Indeed! The WTS is mutating right before our eyes! Just as Gary Busselman predicted (you kick ass, Gary! You're better at prophecy than Jesus!) Only up until a few years ago, this religion was still pretty much the same as when I left it (back in 1996). In the past, what? three years or so, there's been new light, new meeting arrangements, and new publishing headquarters. Oh yeah, and the whole "published by Jehovah's Witnesses" thing is just weird. There must be some truly interesting shit going down at Bethel, and I'm looking forward to the second coming of Ray Franz. Come on, someone at Bethel (who gets booted out) is gonna publish a book after all these changes are done. Lotsa disgruntled bethel workers kicked out to do special pioneering, or whatever they call it. Kinda like when I got laid off, and they called it a "forced vacation".
Invisible things are starting to grow within the religion. I can't help but wonder if they're going to add this invisible growth to the visible numbers published every year. Oh yeah, speaking of growth, I can't wait for the new memorial numbers to come out! I'm predicting that it'll be just shy of 10,000 annointed.
It's just weird to see the whole thing mutating - becoming a former shell of the bullshit I was raised in. Your thoughts on all the changes?

I think something is going on too, but I believe the changes are because of Legal issues, not "New Light from Jehovah".
Whatever numbers they publish regarding the annointed (I never believe their numbers anyway), it will fit right in with
whatever new stuff they have going on in the wings. Remember, they are masters at manipulation of both scripture
and math.

It's simple!
They've been reading this site and they've learnt how to do 'The Fade'! They are Fading Away before our very eyes ....... and probably running off with the loot, to boot!
A couple of years and the WTBTS will consist of a bloke on a tropical beach, drinking coctails and writing the latest Wacktower crap on his lap top to be emailed to all congregations for them to print, distribute and then transfer funds to his own personal off shore account!
Watch and see!

They have to keep changing or they will die. They're lies are catching up to them!
This generation falling away right now is just like the 1974 generation was back in the 80's. If people can actually remember that fiasco.

Brothers, We're Living In Exciting Times!
Yes I remember that catch phrase decades ago,
Reworking the bullshit to remain in power and make them look legitimate
and of course to keep their literature of lies and misconceptions circulating well
commercialism done religiously

Well, I do think you will see a lot of changes in upcoming years in the org, and yes I agree we are living in exciting times. I really thing the Ted Jaracz/Max Larson hardline wing of the org is aging rapidly and giving way to the much more liberal younger voting bloc that is now on the GB. That can only be good, in my humble opinion.
