Yikes, what a can of worms I opened! ;)
Who guessed correctly? All of the above. Na, I'm just kidding.
Actually, if you put two separate posts together, you almost have the Big News except that one component is lacking. How about that for a hint?
Even though the Big News is serious stuff, Joe and I had to laugh at some of the excellent and very funny conjectures.
Thank you for not spilling the beans if you already know what subject the Big News is about. Very few people have actually seen what's coming: For instance, my husband, Joe, saw it; also, my mother and my sister-in-law dropped their teeth in amazement. And four well-known XJWs who offered their expert opinions when the Big News was not yet complete. And two non-Witness experts who are close to XJWs approved of it. Then there are the hordes of experts who are part of the group who gave their blessing to the Big News who never before had any dealings with JWs or XJWs.
And many thanks go to extraordinary people who are now translating the Big News into nine languages with more to come. I want to thank them for their time-consuming volunteer work and not spilling the beans.
Now here's the best part, and, ladies, you will be happy to hear this: We owe the Big News to a WOMAN! And it's not me. I wish it was. I wish I had the good sense to ferret this out, but I didn't. Stupid me, I was just too trusting.
We owe this wonderful woman a debt of thanks and gratitude. Hopefully, early next week you will hear her name for the first time, but not the last.

Nope, I'm not going to budge. No more information. I'm leaving the computer for the next few hours, so please folks keep this thread up front. Let everybody see it. It might give hope to those who the WT made hopeless. Yes, there is something to look forward to that might even get our relatives back in our lives. (Are we sure we even want that?) ;)
I hope I'm not expecting too much even in my family, but where there's no longer WT control, there's hope.

I'm was having a bit of fun with my teasers although the subject of the Big News is not funny. That's the one and only hint I'm giving. But I might be misleading you. You'll know next week! Oh, and don't worry about WT figuring out what is going on because I want them to worry about what is going on!
Joe and I carefully read each and every post you put on this thread and sorry to keep you all on the edge about this. I'm actually not doing this to have fun, but to get everybody interested in the Big News. I just don't want to introduce the News next week cold turkey. It is very important information and if I was still a JW and found out about this, I really believe I would immediately walk away from the WT and never look back. I sincerely hope that thousands upon thousands do just that when they read for themselves how they have been bamboozled, duped and hoodwinked!
This information won't bring WT down immediately, but we, by our activism can cause it to lose all credibility in the eyes of the world and among their members. Just think what that will do to their arrogance.
I will be demanding an apology from the WT and if I know you all, you will do the same.
Another thing I want to say here. To the thousands of you who are lurkers and to those who are posters, when you find out just how deceiving the WT has been, you might seriously think about confronting all of your XJW relatives and make sure they know that we all gave our loyalty to a lying bunch of fools. It's time to stand up for what is right. When people stood up in Berlin, the Wall fell. Don't let the threat of disfellowshipping and shunning stop you cause we're going to win this battle. Now if you don't agree with me, that's okay. Only you know your cirumstances.
Another thing. When the Big News comes out, there will be many, many questions. Don't be cynical until you understand the full ramifications of the Big News. I knew the moment I saw it what it will do to the organization, but my background is a bit different than most of you.
I certainly agree with so many of your posts made here, but avishai said it wonderfully when he said, "Yes, there are brainwashed suckers for punishment that will NEVER leave the JW's. Duh. But these kinda news things bring out the SMART ones. OK? The ones that can benefit the most anyway. Or the hurt ones, who will finally get help on the outside." So be hopeful like the avishai class rather than cynical.

If we activists produce thousands and thousands of letters in protest to our former "Mother," yes, I believe it will be a Time magazine cover story. It's up to us, guys and gals to make this happen.
I know, I know, Ozzie, it's getting terribly hard to keep a lid on this one. But I can do it, I can do it, I can do...

Hmmm...or maybe 'Campaign Strategy'.....
by MidwichCuckoo inreading andersonsinfo's thread yesterday made me think.
the best way to make the public aware of any issue is by educating them through entertainment.
i'd never even heard of schindler (shame on me) until the film was made - and that's what people want.

I personally know a film maker who sometimes posts on JWD. He's an XJW from England who now lives in the States. When the big news, the big expose' breaks, it will take on a life of its own throughout the world, slowly I'm sure to get to other countries, although we have arranged for translators who are busy doing their thing right now as I write this, but the news will travel and impact 6 million lives. Yes, we need a documentary.
When the big news breaks, I bet the producers of KNOCKING will cease and desist their WT apologist production. I think I should be the first to notify them of the NEWS that's bigger than the Dateline, BBC, CBC, etc. sexual child abuse WT cover-up expose'. ;-)

Jehovah's Witnesses won't be able to call this one "persecution." Watchtower lied, hence this expose'. You will be shocked at what WT did when you find out. I was shocked, but not surprised. I was angry, then happy that they have been caught!

Please do get your hopes up. Yes, it's bigger than a breadbox!
I can hardly wait to tell you and those at Watchtower headquarters (if they are reading this) the news. Yep, this is really big. Get ready to be an activist because you will have some big ammunition to fight WT injustice with. I kept many job-related secrets while I was at Bethel, and I kept this big secret for months now, but I'm about ready to break. ;)
So far I've not heard any information that would mean what I'm expecting to happen won't, so I can hardly wait until next week.
Say folks, this is what they call, so I'm told, a "teaser." Have I captured your interest yet?

Attn: XJW Community--Let's not just complain about WT-Let's be ACTIVISTS!!
by AndersonsInfo inthere are many ways that we can actively protest against the watchtower's unjust and damaging policies.
here is one example of a method that is proving successful.
writing a letter is time-consuming for the author, but the results are worth it.

Well, four more people PMd me. Please keep those PMs coming. Are you really interested in doing something about Watchtower's power? If you are, let me hear from you.
