bohm - My attempt to confirm this from a "friend" of 6 decades !!!!!! resulted in me being told that we would no longer be needing to communicate with each other !
[2015/09/26 06:07:20 AM] Me: Hi XYZ - Has ABC mentioned any readjustments regarding activity at the RSA Bethel or even overseas Bethel homes?? eg asking some of the Family to leave etc/
[2015/09/26 04:03:34 PM] XYZ: Some have left to take up special assignments in the field where there is a need. Why do you ask?
[2015/09/26 04:08:53 PM] ME : I heard of some being sent home from NY and UK Bethels and some fairly far-reaching adjustments in the Admin etc at Bethel - Have the ones who left done so cos they wish to leave Bethel or were they asked to move back into the field?
[2015/09/26 04:10:11 PM] ME: Is there construction underway at RSA Bethel?
[2015/09/28 12:55:31 PM] XYZ: We have news about these things in the meetings from time to time. Are you attending the meetings?
[2015/09/28 03:21:15 PM] ME: The news about the layoffs has not been announced at the meetings ! Its a simple question XYZ- Now go back and examine the interrogative nature of last your question to me ! Does it bear any relation to my initial question about people being asked to leave ? Now ask yourself "What was my motive in asking the question in such a manner? " - "What do I wish to achieve by it? " ...................
XYZ : I do not like the way this conversation is heading and will terminate it now!
[2015/09/28 05:01:39 PM] ME: Finis! I shall not bother you.
Oh ...I am from South Africa
