News flash - ex-Bethelites protest Watchtower headquarters- Governing Body flees
by Esse quam videri inpandemonium broke out at the headquarters of the watchtower bible and track society as hundreds of former bethel workers protested being released from their assignments and told to vacate the premises.
the governing body members barely escaped the wrath of the mob, some without the shirt on their backs.

JWs and Education
by cognac inmy parents were always of the belief that, "the end is right around the corner".. i was a zealous kid, with a learning disorder, so my parents never gave me a hard time or pushed me in regards to my education.. this not only hurt me, but, pissed me off insanely.
fast forward to me having my own kid.
ava is not doing well in school.

You have to admit, the carrot is pretty alluring.
by John Aquila inthere were several families that were visiting my mom today and i was sitting in and just listening to all of them talk..
they started talking about the recent shooting at the university.
and its so easy for them because all they have to say is;.

"Very Soon ......" the infamous witness Mantra -
But in the interim we wont lift a bloody finger to try and improve the lot of people on this planet - we will leave that to the worldly people to do while we await the big A which will then kill them off in a horrific manner - by way of thanks for all their "fine works" .....................................

On a need to know basis - The Letter
by no-zombie inwe've just had our sunday meeting and the letter was read out to the congregation.. however, there was no mention of the bethel lay-offs or the building program shut-downs.. looks like we are on a need to know basis, here in australia..

But there have been huge layoffs - I am still trying to establish the exact number from the South African Bethel which is one of the larger Bethels as it serves a huge territory - allegedly about 500 laid off. -

fukitol - Hi - I think you are merely expressing your disappointment but in a way which makes it come across as if you are accusing members of this forum for not being up to scratch re the AGM - so you are being grossly misunderstood - You need to restructure your words differently. -

Does the AGM continue today ?
Must say it has not been all that exciting this year ! More like a case of ED imho !

The letter did not have anything to do with Bethel layoffs no-zombie . It merely outlined the new meeting format - -

The final section of the Life and Ministry Meeting is entitled Living as Christians. This section begins with a song.
The next 15 minutes of this section will consist of one or two parts designed to help us apply God’s Word.
Then there will be a 30-minute Congregation Bible Study.
Thereafter, up to three minutes may be used by the chairman to review the meeting and preview material to be considered the following week. Any necessary announcements may also be made at this point. Expressions of praise to Jehovah in song and prayer will conclude the meeting.
