It must be something quite big or there wouldn't be the tract campaign

Quandary

The Annual Meeting is Saturday October 7th. Don't you think that any major announcement would be made at that time?

I agree - if, (IF) there is a big announcement it will be at the Annual Meeting and then given to All Congregations

M.J.

The local CO said over his summer visit that the Great Tribulation is nigh, so start memorizing your bible, 'cause pretty soon you won't be allowed to have one. I'm serious.

Blondie: I distinctly remember the donation change being announced on a Sunday because I thought it was odd.

As for this new announcement that may come this week, my meeting is on Tuesday, so I'll let ya'll know.

What-A-Coincidence

I have the big news ... they are getting rid of the writing department and are going to start recycling old pubs ... the Revelation book as an example

well anyway ... can't wait for the BIG YHWAN

My guesses, in order from most to least probable:

1. There's no big annoucement; just a minor change in procedure or policy.

2. The voluntary donation arrangement for literature will become somewhat less voluntary, possibly requiring JWs to purchase (and pay tax) via a captive third party corporation controlled by the WTBTS.

3. The introduction of registered giving where each JW family must pledge and contribute some amount each month; this will eventually result in formal tithing.

4. Removal of "inactive" as a semi acceptable status; any JW missing FS three or so consecutive months without a good excuse will be considered disassociated.

5. Internet usage, except for what is absolutely needed for work, will be banned or otherwise strictly regulated.

6. Underutilized KHs will sold (with the proceeds going to the WTBTS of course) and displaced JWs will have to travel further for meetings due to forced reassignment.

7. Dating, courtship, or marriage with an unbeliever will become grounds for disassociation.

Honesty

Is this the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT?
