  That's what I'm wondering. Just given comments he made in the past I thought it might be a possibility.

  Cringe in December

  oh boy, the meetings lined up for december are culty.. it all starts with a 5 minute talk someone has to give on the topic "why should we not be troubled by the increase of memorial partakers in recent years?".

  the next week again inserts jws into bible prophecy, first with "the earth swallowed up the river", which claims that court victories for the org are really god's doing.

  there is no mention on who is responsible for the many judgements against the org.. then there's this chart to be discussed that same night:.

  my uber cousin and wife are going back to wallkill this weekend for the annual meeting since they have a daughter and son in law in the inner sanctum so they are always invited.

  cousin said it was going to be broadcast from patterson to wallkill.

  anyone hear anything else about subject matter etc?.

  Whatever happened with WT televising the AM proceedings to certain locations and inviting only a select few to attend?

  They only do that for "special" ones. So far: The release of the revised Bible, and the dedication of Warwick, combined with the annual meeting. But they do still stream it to the other English speaking Bethels.

  This is something being done at numerous locations. They want to make all the celebrating, screaming and events seem spontaneous and 'joyfull', but it's really all planned from HQ.

  Great question 😅

  Honestly the biggest changes were Rutherford and the board of directors. Christmas, birthdays, Pyramidology, date setting, etc. would remain for years to come. And more would be added after they were chosen: no vaccines, no organ transplants, etc etc etc

  The following weeks ramp things up with the beasts of prophecy, Armageddon and more urgency. Looks like that month's meetings will be a little more uncomfortable than usual.

  New Armageddon date?

  looking at the most recent wt the study article focuses on the jubilees.

  the made a separate box in the article to highlight the math behind jubilees, and i'm wondering if they're trying to get people thinking and stir up the pot without actually making a false prophecy.

  for instance: jubilees happened every 7 times 7 years.

  Ah yes, the Patterson renovation project, the "Educational Center", (deceptively named such to get around a technicality), thereafter to be sold at a higher value. How happifying!

  one of jws oldest beliefs, going back to the bible students, was quietly turned to old light in the latest wt.

  in questions from readers, it explains that when satan told eve 'you certainly will not die', he wasn't starting the doctrine of the immortal soul, but that rather came later, after the flood..
