To Workers and elders in our field
Good morning,
I regretfully need to inform you that Diana and I are stepping away from all meetings. This includes Sunday AM, Wed Evening, Gospel Meetings, Specials and Conventions.
We are extremely disappointed in the way victims, survivors and perpetrator situations have been handled and foresee minimal change in the future. There are other administration issues which have caused divisions in the states and around the world. Jesus is not divided. His house will stand.
We love all the people in this field. Our prayers will still be with and for each one of you. We hope our friendships can continue.
These issues are affecting our physical and mental health, and we need to take care of ourselves.
We never ever imagined we would ever need to do this. It has been a very hard but needed decision.
Joe and Diana Aylesworth
