  Letter to be read at meeting this week about the downsize

  by dropoffyourkeylee in

  a family member who is a bethelite informed me today that there is a letter to be read soon ( this week or next) concerning the downsizing.

  so probably someone who has their midweek meeting early in the week will be able to fill in the details.

  SIR 82- What I meant by HUGE wasn't that it will cause the JW's to change- however - it will get them to talking about the layoffs in a way that might get them to thinking with their non-cult minds if just for a minute causing some angst within themselves . I mean hell- if the child abuse lawsuits haven't changed them I don't think this will - but JW's love them a good rumormongering . So it will be huge in that it gets them talking about it all over the planet. I believe that is what I meant

  I haven't attended in about 13 years- but this will be HUGE if this downsizing is announced at regular congregation meetings. Oh of course the fanatic JW's will still make excuses for it like " getting more service time in " etc. - however- many JW's that are doubting the WT leaders sincerity at present will wonder WTF ? It will make them nervous and as all good JW's do- they will start talking among themselves about the cutbacks creating a self inflicting rumor mill of paranoia running around on the Internet, jw.org , blogs, tweeting, texting . I can see the rumor mill getting ready to amp up any day now. If you are a JW - it's what you do - gossip and spread rumors

  ~2300 in attendance.

  one day cost of $16,900!.

  this was at romeoville, which was built ground up in the 90's and was fully paid for by the illinois circuits!.

  Wow. I haven't attended in over 13 years - but this sounds like big time extortion of rank & file publishers to me ! Without any real proof of these alleged " expenses " - I wish to hell some " conscious class elders " who know TTATT would ream these WT leaders a new a-hole and sue for these supposed " expenses ". If you are out there and reading this - DO IT ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  Brooklyn Bethel Tours Through The Roof

  by freemindfade in

  was speaking with someone last night who just recently toured the us bethel's.

  the brooklyn tour i heard was awful, very limited and disappointing and conducted by a local pioneer and not even a bethelite.

  well from what they are telling the folks on the tour since the tm3 bit encouraging (guilting) people about going to disneyland on vacation when you haven't visited bethel, monthly tours went from 6000 to 16000!

  This is so cool. Let's ratchet up the old " fear & guilt " in the rank & file ( Thanks Tony Morris III ) and chastise them for going to Disneyland ! Pretty good. Then they'll get to visit an " empty Bethel " accompanied by a struggling regular pioneer trying to get his time in. I swear to God you cannot make this stuff up- WT leaders are SO weird. THEY are the ones who will cause this organization to collapse all on their own by their idiot actions. They don't even NEED our help as EX-JW's ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  just wanted to break the ice and write my first post here and also talk about some things that are bothering me.

  i don't go to meetings anymore and i have become inactive for years now.

  i don't believe the witnesses have the truth more than any other organized religion.

  DISTRACTED- Welcome to the board my friend. You are among friends who have been through similar experiences, myself included . I exited the Witnesses at age 44 after being a born and raised JW- believe me freedom of mind is sweet. Look forward to being of support to you in your journey my friend. Hang in there and take care

  The WT leaders are just TOO arrogant and prideful to ever admit that their ignorant handling of the finances of the organization has caused this deficit requiring cutbacks. WT leaders have NEVER admitted to mistakes - whether it's about their child abuse policies or handling of finances - because they act like they CANNOT be in error due to allegedly being appointed by " God's holy spirit " - thus in their own minds they are not only deceiving themselves , but deceiving over 8 million people to throw caution to the wind by extorting millions of $$$$ for WT leaders own purposes. To keep a 136 year old organization going at all costs. Even though it's not financially prudent. They don't give a shit. It's " let's steer this organization into a financial iceberg and see if it stays afloat " . " Jehovah " didn't protect the Titanic, he sure as hell won't protect WT leaders from making stupid decisions

  is prince still a jehovah witness?

  from the look of his new album, i think he has different ideas.

  it will be interesting to see how they deal with this.

  Prince, the Williams sisters, ANY celebrity JW's can pretty much get away with anything they want as long as they keep donating millions $$$ into the WT pedophile fund raising campaign. Oh, excuse me - I mean " kingdom interests "
