prudent decision even if the pandemic is over you are going to have people that.
lost jobs can't afford to go.
not allowed any vacation time rest of year.
JimmyYoung - "My feeling is they have so much bad press they know if they disobey they will get hammered."
Ditto.
Ten bucks says their lawyers have advised them that due to all the pedo-related shit going on, their tax-exempt status is too precarious to risk pissing off "Satan's World" any more than they already have.
Which, of course, begs the question...
...just how dependent on their tax-exemption IS the WTS?
do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?
as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..
They're not mustache-twirling supervillains...
...but they're definitely not squeaky-clean, either.
i'm only quoting the org's force-fed "food at the proper time" which friends and family had to swallow!.

They know it's wrong...
...but believe it's true...
...at the same time.
it lasts for 45 minutes, but the first 11 minutes are more than enough to see that something is not quite right regarding the media's information about covid 19. the video has english subtitles.

@ mrquik...
Didn't you know?
Everything is a Sign of the End.
Even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff.
all this gt,end of times, corona, etc has got me thinking that something i read some time back may perhaps seem true abotu repetition.. james clear wrote an article about:why facts dont chnage our minds.
"silence is death for any idea.
an idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it.
pbrow - "...JWs are fed the same lies, idiosyncracies and bs repeatedly."
Amazing just how often the conditioning needs regular booster shots, isn't it?
what will the world be like once this pandemic is over?
the world has been through this before, in the form of the bubonic plague and it left changes to life still felt today, especially in regards to the economic system.
so many people dying meant a smaller working class that meant their skills and labour was suddenly more valuable which in turn raised wages.
no work.
no school.
people being cooped up.
I'm currently building and lighting a 1:1000-scale model of this:
just saw this , sent to me in an email.just another way of trying to encourage me to come back coz this is it!
they are doing all they can to still reach out to people despite the lockdown!
i am appalled but at the same time ,i can very well remember when i used to be doing the same thing when pimi thinking i am really helping people , giving them a positive hope , something to look forward to n all.. amazing how thoughts and mind sets once opened changes so drastically!.

Gotta get their Time in somehow.
when you look into all the publications and predictions about the last days, the jws are always represented in groups in someone's house.
this isn't happening right now.
they are all told to stay in their individual homes and watch jwsteaming!.
Stephane - "When you look into all the publications and predictions about the last days, the JWs are always represented in groups in someone's house."
Maybe the GB is priming the rank-and-file for loss of tax-exemption, asset liquidation, and "loving instructions to go 'underground' to avoid persecution" (how exciting), while they rapture bugger off to the Cayman Islands or something.

Smiles - "How do some JWs think they will finally be free of Watch Tower after the End?"
I dunno, maybe it was just me.
That being said, I'm certain may still-ins are aware - on some level - of just how unhappy their lives actually are...
...but haven't fully realized that the source of said unhappiness is less a result of "Satan's World", and more a result of the JW ideology and worldview.
Not to mention that very few truly realize just how dystopian a Watchtower-run planet would actually be (which was a big part of my WTexit).
