    So a good friend of mine e-maild me today with this information.  Aparently brother Hurd says as of 2010 all the magazine printing and distribution will be moved to Canada.  The only printing the US will do is the books.  Now I didn't check the boards to see if this info is already on here (I'm still pretty knew) but wanted to pass it along.  What is going on?  It seems for decades nothing happens and the minute I get out everything happens!  Oh well, at least we get to hear about it first!....wildflower

    Funny I just logged on to  post this very  topic.

    Yes I have also heard the same thing. The word is that the Canadian Bethel will be doing all the printing for the whole of North America. They are getting ready to put together a new state of the art printing press/presses. Apparently the work will be non stop and bethelites will be working overtime, shifts and double shifts.

    Something  is up. Seems like watchtower is running from something. Are there more legal woes coming down the pipes and are they trying to protect their assets by transferring things to other countries? I wonder what the scoop is.

    I wonder how the environmental regulations differ in Canada, or if there is a better deal on shipping- look for the $$$

    As far as environmental regulations in Canada go if anything they're stiffer, and as for shipping costs, they are about the same or even a bit more.

    I thought they just bought a huge plot of land In New York State that they were going to develop.

    It wouldn't make sense to close down the Printing production in the States since the the States carries their widest amount of circulation

    of their literature. More and more people though are getting clued in to their dirty deeds, that may also include the law societies in the US and abroad.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they moved totally out of Brooklyn New York since their buildings there are aged and out dated and their value is tremendous.

    omg... this really is big... and as always... waiting for confirmation to hear if this is true!  It certainly makes sense to me, they will have PLENTY of money once they sell that NY property!

    Bingo, Sir, I think we have a winner!

    Aha!  Free health care! 

    But I thought the end of the world was imminent.  What's the need for health care?

    Dont forget the French Bethel closed (that was due to taxation issues) and the remaining Bethelites moved to London Bethel - free health care and generous tax laws in Britain. It totally makes sense to me - but then I am a cynic

    Not surprising. This organization is a corporation, and it's clearly acting like one. A corporations only focus is to exist. It has no morals or standards. No one in the corp is indespensible. A corporation will survive. Regardless of the opinions of the minions who praise allegence to it

    Hi AwildFlower,

     

    The topic was recently discussed on the board. Nevertheless, its possible some might have missed it . By recycling the thread once again, it help new ones to catch up.

    Thanks

    I hope that, once Canada realizes that the Washtowel Babble and Crap Slaveholdery Corporation is doing this solely to usurp value (in the form of free health care), that Canada will quickly pass needed laws to prevent them from doing that.  The religion is a parasite and has to go--it is producing negative value wherever it goes.

    The sooner Canada (and Britain) bans this cancer, the better off all of us will be.  And, they need to make sure that when people are dropped from Beth Hell, they have cumbersome paperwork to fill out detailing why (and, if it is because the person is getting old or broke some stupid rule, they will have to take care of that person for life, paying them enough to support themselves and helping them find a regular job that pays in the 50th percentile or higher in their nations.  They have gotten away with throwing people away too long--or paying them crap to special pio-sneer (by my calculations, only around $4.28 an hour without putting anything into Social Security).

    Do minimum wage laws even apply with this religion?

    Sounds like health care to me.

    BTW, Britain Branch deals with the printing and shipping of literature to Central Africa. I don't have my old note book to hand, but at one of my last CO visits we were told how much it costs and it's serious ££££££££.

    How long will it be before Africa is cut out of the loop?

    :::::::::::::::::

    The move from France had nothing to do with that, but was due to the fact that the government partly seized control of it because they claimed a 60 % tax on all donations that had been made to the WT for the last 5 years.

    Re France : Seems like 'taxation issues' and 'seized control of it because they claimed a 60% tax on all donations' might be the same issue, OH. Did I miss something there?

    As far as the move to Canada - makes perfect sense. There are likely some big legal issues behind all of this. Heathcare is a big legal issue in today's world. They just can't get away with sweatshop mentality now I suppose.

    Wonder why Jehober hasn't stepped in and provided in this matter for them? Must feel like they are being chased out of Jerusalem to them.

    Thanks stilla, would have never thought of the healthcare issue, but that makes so much sense.....no need to carry that overhead expense. 

    Sort of on an aside, it amazes me that one can get healthcare from the government, but then try to direct ones care (ie no blood).
