Lett comes across like he knows his audience thinks like kids so he's going to talk to them like kids, thats all those exaggerated hand gestures and phony smiles. It comes across as more deliberate and deceptive than Morris, who sorta mumble-rants to himself for himself in cranky earnestness. -

The article's got all the telltale tropes we know so well. Anybody else see the story where a nameless couple stops working when the government bans Jehovah's Witnesses, and the wife quits a good-paying job to pioneer even though they got a young kid? Then a nameless Elder says that the ban attracted people's attention and so inactive Witnesses came back and got 'reactivated.' What are they, gift cards?
Does anybody else think that besides Russia the Governing Body fears more governments banning Jehovah's Witnesses for failing to protect the victims of child sex abuse? I might be reading into it but I'm not sure I am. I got that vibe from a mention of governments spreading false stories.

It mostly comes down to money, American Witnesses make less on average than other Christians, Pew published a study a while back showing that, and so a congregation can't afford to make their Kingdom Halls ornate; and like Bad Wolf said what money Witnesses do offer up goes right to the top. The Governing Body even demanded halls empty out their bank accounts except 5k and send the remainder to help with 'building kingdom hall's (i.e., to Warwick) back in what, 2016? 5k doesn't leave much wiggle room for pillars or painting if you need to fix up the roof or replace some windows.
That being said where I live I've seen some nice Kingdom Halls, nothing like a basilica or synagogue, but gardens grow around the property, they put ottomans in the foyer, they frame the TVs in the sanctuary with wood paneling, the carpet's sleek and colorful, those kind of little touches that go a long way. Credit where credit's due.

Enough already, this cannot keep happening. Lock the Governing Body up until they reform their policies, it's time to take the kids gloves off. -

I'm not surprised, they run you ragged until you collapse or break one of their petty little rules and they kick you out. And a lot of kids run for the hills as soon as they get out of the house.
