Any bethelites with an ounce of sense (especially older ones) should have a plan and some phone numbers to call.. While it’s possible this can come about the way yousaid, it’s more likely to come about because of the org/religion just wanting to save money. And so the congregations out there will get yet another bunch of needy people dumped on them. More chickens coming home to roost.
@LongHairGal, Hi🙂
Soon everyone will say that the Bethelites who got evicted and downsized are the blessed ones.
At least they had the opportunity to make a quick plan before losing their home.
The Bethels are going to be seized by the governments when JWborg least expects it. The Bethelites would be wise to get out now and find a place to go, even if it's just living with somebody in another congregation. It'll be hard to find a place at the last minute once the Bethels are seized. They should get out now.
"“Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use discernment), then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains. Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again."
What happened to the branch in Russia is going to happen to all the branches earthwide. The Bethelites shouldn't be worried about their "theocratic reputation" or their "name" as Bethelites. "Leave behind even your outer garment." It'll be easier if they get out now rather than during the figurative "wintertime" or on the figurative "Sabbath day" when nobody "religious-looking" will be able to get anywhere very easily.
The only way the shunning policy will go away is when the JWborg is gone. They will be gone as a religious institution very soon when the nations remove them, with Jehovah's permission.
