    Although not in print yet - 440 Bethelites reassigned, was the figure I heard from the platform as to how many Bethelites have been reassigned to the field in one way or another in the USA

    My family still in keeps telling me how this was a good thing, a way to help the congos. I wonder if the ones dumped into the real world feel this way?

    440 in 2008? I believe the total let go since the "downsizing" began is closer to 1400.

    440 Bethelites reassigned......does that mean those who accepted assignments as pioneers versus those who declined and got jobs at supermarkets...

    We all know how the WTS plays with words...

    Hmm? How was that mentioned from the platform? Was a letter read from the CCOJWs? During our SM this week there was no such news tidbit. I do have it on good authority that since the downsizing began in 2006 they have let approx 1400 go.

    My sister told me, when Dad died and she was allowed to speak to me, that the new congaroony that she is moving to is a "strong, spiritual, loving, conagroony." Several Bethelites are reassigned there you see.
