  guys .

  a letter was just read in out kh stating that all printing of wt and awake is ceased for the coming year and we will just place tracts on fs, countries which were cared by our branch will be cared by other countries...along with this they read the new fs form and stuff about reporting links of videos wtf..lol.

  i can't tell which country perhaps that will give away a lot, any one with a similar information.

  Shutting down the cash flow from Watchtower only affected JW India. What India has accomplished is not as far off from Russia as you might think.

  You do get it. That's exactly what has been and is happening. Send Brooklyn your money and take care of your own needs.

  India does not want Christianity. They will pick off sects like Watchtower any way they can.

  No. Watchtower could no longer send "funding" to India's branch. At the outset they asked congregations to monetarily care for the suspended bethelites and special pioneers. But almost immediately after they asked that that money be sent to Headquarters instead so that Headquarters could determine how best to make use of the donations. This flipped out many Indian JWs. Why send money, ignore the bethelites and pioneers, when we know we will never see any of that money return?

  Brother Tim Horton, the new service overseer

  stopped in tim horton's ( a donut shop) at 10:00 a m today and there were no less than 12 jws in there from three different car groups.

  it took about 25-30 minutes for them all to get their orders and get on their way.

  that's almost 6 hours of service time in the glorious 'ministry'.

  Yet they will all count the hours on their "time slips" anyway. 8 million door knockers, billions of hours, and nothing remarkable to speak of for the effort, accurate reporting or not.

  Years ago the Government of India through the finance ministry withdrew the license that the WBTS had to receive foreign funds. It was commonly acknowledge that the funds were stopped because WBTS did not carry out any charitable works, as listed by the government to claim tax exemption. As a result WBTS stopped shipment of Bibles, bound volumes, cassettes, and a huge list of publications. Several hundred bethelites and special pioneers were dismissed.

  The opening post seems to be an extension of what has already been taking place.

  What the GB/Lawyers Should Be Worrying About

  perhaps this was touched on in another thread so i apologize if it was ( i don't get to read all of the posts on here all the time) .

  who leaked that october letter that was read about the midweek meeting restructuring and reduction in magazines?

  it only could've been someone fairly high up in the organization or someone in the it department that converted it to pdf format, or someone from a branch that is in charge of digital correspondence, translation, etc.

  To hear Watchtower lawyers in court desperately blathering on about the breeches of their private "copyrighted" correspondences made available to the public by internal saboteurs, you would think they are the Pentagon.

  Gauging by the parking lots on Sunday, the Tabernacles are killing it compared to the Kingdom Halls and its most of the day. And its Los Angeles, not Utah. ;) AND every Mormon family seems to have at least 4 kids in tow. Nothing remotely close for the JWs. That fact alone, along with the JW 33% retention rate, logically points to growth for the Mormons outpacing the JWs. Don't you think?

  Growth rate and baptism are nearly identical between JWs and Mormons. The blaring difference is Mormons accomplish the task with 60,000 door knockers instead of 8 million.

  Awake 4/22/1970.

  “Tell me,” he asked, “how can I have confidence in anything? How can I believe in the Bible, in God, or have faith? Just ten years ago we Catholics had the absolute truth, we put all our faith in this. Now the pope and our priests are telling us this is not the way to believe any more, but we are to believe ‘new things.’

  How do I know the ‘new things’ will be the truth in five years??"
