CO just confirmed worldwide construction halt and possible JW.ORG news of it

by LevelThePlayingField in

just had the co visit tonight.

i asked him if he had heard about the worldwide halt of construction besides warwick and to my surprise he said he heard the same thing.

then he went on and add that also some branches are closing and some bethelites going into pioneering but, "all because of the preaching work now.

Just had the CO visit tonight. I asked him if he had heard about the worldwide halt of construction besides Warwick and to my surprise he said he heard the same thing. Then he went on and add that also some branches are closing and some bethelites going into pioneering but, "all because of the preaching work now. So yes, I have heard about it, but don't spread it. Wait for it to come out on JW.ORG on the news section."

I said wow, ok, and that's awesome to see Jah's direction in the matter, and how lovely his talk was, but honestly I couldn't believe he actually admitted it. ;)

Then on the way home I told my wife who is still totally in and she bought the whole thing, hook line and sinker. She said, "well, yes, the main focus should be the preaching work." :(

So changes were made, but who cares because were so deep into the end, nothing the Organization does, really matters—does it?

by John Aquila in

so i called a few jwdubs that still talk to me, not to try to convince them of anything or wake them up but to try to get a feedback on how they took the big meeting change and other announcements.

generally speaking, all the ones i talked to were not even fazed by the changes.

many of them still didnt even realize the meeting format had changed and thought the layoffs were a normal thing that happens all the time.

You said it John, they just won't wake up. Just close your eyes and obey. Never mind the elephant in the room. Never mind the governing body member that told lies upon lies at the Royal Commission, never mind, never mind, just obey.

You have to admit, the carrot is pretty alluring.

by John Aquila in

there were several families that were visiting my mom today and i was sitting in and just listening to all of them talk..

they started talking about the recent shooting at the university.

and its so easy for them because all they have to say is;.

LevelThePlayingField

John - you are so right. For people that are that blind, it wouldn't matter how much TTATT you showed them, they would just say, "yeah, but Jehovah knows what's going on...". and they would just keep on 'serving Jah' so to speak. They really just don't get it.

On a need to know basis - The Letter

by no-zombie in

we've just had our sunday meeting and the letter was read out to the congregation.. however, there was no mention of the bethel lay-offs or the building program shut-downs.. looks like we are on a need to know basis, here in australia..

LevelThePlayingField

Figures, the GB will not tell anyone about anything negative. That's why the Royal Commission never made the news section of JW.ORG.
