Ten-four good buddy...this letter was read here locally also. The tone of the letter is that 'Mother' wants everyone to prepare to have zoom-meetings for the long haul. In fact... the local elders are assigning brothers to handle zoom meetings for service every day of the week. Basically the organization is telling the rank & file that even though local governments are easing up on restrictions...they expect JWs to continue with safe distancing protocols until told otherwise.

US Letter Read Sunday 4/26 at Meeting - No KH Use and No Field Service Indefinitely
by JWTom inthere was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.
however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.
also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

What's The Point?
by AllTimeJeff init's been 12 years since i submitted my resignation letter, and stopped playing by their rules.. in a spurt of manic rationality, i blew up the bridge, sky high.
knowing that the diseased organ would need to be forever removed, away from anything remotely functional in my mind, body, and soul.
lest i be tempted to return.... so, i left.

We all deserve to be happy...(and to know that our first name isn't "brother" or "sister" lol)
This comment brought back a memory from a year ago of an overly zealous fella in my congregation. I went to greet him one day and called him by his first name. His reply to me was:
"Call me 'Brother So n So'...brother"!
To this day when I cross paths with this knucklehead I ignore his wishes & proceed to address him by his 1st name!🤣🤣🤣

I/we see it all the time...an employee flattering & ingratiating himself with his employer in hopes of getting a raise or promotion in return.
Though there is no exact mention of money...'Mother' is buttering-up the elderly with this letter for among other things...their continued loyalty and in the end...their $$$!

Another indicator that 'Mother' may be strapped for cash...in bold print just before table of contents yet another plea to the elders for money:
"This publication is not for sale. It is provided as part of a worldwide Bible educational work supported by voluntary donations.
To make a donation, please...donate...!"
These elders make peanuts while serving this organization and now 'Mother' wants the shell.

by goingthruthemotions inso this elder is super brainwashed, as is his wife.

I got one of those calls from an elder...my reply was: "Don't call me...I'll call you!"
Makes me wonder if all these daily phone calls along with the text & email check-ins/check-ups ordered by the circuit overseers isn't a way to keep homebound elders themselves busy & out of trouble...after all, as the ole saying goes... "an elder's idle mind is the workshop of the Devil!"🤣🤣🤣

Just when you were wondering how much more ridiculous can this cult get during this crisis...word is...that at either this week's zoom meetings or via emails or by texts messages...the rank & file are being reminded by elders to turn their time in for the month of March...what's next?!?!

This cult is something else...a letter from "Mother" will be read at midweek zoom meetings to all congregations to the effect:
"Hey y'all...Even though everyone is in a time of crisis...don't forget to send in your donations to the World Wide Work Fund!"
