If I understand it correct, then these languages have:
3 instead of 6 WT (public edition)
and
3 instead of 12 WT (study edition)
Seems to me, the rank & file gave not enough money for translation offices/houses, so they have to reduce it. Or the 25% less Bethelites worldwide could not handle all the translation work. Or the rank & file gave not enough money to the WT and insteed of stopping the production (like India) they reduced the amount of WTs.
just found this site and still finding my way around.
seeing if there are any old acquaintances here from the areas above.
i and my wife were in those cities till around 1989. drop a note if you were too or know us.
Welcome on board. Nice avatar - seems - you are a petrolhead like me :-)
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.
Thanks a lot for sharing this info - including the country.
wanted to say hi.
i've been lurking for a long time.
i also spend time on other forums.
firstly, there are cash flow problems in wt town.
i don't think it's necessary to list all the cutbacks and layoffs, but there have been many.. their thirst for money seems higher too in my opinion.
more entitled may be a better way of putting it.
do you hink 10% tithing coming?
NO.

WHY DO THEY LEAVE?
The reasons that people give for abandoning the churches are many and varied. Some in West Germany do it in order to be relieved of paying the church tax. More often, however, the reason involves changes in Roman Catholic teaching in recent years. These have confused many persons who thought that they had the true apostolic religion. As one Catholic priest in the United States put it: “If the things the Church has said in the last ten years are true, then everything it said for the last 2,000 years is false.”
just received two emails .
recently, it was announced that the warwick whq project will be completed by september 1, 2016. with a little less than 10 months left to go on the project, the construction project committee recently met with representatives from all eleven warwick construction groups throughout the u.s. the purpose of this meeting was to determine what can be done to more effectively continue the wonderful progress being made.
as a result, it has been determined that, for the duration of the project, all warwick construction groups will focus on sending experienced, skilled tradespersons who have regularly worked in their trade(s)in a secular environment.
ToesUp
Didn't they have an article about Brothers/Sisters leaving their wives/husbands and families for a time period to go to work in another state or country? If I remember correctly, the branch did not speak favorably of a man/woman leaving her/his wife/husband and family to do this. I believe they insinuated that the brother or his wife may be put in a precarious situation while they were apart. As usual, if it is to benefit the WT, the same rules do not apply.
HYPOCRITES!!
Here it is - the study WT from April 2014:
for the last few days i was discussing with a colleague of mine at work about the stock market and how some people, even when losing money, they will hold onto their shares because someone said they will rise again.
this may lead to lost opportunities or even losing all their money instead of de-risking and offsetting loses by buying another stock, in other word jumping ship.. this got me thinking about jws (knowing that i am still in).
took one step back and looked at our family and what we have done by sticking to this religion.
One brother in our congregation was setting his JW "stopp-loss" for the year 1975.
He said: If there is no great tribulation until January the first of 1976 - I am out.
He ist out since this date. He understood the stockmarket (great analogie Da.Furious)
those of you who read my last post, about two weeks ago, know i'm in a dilemma.
i did not run like some posts suggested.
i truly believe i found my soulmate.
My main question is what advise can I give her that would give her JW grounds to get divorced with hopefully no repercussions.
There is no ground for her under the described circumstances
wow, what a disturbing study article this was!
this was by far the most difficult study that i ever had to sit through.
just take a look at what the article has to say about how blood should be viewed according to our conscience:.
