SBF, "if the economy in general gets worse." One has to wonder if any of the blunderous moves by Trump might lead to an economic decline—or worse. Then the GB might have to finally dip into their large gold reserves, you know, those ingots they've been keeping stashed away that are stamped with "keep until necessary for proving SBF incorrect"!

BA, thanks for the thread. Smart move on your grandpa's part.
Simon, the very high ups do get to stay under the care of doctors and nurses at HQ till their death. Does anyone know if Warwick has a special center for them now? At Brooklyn they had a sort of extended clinic for them. They must have worked in some sort of center for aging ones when they planned Warwick.

that happened to me once.

From the platform I once used a translation of the Bible in American Black English/Ebonics for the "down home" effect, and one of the old white sisters was very upset, saying that it was irreverent. Next time the CO visited and I was speaking to him after the meeting, she marched up, interrupted us, and "turned me in." The CO asked, "Well, what was the passage?" I repeated it from memory, and the old sister agreed. The CO then said how much he liked it, how he thought it got the point. The sister was quite angry at us both and went off very disappointed. The the CO and I then went back to our conversation. I was very fortunate to have had several genuinely loving, liberal COs.

Only one real point per WT study...
by JW_Rogue inhas anyone else noticed that in the wt study articles the main point they want you to remember is always somewhere around paragraph 11-14?

PE, nice observation. Ironic, isn't it, since the org says hypnosis is so evil?

Given the current climate in the WTS of printing in the main merely tracts, tiny magazines that are only a shadow of what they used to be, no bound books outside of the Bible itself and the one catechismal book used for conversion, their emphasis on electronic media, and their extreme de-emphasis on any kind of real Bible study, the chance of them printing anything like the old Make Sure of All Things book (1965) or its replacement, Reasoning from the Scriptures (1985), is zero.
Perhaps you could download a copy of the latter from the official JW website onto your smartphone. That would be closest thing. Don't count on any more hardback books, or even paperback ones from the WTS any more.
