Like so many of my age, born in the 1940's I would never go to school in this old system. Well I did and by 1954 was well established in school and the rest is history as they say. I have never heard about 1954 as anything special.

Did Watchtower Really Teach That Armageddon Was Coming in 1954?
by Jerome56 inin the march 2025 jw broadcast david splane in his morning worship talk mentioned that "some thought" that armageddon would come 40 years after 1914. such statements are usually meant to shift the blame of their own false predictions on to their members for speculating.
however, i was unable to find anything in print showing that such a thing was indeed taught by the society.
was this really a thing?.

Some years ago the Memorial talk was completely changed. From that time on there has been no mention of Nisan 14 and the Israelites in Egypt, killing the lamb, sprinkling the blood etc. The complete Passover part was removed. Even the song, "'twas Nisan 14 when your glory was seen...." was removed and substituted with another.
Can anyone remember the year this change took place? I never heard any explanation as to why the change but just assumed they had discovered they were celebrating on the wrong after all.

All his videos were Removed.
@liam That's not actually true. If you go on to jw dot org, videos and type in the search Anthony Morris you will find loads of his videos. That is how I found the GB update where he said they will NEVER change. I posted that a couple of days ago.

What is the connection with To Mo ?
He actually said we will NEVER change. See the GB Update video below.
Well as we all know they did change their policy and ToMo III was no more.
Money tops everything!

Sorry about getting the date wrong, I had just had a call-out as I was posting it. It is of course May 2025. The picture, as far as I can tell is identical to the August 2024 WT (see below) that was cancelled. As I understood it the lady sitting was an ex-JW who had fallen on bad times as everyone does when leaving "the truth"(!) The couple going by to do trolley (cart) witnessing were being faithful by not stopping to talk to her. Rather like the videos at the RC a few years ago when they showed not to answer a phone call from such ones.
Of course in view of the publicly softening the stance on DF and DA ones for the benefit of the Norway court/government this was pulled and the articles rewritten.

Pass on cars to attend Assemblies?
by psyco ini have just read a post about february 2025 (i suppose) announcements in italy saying that from now on at assemblies they need a pass, given by elders, to put on cars.. is that possible/true?.
thanks!.

Here in the UK we need a pass to display on the car when we attend Circuit Assemblies at Hayes Bridge. It is obtained from a nominated elder and it is a requirement that you have a full complement of passengers.
As regards the Regional Convention at AMEX in Brighton there is very little on site parking. Disabled drivers can get a pass and so can essential workers but once again you must have a full compliment of passengers. The preferred method of travel is a hire coach or public transport. Getting out of the car park at the end of the day is a nightmare apparently.
