i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.
my goodness that was nothing !
a letter was read today from bethel addressed to all congregations in britain that can only be described as the biggest news for years.the main points:.
raymond frantz, thanks for posting this. Do you have a scan of the letter you could post?
I'm curious about the full-time nature of the "construction servants" that will be involved with this. Do they not have outside sources of income? Who is supporting them?
All of this seems to be increasing the control of the branches and by extention the GB. This would correspondingly increase their liablity in any legal issues.
Curiouser and curiouser

Flipper: I'd say about 95 % or more of JW's are not even aware of these child abuse lawsuits happening within their organization
I would have to agree with Flipper's informal assessment. The WT's indoctrination to avoid anything negative of their precious little cult is very effective.
the big news at the annual corporate meeting was probably the sudden realization that gog of .
magog was some group of nations.
the news was given by geoffrey jackson.
scotoma: The question with all these adjusted explanations is why Jehovah would allow his people to be misled in the first place.
And the answer is: God doesn't have anything to do with it.

konceptual99: They know nothing. It's just a bogus method of raising expectations without having to say anything of consequence. I think they will be very cautious about ever putting a stake in the ground on this one.
Well said. They LOVE to raise expectations and create a sense of mystery, but the fact is: they got nothing!
Be prepared for it to become less concrete and more abstract.
I'd put it this way, Be prepared for it to become less specific and more vague.
the biggest sell off of kingdom halls in britain.
hi guys last night i posted this here but only a few notes as it was quite fresh and only announced lasdt night at the meeting.i have now updated article and included a couple of useful links about this matter .

NDF, the funny thing about it is this: Everyone that is actually posting what they see with their own eyes is saying that the selling off is going on where they are; or, at the very least, there is no building going on.
The "building" always seems to be "somewhere else."
As you said, "2 + 2 = 5"

Those days are clearly gone, on both counts!
