  That is going to be a shock to the Bethelites to have to tidy up their rooms on a daily basis, considering how anal WT is about housekeeping rules. I know that you are not supposed to leave lines in the carpet when you vacuum and not having anything out of place.

  just got done watching parts of the october episode at jdub.broadcasting and it looks like the definition of "sacred service" is getting an update.

  construction work, helping out fellow dubs, even helping out non-beliebers and opposers will soon be adding up to record progress for publishers... gett ready for a huge increase in hours being reported.... can you hear it now??

  my how jw.org provides.... pbrow.

  The service report form S-43 has not changed since about '53, so I highly doubt that any new columns will be added anytime soon. It's a nice concept to perhaps allow the following: giving bible studies rides to meetings column; or nursing home visit to encourage long forgotten brother/sister column (actual praying counts double); perhaps watching screeching toddler at meetings for frazzled single mom ( must be in 15 minute increments); maybe house cleaning for widowed brother/sister (grown children must live >100 miles).

  but no girls allowed!

  as of january, women won't be accepted as volunteers, at any of the job sites!.

  Wifibandit, Is it not comforting to know that the future resident brothers' and sisters' medical needs will be well taken care of as you can see in the "Therapy and Dental" department in the plans?

  Our CLAM meeting (vid): SELF-NEGATION is the first "treasure" from first meeting segment

  by Gilgamesh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the first sample video of the clam meeting (christian life and ministry) at about 5 minutes, 50 seconds in, a brother (steven phillips) is assigned the first segment of the new meeting, "treasures from god's word.

  " ( http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwbrd_201510_5_video ).

  he shows just how sloppy the wts still is at trying to explain the deeper meanings of scriptures.

  So that's all that we got from the AGM, was changing the TMS to the newly coined "CLAM" meeting?

  My Opinions on whats going on in WT land - Insider Information

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off, i'd like to state that i currently have "privileges" in the congregation and volunteer at bethel on and off throughout the year.

  that's as much information as i will currently give about myself.. starting off, i think something big is coming in the form of lawsuits and bad pr.

  they seem to be batting down the hatches in preparation for something the last few years and even more so the last few months.

  All this makes me recall the account where Brother Barr said with hand gesturing in the air, "the amount of money does not decrease, no matter how much the Society spends". WTH happened?

  here is the email: .

  ---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

  Datadog said: LOL!!!! Poor Bethel has no waiters, only a lowly buffet! Dubs layed off to pioneer! HAHHHHH!!!! They ain't living in my basement!!

  DD

  don't laugh remember the video where the moocher CO pressures/guilts the gullible home-owning brother to let him and his wife live in his basement. Remember who your dealing with. Would you really take the last hotdog on the buffet line before Brother Morris had his serving?

  Would a letter outlining a major change in the mid-week meeting be drafted that far ahead of the actual annual meeting? The letter looks legitimate though.
