I can’t help but think it’s really exciting right now, this “new light.” But as the months and years go by how can one not think “what was the point of all those hours over all those decades?”
we always said here either it stays with more control with small numbers or it becomes more mainstream to retain what it has.
I just can't believe this!!! It can't sink in.
Every 6 month kick in the a$$ by a CO,,,the measuring stick and to guage someone ""spiritually"" was none other than their ''precious hours"".
From being appointed to MS or elders,,,to marry someone,,or being friends,,invited out,,,was always based on ones hours.
Just awestruck!
This is the death knell of the door-to-door service. It's over.
This is going to mess up the annual Service Year Report. They will have to miss off the "Total Number of Hours Spent in Field" statistic.

I always thought the death knell of the door to door of FS was soon to be with the GDPR in parts of Europe.
Perhaps this is something to do with it.
The nail in the coffin to FS door to door.!
End of one of the control systems in this sect.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the rationale for the reporting requirements that they were necessary in order for the organization to conduct the witnessing work efficiently?
If so, either that was a lie or the GB no longer cares about witnessing efficiency.
On further thought, I would expect the organization to stress that this change doesn't mean there should be less field service.
I expect something like this: "Brothers, just because field service reporting requirements have changed doesn't mean we should flag in zeal. If anything, the amount of our door to door witnessing ministry should be increasing given that this may be the last chance for our family, co-workers, and neighbors to come into the truth before the fiery storm of Armageddon is upon us. If we truly love Jehovah and love our neighbors as ourselves..."
Oh to be a fly on the wall of some former friends…
