As many of you know, the Watchtower Corporation has recently slowed Bible production significantly over the past year... I'm sure there are several reasons for this. Money being the main one. But I suspect that they are also anticipating a significant exodus worldwide after the 100th anniversary of Jesus' kingdom with "The End" being no where in sight. To offset this expected drop in numbers, they will likely be using the "straw-man effect" to take some attention away from their failed "prophecies". So, among other tactics, I believe they will be producing a special 100th anniversary Bible of sorts which they intend to hipe up in the 2014 DCs... The theme of this DC will probably be something like: "100 years brothers! Aren't we so excited to be THIS close to the end?" (of course, this is pure speculation folks... but you have to admit that it does sound like something they would do out of desperation)
Special Conmemorative 100th Anniversary Bible to be released next year!

Maybe they'll add some new books, like Gospel According to Lett, Losch's Teachings on Education and American Football.

Alert not required... I already mentioned that this is pure speculation.

Well, I suspect invisible pink unicorns are drinking from orbiting teacups.
I also suspect that you vastly overrate the intelligence of the average JW.
If they don't leave because the WTS expects them to shun their relatives and expects them to subject their own children to elevated risk of death due to "no blood transfusions", what makes you think there will be a "significant exodus" due to the calendar changing from 2013 to 2014?
This is a silly thread.
