At an expected donation of $75 per family, which will not be happening - I wonder how long the society will continue with SAD/CA. They are no longer the cash cow they used to be.
For $75 I know far more fun things to do with my family...

FrenchFreeJW - No, there was nowhere else to hurl Satan...as in the iron age period in which peasants who did not even know the Earth revolves around the Sun wrote the Bible, there were no telescopes and it was therefore either Heaven OR Earth...

Be prepared - "Every Effort" to bring back inactive ones from their miserable lives is soon to kick off...
16 Help those who have become inactive.
Jesus said that there is joy in heaven when just one lost sheep is found. Obviously, Jehovah cares deeply about all those who have expressed love for his name, even if they are not actively serving him at present. When we help such ones return to the congregation, we contribute to making Jehovah and the angels rejoice.
17 Are you among those who are not now actively serving God? Perhaps someone in the congregation hurt you and as a result you stopped associating with Jehovah’s organization. Since some time may have passed, ask yourself: ‘Is my life now more meaningful, and am I happier? Was it Jehovah who offended me, or was it an imperfect human? Has Jehovah God ever done anything to harm me?’ Really, he has always done good toward us. Even if we are not living up to our dedication to him, he allows us to enjoy the good things he provides. Soon, Jehovah’s day
will come. Now is the time to return to our heavenly Father’s loving arms and to the congregation—the only safe haven in these last days. -

A New Lightbulb
by wearewatchingyouman in"the truth" it seems to me like a lightbulb.. .
when i think of "new light", i don't think of the sun or the moon or the stars.
an ever present ray of light.

A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth. ‘New Light’ never extinguishes older ‘light’ but adds to it.”—Zion’s Watch Tower, February 1881, p. 3
It is compared to lighting a building, where you light up one gaslight at a time (this approach makes sense). Not having past truth suddenly be a DF offence. -

If they changed their blood ban would their be a floodgate of lawsuits?
by Londo111 ini know nothing about legal matters, but there are those here who are quite keen at these things.. if they changed the no blood teaching, would this open the watchtower society up to litigation?.

This did not happen when they ended their ban on vaccinations, nor did it happen when they ended the ban on organ transplats. Therefore, I think it will not be too bad.

THE QUOTE THE WBATS DENIES MAKING OF 1975!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inthe wtbats like to state "we never stated when the end will come" when they blatantly have:.
1969 "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

*** w68 8/15 pp. 500-501 par. 35 Why Are You Looking Forward to 1975? ***
One thing is absolutely certain, Bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled Bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of man’s existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation! (Matt. 24:34) This is, therefore, no time to be indifferent and complacent. This is not the time to be toying with the words of Jesus that “concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matt. 24:36) To the contrary, it is a time when one should be keenly aware that the end of this system of things is rapidly coming to its violent end. Make no mistake, it is sufficient that the Father himself knows both the “day and hour”! -
