Great story! especially coming from an old timer. You would think they are the most conservative and intransigent.

by betterdaze inlocal father offended by jehovah's witness letter, claims its writer is targeting obituariesjacksonville, fla. a local father who wishes to remain anonymous sent action news jax a copy of a letter sent to his family's church.. the letter read in part: "sorry about your loss.
i read about it from the obituary.
jehovahs witness literature was attached to the letter.. in a time when a family is grieving they need to be surrounded by family and friends.

Our tactless and propaganda filled speeches in funeral of JW's are not enough, let us extend our poor taste in consoling victims to worldly people. -

It means that they want to move mainstream, millenarianism doesn't pay anymore. The problem with mainstream religion is that it's no longer fashionable. So they have nowhere to go -

My True Identity
by The Governor ini write under the screen name the governor.
why i chose this screen name was i felt strongly at the time (and still do) that the charterer itself from the walking dead tv series that is called the governor had a lot of qualities shared with the governing body.
both had narcissism blowing out of their ears, both oppressed individuals for their gain whether it was for power and profits and both the governing body and the governor were able to reel people into their trap by charming outsiders in and giving them big promises that could never be fulfilled.

A simple explanation for the financial changes
by JeffT inas i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.
i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.
i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.

Or maybe the people that are REALLY running this scam cashed out and are now MIA: adios, sayonara, so long, ciao.
I like your theory. It fits well with my idea that the magnificent seven are just a bunch of idiots who couldn't manage their own personal budgets, let alone a multi-billion dollar real estate empire. You just provided another piece of the puzzle. Thank you.

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick
by sir82 inheard 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.

"Kingdom" Ministry gone. Slowly but surely getting rid of millenarian connotations and replacing them with more mainstream titles like "Christian life" -

"Governing Body announced that a total of 1600 Bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to Warwich when the last property is sold in Brooklyn and all Kingdom Hall building projects are on hold for at least a year"
Possible Interpretations:
- administrators discovered waste and are correcting it.
- the coffers are running dry
- some people are preparing to pull the plug on Jehovah organization and are planing to make out like a bandit, quite literally.
