  i just texted a very good remote worker friend, said i heard that there is a reduction in force coming at bethel and i hoped he wouldn't be affected.

  he said its true, its not a rumor.

  Is the letter real? What does it mean for weekday meetings? they are just changing the format? sorry to be dense.....

  "Our Christian Life and Ministry Meeting: Beginning the week of January 4, 2016, congregations will have a new midweek meeting called Our Christian Life and Ministry. This one meeting will replace the three separate meetings currently being held, namely, the Congregation Bible Study, the Theocratic Ministry School, and the Service Meeting."

  You mean the midweek meeting actually counts as 3 meetings? aagh! I am all messed up! someone refresh my memory, thanks much. (Sunday still counts as 2 meetings right?) why does this even matter? you go to the kh for say 2 hours, normal people would count it as 1 meeting but then we count generations differently too.

  "Now they are dumped into the street, with a $600 monthly check and a mandate to preach 120 or more hours a month"--- What? can you elaborate? who gets $600 a month? ex bethelites? for how long?

  Is this basically what all the CO visits will be like coming up? Same topic? or do CO's have leeway in what their visit will consist of?

  Is there a 'generation history' for dummies posted anywhere? my timeline is all messed up now and can't remember all the changes going way back to present. There used to be a chart somewhere but I think that must be out of date now too. thanks
