  Construction Projects During "The Final Part of the Final Part of the Last Days"

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  luke 21:11 11 and there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.. .

  mr. lett: if these are true signs of the last days, why does the society continue these expensive building projects?

  why not delay these projects and help all italians who have lost their jobs and are struggling financially during this pestilence?.

  Build it and they will come, even if the end does not come.

  PIMI always rejoice with theocratic cognitive dissonance.

  We’re ready to go.

  we meticulously obeyed the divine counsel from the slave.

  we prepared our “to go” bag, and we await gods direction from the slave on our exit plan.

  we submitted our “destination” away back when, the address of our worldly relatives where we planned to flee to for salvation.

  @rtn

  Thanks for the spoiler. We just went to watch that and it was sickening.
  

  Lett and his Branch office "yes men" spoke in a way that sounds scripted, insincere and weird as always.
  

  One reason that JWs are dying from covid19 is because ordinary JW members are forbidden to retreat into the Watch Tower owned isolation fortresses where every necessity is delivered in for the GB and their BethElites, who enjoy a residences almost like a private all inclusive resort with healthcare.
  

  While their own people are suffering and dying from this virus, the GB and their Branch puppets are using this as another opportunity to mutually stroke their BethElite egos and rally ordinary followers and JW elders into more fanatical obedience.
  

  Watch Tower has its masses fooled into believing that the GB bascially invented the idea of washing your hands, and that video streaming apps like Skype & Zoom are loving blessings from the governing body itself.
  

  There is a culty piece circulating online among JWs with a list of things that a JW can use to prove that the GB alone have prepared and protected their people from pestilence better than any other agency on earth.
  

  The GB and their elites have gone on record declaring that they are not alarmed or frightened about this deadly plague.... Easy for them to say when they have self-quarantined inside Watch Tower owned all-inclusive fortresses.

  So loving!

  We agree with DD.

  ZERO gatherings because that ONE over-zealous fool will attend when he is contagious...

  Why cant they privately call on the telly to "encourage one another" one-on-one like rational people?

  of all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.

  all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.

  people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

  We have not seen any this insanity around our area, yet. Market shelves are still well stocked with paper products but sounds like that could change.

  Thanks for the leak.

  Watch Tower cannot afford to lose more control than has already slipped away as a result of the global emergency, so the GB must now dictate what is discussed among small neighborhood groups and family groups.

  Watch Tower is much too micro-managerial and paranoid to allow neighborhood and family groups to freely "encourage one another" without the discussion agenda being strictly controlled by the GB.
  

  #4 in that letter about restricting JW Stream is a very telling point. Watch Tower cannot permit a single congregation to stream out meeting programs to national audiences of unlimited numbers because it would give that one streaming congregation an unfiltered voice and authority rivaling that of the GB via official JW Broadcast... a potentially mutinous risk that Watch Tower will not tolerate even during the unusual changing times of a global emergency.

  Condensed, centralized control is critical to Watch Tower survival because when that centralization deteriorates, JWs will naturally unplug, begin to think for themselves and act independently. Same thing happened to early Christianity as the apostles lost their grip on the congregational groups, and also at JW HQ several times over the decades.

  Due to this global pandemic, the future of Watch Tower trajectory now relys heavily on the performance of congregation elders deployed with marching orders to ensure each individual JW home keep minds plugged into the GB control matrix.

  May 2020 Study WT - more convoluted false prophesying

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the first two study articles of the latest wt raise the usual sense of urgency with more of the same theological quackery russell would be proud of.. first up, something we've always known, the embarrassing admission that jws think they are the center of the universe:.

  even though god’s servants make up only a small portion of the world’s population, they are often at the center of major world events.

  because satan and his entire system have one prime objective—conquering those who serve jehovah .

  Those May 2020 study articles have Maestro Splane written all over them.

  The GB still emulate C.T. Russell in some ways with their occasional bizarre charts and convoluted interpretations, but the GB will also disavow Russell whenever convenient.

  This is no accident. From time to time the Watch Tower has been known to publish convoluted teachings that overwhelm and exhaust us psychologically and emotionally, which can weaken a mind just enough to cease resistance and concede to the perceived authority. PIMI JWs will not detect this happening to themselves. They have been conditioned to affirm. This is why odd personalities like Splane and other authority figures can so easily influence minds that have already been manipulated to mindlessly affirm.

  So when a convoluted interpretation like this one comes along, the PIMI JW will experience a circular reasoning something like this:
  

  Brother Spane is a member of the Governing Body.

  The Governing Body are Jesus Christ's spiritual brothers on earth today because Jehovah God anointed them with holy spirit.

  Holy spirit helps the Governing Body understand deep spiritual truth.

  Brother Splane is explaining deep spiritual truth.

  Therefore, I will accept Brother Spane's explanation as truth even though I do not yet fully understand it.

  After all, who am I to question Brother Splane? I am not a spirited anointed member of the Governing Body who are Jesus Christ's spiritual brothers on earth today because Jehovah God anointed them with holy spirit.
  

  Holy spirit helps the Governing Body understand deep spiritual truth.

  Brother Splane is explaining deep spiritual truth.

  Therefore, I will accept Brother Spane's explanation as truth even though I do not yet fully understand it.

  After all, who am I to question Brother Splane?

  To break this PIMI circular reasoning, one must question Brother Splane.
