Zone Visit: An Announcement That Will "Test Your Faith" (page 9)

stuckinarut2

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We the Governing Body have realised that we are out of ideas to introduce in order to keep all you faithful ones following us blindly.

Therefore, we are initiating a new arrangement to enhance our "spiritual guidance" and control. If anyone has any good ideas, policies, doctines etc...no matter how "strange or unusual" please feel free to submit these to your local body of elders. These brothers will then in turn submit these to the local Circuit Overseer, who in turn will pass it along to the branch office and in turn to the Faithful and Discreet slave.

We are confident, that by use of this new method of 'chinese whispers', we will eventually come up with something that will keep yet another 'Generation' of faithful witnesses in line. We expect that you all will be most happyfied to give this new arrangement your wholehearted support, and that Jehovah will indeed hear your prayers and "pour out his spirit" on this arrangement.

We take this opportunity to once again to accept your love, worship and mindless addoration.

Your brothers and most holy ones,

The GB!

All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. - w13 11/15

Now that we have your curiosity up and you have made it to this monumental meeting we have absolutely nothing of significance to say or report thanks for coming and don't forget to visit the contribution box on your way out. Praise the faithful and discreet slave.

....could be wrong but I have a feeling it's going to be a child abuse spin. The cat is out of the bag now, and according to the attorneys there's going to be a slue of cases in the very near future.

I think tbecause they're losing lots of money and members. Any huge doctrine shift would put another dagger in the WTS.

Maybe the announce what we already speculated after the annual meeting of a "new 10 hour pioneer class."

This would test the faith of all those that are under 10 hours to become pioneers.

Darth Fader The Sequel

I think 3rdgen is onto something here.

bohm

bla bla satan bla bla evil bla bla worldly bla bla higher education bla bla test your faith amen.

How about making the announcement that a publisher who is innactive more than one year has "disasscociated himself" and is to be treated like he's DFed.

Yes, DFTS, 3RDGEN has an interesting hypothesis. . . .

Not so much a "test of faith" as far as how much more doctrinal bullshit you can handle. . . .

Or how much more money they want to squeeze you for. . . .

But they just want YOU. Your devotion. They want you serving them regularly, or you're out.

Governing body moving to Switzerland to avoid lawsuits? Finally..... a Bethel that looks like the "Paradise" pictures in the old publications? They can count all the money transfered to the Swiss accounts while enjoying imported tropical fruit served by the JW Sister with the basket on her head.

BOC, If the WBT$ would institue shunning inactive ones it would involve tens of thousands whose friends and family might not think deserve such a harsh punishment. The "test of faith" would be whether or not the flock would set aside their natural love and affection for a new rule they didn't agree with in order to prove loyal to the Borg and to avoid being DFed themselves for disobedience.

They will never, ever apologize or even hint at having a child abuse problem.

The inactive/DF thing is fun to think about. Poor faders might have to show up for KH serve-us once a year to keep their name on the books. Now wouldn't that be funny. I really think there is no way to really enforce that, keeping up with faders would be like herding cats.
