  I think there is something cowardly, yellow-bellied about the covid stance of the WT hierarchy. All full time (paid) people are severely locked down. There is no accessing or leaving bethels etc. COs are banned from any contact no matter local rules. The GB will be absolutely insulated from any risk of infection in their ivory towers.

  The rest of the flock, the r&f however are expected to work, thus incurring some level of risk, contribute, in order to allow for this protection of the hierarchy and (crocodile tears) die in numbers, as an inevitable consequence of their higher risk of infection.

  Don't however come near our KHs with your nasty germs, we don't want them and we don't want our good name associated with any local outbreak.

  The consequence of this is that only the the scientific work, the sacrifice and personal risk of others will stem the world wide problem. Don't look to WT for any help. Don't even clap for the carers.

  Cowardly and self serving.

  Clap for the Carers (or Don't it's Forbidden)

  so, in the uk, during the early stages of covid there was a groundswell of appreciation for the nhs for their front-line sacrifice.

  this was crystallised into a regular clapping/whistling/noise making session every thursday at 8pm.. "harmless" you would have thought, "a gesture of appreciation", "what could possibly be wrong with joining in on that innocent activity?".

  well, the co during his recent rounds had a different view.

  If people wanna clap, let them clap. If they don't wanna, then don't clap. It's no biggie.

  Agreed, the biggie is making it into a matter of religious right and wrong, judging others about it.

  So, should it reoccur, a clap for the carers is not for true christians. Those of us who did it should be ashamed of ourselves.

  Don't forget almost everything said by the CS now is scripted. This must have come down the line.

  This seems to be an individual congregations instructions to their AV/Chairmen. Interesting as an insight into how controlled the congregations and their meetings are. This sort of thing will be familiar to any one involved in any aspect of this.

  They take this stuff SERIOUSLY!

  What do you think will be different in the Organization after the pandemic is over?

  by ExCircuitOverseer in

  whether they go back to door-to-door or not, what will be different?

  do you think there will be a noticeable drop-off in attendance as we have read on here that many have left or faded?

  will there be a mass selling of halls?

  I do know that the base position of WT Inc is cautious to the point of paranoia. They are not going to "approve" meeting in person, door to door activity or anything that involves risk until safety is completely assured.

  Imagine if a KH became ground zero of a disease breakout or a householder sued them because a Dub had called and infected the family and grandma died.

  They have the mindset of many governments but their degree of caution will sacrifice anything in the interests of financial security.

  So, in my opinion, don't hold your breath.

  JW Online University

  i have a family member who is a remote bethelite and they are working on creating content for online "university" for bethelites to teach them skills that are needed at bethel.

  from what i've seen it is a lot of recorded content saved on their sharepoint sites.

  i haven't seen any information on this from this site or reddit which i'm more active on.

  It is my understanding that all "full time servants" or as we would say "paid" employees are under this house arrest.

  They must have the most boring life in the most boring place in the most boring time in decades. For the them lock-down means LOCK-DOWN. They have Benn not allowed off the premises, or received any guests or visited family since the start of Covid. If they want to send out for a pizza, it has to be quarantined for 3 days.

  That is my understanding of things. The paranoia exhibited by the gb on their behalf is staggering.

  Why don't we grab some french fries and visit with minimus!

  You beat me to it Atlantis, maybe a good steak and some onion rings too.

  Thanks for all you do mate, I for one really treasure all the heads ups you provide. We are better informed than the jumped up elders. Knowledge is power.

  The main subject of the memorial and allied meetings at this time of year is strict instructions and information as to why you must not take the emblems. That seems to be the over arching message ignored by thousand more every year.
