CO keeps justifying why we shud preach even if it's dangerous

2 years ago when I was a believing MS, I was disturbed by the CO'S lack of care. He said midweek meetings are non negotiable. Crime has always been there, potholes on the rod hve always been there, they are no excuse for fear driving at night.

Yesterday, while my Wife was at the meeting, I tuned in on zoom to hear what crazy thing the CO has to say. He was hammering the congregation about the non existent house to house work. He said just because you don't feel safe is no excuse. He then went to explain that Noah preached in a wicked world, Jonah was sent to a wicked Nineveh. If they could do it, safety is not an excuse for you.

The more I think about it, the more I realize he acknowledged to the audience their fears, but he made it clear that no one cares, they must just go knock on doors regardless, despite the congregation clearly preferring the safety of cart witnessing in public areas and letter writing.
