“In the face of widespread economic strain, national conflicts and social unrest, surveys indicate that confidence in the future is at an all-time low in many countries and lands, including the British Virgin Islands,” the organization said in a March 31, 2023, release.
Further, it added that according to the 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer study, 24 of the 28 countries surveyed are seeing “all-time lows in the number of people who think their families will be better off in five years.”
The organization said against this backdrop of pessimism, a special global program featuring the theme, “You Can Face the Future With Confidence!” will be held on the weekend of April 1-2, 2023.
“The free 30-minute presentation will be hosted at local Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses, with a videoconferencing option available. Please check the “Attend a Meeting” section on the homepage of jw.org for local addresses and meeting times.”
