WT about elder positions

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

yesterday, visited the hall for family reasons.. wt was about elder positions, educate younger brothers, delegate your work etc.

the usual story about the body of elders, give younger people a change and don't get atached to your position.

what was evident: 90 percent of the answers came from the sisters.. the elders looked like the house cat just eaten tweety.. never heared so much theory and knowing it will be fully ignored.. why make it a 45 minute issue for every tom, dick and harry?.

I suspect much of this study was aimed at those in Special Full-Time Service. Application on the local level was incidental, secondary and a cover for the true intent.

Why else mention Peter, once "overseer of the Service Department", and Paul who took over? The local friends have no clue what the Service Department does. Those in special fulltime service Know that Service is who calls the shots, right behind the Branch and GB.

This whole mag. was subtle jabs at malcontents within Bethels around the world.

"Paradise Lost" and "JWs in Divine Purpose" -- PDFs!

by cabasilas in

i received a request for pdfs of from paradise lost to paradise regained (1958) and jehovah's witnesses in the divine purpose (1959).

these are pdfs that have been around for a few years, so some here may already have them.

the only difference is these have bookmarks added to them to aid in finding info quickly.

Richard Oliver is right. I can personally confirm the Citi bank account thing from my time. I wonder if Citi has a branch near Warwick? ATM at the commissary/Gen.Serv.?

Are congregations in Spain suffering an increase in banking fees since Watchtower 'seized' their bank savings?

by jwleaks in

remember a few years ago watchtower literally 'siezed' all individual congregation bank savings around the world above what was needed to cover basic kingdom hall monthly expenses?

a new march 30, 2017, boe letter has just gone out to congregations in spain, which, more or less, explains that congregations bank account funds no longer entitle congregations to reduced banking fees.

(see copy of actual paragraph below.).

New letter about Circuit Conventions accounting procedures

by Hecce in

i hope that one of the friends will post the letter soon.

i heard that on 3/27/2017 a letter with new instructions about the accounts at the circuit conventions was released.

the letter seems to adopt many of the corrections that had been suggested here at the forum, among other things during the accounts report they will be no mention of the per capita and the amount due is going to be released only to the elders.

I will have to re-read the letter, but this looks like a branch specific letter that has the aim of clarifying their policy.

For example, at Circuit Assemblies, the Per Capita rate is never supposed to be announced. The fact that this letter dated 03/27/2017 mentions to not do that, in bold, may mean that some had actually announced it! Ha!

Also, the inclusion of initials "SDF:SDD" before the date, indicate that this was drafted at the branch level. I don't know the boys down in Texcoco well enough to tell you who that is, but those are the initials of the Bethelite who drafted the letter and his assistant who typed it.

Very interesting stuff. It only further confirms how Assemblies are a cash making scheme for the Org.

Si sobran fondos y la cuenta del circuito sobrepasa los fondos que excedan el objetivo de saldo, se donará a la obra mundial el sobrante

All excess funds go to the "world wide work".
