talk outlines you might want and a lot of them are dated 2020.. .

let me know if anyone wants the "original" zion's watch tower issues in pdf and searchable.
Does anyone have a copy of the Public Talk outline
"The origin of humans - does it matter what you believe?"
I have the 2000 version (133) but wondered if there is a later version. Atlantis's file link above is no longer valid.
Many thanks in advance.

i was listening to the co talk to my wife’s congregation on sunday and pretty much the complete talk was justifying doctrinal and organizational changes and pretty much preparing the ‘rank and file’ for upcoming changes.
anyone on hear have any insight of what ‘new light’ is coming in the future?.
Any changes of doctrine will be trivial items that will largely go unnoticed and mostly not understood or cared about.
I cannot see any major changes such as dropping 607BCE which would wake up too many if they admitted they had had this date wrong since they changed from 606BCE back in 1943.
The investment in Ramapo and such shows it is going to be a digital future and selling KH's and AH's will speed this along.
I may be too old to see many of the changes but they will come.

rutherford said:.
a few words like the above pronounced at the beginning of the study would be far more beneficial than to occupy the same time in singing songs, which often express much that is out of harmony with the truth of and concerning god's kingdom.watchtower/1938/may/1st/pg.139 .
back then, they had what was called: order of study, and this is what every overseer was instructed to say to the audience.. .
Well Atlantis, they certainly didn't mention that in this week's video "The Gift of Song Part 2". When you want to know the full story instead of the redacted version, we know where to come!
Thank you

so i have not been to a kh for 26 years.
if i wanted to dissociate what would be the procedure and is there any gain in doing it so long after i left?.
I suppose all congregations are different.
In my congregation after a fortnight you'll probably be forgotten. We have quite a lot of old/sick ones, some in nursing homes. They never get a mention until the announcement for the funeral.

if you are a jw you think god is punishing watchtower?
after watchtower got banned in russia and buildings seized, lot's jws said russia would be punished.
org kept losing in court with child abuse cases.
Don't blame God. The problems are caused by having incompetent ex missionaries, ex DO's and the like trying to run a multi billion dollar corporation. They have no education, no training and no real experience. A recipe for disaster.

is watchtower faking there member numbers?
i live in europe.
for the last 15 year's probably 25 person i knew or more were df, pimo, left by own will, inactive.
Four years ago we had a congregation with just on 100 active publishers. I have no idea how many report now but our meeting attendance, even with ZOOM is rarely above 50. There is a malaise even among the elders, trying to get people to answer is like getting blood out of a stone.

i was never a witness but i think they keep extensive records.
could they produce these names today?.
mostly curious.. .
I think they are speaking of after Armageddon when all the 144K are in situ in the heavens.
How will this list of names be conveyed to the earthly survivors? I suspect MBC's idea of the CIA stars is the most likely. They will be erected on a wall, blank of course, and during the night they will be magically miraculous filled in or engraved by an angel with an engraving tool and a scroll, probably written by Chief David Splane.

Can someone with dementia die and leave their money to the Society in their will?
Definitely! I remember a case some years ago where a brother was disfellowshipped but died before he changed his will, leaving everything to the WT Society. Not only did they accept it but refused to make a small donation from it to the autistic nephew of the brother.

Having a meal with your D/Fed boss is also a No-No as Raymond Franz found out.

a couple of threads over on reddit that there is a letter to elders on restarting meetings.
i find this hard to believe and have not seen anything on this from our trusty sources on this site.
can anyone confirm?.
There is a new thread saying some meetings to return in Hong Kong from 1st November 2021.
