Hmm... something oddly familiar here :)))

I think his light sources are placed more strategically not to reflect in the glass of his bookcase. The blobbing might be compression artifacts. He's been using the same framing and setup last fall. Since Tibor stepped into the scene, Lloyd's videos have indeed seen an improvement. I believe such speculation does more harm than good.

The metadata shows the document written by Kim Brooks, because she herself stated that she removed the e-mail address and copied the text into a document to make it shareable as a PDF. So this in itself does not prove that the statement is genuine.
However, it is wise indeed to wait for further proof of authenticity.

I wonder whether the Bethel elder came to Lloyd's judicial committee hearing just because the two other elders didn't speak English well enough? Isn't this a much more plausible explanation?

Awake Magazine - No Longer Being Printed?
by JWTom in
1. jw
2. friends
someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.

maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.

is this true?

Even according to the announcement in the November 2020 S-147, the magazines are too late. Awake no. 3/2020 was posted to JW.org in June 2020, no. 1/2021 should have been posted in October 2020, no. 2/2021 in February 2021. In December 2020 we should have had the public Watchtower no. 2/2021 according to the unadjusted schedule. The assets for Watchtower no. 2/2021 are on the JW.org already (cover: https://assetsnffrgf-a.akamaihd.net/assets/a/wp/E/202105/wpub/wp_E_202105_lg.jpg), however no content has been uploaded for Awake no. 1/2021 (which should have been dated March 2021). This very fact puts weight on the speculation regarding the silent ceasing of the magazine being published.

Watchtower is owned by the ecclesiastic hierarchy of Jehovah's Witnesses.

What happened to the 2020 Annual Meeting? Was it suspended?

anyone know?

Yes, the annual meeting will be posted in January in the form of prerecorded talks, and everyone (including Bethelites and others who otherwise would have joined the spiritual program at the Stanley Theater or some other facility) will watch the talks on JW.org early next year.
@slimboyfat : Nowadays the organization is focused more on producing digital content and video content. Apparently the demand for printed publications has diminished. And also paying for Akamai and Amazon cloud services is probably cheaper than printing as many pages as they used to print 15 years ago.
