Gone bad
Exactly. We have one young upcoming hotshot who is paying special attention to " spiritual widows". Holding so called family studies. Maybe he is looking for a mother?? Or something else. He is one of the ones who never seem to notice girls.
i just watched the oprah interview.
i know that many view them with little interest as just entitled wastes of space and i get that.. however, the description of how they were "trapped" and silenced and forced into perpetuating the system with little or no personal freedom rang bells for me.
they are effectively shunned, estranged and disparaged by their family and cut off from support.
If it was Charles who commented he has no room with his complexion as seen on tv
has anybody heard the new audio recordings for the main study book enjoy life forever?
instead of a straightforward reading, it's mixed with reenacted "quotes" delivered in a phony-natural voice from men and women, with hip music in the background.
the organization is so up to speed and innovational lol.
Havent heard it. Please save me from any more of their approved music.

"To the manor born " is hard to learn.
There are good historic reasons for the royal family being forbidden entering political discussion.
The misapplied: "all men are created equal" actually had to do with the supposed divine right of kings.
whether you are in the usa or another country, are you for it or against it?.
I think I should be able to go to Mexico, work, buy any property I want and avoid taxes.
There are actually few countries that are as attractive as the USA, Canada, western Europe
i overheard this, while my father was listening to the mid week zoom meeting.
apparently all the reshuffling with the bethelites having to do their own food prep and washing was because it would free up space for better utilisation, and bethelites who were needed for these jobs could now be out in the field ministry.
omg😳 i also chocked when i heard that.
Fewer cooks, waiters, laundresses to feed and house.
The reassigning to ministry is actually a layoff.
Imagine having to make your own bed, cook yourself, do your own laundry instead of having a maid and butler

I got that the GB is curtailing the local elders adding extra congregational meetings. The ones here had an hour every morning, 2 hours Saturday. Showed the same videos over and over. Gave special talks. 3 hours on go bags one time. Even made announcements and when people asked why they had not heard them were told they should have been tuned in during the week.
There were in times past " study" groups that went into extra material. Including why Sister Annointed was having prophetic dreams and to pay attention to her.

They had become defacto mandatory here. Lots of nagging if they didnt see you on. Good riddance
these cartoons have been labeled by the venerable new york times newspaper as offensive.
