First video from the convention is all about FEAR

    I asked her where she planned on going and she said Chelmsford. We will all hire congregation buses to get there. I asked her if she thought they would have facilities for 130,000+ permanent visitors. She thought they would have!

    Not only is that silly from the point of view of how scaled back the Chelmsford development is, it's also ludicrous to think a mass movement like that could be done without being noticed by "the authorities", assuming said "authorities" were bent on hunting down JWs.

    The Org has hardly been secretive about Chelmsford, so of course the local council, police, etc, know perfectly well where the site is, what is located there, what its capacity is, what roads and public transport lead there, and so on. And as the video shows, Witnesses are supposed to be travelling there with their mobile phones and tablets on, thus acting as perfect homing beacons for the authorities, should they wish to track these "outlaw" religionists!

    The whole idea is absurd, and not at all supported by Scripture, except as a flight of fancy extrapolated from the verse that speaks of going "into your interior rooms" to avoid the "denunciation".

    At one time this was interpreted to mean each Witness or family hiding in their own homes, then it was thought to mean the Kingdom Halls, but now they're closing many of those, it's back to some strange hybrid interpretation of groups in homes or other JW buildings.

    Built on a chemical waste dump?

    But I thought things were prayed upon to have "blessings""", so I always thought. To have. "Spiritual" guidance? I thought.

    I really like when they push this angle. It makes any fence sitters realize that it has nothing to do with the bible. It is just a batshit crazy doomsday cult. I really wish they would make more videos like this.

    I’m wondering…

    …in addition to the fear-of-everything factor, have they also dialed up the whole “be ready to do whatever we tell you, no matter how weird it sounds” thing?

    So? Where are they all going? They are ready, go bags packed, bikes, but where are they going? No more halls- sold off! Can't get to NY to new HQ's, so where?

    hell

    the gb is going to hell

    of course it's a figurative place

    but that's where the weeping and gnashing of their teeth will be

    while wt's "burned up" (dissolved, finances stripped, etc) & wt leaders lose their power

    I was actually asking if they’d genuinely escalated the rhetoric recently, or were we simply noticing it more since we’re out?

    But maybe the movie does kind of answer the question.
