Once a month about 15 to 20 elderly JW publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view JW Broadcasting. These publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long –time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet. They are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.
Last night they announce in my old hall that the brothers would not be assigning anyone anymore to show JW broadcasting and so, it was the responsibility of these elderly ones to get the internet and take classes and learn how to use it to view JW Broadcasting.
A couple of the elderly sisters who are widowed were crying because they felt they were being left behind by Jehovah. A couple of the elders sat the sisters down and told them that Abraham was over a hundred years old when he had to raise a child and he did not cry about it. They were told that they were lacking in faith and they needed to correct that.
After the lecture, the elders asked the elderly sisters if they could make some meals for the pioneers during the pioneer school. They gave them a list, turkey the first day and a Roast the next day.
My mom who was telling me about it was very upset. I told her, “Mom, don’t feel bad, wasn’t it the other way around during Jesus‘s time? Jesus the real pioneer, provided a meal for 5,000 men women and children who were not pioneering. So if they really want to imitate Jesus, then the pioneers should provide meals for you and all your elderly friends.”
She was furious. Today she called one of the elders and told him she could not provide any more meals, -- to get someone else to cook. For the first time she has refused to provide a meal to the pioneers. She said she will never do it again.
She is finally starting to see the hypocrisy and lack of love.
Are the Kingdom Halls cancelling showing JW Broadcasting at the Kingdom Hall?
