will they draw a new name out of a hat or do a kiss test i don't know..
SBF,
Being a helper may not be the main criterion. Was Sanderson? Professing to be anointed, and then having years of full time loyal service, meaning always being a company "yes" man, seem to be the main premises, not necessarily just being one of the helpers. After all, most helpers haven't made it to the GB, right?

joe134cd, thanks for the response. I have heard him rail against American football in some talk he gave that I saw online, so I knew he thought it was an overly violent sport. I understand that he got some negative feedback for his view supposedly because certain COs like football. I was not aware of the revised acronym—that's pretty funny.
So were you at Bethel? If so, when?

Has anyone else noticed how low key Gerrit Lösch has become? I remember about 4-5 years ago he said in a convention/assembly/broadcast that people should listen to classical music. He's always been an impeccable dresser and seemed to enjoy the "finer" things in life (at least finer in his mind). Putting two and two together, I cannot help but wonder if he's been opposed to this musical change (and likely others) but has simply been outvoted by fellow GBers. That may explain his near disappearance...

Excuse my ignorance, but what are "Field members" (listed in the "C:" at the bottom along with COs, assembly hall overseers, and convention committees)?
just approached a cart then with two jw girls holding out mags.
they continued chatting to each other about car insurance when i took the watchtower from one of their hands.. ok, so it looks like i'll have to get the ball rolling.
i asked if they were jehovahs witness.
pale.emperor, thx for the report slip. "Yah, vee haf more for our dossier on you!"
Interesting, isn't it, how the first item is physical appearance. The whole religion has become so surface, lacking much depth. Could you imagine a category on "teaching ability"?
sorry if it's a repost but it just seemed so funny i had to share it.. .

an interesting link that notes how jw (and mormon) door-to-door evangelism has dropped off:.

the aussie writer notices that instead they have "set up a stall in the carpark at the supermarket.".

I hope this isn't a repeat post, and I'm sorry if it is.
many of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".
this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.
we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.
eyeuse2badub,
Nope, not new light. For years they have cited Matt. 10:23, the last part, "you will by no means complete the circuit of the cities of Israel until the Son of man arrives," with the application that not all will hear the preaching work. So it's really nothing new. The Matt. passage is, of course, pretty cryptic.
