Is 1918 done away completely by new light?
According to the new light....
When did the first resurrection begin?
And when did Jesus reject all the churches of Christendom?
New Light on 1918?

These are great questions that won't be asked at the WT study.
Rhetorical question: When will JWs wake up to the fact that these invisible happenings and changes aren't biblical but are all the product of imaginative speculation on the part of a handful of WT leaders from Russell and Rutherford down to the present GB?

And who are the"least of these my brothers" in Matthew 25 - to whom we should do good too NOW, to gain Jesus' approval? 8 men in Brooklyn? The GB have always lived in the lap of luxury. IF it refers to the REAL poor, imprisoned, hungry and naked of the world - well - do they and have they ever done anything by way of a concerted effort? No. As my jw mum , watching a pathetic little dying African child in a Save the Children ad sniffed, "Don't let it get to you, let the world turn, it has nothing to do with US". I said to an elder upon reasons for leaving the org "If Jesus was on the earth today, do you honestly think he would be in Brooklyn overseeing the printing of millions of books, or would he be in AIDS-ridden starving Africa, giving of himself to the situation there?" I believe it floored him.
