True, but the announcement did not go into the reason behind it. That is why I explained it.
In the meantime, the August Watchtower is out in 16 languages. The most recent is Spanish—the first major language for this issue: https://d34ji3l0qn3w2t.cloudfront.net/277518a9-528b-4606-924b-52d3f305d9e0/1/w_S_202408.pdf

These changes were already pretty well known months ago. Now that they are being officially announced in the WT, does that mean that the secret elders ' manual will now be amended to reflect the changes? When we were having this discussion months ago, an amended version of the manual came out, but it did not echo these changes.
Yes, the October 2024 update of the elder's manual will no doubt reflect these changes. The April 2024 update of the Shepherd book could not have already contained the changes, because it was printed in January (as per the date on the QR code on the back cover), and the changes were announced in March.

Assuming this leaked August 2024 Watchtower is legit
I can confirm and assure you that it is legit. The machine-translated PDF Atlantis posted was processed starting from the actual Tagalog (Filipino) edition of the magazine: https://d34ji3l0qn3w2t.cloudfront.net/e2678173-85cb-4413-ae25-336c2102660e/1/w_TG_202408.pdf
Chaka of the "Anthory Morris Returns" YouTube channel released a video where he and Arthur discussed some of the stuff in the articles based also on the actual Cibemba translation (Chaka is originally from Zambia and Cibemba is a major Zambian language). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTm_kZCHt2w

Wt has realesed article 9 languages but not in english?
They didn't release them officially. They just uploaded them to the content delivery network (hosted in a rented cloud powered by Amazon Web Services). I suppose we will see many more languages coming on Monday. After most of the languages are posted, then will they release the magazine by creating its entry on the main jw.org web site.
does anyone have access to available pre-recordings from the 2024 regional convention?.

uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
mikejw Lloyd still thinks the official doctrine is that only baptised JWs will survive
However, to have a guaranteed hope for salvation, one must still take a stand for Jehovah (i.e. become one of Jehovah's Witnesses). The May 2024 Watchtower makes this clear in study article 19. What has changed is the understanding that individuals can make up their minds even after the great tribulation begins.
