breakfast of champions - "Just got it on good authority that Bethel has recalled all missionaries in the field to make it back home to HQ to be present at the Annual Meeting for a significant announcement regarding a new understanding of BIBLE PROPHECY."
Huh.
Assuming it's legit, has anything like this "significant" (total) recall (sorry, couldn't resist) ever happened before? If not, WTF could it possibly be about? As far as I know, Fred Franz didn't leave behind any prophetic proteges...
"Babylon the Great" sure as hell isn't on the brink of falling. Doutful they're speculating the new identity of the "King of the North", either; they wouldn't feel compelled to call everybody home just for that.
"The Great Tribulation has begun and the Final Persecution of Jehovah's Followers is at hand, so it's time to cut the individual congos loose, batten down the hatches, and hide out upstate in the not-so-secret bunkers basement of the new HQ..."
This does remind me of a similar tip from a couple months back about some significant upcoming doctrinal change that the CO's were going to have to help the elders and congos "accept". Interesting that it's coming less than 2 weeks after the crash and burn of the WTS's appeal over the Conti verdict...
Not a big believer in coincidence, assuming this whole thing is on the level.
