Did this actually happen? More manipulation by fear. Propaganda at its finest.

What changes are on the way?
by insearchoftruth ini was listening to the co talk to my wife’s congregation on sunday and pretty much the complete talk was justifying doctrinal and organizational changes and pretty much preparing the ‘rank and file’ for upcoming changes.

The whole 537/539/1914, Ezekiel’s, Daniels prophecy and the interpretation of the book of revelation are merely distractions that the organization uses to steal a tiny bit more of your limited resources to enrich themselves.

Dedicated funds
by road to nowhere inin one of the videos there was a mention of how hard the great eight work.
i noticed that they had to decide how to use donated money---not dedicated money.
a subtle difference..

That’s probably why they promote donating to the world wide work. It is considered general revenue and they can do as they please with the funds.

In my experience anyone who states how hard they work don’t really work that hard.
I guess that doesn’t answer the question about dedicated funds but the fact that they are promoting themselves indicate they are concerned about their position

It reminds me of the old Soviet countries. Communism was the best way of life but they had to put razor wire at all the borders just to keep their citizens from leaving.
If they let jws quietly leave, everyone would probably leave.

JW's were born and built through primitive religions dynamics
by Victor inrussel and his followers were a byproduct of the religious orthodoxy revolt that originated in europe.
this revolution of ideas crossed over to america seeding all the fringe groups who russel then became a part of.
this resistance to the establishment is similar to what we have seen recently with the q annon phenomena.

The only power they have over you is what you allow them to have.
We’re not invited to that many gatherings but we’re not missing out. Say something wrong in front of some jws and find yourself being berated in the back room on Thursday night.
It just isnt worth the hassle to attend those gatherings. There are other things to do in life.

Missed opportunity of Jehovah’s Witnesses
by Abraham1 injesus had foretold that people of "last days" would “faint out of fear” because of things such as “sea-level rise’ as part of “signs of last days” in luke 21:25. bible translators—including new world translation of jehovah’s witnesses—missed the real meaning as they translated it as “roaring of the sea and its agitation.” (https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/nwt/books/luke/21/).
more careful translations such as niv put it: “roaring and tossing of the sea.” (https://biblehub.com/luke/21-25.htm) word for “tossing” is σάλου (salou), from saino; i.e., billow,” (swell outwards).
thus underlying thought is like balloon swelling, or water flowing outwards, as though ready to roll over, thus points to the modern terminology “sea-level rise.” biblos interlinear translation (int:) translates it as “of [the] sea and rolling surge.” “rolling sea.” (a greek lexicon to the new testament, edward robinson (d.d., page 416) (a greek lexicon to the new testament on the basis of dr. robinson ... by c. robson).. jesus’ original use of the wording “tossing of the sea” is another way of saying “sea-level would rise” as a result of pollution of air.

I might retract my earlier statement. Climate change nut jobs would never drive around aimlessly in field serve us each and every Saturday morning.

To motivate the sheep to attend physical meetings they will have to threaten to take away fake privileges or come up with some new fake privileges for those that attend.
