Bet you anything, within 2 months, after the GB boys have to wait on themselves you will see worldly businesses, cleaning and food prep, going in there..

I hear in NY Bethel all the brothers and sisters are getting 'trained' to clean their own rooms and do their own laundry.
Many housekeepers have already been kicked out, the last ones will be gone soon.

So, what does a person DO up at any of those places ? if I remember correctly, there was an announcement made years ago that they were not taking any more applications for persons to go to bethel, so who goes and why if all funding for projects are being cut? for all that matter they never needed printing facilities, they could have paid a company to print stuff up for crying out loud and never built a factory for printing. Ive always been confused by all that whole purpose of that big complex in new york and wallkill -

Its the largest printing organisation on earth, in the most languages by far. They couldnt pay someone to print that much in that many languages, well whoever took on such a large job would need branches as large as all the Bethels around the world.
But since tablets are becoming more widespread, less printed material needs to be printed.
We are encouraged now to be totally paperless at the meetings, songbook bible study material everything on the electronic screen instead of paper.
Thus the cutbacks on printed material and then all the support departments.
Most bethels around the world will just be translating work and the support departments they need, but much smaller now its mostly electronic.

Im surprised nobody has posted about one of the largest ew changes, the new reporting system.
So it seems placing literature is not so important anymore, now that we live in a digital age.
We are being pushed to show videos instead. This is the new reporting from next month, just hrs and ANY literature placed in one box and then how many videos you showed in another box.
Big changes for sure.

Per Tony Morris in his U.S. Zone meeting talk, addressing over 1.1 million JW's:
Sister's were warned that a male (brother), age 23 or older. Not currently serving as an MS or Elder. Would NOT make a suitable marriage mate.
So, any brother's over the age of 23 and not a servant, would now be viewed in the congregation in a negative light. Even if he is a nice humble brother, unless he is serving, he is a nothing to the org.
Since this talk, there has been no changes made to Tony's comment. It has become a new policy. This was done to use guilt and peer pressure to get more brother's to reach out!
