It seems to me a way to get rid of the oldtimers. Time for more change, maybe at congregational level. New, ambitious COBE's will implement every change to keep his position.

a new letter no longer allows an elder to be cobe if hes 80 or more.

i am inactive for about 10 years now..
Inactive. No preaching for 7 years (I still remember my last door when I decided there at that moment to stop.)
Since 2 years only attending memorial and a part of the DC. For you all know family reasons.
Never felt better! No problems with elders, they don't ask anything. Most JW's greet me and some not. It's their choice to make.
Our children do easter and birthday party's and we enjoy their happiness.

it's been a while since i've posted anything about myself.
i've been on jwn for a couple of years.
my leaving the organization was not because i lost my faith, but i left because of my faith.
Good story thanks!
i have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.
i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.
they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.
Safe Journey!
just heard from an elder.
he told me that there is another change to be announced in august.
he didn't know more about it.. any other info?.
The King is dead. Long live the King!!!
This picture is a internal PR illustration. The real GB meeting room was drawn in a recent Watchtower, placing it on top just below Jesus meeting room.
info from someone at the regional convention:.
(sorry about the format).
matthew 6:33 keep on seeking first the kingdom.
a couple of days ago in town i met a jw guy i have known since he was a kid in diapers, he is now an elder and must be 40 yrs old, still a kid to me, though.. he gave me the spiel about "we would love to see you come back " , i said that i could not come back to the religion i had left as it no longer existed (a line i got from my friend bill), this elder replied that there "had been changes, but the basics remain the same".. i just was not quick enough with this one, i just sort of nodded at that and went on about what i simply could not swallow as "truth".
overlapping generation etc etc.. what he was meaning by the basics being the same is that nothing has changed on the "what jw's don't believe in" front, i.e trinity, immortal soul etc.
the reality it is that the basics of jw/wt teachings about what they do believe in have all changed !.
so proclaimed the brother that read the wt letter tonight that explained the new kingdom hall funding arrangement.. everyone in the hall claps .... well, like it was the last talk on the district convention.. he says 'what bank would wipe out a debt of $200,000 ???
only jehovah's organization!
isn't this wonderful !!!".
This all look like Monopoly!
Go back to jail!
