  1975 - 2010

  seems so long ago, 1975, lots happened to us all since but not the promised big a and a new system - what we get now is bethelites made redundant, no sign of a promise fulfilled, and yet millions still adhere to the wt.

  and still in front of us is 2014 - how will; the wt big that up'.

  1975 has been made redundant like hundreds of bethelites - as far as i know the year has not been mentioned for - well 35 years now.

  US Presidential - race of minnows in pursuit of power

  first - yes - i am in uk and have no vote and possibly no right to overly criticise.

  be that as it may i must comment that the candidates available for the us voters do not stand out as world leaders, neither are kennedys, eisenhowers, or even nixons.

  is this choice the best that the us has to offer itself ?

  ...we miss you..please come back to the Truth...............

  by core in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  had to call at a store late today to collect some items whe i was approached by an earnest young woman who i vaguely remembered.she had the earnest appearance of a cult member with glowing smile and earnest almost boring eyes.

  she chatted generally about my family and then started to pat my arm and said "just try and come back...we miss you so much, you must miss the truth in your life", .

  frankly i felt nauseous and for reasons of courtesy (or cowardice) did not reply words to the effect of get lost.

  Actual Number of the anointed remaining

  by core in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  heard from a sister that a visitor to their cong (from usa) mentioned in passing that at the top at brooklyn they did not think that the reported number of anointed still alive was accurate, rather they believe that only a couple of hundred remain.

  they apparently believe this points to the end soon (again) - also if it is true they are not proclaiming it (obviously because the time limit it imposes will be exposed as another failed date).

  odd if that is the case as they keep on finding gb members who are not actually very old

  Bethel Downsizing - Management Discussions

  by core in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  the spin on downsizing is apparently "go out into the field" yet when the gb initially considered this it must have been presented as a practical problem - too much surplus hr capacity/ too expensive to maintain - or whatever and yet they turned it into a positive matter by stressing the return to the field - all those in such discussions are clearly able to deceive themselves as much as they try and deceive the "flock" - what do you think - did a discussion on a practical problem have to have a positive outcome and how did they twist their minds so as to sell it as such - for years they begged people to stay in bethel service (make it your home for life) and now they cast them out into the world with the thin veneer of "speedin g up the preaching work .. etc".

  all those at the top must have been involved in turning this huge embarrasment (jehovah will provide etc) into a positive spin - they should try out for a marketing award "downsizing - the only way to grow!

  1975 - UK 30 Year Rule

  by core in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  under the "30 year rule" secret government documents from 1975 have just been released to public view.. much of interest in the documents ....what a pity the wtbts will not be releasing any of its secret papers from that very interesting year!.

  we can read the minutes of all british cabinet meetings, state papers etc but will never get to know the inner workings at nyc - why is that.........anything to hide maybe?
