okay, so my friends are going to this weekends assembly... social gathering as I see it. So, it goes from Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Three days of all the same info over and over and oh the Drama.. so exciting!! LOL As I have mentioned before, I've been to a few of these and found nothing in them. I did not feel any spiritual guidance or anything. I can't explain it, I felt nothing. When I do go to a regular church I feel better. I feel the sense of acceptance by the congregation and the Lord. I am politely denying my friends invite to the weekend. I will hear about how great it was when they get home. Is it true, that where will be new light? If so, what is this new light and what was the old light? Im still praying that they will eventually find their way away from this organization, Hopefully someday my prayers will be answered and they will turn to the right light. I know it is possible, if they can find their way out because I see you all here, so please pray that my friends and family find their way out of this group. It is frustrating hearing that they are in the truth and that the end is so near. How much longer do I have to hear them say that and see that they truly believe it?

Welcome to JWD
I also hope your friends one day find the 'right' light.
But, understand they may never find it. I have been hearing the end is near since 1948. (I no longer believe it and haven't for a long time.) My parents have been hearing it much longer than that. My dad was born in 1914 & he still believes everything the WTBTS tells him to believe. I have never in my life heard him question any changes in doctrine or any new light.
Unfortunately, some people never find the right light. All we can do is drop seeds of information to them and hope something takes root.
