There have always been good eggs just as there have always been bad eggs, individuals are individuals. Point is though there never was an ideal golden age of JW-dom, they've been corrupt from the get go.

Of course in recent years they've explained many times that prophecy isn't usually understood until AFTER it happens . . . How very convenient.

Here's just a few random observations from tomorrow's WT study:
Jesus’ command to make disciples was not limited to Christians living in the first century. How do we know? Jesus concluded his instructions to his followers with the words: “I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matt. 28:20)
I can't understate how ridiculous this is, because it's obviously referring to the destruction of Jerusalem. Then it goes on to say
True to Jesus’ words, today the disciple-making work is in full swing. Think of it! Nearly 300,000 people each year get baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses and become disciples of Jesus Christ!
Yes, but meanwhile OVER 300,000 people are born every day . . . And the world population currently increases by 81 million net every year!
Then there's this insidious gem about starting new income streams from even Bible studies.
When the time is right, do not hold back from mentioning the privilege of supporting the Kingdom work financially.
Finally, there's this choice bit regarding taking the Circuit Overseer with you on a study.
If you are not comfortable conducting the study in the presence of an experienced brother, invite him to conduct the study on that occasion.

Child Baptism - March 2020 monthly program
by neat blue dog inthe march 2020 monthly program of jw broadcasting mentions child baptism a couple of times.. the first was in an interview with an 80-something jw who said that after he was baptized he prayed 'you can bring the end any time now jehovah', admitting that his likely reason was that he thought the end was imminent and he would die otherwise.
but then he goes on to recommend child baptism, saying it should be "for as young as they can possibly make it".. then regarding some large recent conventions, they mention that at one where almost a thousand were baptized, are large portion (no exact number given) were children..

May 2020 Study WT - more convoluted false prophesying
by neat blue dog inthe first two study articles of the latest wt raise the usual sense of urgency with more of the same theological quackery russell would be proud of.. first up, something we've always known, the embarrassing admission that jws think they are the center of the universe:.
even though god’s servants make up only a small portion of the world’s population, they are often at the center of major world events.
because satan and his entire system have one prime objective—conquering those who serve jehovah .

The first two study articles of the latest WT raise the usual sense of urgency with more of the same theological quackery Russell would be proud of.
First up, something we've always known, the embarrassing admission that JWs think they are the center of the universe:
even though God’s servants make up only a small portion of the world’s population, they are often at the center of major world events. Why? Because Satan and his entire system have one prime objective—conquering those who serve Jehovah
To further prop this idea up, they say that the "Daniel's Prophecy" book is now outdated and that no 'kings of the north or south' existed during 'the apostasy'. Instead, they come about for some reason before the supposed last days and even before the F&DS:
In 1871, the year after Russell and his associates formed their Bible study group, the king of the north reappeared.
This King is identified as the German Empire under Otto von Bismarck. That's right: Somewhere in Pennsylvania, there was a rich kid with too much time on his hands who read a book or two and was taken in by religious charlatans and then developed delusions of grandeur. This made Satan angry, who rose up powerful fighting empires just to snuff them out! Make sense?
To top it all off, there's a new mega four-page chart. Remember Splane's famous overlapping generations chart? Well this one takes multiple scriptures from different time periods/circumstances and makes one convenient and selective Frankenstein's monster of a 'timeline' of overlapping prophecies. And yes, it does use that word:
The prophecies mentioned in this chart overlap one another
Seriously, I don't know how I'm gonna be able to attend this meeting.

For some reason, I got a whim to change the words of a Kingdom Song to be about Anthony Morris.
(song #179, "There's a faithful little flock, on Jehovah it must wait . . .")
There's a hateful little fuck.
He's part of the hateful eight.
Likes to drink his booze and be
a loose cannon on the stage.
Distractions unceasing,
while flocks they are fleecing.
College, hotdogs, unisex,
wild socks and ti-ight pants,
just one more of his rants.

2019 Annual Meeting: more F.O.G.
by neat blue dog inafter the new construction project is announced, anthony morris the turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work.
he says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy.
no graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up.

Is this "David Sanderson gives an impassioned talk..." David Splane or Mark Sanderson
It's "Mark" Sanderson, although Mark is really his middle name. Just like "Steven" is really Lett's middle name. I just called Sanderson by his legal first name.

After the new construction project is announced, Anthony Morris the Turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work. He says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy. No graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up. (His voice is also a little slurred and constant stumbling of his words, which makes me wonder if he takes a sip or two to loosen up before going on stage, like his kindred spirit Rutherford, but that's another story.)
Then, David Sanderson gives an impassioned talk meant to whip up fear and emotion about the JWs in Russia and how the persecution is supposedly coming over here too. Oh, and AM3 also said that the Great Tribulation is 'very close'.
It's funny, in both talks they say specifically that the audience shouldn't feel guilty or afraid, but that's EXACTLY what they're trying to do.
