Awesome. I once had an all night watchman duty there while it was being renovated. My watchman duty consisted of sleep + Game Boy + jerking off a couple times.

Canada Zone Visit - April 2013
by Richard_I injust got word of a zone visit for canada in april 2013, think it was april 8 to 14. sounds like its just 2 members of the u.s. branch comittee, no gb.
however, they plan on showing a talk on april 13/14 to all congregations in canada, not just a select few as has always been the case.. it'll be the same old stuff, but maybe this is why they the watchtower is purchasing all those projectors, like that "confidential" document mentions?
to broadcast things like this in all congregations?.

I think it's because the US was never actually a 'branch' until the early 2000's. The GB and their committee's ran everything. Once a branch was established, I'm guessing they started doing the zone visits.

It is OFFICIAL they want MORE MONEY : NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
by raymond frantz ini just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.
although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .
the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.

Ah yes, but it's perfectly ok for the society to spend tons of time and (your) money playing the stock market and investing it.

I don't know if it's an emergency but it is unusual. The last KM school in my area just used local elders and the CO for talks. For this one, they sent a DO from 12 hours away. He's actually staying with my parents for several weeks doing schools in the region. I'm not sure why they had to send someone from so far away. I'll see what info I can get from my dad since he should be going to the school as well.

Watchtower Artwork Revisited...
by Mr. Falcon ini was wondering if any former bethelites could clue me in to how the illustrations get planned/decided upon that wind up in the watchtower publications?
does the writing department formally ask for a specific illustration to go with their dumb article or do the artists just smoke some ganja and come up with their own zany stuff?.
also, to any active bethelites monitoring this site, i would like to submit a recommendation.

CA: looks like we were at Bethel at the same time. Were you in Brooklyn, Pat, or the Farm? Do you mind telling me what dept. you were in?
Did you friends use the word 'demo' (pronounced dee-mo) when referring to demonic stuff? I hated that phrase and wanted to punch that person in the teeth when I heard that. Other bethel phrases I hate: gleaning (food or learning something from a talk), heavy or heavyweight (referring to the prominence of speaker), and congo (congregation).
