  Wives doing all the cleaning, cooking and laundry? Huh? Is this 1918? or 1960? Bethel wives work at Bethel just as hard as their husbands do!

  Good Point.

  I also seem to recall something about buffet style for their meals? I don't know how that works with eating breakfast in your own room though. Maybe the buffet is for lunch & dinner?

  I know the laundry service is going away. Everybody will have to wash their own clothes.

  I think the cleaning service is going away too. Everyone will have to clean their own rooms.

  These are very interesting times for the Bethelites.

  As I recall, they are on their own regarding preparing their food. Each residence unit in Warwick has its own small kitchen. They will even get to eat breakfast in their own rooms, watching the "morning worship" on the TVs they have in there.

  Each residence will have its own small kitchen? Very good.

  Apparently, this Governing Body will have very nice accommodations built for themselves and their wives at the new complex in Warwick (if the rumor quoted below is true):

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4589393092280320/warwick-finish-early?page=2&size=10

  10/26/15 I guess. Anon continues

  2-3 weeks ago Br Losch came to 'bid' on his 'room' which was specifically designed for him. You probably know this but they aren't really rooms, they are like goddamn apartments. With 2 bedrooms, 2 baths (I think?), a balcony, kitchen, an office and lounge area/living with a tv. Each gb member has one specifically designed for him. So, losch was given a lakeside view room. He rejected the room and said he wanted a (bleeped) mountainside view, what a prick.
  

  There is another thread regarding this subject with some very interesting posts: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5171654518898688/governing-body-perks

  We will be reducing personnel at Bethel. Some Bethel family members will be invited to serve in the field. In addition to their regular work, Bethel family members will be caring for many of the services that were previously provided by fellow Bethelites.

  Does anyone know if the Bethelites will have to prepare their own food? Also, will Bethel provide the food as well as give them access to the kitchen facilities?

  If the Bethelites have to prepare their own food and, in some cases, buy their own food, the Governing Body and their wives should be required to do the same.
  

  It should be required that their wives (or GB) should prepare their own food, do their own laundry, and clean their own rooms. Bethelites should not be required to provide these services for them. The reduction in services should apply to them as well.

  i wanted to share with you some feed back from this region.

  since you could say tanzania and other regions within africa are the last hard to reach places on the earth.

  it is where the www preaching work funds are directed, as being justified to get your donations.there are now no longer any foreigners at the branch within tanzania, they all were told to go.

  There are NO longer and Missionaries within Tanzania.
  

  What do the Brothers think, What are they saying?.

  They don't easily get to watch the jw. org videos here due to funds.
  

  They are just shaking their heads, They are Depressed and Down.

  They are asking what is the problem, Why is Jehovah deserting us. They are starting to look stupid and they don't like it.
  

  This is going to backfire hugely on the organization as it looks like they were suckered in.

  Looks as though the preaching work is coming to an end (if it hasn't already) and this GB may not be aware of it.
