The announcement is only at the congregation that formed the committee. The gossip mill travels fast

Things to consider
The watchtower does not have a relationship with jehovah
Many churches have good or better people
Committees are inconsistent in fairness, everything from caring to harsh.
The original elders may have wondered in the back if their minds how they could get some themselves.
With no family in maybe just move on
If you are not a dedicated worker for the borg you will always be in the fringe

Bright side: new world will have no carbon emissions ( or electricity).
Pushing the woke agenda, ignoring the problems the solutions will cause. Good thing they left Brooklyn before it turns into Atlantis.

"My book of bible stories" is child abuse!!
by Witness 007 ini once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!
this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.
i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..

Gorb
" the best ever" catch phrase has gone missing. I have not heard it even once.
Being elderly and pimo, I have no excitement. But none is noted anywhere else among the pimi either.

Sex with a minor cannot be consensual. Using a position of trust or power crosses a line too.

Half of disfellowshipped one suicidal?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inthis ex brother says about half of disfellowshipped ones are suicidal at about 43 minutes into this video https://youtube.com/watch?v=otcdksnf4zo&feature=sharec.
it really is that brutal having your family and friends shun you that many unfortunately do actually take their own lives including steve letts nephew.. no wonder the drastic change in the elders book to not have any more judicial committees if suspected it would make them suicidal.. this is probably one of the largest changes in recent history that most rank and file don’t know about yet.. how it will work in practice i just don’t know.
what if someone keeps sinning but says it’s weakness not wickedness and they are suicidal?

I have seen suicide from the pressure to not get a good job, pioneer, don't marry, go to bethel.

No more judicial committee if maybe suicidal
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inthe new direction in the new elders book is very clear.
absolutely no jd if there is a suspicion of suicidal thoughts.. this is obviously due to the high number of suicidal attempts after the announcement that someone is no longer a jw and the shunning that accompanied it.. so what will happen now going forward if situations arise where there would formerly have been a jd and they say there is suicidal thoughts?.
i can’t see it working, but elders stick rigidly to what it says in the book.

The book is a joke. Full of unrealistic scenarios and procedures. Some elders read at 6th grade, others are pompous asses. They will still put you on ignore somehow.
The vast majority uf elders think the congregation is there so they can have a title instead of they are there to aid the congregation. As for the borg they are parasites.
