Has there been an official justification for getting rid of the TMS? Isn't this where skills are developed? I always thought this was an important meeting. Have they just abandoned teaching new speakers? Or is this irrelevant in the electronic age?

Meeting changes - just sad, pathetic
by sir82 inok, so let's say you're on the gb.
for years, you've been getting hundreds of reports from your hired ss agents, er, cos, about poor midweek meeting attendance, people not showing up for talks, crappy teaching from elders, etc.. so, you make the determination - ok!
here's a couple of choices:.

Our CLAM meeting (vid): SELF-NEGATION is the first "treasure" from first meeting segment
by Gilgamesh inin the first sample video of the clam meeting (christian life and ministry) at about 5 minutes, 50 seconds in, a brother (steven phillips) is assigned the first segment of the new meeting, "treasures from god's word.
" ( http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwbrd_201510_5_video ).
he shows just how sloppy the wts still is at trying to explain the deeper meanings of scriptures.

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 ini 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 infirst, 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? -

were you expecting a "but"?

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.
