AGM 5 OCTOBER 2013 (UNOFFICIAL RUMORS) (page 7)

Kinda motivates me to do a two week volunteer bethel stint to get intel and share with JWN.

Are you in a position to do that? Go for it.

Maybe they will actually get the "New Light" right this time about the "other sheep" - that the "other sheep" does not actually refer to some "earthly class" of people, but simply the Gentiles.

The problem with partakers continuing to increase year after year must really be starting to annoy the GB. It flies in the face of everything they've been saying for decades about how the number would decrease over time and is a sign that the end is near. It's a hard statistical fact they can't ignore that screams out that something is seriously f*cked up and needs addressing. They also want to wipe out any partaker feeling 'special' for taking the emblems and a potential challenge to the GB=FDS's monopoly on providing spiritual food, and they also want to open up the prospect of those with an 'earthly hope' to serve on the GB=FDS. These problems could all be resolved by announcing that all of the new light "domestics", whether of the heavenly or earthly class, are in the new covenant and can partake of the emblems (while those of the heavenly hope only are in the "covenant for a Kingdom")

I agree with yadda yadda.

Edited to add - although this makes it seem unlikely this year at least:

18 Most in attendance respectfully abstain from partaking of the emblems as they are passed because Jesus indicated that only those who will reign in his heavenly Kingdom are to partake. (Read Luke 22:28-30; 2 Tim. 4:18) All others present will be respectful observers. Still, being at the Lord’s Evening Meal is important, for being there shows how highly they value Jesus’ sacrifice. During the Memorial, they can reflect on the blessings that they can have on the basis of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. They have the prospect of being among the “great crowd” who survive the coming “great tribulation.” Those are worshippers who will have “washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”—Rev. 7:9, 14-17.

I can also confirm that a reliable source has confirmed 1) a new Bible release, and 2) there is likely to be some significant doctrinal change. The implication was that it will be bigger than last year's FADS=GB

Significant doctrinal changes wow . :)

Maybe their organization is no longer "The Truth" but "The Lie".

Or due to the increasing number of apostates, these form the "great crowd" while the believers are the "little flock".

Or they finally noticed that God is triune.

It just seems if the ones who have been denied to "commune" (partake) on Memorial all these decades, and start to partake that they would 'in time' begin to think that they also should be able to think and have opinions or personal conscience in a 'new' kind of 'personal' relationship with Christ. For the GB to open that door, it will cause the GB extreme trouble of their control.
