Just wanted to give an update on the mask wearing policy change and what I have seen in my local congregation as of the meeting last night which would be the first official bear faced meeting at the KH since the plandemic.
Last night I saw at least 3 individual publishers that I had never met in person before. I have to conclude that they now chose to come to the KH because of the change of the official policy on strongly encouraged mask wearing. These people were previously lingering on Zoom.
The announcement was read yet again: "As of Oct 1st, Mask wearing at the Kingdom Hall is no longer strongly encouraged. And we should respect the personal decisions of all."
Consider this, as I mentioned in another thread: if I were to come to the KH a month ago barefaced, an uproar would have ensued, if I would have been allowed to enter at all. My personal decision most definitely would not have been respected. But now the GB have ordained the flip in policy so the R&F are expected to unquestionably obey. This is extremely dangerous and way too much power for any man or men to properly yield. They are NOT our leaders.
Matt 23: 8 "But you, do not you be called Rabbi, for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers. 9 Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One. 10 Neither be called leaders, for your Leader is one, the Christ. 11 But the greatest one among you must be your minister. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
Mark 10: 42 But Jesus called them to him and said to them: “You know that those who appear to be ruling the nations lord it over them and their great ones wield authority over them. 43 This must not be the way among you; but whoever wants to become great among you must be your minister, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of all."
Has anyone else noticed a change?
