The part is delivered by Peter Bell from the British branch committee. It boils down to not paying attention to negative reports, apostates. Satan is the father of the lie, ect. I think it's telling that's it's a morning worship talk. Hopefully this will lead to more waking up at bethel, or possibly leaving bethel for good. Or maybe someone higher up will wake up and expose something big.

So in a rare in person meeting that I showed up to I was invited to hospitality. I figured why not so I obliged. The speaker which was a brother in his twenties. His parents tagged along. Well at lunch the conversation was dominated by the father. First he recognizes a brother that's in the LDC, RBC, or OPP, whatever they call those committees. So the dad goes on and on about his experiences on construction projects, working temporarily at Warwick construction, SPMW cart witnessing, blah blah, blah. Basically he sounded like a member of a corporation talking about his business exploits. And all the while I'm thinking he is one mistake away from all of his "privileges" being stripped and his whole community abandoning him. Or if his wife or his son screws up, or any one of them asks too many questions, their fragile little reality will crumble
