They probably are looking at how much money they save by eliminating the service hour bean counters at crooklyn. They can close up an entire department.

by BoogerMan inthis is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

The Watchtower made a mistake when they began limiting volunteers at conventions to ministerial servants and elders. Oh you could sit by a contribution box or clean a bathroom if you were considered worthy by the keepers of the holy grail, otherwise we don't want you. The tone was set moving forward then to the Fiefdom Hall where one's volunteer efforts were rejected unless the tenders of the holy sanctuary approved your application in advance.
Now they are begging those same people previously considered lowly, to do things. The tenders have been given the proverbial middle finger salute as the rank and file aren't interested.

Yes Ulys Glass for Acts. Bob Mackey from Tampa, Florida (now deceased). Forgot the name of the fellow with the British accent, the name Trevor Forbes comes to mind, but not sure.

Another gem from the latest Study WT!
by BoogerMan in"consider the example of oleg and irina, a married couple who serve as pioneers.
after moving to assist a congregation in another area, they lost their source of income because of the worsening economic conditions in their country....... one day when they returned home from the ministry, they learned that a close friend had traveled about 160 kilometers (100 mi) to bring them two bags of groceries.
oleg says: “on that day, we once again experienced the depth of jehovah’s care and that of the congregation.".

Oh yes two bags of groceries would sustain them and pay for their gas used in the dubs work of nothingness.
That two bags of groceries story has been floating around for years in various iterations. Never confirmed.

I'm certain the general populace from miles around will walk for days though crocodile infested waters just to view a 50 year old Watchtower or a tattered picture of Fred Franz on the platform in 1958 New York.

R & F JW's ARE agents of the org....
by BoogerMan in....despite the cult's denials.. w51 6/15 p. 378 par.
23 the spirit, the organization, and the word - his theocratic organization recognizes your authority from his word, the bible.
so it uses you as one of its representatives in the field and it co-operates with you, supplies your needs, and renders you assistance..

There was something written on this in recent years, I don't remember if it was a letter to the elders or some other tome. I recall that it was telling the dubs that they were not representatives of the Watch Tower or the local congregation but engaged in the preaching work as a function of their own volunteerism.
I recall when reading the info that I thought they are sure afraid of getting sued these days.
Maybe someone will dig up a quote. I looked but didn't find it on first go around.

"Jehovah Will Help You Deal With Life’s Uncertainties" - WT Study Edition | April 2023
by aqwsed12345 ini'm talking about paragraph 15 of this article:.
the title of the study article: "jehovah will help you deal with life’s uncertainties".
accordingly, does it count as an "unexpected difficulty" when it turns out that a prophet's declaration made in the name of god does not come true?

Given the Watchtower stance on miracles, how can they also push this thought that there is any divine intervention in our personal problems today?

Watchtower cashing in on the Hamburg tragedy?
by Listener inthank you very much atlantis for all your hard work and for emailing a letter written by the watchtower (coming from the german branch possibly) to be read out to congregations by elders.. there is so much wrong in this letter.
maybe some of it is due to being lost in translation but since the watchtower is predominantly english, it doesn't seem likely.
the letter is as follows -.

Likely the the next step is to announce that funds can be donated to the World Wide Work. Surely then all can take comfort knowing that the brothers in charge will be prepared to make the best use of donated funds.

Watchtower Museums
by eyeslice innow covid restrictions are over, they're pushing on with watchtower museums at many locations through out the world.. looks to me as if they'll be pretty boring.
a few old bibles and photos of the witnessing work from way back when.. one things for sure is they won't include anything relating to constantly changing doctrines or have libraries full of old publications that have since been swept under the carpet..
