  David Splane says at 28:00 'Our God loves us and he will never allow his people come to harm'.

  Yet, in a confidential letter addressed To All Special Full-time Servants At Bethel And In The Field, dated August 6, 2021, they stated that nearly 20,000 Jehovah's Witnesses have died.

  Interesting, except for in Africa, there's basically no children back at the hall, during this 'pilot program', their at home.

  The GB will do whatever it takes (good or bad) to keep the earthly org functional.

  " God loves us and will never allow his people to come to harm"

  That is a rallying slogan .... like a general firing up his troops by saying " For King and Country we stand and will always be victorious!"

  Nobody takes that really literally. Everyone knows that casualties occur and the outcome is uncertain.

  Its just words, padding and filling .

  NB.. if you believe Splane, with his record of spewing bullshit , - you'ld believe anything.

  Watched the full thing on the JW site.....

  Now , I am a fully vaccinated, mask wearing , social distancing person and an advocate of these things BUT for him to say (in flowery terms) that to follow taking such measures is following the direction of God and Scripture is a missaplying of those Scriptures.

  He says to listen to him and his seven companions is to listen to God.... disobey and be disobedient to God.!

  I call that blasphemy.

  God let “his people” come to harm in Malawi, Nazi Germany, Russia, etc. So this statement would only make sense if he said “from now on” his people will not be harmed. Basically , anything that comes from the pie holes of the GB is 💩.

  ''David Splane says at 28:00 'Our God loves us and he will never allow his people come to harm'.''

  
  

  some how I stumbled across this thread.

  
  

  But, then how come we hear AM3 passing condolences for the 25,000 plus 'brothers and sisters' who have perished because of the pandemic?

  Does the GB make any sense.?

  Well, when you're supposed to obey instructions 'whether they seem practical from a human standpoint or not',,,well it shouldn't make any difference.
