Thank you Atlantis, you always come up with the goodies!
That front cover is a far cry from the one that someone put on here a week or so ago. No wonder they changed it! Printed copies of that magazine would be worth a fortune.

Died, like so many others in that war. Probably had well off relatives to commemorate his name in the local church.

the september watchtower has already been released and is being discussed over on reddit.
some highlights: .
1. more hitting the flock on total reliance and obedience to god's representatives on earth today, the f&ds (the governing body, of course).
Why can’t they just take the September WT, swap out the date in the cover and footers, and name <what was the September WT> as <the new August WT>?
The September WT is already on jw dot org. Too late for that idea FFGhost.

certainly amongst the best actors ever.
probably the best.

the upcoming governing body update, set to be released on friday this week, will feature a bearded samuel herd.. jwtalk website revealed the leak, so this thread will be used to speculate the content of the update and discuss the actual contents after its release..
I suppose we will have to call him 'Black Beard'.

there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.
even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.
.
When they existed, did district overseers visit congregations occasionally? If so, was it a bigger deal than a CO visit?
The CO and DO visited the congregation together for the week when the congregation was scheduled to be the "host" for the upcoming Circuit Assembly.

i open a new topic, to find out how it's going in your area.
from what i see as a southern european in my constituency the situation is patchy.. the congregation where i am now has 30% old people on zoom but also young couples with almost all their cameras off.
no increase but a slight decrease in the total number of publishers.. circuit assemblies: before covid you couldn't find a free seat if you arrived 10 minutes before the start.
Where I live in the UK the numbers are fairly stable, about 60 to the PT and WT, a few less to Mid-week meeting. Usually about 30+ on ZOOM but only half a dozen have their camera on.
The main reason for maintaining attendees is the very high number of immigrants that have moved in. I really don't know anything about most of them other than the fact i cannot understand much of what they say.

as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.
perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.
how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).
The flock don't use hardcopy.
Speak for yourself Gorby!
