Try google searching 'watchtower out of court settlements' you should find some AP links or something. They've absolutely settled out of court along with gag orders so people can't find out what really happened and what the payouts were.

Ciro and his wife stayed at our home once when I was a teenager. He is an absolute nutjob. Just from observing him I should have known something was up with this organization.

Do You Fully Support "Obamacare"?

Whoops my math was wrong. 200 an hour. Truly you'll be in the breadlines soon because of obamercare.
UHC would be preferred and I'm not keen on the fact that this bill amounts to a giant payout to insurance companies. that said there's some good provisions in the bill, for example free birth control for women.

Sir82: My guess would be yes. With Brooklyn shutting down and the printery downsizing. there's a TON of support people that they aren't going to need.

Hey while we're looking for old WT articles, what's the date on the one that says the preaching work would be over by the end of the 20th century?

Post 2001, the US Branch has been shrinking. Since we all suspect that donations are at an all time low, it makes sense to shrink the numbers worldwide. There's a few things they've done to do this.
1) Not bring in any new Bethelites. There's always been a churn at Bethel. Guys that do their 1 year and leave, guys that get married and leave, etc. The problem is that there was no lack of replacements. Now they don't bring in new people for months at a time.
2)MTS and Giliead. In years past if a person wanted to attend either school, they had to leave Bethel, apply, and hope they get in. Obviously no one in a position to attend either school would want to leave Bethel, so they changed that rule. As soon as that happened, there were a ton of applicants. A great way to thin the numbers.
3) "Lay-off" people. They definitely re-assigned a lot of people to special pioneering. It wasn't necessarily bad workers though. It was sort of an unspoken rule at Bethel that after doing a manual job for so long you'd eventually get an office job. By that time the brother is probably an elder and maybe a Bethel elder. So that leads to too many chiefs (in made up positions). Most of the people I know whom were sent home fit this bill. They are still in the Religious Order and get a stipend. I don't know how much it is. I've never asked one because it's generally impolite to talk about money. I'm sure someone here knows.
