First thoughts on "new" meeting...

by konceptual99 in

had a quick look at the workbook and flicked through the sample meeting video.. the increased use of video shows the trend for more centralised dissemination of "best practice" .

sure there isn't really a "school" any more and the format is a bit different but i think those that called it as the same old crap just in new package got it pretty much right.

Where are the late arrivals?
Why isn't there anyone so tired from a hard days work that they are nodding off?

Because the Video was made around 11:00 AM until 12:45 PM

You can see the time on the ipads

The updated Organized book

by Richard_I in

friends

the updated organized to do our will book is now up.

i just skimmed through it very quickly and i think they are more lenient on reporting time now (p. 76):.

there are essential activities for which time is not counted, such as getting ready for field service, attending themeeting for field service, running errands, and so forth.

Roles of men and women (also children):

Page125:

Brothers should take particular interest in the home and its surroundings, knowing that a tidy yard and well-kept home make a favorable impression on others. This, along with their taking the lead in spiritual matters, is an indication that family heads are presiding well over their own household. (1 Tim. 3:4, 12) Sisters too have a responsibility to care for things, especially inside the home. (Titus 2:4, 5) Well-trained children do their part in keeping themselves as well as their rooms neat and clean.

there has been many threads from various posters around the world about recent bethel layoffs.. so far i remember threads about:.

south africa.

united states.

European Branch (selters in germany) will be reduced by 25%.
Means, 25% of older ones will be cut off.
Longtime goal: rejuvenating cure and save money - less service for bethelites (no room maids, reduction (simplification) in the dining room and kitchen etc.

Special-Pioneers who were invited for a limited time - will be cut off.

I don't understand this. What does "on time" mean in this context?

You get your assignment for a limited period. Only the special-pioneers with a "limited" assignment are canceld.

"Normal" special-pionieers are still in there asignment and older ones will not be laid off.

Stealth
Are they really letting the ones go that are 50 and older?

Bethelites - YES.
Special-Pioneers - NO.

Statement from higher up Bethelite:

A special-pioneer can get his assignment "on time" (limited).
(That's what I heard today for the first time.)

The Organisation removes "only" the temporary (on time) special-pioneers.

And yes - to save money.

"Wondrous Expansion is Now Taking Place..." oops

by cofty in

the organisation has always connected growth in numbers, publications and property with god's blessing.. they seem have set their themselves up for some difficult questions from the faithful.. pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

- proverbs 16:18.

I agree stuckinarut. Mormons have far out stripped the witnesses and they have done it with more outlandish doctrines and checked history.

AND without saying, higher education is bad.
