  so i made a timeline based on the leaked letter, it is as follows:.

  edit: updated chart with color, because the html version was crap.

  so i know i might be crazy, but is the theocratic school still there, just called apply yourself to field ministry?

  Where in the letter does it say that these would be eliminated? I guess they could be gone, but I'm just going by the letter and not inventing any crazy ideas like the witnesses do . . .

  Correct, but this is no different from the existing school, only now there are MORE participants. I say more because, previously there were three parts, with a maximum of 5 people. Now, there will be the same number of parts, but like you said, six people could potentially be up there. Plus, you have a bible reading before all of that.

  The videos will take over once a month, yes, but the letter mentions they will be discussed, so who will lead such a discussion? Most likely the relabeled school overseer. Also the letter refers to participants in the Apply Yourself section as students.

  Instead of fanatically jumping to conclusions based on hearsay and excitement, we should look at the letter with logic and reason to determine what has changed, and what will stay the same. We should also conclude that some things are unknown.

I'd say it's even longer because it is preceded by Digging for Spiritual Gems (old Bible Highlights), and a bible reading. So they had 4 parts, now there's 5; unless no counsel is given to the brother doing the reading, I guess that makes more sense really.

  Revolt Brewing At Headquarter and Different Branches and The Governing Body Is Losing Credibility Among It's Staff

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in my mind i see this as a very real situation developing rapidly world wide as these child molestation pay out become public knowledge and can no longer be denied or kept secret from the r&f.

  pretty soon the governing body will be the but of many jokes at headquarters and abroad.

  they are being caught red handed while robbing the cookie jar.

  The best revolt the WTS can ever experience involves wallets and feet.

  I still say a clandestine fifth column scenario is a strong possibility.

  For example, look at what happened to the LDC project. It got completely shut down. How? The RBC was a closed circuit of individuals in the US branch who acted relatively independent from oversight. Brooklyn took this fringe-lengthening activity away, so they reacted in a passive-aggressive manner, effectively disabling the new arrangement.

  What's to stop a group of people, serving in let's say the Service/Writing/Personnel committees, from doing something even more intentional and thought-out? Because they desire, not reformation, but destruction? Possibly their plans are already in motion, and you are beginning to see the effects . . .

  truthseeker100, I think this is always a risk, especially with certain types that rely on outside consultation/influence to determine the best answer. I always have my extroverted sensing friends take one or more tests, just to confirm, or see if they come back a different type because they felt different that day.

  One good test I always have people take is found here: http://similarminds.com/embj.html That one kinda is longer, and asks some of the same questions multiple times and in different ways.

  Does anyone have access to any/all of the S-300 forms? Those would also be good to have in the public domain. Thanks.

  I didn't see anything like these women running around at my RC. All I saw was a bunch of strung out, single 45yr old sisters running to get seats, and some idiotic little 15yr olds who were forced to be there. I guess I was too busy. Oh well.

  I wouldn't be surprised if these chicks were all on the edge, had worldly boyfriends, and are just waiting for the right moment to get out or start a quick fade.

  this is a crappy letter from the watchtower.

  i'm only posting it to show how micro-managers these fools are.

  and at the end, they say: "we should avoid making specific rules about somewhat technical matters".

  What a bitch. Comments are the most difficult thing to adjust for. You literally need to have your hands on the mixer at all times during commenting to compensate for everyone's speaking style/volume. She should be glad I wasn't there in that meeting; her husband would have beat her face that night.
