I don't believe there is a major change on the horizon. The article is a triumph story about the GB. Holy Spirit, Angel help, God's approval etc. I think it is a clarification to the rank and file to set thinks straight about the past and not about the future!

Moving to Warwick Video incl. Morning Worship
by Listener ina new video is up about the commencement of moving to warwick.shawn bartlett tells the viewers that jehovah has said, through the governing body, ‘it’s time to move out of brooklyn.
‘ then helper robert lucciona says ‘ the governing body, these brothers, as soon as they see god’s direction, they just move, it doesn’t matter if it is long held, cherished ideas, this is the way it has to be done, as soon as they see jehovahs direction.
he just kept nudging imperfect humans, he knew where he wanted us and then we end up where we are supposed to be.

This is the propaganda for the world wide rank and file. How do you tell the poor part of the flock (Africa, South America, Asia) that you move into a new headquarter, just before the end of the world?
There is in the JW world no room for rational communication: we have to cut on finances, have a new strategy, new property management etcetera etcetera. No, there has to be a "heavenly" sauce on it, a halo light.
JW's don't mention this. Normal people get an internal alarm signal hearing this kind of propaganda.
It has some funny side also.

Hi Anders,
I attended the semi live streaming at the local kingdom hall. Not the dedication at Saturday but the Sunday session. Also with David Splane.
I have to say, he did a nice job. Not the "theology" man from Broadcasting. He was quit, humble and made uplifting comments.
It was a long time ago Gorby went home from a Kingdom Hall with some biblical points to think about.
And that's not bad at all, for a christian, isn't it?
They told the minimalistic design of the new hall will be the new standard worldwide.

JW remark about blood transfusion
by Gorbatchov inrecent i had a conversation with an old jw friend.
he told me his mother rejected a blood transfusion in a critical fase, and survived it, and of course it's good to hear that she makes it good now.. what me triggered, was a remark he made about what the elder of the hospital committee told him.. this elder praised the mother of my old friend because of rejecting the transfusion.
the elder told them that most jehovah's witness in the netherlands take a blood transfusion when their life is at stake.

This elder praised the mother of my old friend because of rejecting the transfusion. The elder told them that most Jehovah's Witness in the Netherlands take a blood transfusion when their life is at stake. And that here rejection is with that in mind a good and rare example.
So, my observation is that although the doctrine is still there, most witnesses in more "individual" cultures like here in Holland choose to make their own decision.

I always wondered that the PR department had less influence and was less in "the air" then the 1995 - 2000 years. Jarracs?

The 1914 doctrine: How long it will last?
by opusdei1972 inone hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.
and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??
?.

by Nicholaus Kopernicus ini was really puzzled when i opened this edition of the wt magazine at the above “study”.

See the new Dutch assembly hall
by Anders Andersen in...it looks like a generic, easy to sell barn hall.. https://youtu.be/eqwrfhbbqwy.
nothing like the old hall it's built next to.. the small room in the video is the indoctrination education center.. the building is completed one year ahead of schedule.
my guess: it's either much simpler than they originally planned, and/or they had more volunteers because nothing else is being built.. video is dutch, but nothing interesting is said anyway..

All conventions will be held there. This year the last conventions in Holland took place in external locations.
It's a keep the money in the corporation strategy.
Many big corporations have this strategy, preventing the cash flow going to external stakeholders like convention property owners.
The money stays inside now.
