There's just so much fear and animosity planted in the minds of JW's. It's the constant implemented us vs. them mentality and paranoia runs supreme.
Perhaps it's all these things coming home to roost on the Borg. Shunning, hating dissenters. So much fear it's just all rearing it's ugly head.

No doubt this is causing a stir amongst the JWs a heightened persecution complex pitch..
Probably just expect more a$$emblies at a$$embly halls moving forward.
Nothing like this to ramp-up the fear and persecution.

Instead of 2 attendants at the convention doors,,,expect no less than 5 per door.
At more attendants than attendees.
There's so much hate, fear and paranoia amongst the JWs that there is little wonder why these things are happening.
Tragedy.
Public events are no longer safe.
Agreed.
so they mentioned noah couldn’t have preached to all the population back before the flood.
do you think they might start using common sense regarding not being able to get every animal type on the ark from the whole world?.
maybe the poor sloth from south america didn’t have to crawl all the way?
The "great global flood" is one of the key cornerstone beliefs of JW Borg theology for it to hold up.

All it takes is some elders or people in serve-us visiting infirm people in the hospital and they see you there also.
They can gossip and in comes the liason committee.

a legal bid by the jehovah's witness church to get out of being part of the royal commission of inquiry into abuse in care has been dismissed by the high court in wellington.. after nearly three years of behind-the-scenes legal wrangling to avoid scrutiny from the inquiry, the church applied for a judicial review in june.. at a hearing, held earlier this month it argued it was beyond the inquiry's scope because it did not operate institutions that cared for children or vulnerable people and the inquiry had uncovered no evidence of abuse in that context.. lawyers representing the inquiry argued that jehovah's witness elders - equivalent to ministers or pastors - exercised a level of control over the congregation that allowed them access to children.. the inquiry informed abuse survivors who gave evidence to the inquiry in relation to the jehovah's witnesses of the news this afternoon.. "we have received advice from the high court that none of the causes of action brought by the jehovah's witnesses has succeeded and the application for judicial review has been dismissed.
the judge's reasons are not yet available, but are expected in the near future," the email to survivors, seen by rnz, said.. the church was the only faith-based institution in the country to legally challenge its involvement in the inquiry, although it had attempted to challenge its status in other countries where similar inquiries have also been carried out.. the inquiry said, in a statement, that the dismissal "means the royal commission can continue to investigate the jehovah's witnesses, and all other faiths, in accordance with the pastoral care approach we have been applying since 2019".. "reasons for the high court's judgment are not yet available but are expected in the near future.

"You tell no one. They cant do anything,"
I'm not so sure.
Prying eyes tend to sneak around. Lets say someone comes to visit someone in the hospital and discover that you are in there also. They realize the seriousness of your condition and realize you need blood. They can relay this to the blood police hospital liason committee.
Theres always weasels out there who know other weasels and wouldn't hesitate for a split second to 'rat' you out.
