You can watch today's Watchtower meeting on Youtube.com. The study and answer session is painful and exciting as watching paint dry.

Thank you, Blondie! Once you put away the rose-colored glasses, nothing will ever change in Watchtower land. Obey the ''faithful and discreet slave'' and leave your brains at the door.
JEHOVAH’S THOUGHTS AND YOUR FUTURE
20, 21. (a) Why will we enjoy relative freedom in the new world? (b) How can we obtain a measure of that joy now?
20 We keenly anticipate the new world.( We have only waited over 140 years) Most of us are looking forward to life without end on a paradise earth. ( ''paradise earth'' never appears in the Bible) Under Kingdom rule, mankind will be set free from the sorrows that characterize this system of things. Of course, even then, people will continue to exercise free will. Each person will make choices according to his or her preferences and desires. ( Actually, Elders will run the show with more rules and regulations. The rules are tight right now, let alone when Elders have more power and control. What are the choices, preferences, and desires that each person will have? They don't tell you!).
21 Of course, such freedom will not be absolute. ( You knew that was coming) In matters of right and wrong, meek ones will be guided by Jehovah’s laws and his thinking.( If you reached perfection in this new system, why don't you know what is right or wrong?) This will be delightful, resulting in the greatest joy and abundance of peace. (Ps. 37:11) Meanwhile, we can have a measure of that joy now as we make Jehovah’s thoughts our own. ( Actually, since the ''faithful and discreet slave'' are running the show here on earth, Jehovah and Jesus are standing in the background. ''God's thoughts'' are replaced by the Governing Body and all their false beliefs, doctrines and practices).

Just like everyone following the Watchtower Society the last 140 years and disappointed that paradise is nowhere to be seen, politicians are no different than those 8 morons sitting in their ivory tower in Warwick. They tell you what you want to hear. False promises and lies. Politicians work for special interests and corporations.
Here are some George Carlin quotes :
“Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.”
“Forget the politicians. Politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t,” Carlin said. “You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses, the city halls, they have the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies, so they own and control just about all the news and information you get to hear. They’ve got you by the balls.” -

Who Is Leading God’s People Today?
The Watchtower—Study Edition | February 2017
12 The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. In fact, the Watch Tower Publications Index includes the heading “Beliefs Clarified,” which lists adjustments in our Scriptural understanding since 1870. Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food. So how can we answer Jesus’ question: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” (Matt. 24:45) What evidence is there that the Governing Body is filling that role? Let us consider the same three factors that directed the governing body in the first century.
Since its appointment in 1919, the faithful slave has prepared spiritual food for God’s people.
In this Watchtower study, the Governing Body finally admits that they are neither inspired nor infallible, make mistakes in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. They have made adjustments since the 1870s. Who said that the ''spiritual food'' had to be perfect? ( Whatever that means!)
The article tries to show evidence on why the Governing Body is filling the role of the ''faithful and discreet slave.''
Paragraph:
13 Evidence of holy spirit.
14 Evidence of angelic assistance.
15 Reliance on God’s Word.
After reading this whole article, you will begin to understand all the reasons why Jehovah shouldn't use this organization to direct his people.
The internet has finally caught up to all their lies.

Watchtower February 15, 1981, pages 16-19
Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible?True, the brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers. (2 Tim. 3:16) And so, at times, it has been necessary, as understanding became clearer, to correct views. (Prov. 4:18) However, this has resulted in a continual refining of the body of Bible-based truth to which Jehovah’s Witnesses subscribe. Over the years, as adjustments have been made to that body of truth, it has become ever more wonderful and applicable to our lives in these “last days.” Bible commentators of Christendom are not inspired either. Despite their claims to great knowledge, they have failed to highlight even basic Bible truths —such as the coming Paradise earth, the importance of God’s name, and the condition of the dead.
Rather, the record that the “faithful and discreet slave” organization has made for the past more than 100 years forces us to the conclusion that Peter expressed when Jesus asked if his apostles also wanted to leave him, namely, “Whom shall we go away to?” (John 6:66-69) No question about it. We all need help to understand the Bible, and we cannot find the Scriptural guidance we need outside the “faithful and discreet slave” organization.
So, after admitting that the preparers of the Watchtower publications are not infallible, not inspired, need to correct, refine, adjust their Bible-based truths and that Bible commentators of Christendom are not inspired either, the question is asked, ''Whom shall we go away to?'' Who will help us understand the Bible and guide us Scripturally?
Jesus ..who has sayings of everlasting life? NOPE!
Whom? The continually refining and always adjusting ''faithful and discreet slave'' organization!
66 Because of this, many of his disciples went off to the things behind+and would no longer walk with him. 67 So Jesus said to the Twelve: “You do not want to go also, do you?” 68 Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, whom shall we go away to?+ You have sayings of everlasting life.+ 69 We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Some JW apologists have tried to reassure doubters that JW organization no longer trots out this blood guilty line. They're wrong! In a not to distant video, Morris (GB) hammered home this exact point of one's blood guilty status if you do not preach the JW warning.The last meeting I attended was over seven years ago. I was inactive in field service for years. The Elders were always hounding me to restart field service. I hated field service with a passion and was sitting at the meetings PIMO. ( PHYSICALLY IN MENTALLY OUT ) Here is what an Elder said in one of his Ministry School talks that made me walk out that night and tell myself to never go back to the Kingdom Hall.
''Anyone who does not go out in field service and preach ''the good news'' will not survive Armageddon.''

Love the picture, so Pirates will be resurrected with puffy shirts.
Blackbeard The Pirate still has his boots, frilly shirt, pants, and vest. But, he was made to get a short haircut, shave his beard ( only mustaches allowed), and has his gun confiscated!

It's true! According to this article, Blackbeard The Pirate, (one of the more ruthless pirates that patrolled the Caribbean) will be resurrected, becomes clean shaven(only a mustache and a nice short haircut) and starts a Bible study. Blackbeard ( who killed thousands of people and pillaged many villages) will be given a resurrection because of "never knowing about Jehovah." Meanwhile, millions will be destroyed at Armageddon because they rejected the preaching of the good news!
