Circuit Overseer told us a secret, the Tower is falling.....by FinalPharoah

Hey exJw community. Pimo Ministerial Servant serving in a congregation in South Africa. For many years, our publisher numbers hovered around 95 000. However, during our last Circuit Overseer visit, June 2023, he let us in on a little secret (During elders and MS meeting). 7000 publishers in our country have gone cold since the pandemic, he described them as "wanting nothing to do with the organisation". The numbers are currently sitting at 2002 levels and plummeting.

Furthermore, he told us many have told him, to his face, that they refuse to go to midweek meetings while they have zoom. He yelled at us throughout the entire meeting because we're not doing enough to stop the exodus. He told us "If you can't do the job, get out!" after we told him about our life stresses and struggle to keep up with the relentless "spiritual" demands (Its like tryna fill a bucket with holes, does'nt matter how much you open the tap). Since his visit, a few brothers have been left completely deflated only attend meetings when they have parts.

Maybe that statue that Daniel dreamed about, was the Watchtower.

Along with hoping those who leave haven't had their faith completely shipwrecked but, in spite of the spiritual trauma, STILL grope for the Father and, in doing so, seek the TRUE Truth, His Son, our dear Lord, JaH'eShua, and thereby seek His kingdom.

Find one, find the other. Find the Son... OR the Son finds YOU... find and be led to the Father.

We can only hope, dear Sher'f (peace to you, dear friend!). Along with hoping those who leave haven't had their faith completely shipwrecked but, in spite of the spiritual trauma, STILL grope for the Father and, in doing so, seek the TRUE Truth, His Son, our dear Lord, JaH'eShua, and thereby seek His kingdom.

My experience is the WBT$ churns out a lot of Agnostics and Atheists when people are done being abused by them...Although the Atheists tend to lean to Agnostic...

Very few have any Faith / Beliefs anymore, that`s been beaten out of them...Many that do are just trying to rewrite the WBT$ Script...
