well, my sister-in-law and her husband, special pioneers for only a couple of years, just got their letter.. her comment was along the lines of, "they're having to do this because they forgave all those kingdom hall loans a few years ago and the brothers aren't donating anymore.".

when my wife told me, i laughed so hard i farted.

;).

Cappy, What was their situation before getting "Specialed"? Did they give up nice jobs? Sell a house?

I bought property, not that far from Watchtower land in Warrwick NY.

by Dunedain in

i wound up buying 26 acres of land in upstate ny, a few years ago.

i bought it strictly as an investment, due to rumors of there going to be huge development of the area.

it seems like casinos, walmart, and tons of building have started in the area, or are now breaking ground, since i purchased it.

Liver & Onions day is the day that Bethel serves that for lunch. It is the most hated meal at the US Branch. Usually only 1/4 show up for that lunch, most only eat the sides. Even the Cooks will order pizza from off site!

Rutherford's Liquor
Pyramid Pizza

587 Cafe? Cutbacks Cafe? Ray's Coffee? New-Light Coffee!

CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

by JW_Rogue in

at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

Lol. We just had this meeting, and OUR C.O. said that we needed MORE RV's and MORE Studies (that aren't your own kids)!

If I owned any property close to a "Bethel" facility I would build 3 things.

A Beer/ Liquor Store (Fully Stocked & Staffed on Bethel Payday)
A Pizza place (Fully Stocked & Staffed on Liver and Onions day)
An internet cafe (No Bethel Spying on your browsing)

You could make bank on the Beer sales alone!

Welcome to Warwick Safety Orientation! Each Warwick volunteer is required to view the entire three-hour program and complete the five short quizzes one week before arriving at Warwick. To benefit fully from each of the five sections, we recommend that you set aside time in a quiet location with minimal distractions and give the program your full attention. When viewing the program, you will need a Bible, Working Together Safely—Safety Rules and Standards (S-109), a pen, and paper so that you can look up references and take brief notes. After viewing a section, please complete the short quiz for that section before proceeding to the next section. Please do not skip any portions of the safety orientation or quizzes.
If you have volunteered within the past year at any of the U.S. Bethel facilities (Brooklyn, Patterson, Wallkill, or Warwick), viewing the Warwick Safety Orientation in preparation for your upcoming assignment is optional. As a reminder, this orientation is for volunteers invited to the Warwick Project only. Thank you for giving attention to this important aspect of theocratic service.
