i have from a safe source that the bethel branch office in austria, ireland, italy and switzerland are closing down in the near future.
most of the business will be taken care of from the german bethel.
nothing is said thru official channels yet, but there is no reason to doubt my source.. can anyone tell more about this topic?.
It's a trend now and not onl in Europe. My sister told me a week ago that they are closing the branch office in the Dominican Republic. What I found a little bit queer is that the Branch office in France is supposed to take care of the Dominican brothers...

i joined this site a good few years ago for the support it offered, and i received an overwhelming response, questions to my answers, suggestions on which books to read, life advice.
i then fizzled out for about a year and proceeded to become an active member later on and again it was great, finally got to actually meet someone from here, which was great, he'll be a friend for life, i have had lost friends *dansk i remember you with fondness still*, have seen drama unfold, but i think that time has rolled around once more.. the season has changed and it's time for to say my cheerios.. .
thank you to all that have been so wonderful.
Wish you all the best LouBelle!
Take care,

was there an official or unofficial reason that anyone knows of?.
it seems to me that pretty much every publication was studied at the book study, but we never did that one..
...yes I can remember now, this man came to the conclusion that buddhism must be the true religion after reading "our" book!!!lol

We never studied this book in France and I can understand why. A sister told me that after reading this book her ex-husband told her he had found the truth. I think it was an East Asian religion!!!!(can't remember which one it was).

hey folks, does anyone know which wt article talks about how babies will be killed as in the ones that were killed at sodom and gomorrah and the flood?.
i'm drawing a blank completely what article it was in.. thanks in advance everyone!.
Isn't there an illustration in one of the publications of the rising flood waters, a rock sticking up out of the water, ark in the background safely floating away... on the rock were people trying to climb to safety...and for some reason I remember a woman clutching a baby as the waters rise...
@ Undercover :
It's the old bible story book. It's a very shocking illustration for children. I remember my little girl asking if the baby is gonna die. I don't know what I answered. But children are so innocent/logical. When you have children, you start seeing many things differently.

my wife and i took a trip yesterday to deliver her camera to her mom so she may take it with her as she goes to kentucky where the need is greattm.
her mom is currently still in virginia staying with some brothers there while she gets schooled in giving talks (at least i think that is what she is doing).
i met the co's wife at the petersburg kh and after we dropped the camera off, my wife and i went to have dinner before returning home.. i ask about circuit overseers and their role because i was intrigued to learn that the kh we went to had an apartment for the co.. apparently, co's have no job of their own outside the watchtower activities and while my wife insisted that they did not 'take a vow of poverty' like the catholic clergy do, they technically do.
The wife of our last CO really prayed not to be sent in a territory they had been years before. And try to guess where they sent them...
She really wanted to cry but accepted it as Jehova's decision in order to mold her.
Poor thing...

so what do you guys think the next major lie will be?
or should i say wt light getting brighter teaching?
they had to change 1874 to 1914 since it didn't have anything to be backed by but 1914 they at least based it on 537bc minus this plus that blah blah blah we got 1914 (hide the pyramid measurments) :) if 1914 comes and goes they will have to do something major!
It's interesting this thread was written one year ago ie before the new generation teachings. We had our last DC and it was funny to see how the brother was struggling, trying to explain the new generation (with the now very famous Br. Franz and new anoited brother being in one overlapping generation).
I then asked my husbands if he thinks that they will give up 1914. We had an interesting discussion in the car and I could give him a good apostate witness. He his determined not to do too much in this cult also he said he is waiting on Jesus and Jehova...
