Late Bloomer
I believe TakeOffTheCrown was referring to the GB's wives, not the regular Bethelite wives. Certainly they have enough time to fry some bacon and eggs for their men, don't they? What exactly do GB wives do all day?
Thank you Late Bloomer for the clarification. Yes, I was referring to the wives of the Governing Body.

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.

Wow! Thanks for the picture wifibandit.

i had not been to one since before the holiday break (3 weeks ago).
besides, it was our first meeting in the new format.
HA!! This is enough to make you roll on the floor.

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.

Is the WTS providing food for breakfast, lunch, (dinner) is what I would ask.
Good question Blondie.

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):

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.
