JW - I was thinking the same thing. However, it could be the staging ground for a new JW era. I really think bigger changes are yet to come.

If def seems like some big changes are coming, they're going after #'s now, there is no denying that. They want to make a splash in the religous world.
1914 will slowly be faded but it'll take years and years. Peirce is now dead so tech it's all "New Guys" on the GB that have a say now. I expect blood to be slowly faded too and DF losened. It's all going to change, some quicker than others.
After the annual meeting I could tell they know the end isn't coming soon. One GB talked about future expansion over the next 2 years and didn't even say if the end doesn't come. Bigger changes are yet to come, #'s is the main game now.
All the old stuff is out the window with these new guys. Almost all the older teachings are getting squashed in favor of easier less contriversal teachings.

All of Jesus parables have been simplified. They no longer were prophecy fulfilled around the 1914 era. All evil slaves etc are just a warning now. Talents just means gifts all have been given. There are no longer meanings to every little thing that they use to apply around the 1914 date.
JW TV station along with video ondemand which will allow people to also tie in for family worship
2014 service year peaked at over 8 million - 19.5 and counting for memorial
New app featuring 4k different phrases in different languages
New videos, music videos etc...
100k requests for bible studies over the last 2 years on JW.org 550 languges, 700 publications in different languages, 1.5 unique visotors daily from August to September
Bethelites can now go to pioneer school
Types and Antitypes don't apply as much as they use to and they said, "Where the bible is silent, we must be silent"
Gog of Maygog "Is most likely the king of the north and not satan now"
Pocket size edition of the new bible
New audio bible is being completed, different voice for every character

can anyone verify the new "basic pioneer" rumor?
by Chris Tann inso it's rumored started by one member that there is a new pioneer rank called basic pioneer, announced at annual meeting.
can anyone verify this is true?
everything else presented at the meeting has been verified except this.

thedepressedsoul
Let me confirm these rumors
1) This is 100% not true in regards to 10 hours
2) Nothing of this sort was mentioned at the annual meeting - Only change to the service meeting is that after Jan we will be going over the new songs during the servive meeting.
3)No but Bethelites will now be able to attend pioneer school

Do the Governing Body believe their own teachings or know it's a lie? Are they atheists?
by BucketShopBill inthe new young blood gb member, you think he really thinks this is the truth or is he protecting his financial interest like all the older gb members who enjoy basking in glory of men?
do you think they believe in the "over-lapping generation" or was that a mistake done by barr?.
how much of the watchtower and the bible do the governing body know, ray franz jr. said he was not impressed with their bible knowledge and their lack of knowledge of the watchtower cannon.

@designs, we won't know until Jesus comes again and tells us fully how he wants to be followed. The bible in it's current state can be taken way too many different ways for any resonable god to hold a humans life to it.
I will be more then happy to follow Jesus and God 100% to the T when they are willing to show us how.

Another reason I know they know its complete BS:
A friend of mine said he was talking to a member and they told him they can feel god's spirit moving and directing them during their meetings. I flag went off in my head when he said that. They know it's 100% bs and making a statement like that proves it.

1914 or 1934 ?
by Chris Tann ini have thoroughly researched the watchtower doctrine of 1914, and am convinced it is neither biblically or historically correct.
but every now and then i wonder how ironic it is that world war 1 did start in that year, also pestilence and famine perused.
maybe, just maybe the witnesses are correct.

Honestly, 1914 should not matter to a Christian. Christians are supposed to live by the bible until his second coming, no matter what date or time frame. All dates do is get people excited.
Imagine if 1914 is 100% not correct? That means The JW had millions of people worship a date that does not exist and celebrate its 100 year birthday. To make it even worse, is that it is a pagan date that Russell helped to base off of Pagan Egyptians.
Now that will be a heavy load for these men to carry and answer for if Jesus does come a second time...

To make this even more interesting, how many of you think they actually believe in 1914? haha
