Elders Call Off Meetings A Lot More Easily Than They Did Before For Inclement Weather

    The meetings were cancelled in this area with only 2 inches of snow for the "storm''. lol

    A month ago the CO had the meeting cancelled because it was a bit tracherous, which I thought was a good call....

    Years`ago, if we cancelled a meeting it took until one hour before the Presiding Overseer would finally decide to cancel.

    Today's JWs are wimps.

    What?

    Sounds like they're getting worldly.

    Search through the Bible.

    You never find Jesus or the apostles calling off a meeting because of bad weather.

    Just using a little WT-type reasoning...

    I always voted to err on the side of caution and cancel the damn meeting!

    It is so "normal" and "rational" to cancel a meeting due to any kind of weather concerns.

    It's not like someone will get paid less if they don't go, or will have to make up with extra meetings before summer vacation.

    They do so much, so calling it off for 2 inches of snow, icy roads, too much sunshine, a little rain, etc. etc. is a great idea.

    It is a new directive from WT headquarters,not the C.O. that in the event of a pedofile report or inclement weather they MUST call WT Legal to get direction.

    Don't you just love new light

    They announce plenty of meetings for field service before, during, and after the COs service week just to look industrious. At least half of them get canceled (text messaging) by the elders after the CO is gone due to a lack of time to oversee them.

    Anyway, it makes them look good though with the CO. Quite some players, the elders.
