@Data-Dog: They can sell newspapers, or chop coconuts too. :-p
Or maybe they can apply to the cleaning companies in charge of window washing the few high rised buildings that we have.
i'm from jamaica, montego bay to be exact.
if there are other jamaicans here, feel free to let me know.. with that said, it was announced at our last meeting (a letter was read) that the branch office (bethel) in kingston would be closing, and affairs would soon be directed from us hq.
now the branch office here is a large compound built on acres of prime real estate.

No doubt these events will be followed up by articles and talks along the subject lines of:
"Have more faith! Jehovah will provide!"
"Soon, the end will come!"
"Do you have a waiting attitude?"
"Avoid critical speech!"
"Are you looking for treasures in this system of things, or treasures in heaven?"
"Are you keeping up with Jehovah's chariot?"

Now the branch office here is a large compound built on acres of prime real estate. It's one of the most structurally sound meeting centers in the island, since when it was being built in around 1998 it was something many JWs have boasted about.
I had an opportunity to speak to 2 persons who have worked / lived there yesterday. They are both shocked beyond belief :-)
They are wondering what will happen to JWs who have spent many years there with little formal education, no financial plan in place, and high dependency on the org to provide everything for them.
I have inside knowledge that there was alot of WASTE was going on there. Poor energy conservation, over spending on lavish meals etc.
Some have already begun concluding that 'the end must be really close' for them to do something like that.
At this point I'm not sure whether a move like this is due to the society suffering financially, or just trying extra hard to rake in more profit.
Has a similar letter been read in your country recently? Let me know.

it's amazing though how many witnesses lack the ability to scrutinize the information presented, and go check the data for themselves.. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=206101939577972.

"Jonathan Polk This news program was aired Feb 16, 2011. With a quick google search of 2013 fastest growing religions you will see that as of Nov 2013 Islam and Hinduism are the cool kids on the block, that are growing the fastest. I absolutely do not endorse either, just stating the facts. Fastest growing does not equal truth!"
the nov 2013 km contains an article that is ridiculous in its level of minutae.. they focus on the word "because".
they tell jws to use the word "because" when explaining why they're at the homeowner's door.
writing department, you wrote an article on the use of the word "because"?
Sounds like the intro to a cheezy porno scene
I'm here because.........*pulls phallus out of pants*
the videos on jw.org are nauseatingly corporate and propagandistic.. the smiling blondes that are showcased - the big executives sitting at their thrones (authoritative.
desks).
the workers clad in their orange safety uniforms like so many worker bees in a hive.. the word "love" used over and over again.
Continuing on this course may be a good thing. Many JWs may soon realise that they are just #4,337,583 in a corporate structure.
new guy here so i thought i would make a brief introduction.. my exposure to the jw's is indirect, as i have never been a member; however my wife of 22 years grew up in a jw household.
her dad is the grand-pooba or whatever level of "elder" you call it for his kh.
her mom, sister, brother, and their spouses all died in the wool witnesses.
Welcome Oh Gawd!!!

the trailer for the noah blockbuster has been released (even superman and thor are more believable myths).. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frtlt3deydu.
many jws on my facebook page are clamoring to go see it believe it or not.
others are pointing out the 'inconsistencies' with watchtower doctrine.. having something visualized and plainly layed out before you is useful when dealing with unthinking persons.. do you think that seeing it will help some jws to crtitically think about things they have read and glossed over?

Do you think that seeing it will help some JWs to crtitically think about things they have read and glossed over? For instance, check out 1:25, where that mass of animals and insects are presented. I'm sure many haven't thought about the logistics of supposedly craming all the animals we know of today into one place, feeding them, cleaning filth, FEEDING CARNIVORES, catering to different types of diets, all done by 8 PEOPLE.
By the way, you should research Utnapishtim.
