None of those articles said the victim is a JW, just that she participated in a door-to-door ministry. The only one who says she was a JW is a random commenter on the Japan Times article.

Layoffs at Canadian Bethel
by wannaexit inlooks like the canadian bethel is following in the footsteps of big brother from new york.
i heard through the grapevine that a number of couples have been given their notice.
some of these folks have been in bethel for over 30 years.

Again?? I heard a similar thing a few years back. Before they got the new press, they put in a massive push for more young brothers. More than 50 young brothers became part of the bethel family. But then some stuff changed, and now I heard shipping uses a mobile device on their arms or something to scan orders? It's sounds like automation has eliminated a lot of the shipping brothers, which is where most of the work is.
However, like you mentioned, wannaexit, the majority is couples in their 30s/40s at bethel. When I got there I was really surprised that it was all mostly couples, the young brothers was kind of a minority. Wonder what they'll do with all that free space now.
And no coincidence Georgetown is getting a zone visit in March. Wonder what's going on inside.
Also, there's only like 400-450 people (450 at its most when they got the new press going in 2010) at Canada Bethel, so it's kind of small. The Americans called it the "country club" because it has a beautiful property and a nice atmosphere.

I'll be attending this. Nothing happens at them though, it's just the typical "you're not doing enough, here's a 2.5 hour rant" shit from some old man. -

What the hell? You use their new website to book a room? This is so weird for WT, they must get a kickback or some $ for a referral through this. Also, the fact they trained 40 guys "to become proficient in effective hotel negotiations" is just really weird. They must be pushing to the hotels that they can generate good money with the hundres to thousands of witnesses at the conventions. I know restaurants that now advertise to the JWs during the conventions because they tip well and many come in big groups. Showing their true colours, I guess -

Beth-Sarim mentioned in 1943 Yearbook
by Richard_I inthis is what the 1943 yearbook had to say about beth-sarim on pages 33-34:.
built in 1929, at san diego, california, the house named beth-sarim has been the focal point of much enemy ridicule because it was deeded to abraham, isaac, jacob, david, jephthah, and other righteous men of old whom god has promised to make "princes" in his new world.
much publicity has been given to beth-sarim, society property, due to naming it beth sarim, which means "house of the princes", in expectation of the resurrection of these faithful men of old to be "princes in all the earth".. it was at this home that brother rutherford, the former president of the watch tower bible & tract society, finished his earthly course of life, on january 8, 1942. immediately thereafter considerable publicity was again given the home.

This is what the 1943 Yearbook had to say about Beth-Sarim on pages 33-34:

Much publicity has been given to Beth-Sarim, Society property, due to naming it Beth Sarim, which means "house of the princes", in expectation of the resurrection of these faithful men of old to be "princes in all the earth".
It was at this home that Brother Rutherford, the former president of the WATCH TOWER BIBLE & TRACT SOCIETY, finished his earthly course of life, on January 8, 1942. Immediately thereafter considerable publicity was again given the home. It was the wish of the former president to be buried on this property, but the "city fathers", along with the religionists, put up a great howl. The details of the controversy will be found in Consolation No. 592.
The people of good-will in San Diego showed their desire to have Judge Rutherford's wishes complied with, by 14,693 of them signing a petition, but their desires were ignored. By the circulation of this petition a real witness was given in this territory for a period of months.
The brethren living at Beth-Sarim and on property adjoining thereto look after the interests of the Kingdom at that place. A course of study is conducted there similar to that at the Bethel home, under the direction of a competent instructor. Seven brethren that live there and take care of the property spend a great portion of their time in the field service, organizing study groups and caring for the people of good-will.
These provisions of the Lord-the Watchtower farm on Staten Island and the Kingdom farm at South Lansing, New York-make it possible for those working in New York city preparing the publications to have good food, and thus be enabled to carry on their strenuous duties. All of this provision reflects on the good production shown in this year's report from the 117 Adams Street office.
And that's it. Also, this is all mentioned on Beth-Sarim's Wikipedia article.

I looked up my old congs and they are all the same, 70% and 30%, and there is always an elder called a "fundraiser", along with "director" and "trustee". Must just be how they do the tax stuff.
EDIT
Assets include the Kingdom Hall itself, one of my old congs. had their own hall and moved into another with other congs and I see when they moved, their assets dropped by over $400,000.

Does Bethel have any woman Medical Doctors?
by VM44 inthe watchtower does not usually place women in positions of authority.. so, does anyone know if there have been any female medical doctors (any type, md, do or chiro) that worked at bethel recently?.
the only one that i know of was dr mae j work, but she was at bethel over 70 years ago!.

Yes, Canada bethel had a female doctor when I was there a few years back. At Wallkill there was at least one male doctor I believe, he lived in one of the houses on the farm property with his family.
