmsford at all but hope to be able to go there again soon.

Isn’t he a jazz singer?

I was very surprised by some of his performances you wouldn’t believe he was a bethelite

when I was in bethel if someone was singing on stage like he does there is no way he would avoid dismissal and definitely not be involved in videos or singing in the videos

And what are they going to do when a number of fully vaccinated, fully boosted people get sick with coronavirus during field circus? I suppose they are going to start hounding people to get those shots, despite they do no good.

And they will be hounding those who do not go out in field circus, including those who were inactive before they stopped. Get vaccinated (and boosted, if your last shot was more than 6 months ago),

yes I can see another big push to remain ‘fully vaccinated’ as if it’s been six months since your last poison toxic injections then you are the same as someone who is unvaccinated

Factor in he was never having to pay rent or a mortgage, he had his flat renovated free, too.

Surely he will be kicked out
