konceptual99: They know nothing. It's just a bogus method of raising expectations without having to say anything of consequence. I think they will be very cautious about ever putting a stake in the ground on this one.
Well said. They LOVE to raise expectations and create a sense of mystery, but the fact is: they got nothing!
Be prepared for it to become less concrete and more abstract.
I'd put it this way, Be prepared for it to become less specific and more vague.
scotoma: The question with all these adjusted explanations is why Jehovah would allow his people to be misled in the first place.
And the answer is: God doesn't have anything to do with it.

Perhaps the GB need more $$$ to figure out who the King of North is? Simon, can we set up some kind of voluntary contribution for this?

I don't know who the king of the North is either, but I do know who the king of the West is...
It's Kanye, you idiots
I've finally been away long enough that "Gog of Magog" just sounds like the title of a Dr. Seuss book.
Billy!! You are being corrupted by Satan's world!!! Come back to the light!!!

I do not like them, Gog Magog!
The OP on this thread is very interesting as it discusses the KON and reasoning as to why the GB were not saying who they believed it is.
At the Annual Meeting four years ago Soctoma points out this comment as having been made by Geoffrey Jackson
Finally he dramatically
raised the question “So who is the King of the North?” The audience reacted to this question
with an anticipatory audible buzz. Just the reaction Jackson was hoping for. He followed this up
by saying “We can’t be sure - yet.” And then he raised expectations that when they get it figured
out they will make it known.
They will probably defend their confusion over the King of the North because it cleared the way
for hundreds of thousands of new JW’s in Russia and its former republics. If they maintained the
stance that the King of the North was Russia they would have risked the work coming under a
ban. How could they be allowed to freely carry on their work and talk about Russia being the
evil King of the North? To be sure they don’t want to be too quick to send out the message that
Putin’s Russia is the King of the North that goes forth in a great rage to “annihilate and devote
many to destruction.”
In the book "Your Will Be Done On Earth" they pointed out that the KON was the U.S.S.R and that the KOS was the Anglo-American world power .
And that was fullfillment of prophecy no more interpretation was needed .
Time and unforeseen occurrences (history/world events ) make fools out of the GB of Jehovah`s Witnesses.
