  A question was asked in another thread about what spin the GB would put on the current financial situation - from what I hear in this tread the strategy was to ignore it. I am a little surprised.

  Effect on youths of Bethel and construction cuts

  by Tornintwo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know quite a few youths (late teens to early twenties) who have the goal of full time service, as bethelites or international construction, so they're doing the required slog of pioneering in order to achieve this goal.

  this is a goal which has been excitedly set out for them the last few years or so at assemblies etc.

  now they see the cuts, surely they are going to be discouraged and disillusioned.

  It is better for them to be disillusioned early in life. They have their whole lives ahead of hem.

  Has anyone thought of the spin that the "society" will put on bethel layoffs?

  by Lied2NoMore in

  first, how about a joke?.

  what do you call someone who just turned apostate?.

  im thinking sometime in the future the society will put a spin on what is happening similar to what has been done in the past.. they will say apostasy once again reared its ugly head in the organization and layoffs was the only way to "cleanse" the organization.. once disgruntled ones begin to use their voice, they will be forced to strike back with some spin to make all those who have the guts to complain look like they were the problem.. good theory huh?.

  Isn't the annual meeting today? This will see what the official spin is. Are there any trolls at the meeting to give us the insider's view?

  Simon, this has to be good for the apostate business. I suppose the traffic to this site and other evil apostate sites are through the roof.

  JWdaughter, whoever is in charge is not doing a good job. It appears that they actually believe their own hype. If that is true, they are destined to failure.

  Based upon what I see, the recent events are not part of a master plan, but are the result of very poor planning. The new GB has proved to be brainless strategic thinkers. The whole idea of "relying on Jehovah" to make a decision is not good management or the basis for a strategic plan.

  Shame on them - but they get what they deserve.

  i went and visited a longtime elder and friend of mine today in a nearby congregation(its been about 4 months since we talked).

  i told him a friend in brooklyn told me some big changes are coming and that a letter was to be read to all congregations this sunday.

  he tells me that he check his mail on tuesday and didn't see anything.

  Bethel Layoff Notices arrive under Bethellite doors

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just heard from a reliable source that some at the canadian branch have received their lay-off notices under their doors at bethel.

  don't know what the letter looks like.

  probably something like, " the tribe has spoken, bring us your torches"

  I am sure the message was - "have a great life, continue your service to the organization, Jehovah will provide. And, don't let the door hit you on the way out."

  Template to dump Special Pioneers

  by avaddohn94 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  The last paragraph is priceless:

  "So, be confident Jehovah will supply your daily needs"

  So send your bills to the big J, because we are no longer paying anything.
