I live in a country of predominantly dark skinned people, which had a horrible history with slavery. There were sparse responses and some strange looks as the material was being read yesterday.

28Major flub in Slavery Watchtower Study Article
by scotoma indo you ever wonder if the watchtower writers actually read the context of their key scriptures?.
they seem intent on perpetuating the idea that the jewish law was divine - perfect.. paragraph two asks the question "what would prompt an israelite slave to forfeit his opportunity.
to be free?".

@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.

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?"

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. 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.

"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!"
