  RULES & REGULATIONS

  

  ''Brothers, let's not fool ourselves. This virus is really hitting our business finances. Our brothers and sisters are loving every minute of the local congregation zoom meetings. No driving to their respective congregations, spending less on gas money, and contributions are way down since contribution boxes are not hitting them in the face as they walk in and walk out of the meetings. We know from Bible prophecy that pestilence is a notable feature of the last days... but I'm getting a little worried. Since we are God's earthly channel, Mr. Lett.... can you pray and make supplication to Jehovah to get us out of this mess?''

  "Well of course, I have a great idea, lett us emphasise the great value of our teachings and how this pearl of great price is provided without cost. But is it free? Noooo. Without cost does not mean free. But we can provide the money. Yes we will lend every publisher £15 trillion and all they have to do is pay it back in regular installments with minimal interest.

  Some people actually question whether we care for our fellow domestics. Of course we care because we want them to benefit from this generous loan which will pay for a very rewarding education."

  Nod nod, smile smile, gurn gurn.

  Hand rub.

  Many religious organisations are having real trouble in this pandemic, not just Jehovah’s Witnesses. Some churches will close due to this crisis, as have many businesses. It’s inevitable. The difference, if the situation becomes existential, is that members of other churches may be inclined to view it as a practical problem and look for practical solutions, or even look around for local alternatives. If Watchtower runs out of money, on the other hand, I think Jehovah’s Witnesses will struggle to understand this in rational terms, because it’s literally unthinkable for adherents to the “truth” to conceive that their “spirit directed” organisation can actually fail.

  Failure? They don't fail. Any negative, to them is just a positive missing it's vertical line.

  Pray to joke-hova to make it end? That monster would rather it continue, and get worse (mandatory vaccinations that make you utterly dependent on those big drug companies and enslave you to them). It would rather have people continue doing more in spite of the hardships instead of removing or reducing them.

  Watching Watchtower decrease instead of grow is pretty entertaining. Yep Jeehober is really directing his organization. I hope they continue to sell off halls and become on online cult. Will show that they have no power at all and their true reason in this world $$$.
