Actually the meltdown of the clueless, head in the arse dub has started already over on our favourite dub friendly site...
Wow, exciting times indeed, I cannot wait til the letter is read and also for the Annual Meeting. Jehovah is certainly speeding up the work. And to think with all my worries and financial problems I was thinking of stepping down from Pioneering. But this has awakened me even more, I will deal with my problems and preach, preach preach.
All this conversation reminds me of the new morning worship by AMIII. Obeying will result in blessings. He specifically mentioned directions from the GB and branch committees. He did not seem very happy and now we can imagine why.
So because we help out with BRD, or the British branch relocation, we get to link up to morning worship in London bethel. The brother hosting that day says they've got a special announcement letter to read from the governing body. (I can't remember exact words so if anyone else was there maybe they can corroborate?)
It basically said further to the broadcast about helping contribute more money as it won't last forever, they are postponing, cancelling or majorly reducing all construction work, worldwide. This includes reducing bethel family drastically, and reducing the services they get while on bethel, like getting more to do their own laundry and housecleaning. All those that have to leave will be assigned to the field, in most cases as regular pioneers. It said that the governing body loves you very much and just to trust in Jehovah and make it a matter of prayer. They will follow with more information in the next weeks and months.
The reaction was mixed but the atmosphere was very subdued after this announcement as you can imagine.
But we started talking about it, and it's interesting that the governing body want to send more out in the field, maybe a last final big push before the great tribulation? Obviously the more in the field, the more will come into the truth, hence the need for more Kingdom Halls, but with most of the construction work either stopping or being reduced greatly does this mean that the governing body aren't thinking long term? I think this shows how close we are to the end, it's imminent! The stress now is on getting as many people in the truth as possible before the end!
There is also at least one person laying really strong hints that there is more to come and obviously is aware of the content of the the leaked letter...
