The behavior from the Org lately had me a bit confused, as it seemed to fall outside of their norm. I'm not talking the hardcore Armageddon wishers texting each other about peace and security, etc.* But, the elders contacting people daily, and having extra meetings where they have all their additional rules. They could care less for years, and now they are so "lovingly" trying to get everyone super active? (no t.p., shopping for elderly, food for elderly or anything useful, btw) On the other hand some are not contacted at all, and that made me ponder a bit too. Although, I must admit I just thought that they all know you are a dangerously mentally diseased apostate!^ But, I think you are cool. It got me thinking of the Narcisisstic Hoover, and I watched a video about it. It said it is hard to avoid, but think about the future faking from the past. In JW land that would be the paradise "carrot". She said, "You are in the future now. Are you where the Narcissist said you would be? Then why believe him now?" Anyway, she also said the trigger for the Narcissist to hoover (named because they try to suck back their victims) is feeling vulnerable and needy for some reason. It happens after a separation, and the GB were separated from a lot of their flock for a week or two, and they must feel vulnerable to this sickness since they are the target demographic. They, of course, felt vulnerable because a break means people leave. Then there is "never let a good crisis go to waste" and the sucking in POMIs just in case this is "the last of the last days". Remember in the early 90s, they were saying "we are deep in the time of the end". I wasn't going to link the video, but here it is. Let me know what you think of my thoughts and/or the video if you want. Thank you.

*Meh, IDK, since I believe a lot, not all, of this has it's roots in conversations with people at the branch starting rumors, and that comes from the top. I heard from someone who talked to a bethelite since this started that bethel is thinking this may be the beginning of the end, so there. ? Heresy I know,
^Complete narcissist discard.
ps. One rule on power is to get others to do your power play, and that is the GB using elders and COs.
