Doubting Bro
I'm actually suprised it took them this long!!
Sir brings up a good point. I wonder if they're going to get the elders to sign something saying they will not disclose the contents. I know they always told you not to show the book to anyone but nothing in writing from the individual elder. Also, I'll bet they will require sitting elders to turn in their old book to get their new book. When you are deleted (I love that term because it doesn't matter if you step down or are removed) you are supposed to turn in your book. So, it would make sense that they collect the old books.
Man, I do not miss sitting in those sessions! When I was a true believer, I used to leave the sessions thinking I was the worst person ever because they just made me feel like I could never do enough. Now I realize it's all part of the control mechanism.
Look forward to reading the review this fall!

Did you guys know that the WT his the 6 million mark back in 1989?
And in 11 years only one million, sound like all their kids became publishers, because in reality the organization is not growing.
So do you know the number of memorial partakers, that number seems to never change?

Ah, but it does change. The number is going back up...I think it was just over 10,000 last year.
...but that's alright. The door to heaven that was closed back in '35 has been reopened.

Y'all need a new calculator.
2009 - 1989 = 20 years.
