Vidiot: These changes are legit
They are reactive and not proactive. They are arrogant and proud and can’t actually see how stupid and incompetent they really are. The blind are leading the blind. The governing body hasn’t thought that far ahead or even reflected on their past mistakes to even think about the consequences of these changes. In their deluded minds they don’t make mistakes.
This was coming but COVID made things happen a lot faster.
Think back over the past 30 years and the blunders that they committed by being so arrogant and inept.
1990ish. Because these entitled fuckers think they’re somehow above both secular and biblical(Jesus said to pay your taxes) laws they stopped charging for literature and the meals at the assemblies ( remember the food tickets for the hoagie and frozen pudding and orange juice) instead of registering for the gst and paying Caesar’s things to Caesar. They actually thought that the flat ass broke jws would donate enough to cover the cost of the FREE food and literature. They were able to dump giving away food after a short time but were stuck giving away magazines for 3 decades.
They demonized the internet while giving away FREE literature for at least 15 years. Finally someone woke up and thought “wait a minute” people can download their watchtower instead of us buying a bunch of paper and ink and shipping these magazines that nobody reads all over the country?
A lot of people liked the book study meeting because it was small and more laid back than the regular meeting so they axed it in favour of the TMS and no one attends.
This latest change of not reporting service time and you can still be saved after the great tribulation starts just dumbs down the whole thing a bit more.
The GB is like the mouse trying to stop a rolling freight train. They’re going to get run over.
The economy, people and society change and you can’t fight progress. Early adapters usually fare the best and luddites who refuse to change are left behind.
