Its the biggest event on the JW calendar.
It presents them with the opportunity for hype and activity...there is no way I can ever see it changing.
i heard this on the youtube channel - bad jw round table discussions and i normally don't give much thought to rumours, i did find this one interesting.one of the guys on the channel said that there are plans that 'the other sheep' will be told not to attend any future memorials.he was asked how credible was this and he said that it is talk going around by those in the know, just like there had been those that knew about the fairly recent new edition of the bible being in production.even if this is probably just a rumour, the idea has a lot of merit.
the benefits for the organization outweigh the negatives and would fit in with their current direction.here are some of the benefits, for the org.
that could come from it- the biggest benefit would come from not having to accommodate so many attendants, which are more than double a normal meeting.

Great thread!
Yes, another case of history being re-written by the society!
"When we said what we said, we actually meant to say what we now say we said"
So if we just remove the words "exmormon" and replace it with "witness", the pie graph can be perfectly applied to all of us!
(Perhaps someone with more skill can make that up and post it?)
Thanks to doubtful1799 for sending this to me!
oh so it's jesus fault the spiritual food hasn't been perfect!
we your governing body are just responsible for serving it!
think about this people, they are saying it was jesus who told us the end was going to come in 1975. then before the 1914 generation passed away no later than the 1990's.
Jesus and Jehovah were just having a bad day when they dispensed such wrong information....

in the latest issue of double-speak, i'd like to highlight these two statements:.
page 3, par.

While on tour, have a list of questions at the ready.
For example, "is it true that you people once taught that Christ would return in 1874?"
or
"did you teach that the ancient worthies would return to live in a big house called bath sarim?"
etc....
