Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom

i can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.

this had to come down from the top.

maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

XBEHERE

I can 100% confirm that there has been no letter to the Elders in the U.S. that states to discourage zoom. They are using the CO's tell "encourage" In-Person mtg and ministry.

There is no letter to the elders at least here in the U.S. instructing them to discourage zoom.
its likely in the outline or a letter to CO's only. They want this to be verbal instructions for now at least.

BOEs in a letter from the WTS said that BOEs have to submit a request to the CO to continue using Zoom, and he will be deciding whether or not to continue.

Do we have a copy of this letter?

Link between relationships and health/happiness

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

even though i’m agnostic so will not commit to either intelligent design or chance, i love being part of the congregation for the close personal relationships.. there is such a great atmosphere inside the congregation it really is like a family and you don’t get this anywhere else.. a real friend is someone you can rely on when you are in need.

if things go wrong for you and you are going through a hard time you know real friends will be there for you.

as long as you didn’t bring it on yourself by going against gods law then you have to prove you are repentant first of course.. there is a lot of research now saying that good friends is essential for healthy and happiness.

ExB..PIMA,

I get what you are saying. I have been a PIMO for well over 10 years now and I stay in for my family. The times I have/do spend with SOME in the congregation are enjoyable as you describe. That being said, if any of them ever found out that I am PIMO not only would they shun me but my PIMI family as well. They will cut you off at the drop of a hat so to me that is not the definition of a real friendship or of the "christ-like love" that they claim to have for each other. If you still believe in that. Its a finely constructed fantasy born out of a cult.

So I do not think those fake friendships are good for your health, not in the least.

i find this to be the case, people in general are so not interested in religion that they really could care less about jws.

I find this to be the case, people in general are so not interested in religion that they really could care less about JWs. For example most people know that most holidays have no religious basis i.e. Christmas, Easter and they don't give a crap. Maybe for young children in school... maybe. But adults do not care one bit. What do you think?

Curtailing zoom

by road to nowhere in

co visit, so right from the horse's mouth ( or somewhere).

too many are staying on zoom, missing face to face encouragement.

look for the elders to implement changes.. also people at the door are so receptive and glad to see us.

XBEHERE

Have someone at Bethel figured out people are not donating enough when on zoom, it's bye bye zoom. Have they notice they get much more money from selling halls, they gonna keep zoom and continue the sell out......They seem too be focusing on the real estate market.

I agree. They purchased a large building in Long Island, NY rumored to be renovated into an assembly hall in the near future. Long Island has a decent resale value so no doubt this is an investment property.
