Maybe its like the daily show and their way of telling folks they're one big joke!

The earth clearly revolves around the Watchtower HQ.

May be they are like the used car sellers that are trying to turn back the odometer, milage counter--time counter of the wt calender, so that the generation is actually shorter than 100 or 123* 'overlapping annointed' years old, --but they got only as far as the visuals.
* I am using the new 23 year rule for the "anointing' of an MS or higher"
could somebody post a clip of this? or a link?
BSW it has happened before in one of wt's early videos or films,

I also thought of the Superman reference.
Yeah, I bet they would like to turn back the clock and have some "do-overs".
First order of business would be to cancel the Zone broadcast...

Like I said earlier, it's the view from Jehovah's Celestial Chariot™, so of course, we're all wrong!!

Maybe the GB has confirmed that the South Pole is really the top of the world, not the North Pole. We know that the North Pole was predominent because 80% of civilization lived in the northern hemisphere when map making began. It was thought that the North Pole was the "top of the world." I don't know of any reason why the north pole has to be at the top except that near it is "magnetic north" - so our compass needles all point in that direction. However, scientists tell us that the geographic/magnetic North Pole is actually the south magnetic pole. So we could turn our maps upside down, put the South Pole at the top, let the earth rotate backward and change all of our clocks and maps. We could still leave Greenwich as the center point for time, except our clocks would go backward.
But we live by the traditions and guidelines developed by the Greeks and Romans - although the Babylonians and Egyptians were no slouches either. And we also have to give the ancient Arabs their due as well - since most of their mathmatics, map making, and geography systems still form the basis of our modern science standards.
Maybe in the New World Jehovah will order that New Light be directed from the south instead of the north and that the world will spin in the opposite direction.

People here is the explanation:
The sequence of the lights rotating behind the man talking, is a picture of the night-time earth as seen from the space station (Africa/Europe, Middle East from any satelite?)
The space station, and most satellites*, travels in the same direction as the earth rotation (I watched the shuttle deliver components, and curving up,up and away to the EAST), it gives them an extra 1000km/h boost! but
It revolves eastward 16 times faster than the earth's surface velocity. so:
as seen from the shuttle , the earth rotates backward 15 times faster than the moon, stars, that move backward too from our stand point. and
THANK YOU BLUE BROTHER! for putting up the real thing. we could have saved ourself all that hair raising speculation, had we seen it up front.
BSW wt had earlier depiction of the blue orb retrograding though, the points made were valid for that.
*most satellites, INCLUDING THE MOON.
