  All these new changes and the 20/30 year olds

  by All for show in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i see all these changes we are all shocked by.

  if they are all true, and wtbts is hoping to distract the r&f with the ongoing claim 'the end is so near we need to preach'.

  how long do you give the excitement to die down among the 20-30's crowd?

  I'm 36, and fully awake to the fact that all is not well in Oz, since I was about 10. By 19, I found the internet.

  However, even at 36 I still fight with the idea, the very reality, that the "New Order" has not yet arrived, and that the Generation of 1914 are all DEAD. Actually, all my grandparents, parents, and parents friends are DEAD. And the New Order? Nowhere in sight. Say, who's the King of the North again? What about that Peace & Security? Nowhere in sight. Not even talked about anymore, actually. Types and anti-types? Oh well.....done away with now.
  

  It's still hard for me to accept at times how conned we all were. That's what thorough, manipulative, cult indoctrination does to you from a young age.

  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"

  Did their notice ask them to make sure to square up with the commissary before they left?

  so, recently, i made a reconnection with a long lost jw friend.i first met her when i was about 12 or 13, and she was about 10.. she was a lovely young lady, very poised, very intelligent, a cut above the other girls in the hall.

  easy to talk to.

  i was in love with her.all the boys in the hall loved her.

  A sad story we've all heard too many times before. Wasted life, wasted potential. Heartbreaking.

  Cappytan and SecretSlaveClass: Hey! I want in on that hunt! I'm a rabid gun-toting, target shooting, give me freedom or give me death kind of guy. I live in the Northeast. Never been hunting in my life actually, but I can keep my mouth shut while out.

  Maybe Bill Bowen has finally discovered sarcastic humour? He almost sounds like he could work for the WT "Ministry of Information", the way he polished those turds up!

  Hahahahahahahaha! As I've stated before, if it could happen to Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, it could happen to the WT org.

  How many people are there at Bethel?

  by bohm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  rumor has it 1600 people are going to be re-allocated to the field from bethel (which i assume refers to the brooklyn complex?).

  does anyone know how many people will then remain?

  i have tried to find figures for the number of employed people but i am coming up with nothing.

  The question isn't, "How many Bethelites remain", No.

  The question is, "How many rooms are there at new Warwick HQ?" THAT is the question.

  Does anyone know an approximation as to how many rooms there are at the slaves......errrr.....servants.....errrr.......workers quarters?

  What will you do?

  by Defianttruth in

  2. friends

  i've been thinking, "what if it does fail and there is a mass exodus?".

  i have been wronged and damaged greatly by these ones.

  every one needs to handle this situation in his or her own way, but as for me if it does happen, i will meet them with open arms.

  How many organized off-shoots of Armstrong's "Church of God", remain? Not many I would think. They had a very large following, and a very large, very public, COLLAPSE into oblivion.

  Never say Never. (Unless you are Romeo Void, cause that's pretty catchy)

  I also work in a professional atmosphere around architects, engineers, inspectors, firms, contractors, building sites, etc.

  I didn't see anything wrong with volunteer labour, as long as it was experienced volunteer labour with expertise in that particular job skill set. Also, I just ASSumed that the volunteers were staying for long periods of time until their portion of the work was completed, not thrust into the position for a week or two of work, then sent home and then the process of training a new set of unskilled labour for the same job beginning again and again all over again!

  THAT is an absolute nightmare, and clusterf*ck of the highest order. What the hell are they thinking? Should have just gotten the paid, skilled, professional contractors in there to do it right the first time.

  They don't care though.....they don't care how much money or time they burn. After all, it's only money, and they didn't work for it or donate it to begin with! They only want the end result and bragging rights that it was an ALL-JW project and then they can brag and gloat about Jah's blessings and blah, blah, blah. That's all it comes down to.
