  Funny I just logged on to post this very topic.

  Yes I have also heard the same thing. The word is that the Canadian Bethel will be doing all the printing for the whole of North America. They are getting ready to put together a new state of the art printing press/presses. Apparently the work will be non stop and bethelites will be working overtime, shifts and double shifts.

  Something is up. Seems like watchtower is running from something. Are there more legal woes coming down the pipes and are they trying to protect their assets by transferring things to other countries? I wonder what the scoop is.

  I Just Talked To An Old JW Friend About The Dumbness of The Organization

  he came by my work and we talked.

  he pretty much became irregular (as a publisher), moved away and recently moved back into the area.

  he's now a ms again and he's bemoaning his lot in life and sees a lot of stupidity within the "truth".

  they pronounce his name brother Ha-raks.

  FUNNY I ALWAYS PRONOUNCED it JACKASS. Seriously, I don't know why.

  At any rate, nothing against him personally. A few years ago I was so angry I would have been so happy to hear that a member of the governing body was suffering and would certainly have said "good riddance".

  Today I feel sorry for the poor smuck. RIP whenever that might be!!

  The meetings at the Kingdom Hall now are positively scary

  by BonaFide in

  2. friends

  what was i thinking my entire life?

  during the first part about submission, everyone gave the same comments about being obedient to the elders even though you may not agree with them.

  and they talked about submission to the organization no matter what.. no one, i mean no one raised the possibility that the counsel or instructions might be wrong, or harmful.

  Counseled by elders for body odor

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's amazing how the congregation i was in promoted passive-aggressive behavior.

  whenever you saw someone behaving inappropriately, you were supposed to run to the elders to tattle.

  in some cases these were things that were none of our business or should have been handled privately.. there was a pioneertm who was having personal problems of some sort.

  An elder member of my family was assigned by his body to council a sister on her hairy legs. I guess she shaved once or twice but then went back to her old hary self.
