there are rumors out, that the italy (rome) bethel is being shut down and putting out to pasture a large portion of the bethel staff.. has anyone heard anything... ?.
the word is that everyone but the most senior members will be let go.
the senior bethel family members will be reassigned.
Joe123cd: No the Bethel is still functioning. As LaFrancia pointed out Its OK. The heavies were brought in to sort things out.
Quarterback: There are two italian couples from Canada. If you know the one couple you probably will know the other couple.
LaFrancia: please keep us updated (tienici informati)

I heard that three years ago bethel was put under the care of the Seltezr (spel) branch. Germany didin't have success.
This year Brooklyn sent over 3 italian elders and their wifes to set things straight. One is from New York and the other two are Canadians. The committee members have been put aside and these three are running the show.
The blog proclamatore consapevole started out as a group of three who are trying to bring reform from the inside. They feel that the organization has been overrun by burocratic self serving individuals and that the rot reaches the top. However they still believe that this organization is the "truth".
There is a poster here by the name LaFrancia who is involved in the group.
there's a new letter coming up next week to be read instructing the publishers to begin reporting the number of tracts placed in the ministry, including copies of kingdom news 38, annual invitations, district handbills and other tracts.
lol.
see, the borg is allegue about numbers, and why on earth do they tell you to start counting placement in the middle of a campaing, like the one they are doing now witk kingdom news 38 and not before it started??.
I am not surprised. With these tract campaigns coming fast and furious, ragazine placements are falling behind. So they need to look for different and creative ways to keep the numbers up--so they can say " see brothers, looks how wonderful jehovahs' organization is"
Pretty soon they are going to be counting sheets of toilet paper used while they are service.
evening.
i have it from 1st hand (or second) that a circuit overseer who gave a talk at twickenham in august 2013 has been disfellowshipped.. .
my dilemma?
So when a CO gets disfellowshipped is there an announcement in every congregation in the circuit he served? If this is the case , his name will come out soon enough. Just give it time
i would like to meet so many people!
actually hang out with them and see if we get along after meeting in person!.
here's my list:.
It would be nice if we could all meet. Everyone brings something different to this forum.
so... i should have commented on the thread on dating a fader.. i am a fader, and my girlfriend is just... she doesn't care much for jw's... she wants to be with me, and while we are together we ignore all jw rules.
last night, for example, we celebrated halloween.. there's a problem, though, and i need your help.. again, i will explain the cities:.
city a: where my parents (and now i) live.
I think that option 2 would keep you off the hot seat for a while. At least until you get on your feet and in your parents house. Put in a few hours. This will keep everyone off your back.
i bethelite sent this email out - can't really give out names.
we wrote these figures as quickly as possible, but could not keep up 100%).
you get to check these figures out when you get your 2014 yearbook.
"creative accounting"= publishers and pioneer fudging + headquarters fudging
so another wonderful tract campaign will take place in november.
cities and towns will be inundated by a cheap bifold about the dead .. but the dubs are warned--if there is a "no trespassing sign" on a property enter at your own risk.
so says the letter from mother/gb that was read this week at the hall.
Blondie- thanks for digging that case up.
when i slowly but surely departed, i heard that the love of money was what drew me out.
(yeah, right)..
When I stopped pioneering and missed one assembly, people were saying that "i fell out of the truth""

You are right Phizzy it appears that this caution was eliterated about 9 years ago. I did a quick search and there was a thread about. I think what struck me this time around is the tone the letter had. It was a" pointing the finger" type of letter no doubt carefully crafted by their lawyers. The sense was that "if you disregard any of these signs, we wont back you up and you may be sued----so there".
I remember the sleuty ways we would get in apartment building as Rebel 8 mentioned. My poineer partner and I would wait around until someone would enter, then sneek in and start from the top floor. We would do a few doors and then go the the next floor . Eventually we would find some irate person that would call security and we would be kicked out. But then we would do it all again the next time.
When I think about it now, I am so ashamed of some of the tactics that were used to infringe on others right to privacy.
