i think madonna thinks she's a real hottie.
i don't.. julia roberts is still the pretty woman.. .
HOT!! = Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Susan Hayward, Jane Russell, Jane Mansfield, Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Catherine Deneuve, Brigitte Bardot
What can I say, I was born in the wrong generation. I find that today's actresses pale in comparison to the glamour gals of the past.
pioneer hour change is legit.
letters are being mailed out soon to all congregations for announcement in early october right before the tract campaign starts.. .
elimination of circuit overseers.
Any news on changes with Circuit and District Assemblies, i.e. reduction in days?
i know a few that have recently registered.
what about choo?
When I found out about the UN NGO affair back in 2001 I decided to register to vote. I have voted in the past two presidential primaries and the election in 2004 and will vote again this year.
Q
a reliable source has informed us that the registrar of gilead was removed....laid off.
is the watchtower school of gilead, where they train their missionaries, in the process of downsizing or perhaps dismantling.
now that math.
although not in print yet - 440 bethelites reassigned, was the figure i heard from the platform as to how many bethelites have been reassigned to the field in one way or another in the usa
440 Bethelites reassigned......does that mean those who accepted assignments as pioneers versus those who declined and got jobs at supermarkets...
We all know how the WTS plays with words...
Ynot- you do have a point.

Hmm? How was that mentioned from the platform? Was a letter read from the CCOJWs? During our SM this week there was no such news tidbit. I do have it on good authority that since the downsizing began in 2006 they have let approx 1400 go.

440 in 2008? I believe the total let go since the "downsizing" began is closer to 1400.

Although not officially in the public domain , my understanding is that COs will not be given a new assignment after their existing one ends on Aug 31st 2009. Each CO has been sworn to confidentiality on this matter. WTS still working on the details & many COs annoyed at lack of information. Still some question about whether all will be reassigned as special pioneers - looks like each CO will be treated on a case by case basis. Those who have a home are being "encouraged" to return there. Some COs are already sorting their futures out & have come off or will be by end of service year.
Transitionally , the foreign language circuits are already in the process of being disbanded and will be serviced by existing COs from 1.9.08. No new substitute COs are being recruited.
Ernie: Did you get this info from a reliable source? Bethel contact? The details you mention seem to add validity to the recent speculations.
Q
is indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.
not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.
reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..
The details of Ernie's post seem to add validity to the speculation. Interesting times ahead-
a bizarre explosion at a church east of kansas city killed one man on saturday afternoon.
atf agents said the explosion at the jehovah's witness' kingdom hall on foggy bottom drive was intentionally set, and that the person who died appears to have committed suicide.
witnesses described large amounts of smoke pouring out of the building, which they said was just recently completed.
Besides, who would be coming in on a Saturday afternoon?
Some congregations do hold the Public Talk and Watchtower Study on Saturday afternoons.
