Lots of Bethelites Not Happy With Downsizing
by Seeker4 ini had a long conversation last night with an old jw friend whose sister and brother-in-law are bethelites since the 1970s.
she is an artist, and he runs a small but important department there.. we were talking about the bethel downsizing (my friend was well aware of it), and i told him i figured his sister and b-i-l would be safe due to the fact that they are now in their 60s and have something close to 4 decades seniority.
but he said no, that they were worried that they would be asked to leave as well, sent into the circuit work or as special pioneers sent where the "need is great.".

I`m perplexed; What legislates for the gross lack of love?
by jambon1 ini`ve been out of the org for a while now and im perplexed about why there is such a lack of genuine live in the cong`s.
when you think about it, they are taught to exemplify jc, they are taught to exemplify the 'god of love'.
the brothers are constantly encouraged at ms & elder meetings to deal with the brothers 'lovingly'.

A Memo for my JW dad
by Lilycurly ini have been daed for months but only recently, after having asked every and each person he could ask (even writting a letter to the wt), my dad decided he couldn't talk to me anymore.
it has hit my non-jw mother very hard that her husband could do that.
she cries a lot, but we are trying to be strong and hold ourselves together, and try in anyway we can to make him open his eyes..... tomorrow, i have decided to leave the crisis of conscience book on his desk with a with page on it, written on big black letters that will say.... "i was wondering if every man would be capable of shunning his own children and break up his family because of a group of men.. then i realised that no, some men have chosen to open their eyes and *truly* follow jesus, example...... with love, your daughter".

it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.
