  If WT are cutting back on mags will they also cut back on Bethelites?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking after hearing about the agm cutbacks to the mags and other website content surely they will end up dismissing more bethelites?

  i would have thought in the old days, before the web, an artist or writer at bethel would have been a full time job making content for four 32 page mags a month.

  now what are these guys going to do?.

  I believe bethels around the globe are the next big cutback. With all these cutbacks to publications there won't be a need for so many bethelites distributed in many departments that were tied to the publishing work. I can imagine many long time bethelites are having sleepless nights not knowing what there future holds in bethel.

  It does sound a bit suspicious for us in the West but maybe this is the terminology that is used in Nigeria. It wouldn't surprise any of us if it is authentic because of the regular demanding of money nowadays from the gb.

  the purpose of this thread is to share some history with the community.

  Will they drink the Kool Aid?

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as you know the question regarding the “kool aid” is related to the tragic events at guyana and jim jones.

  blind obedience and faith in this man resulted in a massive loss of lives.. sometimes we see the same pattern of blind obedience to the watchtower from the witnesses.

  this could be on major items or small details.

  Same situation here hecce in the Spanish congregations around. They just imitate everyone else's reactions even though they have no idea what's going on. But if Jehovah wants them there, they will be there. Can you imagine the hell they would pay if they decided to miss the annual meeting since they won't get much out of it?

  I think we all see many more bethelites being "reassigned" in the near future.

  Thank you for the update. No new Spanish NWT yet huh? I'm sure many in Spanish are starting to wonder if they'll ever receive the new version.

  Unfortunately the average jw will just conclude it is another sign that the end is near and consider it persecution.

  Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast

  by sir82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.

  restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.

  applicant: that's insulting!

  Interesting that none of the questions that are considered are related to the preaching work or how it will be affected. They must be realizing it's a waste of time.
