Yes, slimboyfat, it was overly exaggerated on the exjw Reddit. Only 1 week late, though I still anticipate the wait will extend into several more weeks. As a guess, I reckon the August Watchtower will be released online at the same time as the September study edition in 3 weeks time or at the same time as the October study edition at the end of July.

Why? Is there more information to this than just the lateness?

Watchtower: "We don't have a 10 year plan, the end can cone anytime soon"
Exjws: "There is no 10 year plan, because Watchtower has no plan, it is impulsive in its decisions"
10 years later...
Watchtower: "Brothers, we have seen many changes in the last decade!"
Exjws: "Holy shit, despite them not having any real plan the religion has gone through a multitude of reforms"
And the hamster wheel will spin, forever!

Is it just me, or does anyone else suspect that the cult's hierarchy is pulling JW's and ex-JW's chains with their calculated delay in publishing it?
As Billy Shakespeare would say, "Much ado about nothing."

UKPimo Also, why is there an additional change to the 2025 Kingdom Ministry school to include elders and MS wives for final two talks? Is there going to be new direction that will allow wives of appointed men to also have assignments at the Kingdom Hall??? If this proves true, a past speculation about this will have come true
*I think it's far more likely that this talk is going to be around CSA issues and direction regarding judicial cases since elders/MS wives now have a role as confidente/support personnel for the victims of CSA or rape cases. This, I'll venture to guess, will also include domestic violence cases in the future, too.
I think roles for women will enter 'through the backdoor', as it were, via cases such as these.
*Haven't read through whole thread apologies if I'm repeating info. -

Methinks you all are over thinking this. They wrote something embarrassing that suddenly needs changed. The sheeple are not privy to the delayed WT so it is not pulling chains.
As for wives; "special "(tm). Two hours of bs that could be covered in 10 minutes. Where do they put the snot nosed kids?
Remember the missing df video from last year-most never caught on.

The Watchtower Study edition always comes out around the 20th-22nd of each month. The one for August 2024 was supposed to be released no later than May 25th. I'm 2 weeks late. Some think that it contains 5-6 studies and that is the reason for the delay. This is not true, in fact they sent the note only for the elderly. There were only 2 cases that were similar but not exactly the same.
1) the withdrawal from the printing presses of the book on Giacomo as Raymond Franz states
2) Ted Jaracz's attempt to block the printing of an Awake!, as Barbara Anderson states
but this case w August 2024 seems one of a kind.
