This newspaper article published in a capital news paper reports this including an interview with a Watchtower spokesman.
It seems that less than half of the bethelites will be transferred to the German branch in Selters that will supervise the work in Switzerland from 2011.Also, it seems that the branch offices in Austria and Luxembourg will undergo the same transition. The remaining bethelites will stay on in Switzerland, some will go on as full time pioneers.
thanks for sharing this inquiryman
I'll bet those displaced bethelites sure feel the love from the GB right now.
Wasn't it the Jehovah witnesses that told young people leaving high school
" Why put an application in a world that's goin' out of bussiness"
and encouraged them to go to bethel or to go serve where the need is great ?!?!
young people or people in general don't need to learn anything in college cause
you won't need to use what they teach !!!!! that reminds me, I have a doctors appointment
today, sure glad that doc went to school
Thanks for the translation!
why? the GB has a wonderful job for them!!! they will now be "special" piosneers!
these people should praise those, that have thought hard to give them a future!
Wonder if the Swiss Documentary that was aired on TV about the Jehovah's Witnesses and shunning/pedophilia has anything to do with it? I wonder if the Swiss Government is asking questions?

It makes me wonder why they really needed a Swiss Branch office in the first place...
Did it say how many individuals were involved?
maybe the WTS couldn't meet the strict neutrality standards of Switzerland?? LOL
Seriously, too bad they quietly close up shop. Knowledge of the "Kingdom's" increase decrease is powerful to those who feel that growth and expansion is a sign of God's blessing.

according to 'possiblesan' on his Japanese 2010 annual report it showed 116 branches, on the 2009 it showed 118. So two branches closed. But several are apparently in the process yet.
