fader77 - Thank you for that very recent information. It seems this 100 year anniversary since 1914 is proving to be a year that just keeps on giving. The fast and quick adjustments are causing many old-timers to wonder what this religion is up to. I had one long time JW an octogenarian (an elder forever) mention he has never witnessed such a “flurry of changes.”
I’m wondering what is up with all these “age discrimination” related adjustments. These are the brothers that were the work horses for the WTS. I know many 80+ brothers and sisters that gave everything to the WTS and were adversely influenced by the craziness and insanity of the 1960’s & 70’s. The numbers that hurt themselves in believing they were never going to get old or have to worry about retirement are innumerable.
These trusting aged loyal ones are still the first at the meeting regardless of the weather and their aches and pains. They are the first to financially support resolutions even with their meagre old age pension income. The 2014 insanity marches on!!
