  Bethel Layoff Notices arrive under Bethellite doors

  by Quarterback in

  2. friends

  just heard from a reliable source that some at the canadian branch have received their lay-off notices under their doors at bethel.

  don't know what the letter looks like.

  probably something like, " the tribe has spoken, bring us your torches"

  Don't worry about it, Jehovah will take care of you, just the Watchtower won't!

  I went and visited a Longtime Elder and Friend of mine today in a nearby Congregation(its been about 4 months since we talked). I told him a friend in Brooklyn told me some big changes are coming and that a letter was to be read to all Congregations this Sunday. He tells me that he check his mail on Tuesday and didn't see anything. Then he said let me check again. Then he says, "Oh, a undated Letter", he opens it reads it out loud to me, then says, "I need to contact everyone in my Service Group". I said, "You might want to check with the other Elders first".

  He calls me later and says: "I was wrong to read the letter to you(he's over 70), The letter is Confidential, I made a mistake, please do not tell anyone".

  I said: "I would never do that to You. However a Sister in your Hall, whose son is a CO is telling everyone about this letter". ( She has always been a self-righteous, unmarried for many years, B.tch, Elder wanna be. She even ratted on me once for something really silly.)

  The 1600 Bethelites are just the ones in Brooklyn, not counting elsewhere.

  I remember the food at the Conventions and Assemblies. They made Money until it was changed to a donation for the food.

  All of sudden, they were losing money for the lack of Donations.

  Food Program ended, problem ended!

  I talked to ex RBC member who has applied to work with the LDC 6 months ago and has heard nothing!

  And anyone that I have talked to has not heard of any LDC projects going on in the Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama area.

  There are 3 Congregations in Gadsden, meeting in one Hall that was built 4 years ago. The other 2 Halls were sold to pay for the new one.

  Does it matter which one was the one where Ray Franz went?

  I have yet to see a New Kingdom Hall or Renovation performed by the new LDC. Has anyone out there seen one?

  I was told yesterday that all projects are on hold until the LDC gets it's crew together.
