  14 jesus provides wise direction in times of crisis.

  the benefits of that direction were evident when the covid-19 pandemic broke out.

  while many in the world were uncertain about what course to take, jesus made sure that we received clear guidance to keep us safe.

  14 Jesus provides wise direction in times of crisis. The benefits of that direction were evident when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. While many in the world were uncertain about what course to take, Jesus made sure that we received clear guidance to keep us safe. We were encouraged to wear face coverings when out in public and to practice physical distancing. The elders were reminded to maintain regular contact with all in the congregation and to be aware of their physical and spiritual needs. (Isa. 32:1, 2) We received additional direction and encouragement by means of Governing Body updates.

  The claim is that Jesus gave them clear direction, including direction to keep them safe. All the direction that was given was wise.

  There's no question that the GB provided direction in regards to the Kingdom Halls and witnessing. Claiming that it came from Jesus without any evidence whatsoever. In fact, there is evidence that proves it came from elsewhere.

  The wearing of facemasks and social distancing was directed through their great harlot, being WHO as part of the UN. Government mandates necessitated changes to the Door to Door work and meeting in the KHs.

  They don't stand out as having results any different to other religions in general.

  I've posted and upvoted a number of posts.

  Getting death threats is not on, I wonder where that is coming from. It's criminal and serious.

  Is it new light that only the anointed are written in the scroll of life?

  13.49 Mark states

  Not one of those in Satan's organization is going to be written in the scroll of life. The only ones written in the scroll of life are those who rule with Jesus Christ

  Kim Silvio, I don't know of anyone who has been given such a hard time from Lloyd, except for his wife of course. Going from a strong supporter of his to finding out what he's really made of is tough enough in such a short time but the treatment he has given you is inexcusable.

  You are the messenger but he wants to turn you into the wrongdoer.

  I feel for what you are going through and thank you for being the whistleblower. It's making a huge dent into his agenda.

  Can you imagine the amount of damage that he's done that we won't even get to hear about.

  Thanks for making a difference.

  I'm catching up on the Andrew Gold's review of the interviews with Lloyd Evans and Kim Silvio.

  His level of paranoia has hit an all time high. IMHO it sounds dangerously high.

  Andrew Gold points out that Lloyd Evans contacted him, asking him to do an interview. Lloyd Evans later claims in a discussion with him that it was the other way around.

  Lloyd asked that he not interview Kim Silvio as he didn't want her to have the last say.

  Andrew offers to interview both him and Kim at the same time. He said no, so then Andrew offers to allow Lloyd to feed him questions on the side during the interview with Kim.

  Lloyd then responds 'very angrily' and accuses Andrew of duping him, the victim, into this (the initial interview) Lloyd claims that Andrew did this so he could use it as fodder to enable Kim Silvio, to bully him even more. This accusation was made even though Andrew knew nothing of Kim Silvio until all this came up and has only had dealings with Lloyd previously.

  Lloyd also accused him of cheap tabloid sensationalism. He threatened to remove his patronage from him which was all of 1.50pounds a month, he has since done so. It's almost as if he is paying people for future favours.

  Lloyd told him that Kim is a pathological liar and if she lies on his interview, which he said she would, he will add him to his lawsuit.

  Imagine that, for years Lloyd has engaged and allowed a pathological liar on his team, including his website and on his Youtubes.

  They say any publicity is good publicity, it would seem that is what he is going for.

  Thanks Kim. The Youtube says it will premiere in 31 hours - on the 15th April (Friday)

  Kim, Lloyd said that he had been paying for prostitutes every few months for the past three of four years, however a couple of times you mentioned that you remembered being told differently.

  Are you able to say what you believe he had told you regarding this?

  Since Satan is the Ruler of this World, then instructions that are illogical, strange and impractical couldn't originate with anyone else.

  From the study Watchtower

  During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical. Of course, Jehovah will not speak to us personally. He will likely provide direction through his appointed representatives.

  He will LIKELY provide direction through the FDS during the GT? They don't even know if Jehovah will provide the GB with direction.

  They are telling the R&F to follow these instructions even if they are strange, impractical, or illogical and now to do it even if they don't know if it is from men or from Jehovah because they are admitting that they only think is is likely it is from him - not definitely.
