My mother mentioned something about a special talk that's going to be at "all the KHs around the world" this weekend. Anyone know what it's about?

This is a promotion tactic to get people to go to the meeting. Saying it is "Special."
Remember there was to be a "Special" announcement to be made at the last Memorial? Turns out it was only a letter from the WT Society thanking people for attending! What a letdown!
The same old material is rehashed over and over again, they are trying to reserve it again, and keep people interested by calling it Special!
What's next? Calling it "NEW AND IMPROVED"?

I have managed to obtain a copy of the outline for the talk. Here it is:
"The world is going to hell. We knew it all along. God will fix it. Sell Watchtowers or die."

Wait, wait. It really is special. You see, most of the year, you get recycled talks that you've heard over and over. Last I knew, there were fewer than 150 in the series, so that means that if you've been a JW for more than 3 years, you've probably heard them all (or heard certain ones multiple times). If you were a JW for almost 30 years, like I was, then you've practically got them all memorized.
But once a year, they actually break down and write a new talk, which is presented as a "Special Talk" and added to the series so that it, too, can be given over and over again. After all, hearing it repeatedly will help you to
be fully indoctrinatedgrasp the material better. Meanwhile, besides the repeated public talks, they study the same books over and over again in the Book Study, and have been rehashing pretty much the same material from the same few publications in the Ministry School for, like, 50 years now.Now, I can go to most any church in Christendom, and the clergyman will have written a fresh sermon for that week, on whatever week I go there. But the Society sees fit to bash the churches because they lack the "abundance of spiritual food" available in "Jehovah's organization". How's that again?

Jehovah is Good.
We speak for Jehovah on Earth.
Only through us do you have any relationship with, access to, or payers heard by Jehovah.At armageddon everyone else is toast......burnt toast.
The emperor (WT) has cloths.
If you think the emperor (WT) has no cloths, reread preceeding statement till you believe he does.
Are you doing enough?
If you think you're doing enough reread preceeding statement over and again, reset your priorities, do more and act accordingly until you die.
Let's see....that should about cover it. -
