The brother who over many decades had been the top-dog in Spain Branch of the WT, Antonio "Toti" Rodriguez was demoted as the head of the Legal Dept. and has been assigned a desk in the "Service Dept." at Ajalvir, (Spanish Bethel). Word has it that the recent ruling in Spanish courts against the Society over Social Security contributions and pensions for Bethel workers was the reason. It's going to cost the WT Society millions, but I'm sure they'll pass the cost down to the R&F as the letter from WT Headquarters to the Spanish congregations says making it seem like it was their idea, what a loving arrangement to provide for those who've worked so long in furthering Kingdom interests. But really didn't "Toti" try real hard to keep the Spanish Gov't from collecting Social Security and pensions for people employed at Bethel??? What a loving arrangement indeed, that you need the courts to force your hand.

Thanks for the update. It looks like Toti is the sacrificial lamb for the Watchtower's policies.

The Watchtower acts like any other large corporation.

I'm not sure that is a "demotion".
Doesn't "legal" answer to "service"?

Oh no....that is a demotion!!!.....Service... ick!
Talk about insult heaped onto injury! That is the 'WTS white collar' version of being given a janitorial position!
Wonder how long he is gonna be pushing a broom to show his humility, joyful obedience and appreciation of Mother?

yesidid, the elders are told to call Legal first when they have questions on child abuse, "call Legal, call Legal, call Legal" was the chant at my husband's last elder school....not call the service desk.

Service Dept. has got to be the worst, you have to lie to people all day long! Not just out in service. Randy

Ok, so I was going to make a new topic
post and I can't for 5 more hours.
So here's some bit of news from Spanish
brother. Sorry to resurrect an old
thread... but there's mention of Toti
in it too.
So here's the e-news. Toti is in serious need of applying the counsel from
the July Awake! on "Depresión". According to the rumor from Spanish
brothers. Not only him but several others. Things aren't going well for
Spain Branch right now.
But there's this bit of interesting news too. The WT is looking into making
some of its publications available on the Amazon Kindle. And there's a
new Insight / Reasoning being considered to update the "new light".
The new songbook has been in the works for nine years now.
Problems between different departments getting together on what
they wanted have stagnated the project several times.
There's going to be two songs explicitely earmarked for use at
wedding ceremonies, [which one to use, which one to use???]
But... No word on the molested bees... will they no longer suffer
beating off in new song book? I'm eagerly expecting an answer.
