long video i guess addressing the many hard feelings of people getting the axe at brooklyn and other facilities.. the gist is - thanks for your help, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
or scripturally saying - "keep warm and well fed"p.s.
they are admitting that the are letting older ones go.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbrd_201605_5_video.
There must be a lot of intensive fear rumbling through Bethel. I wonder is the Bethelites already know their fate; Can you imaging listening to this talk and not knowing if you are on the short list to go! Talk about stress.
What do they mean when they say "older?" Are they talking about kicking out those in their 50s and 60s? How about those in their 70s and beyond? Either way it is very sad.
cars, plasma tvs, shopping malls...all come from satan.

in an effort to reduce the number of posts, this year i will try to add links to this post.
now, on with the leaks & releases!
first up.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nzvwhflss4.
It took two tries but I was able to finally get through this cringe-worthy video.
I don't think the society has any concept of personal finance. How on earth could this couple own a well furnished home while they were both pioneering? I smell high credit card debt. It is highly doubtful that they could get under the mountain of debt to simplify lives.
It is much easier to get into debt as compared to getting out of debt.
But I am sure this video will be met with applause and tears when shown to the r&f.
so the big a comes, your third in line to be judged by jesus.
he wants to know why you left the organisation.
he also wants to know why jws remained with the org.
I would ask him to explain the overlapping generation.
I would also ask why a religion is the "one true religion" when I was lied to my whole life. How can lies and truth be part of the same construct?
don't normally waste time watching these but this one caught my eye as it was obvious what the subject matter would be about..... http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201604_2_video.
mark sanderson: accept change with faith and confidence (heb.
basically sanderson is giving a pep talk to all those that have new assignments changed.
Isn't Sanderson 50 or 51 years-old? Dude looks like he's pushing 70! ... And he looks like he's a pork chop away from a heart attack!
My thoughts exactly!.
a current jw told me there was going to be a special talk (tm) from the governing body(r) next month.
apart from the usual hilarious jw tv stuff, i haven't heard of anything.. any info any one?
the jw didn't seem to know much either.
when i was a teenager in the borg i was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister.
alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me.
i was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!.
i have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.
I remember they did this when I was an elder in the mid 90's. I thought they abandoned the forced compliance.
Looks like it is back.
the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!
--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.
a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.
can someone help me understand how the wt came up with the overlapping generation theory?
i just don't understand it even though i read the information several times.
it's bewildering.
