south africa.
united states.
Sri Lanka bethel in Colombo have just notified 20% of the bethelites that they are going to have to leave. They are being encouraged to regular pioneer.
There are also many special pioneers there who are being told they are being reassigned as regular pioneers instead.

does an still active jws know if the baptism questions have changed to reflect their recent eagerness to baptize young children?
or do they cajole the kids through the 80 or so questions, not expecting right answers?.
i was never baptised, so i don't know the old drill or if there is a new one.. thanks.. my auto correct doesn't know there were 80 questions!.
The questions were at the back of the Organise book.
Now that book has been replaced it will be good to see which questions have changed.
a really great example of wt pulling doctrine out of their heiney that nowhere exists in the scriptures!
when i started waking up to ttatt, i remember in my own reading the tons of scriptures that speak of god, the holy spirit, etc teaching directly.
tons of scriptures that go against the wt doctrine of only able to learn through them.
Blatant and appalling.
Thank you for bringing out yet another example of the GB twisting scripture in order to try to keep their position of power over everyone.

well in advance, the meeting chairman should ensure that theelder or ministerial servant assigned a part during treasures from gods word willconsider the question and answer for the week.
has anyone on the board been at the recent meeting where they are asking for more money to help out the co's, insurance and health and travel??
this is supposed to go into a general fund???
they can use it for anything they want..... oh, and also, if you can give more, it would help as many congregations may not be able to give - based on number of pubs in each cong.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeze every last drop out of them.
What next, a Special Pioneers shoe fund? Oh, but just call it worldwide work.
“Beware of the scribes who want to walk around in robes and want greetings in the marketplaces and front seats in the synagogues and the most prominent places at evening meals. They devour the houses of the widows and for show they make long prayers. These will receive a more severe judgment.”
cult flakes?.

(welcome to the height of intellectual thread topics.
something occurred to me last night.
people that made their pilgrimage to jw mecca (bethel) would often be excited about some silly things, i say silly because for those of you who were there or lived near enough to be involved in these things regularly they lost their magic.
i am talking about on tours one of the most memorable things people talked about or looked forward to... lunch.
Which GB member recently complained that some families have been to Disneyland but not to bethel?
What a disconnected twerp.
