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.

The End of Circuit Overseers
by scotsman inis 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..

Besides, who would be coming in on a Saturday afternoon?
Some congregations do hold the Public Talk and Watchtower Study on Saturday afternoons.

New meeting arrangement - just over 5 months to go
by passwordprotected inat the recent dc the new meeting arrangement was mentioned just once, but not to give us further details on how the new meeting will be structured or how the r&f will be cared for.. .
instead the audience was urged not the second guess the gb, being advised to look at how well the spirit has directed the org up until now, so therefore it will do so into the future.. .
but the reality is the congregations are only just over 5 months away from this new meeting arrangement, yet they know little about how it'll actually affect them.. .

Neutrality Issue - How did the WT Society used to hide behind us...
by justhuman inthe neutrality issue was one of the major issues that young brothers in many places in the world are facing.
some they died for that issue, some the spend many years in prisons, and as a result they are record is marked for being in prison.. in my country many brothers went to prison from 2-4 years, but the most outrageous thing that the wt did, it was to hide behind an 18 year old kids.
yeah the cowards running wt they didn't have the balls to stand next to us, and i will explain why:.
