I wonder how many of the R&F even know about this. Nobody has mentioned it to me in conversation or on ZOOM meeting.

have the rank and file been told not to "gossip", or "question" about mr morris yet?
i am mindful of how questioning decisions was discouraged and being told to keep things confidential.
( maybe too soon, but do share if a special needs part comes up) you would think that common sense would tell them they cause the questions when they don't share reasons.

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
As I recall the 3 others that were removed from the GB the announcement in the OKM was as for AMIII but it also said "and are no longer members of the Bethel family"
So maybe he is not on GB anymore but still at Warwick. Time will tell.

i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.
thanks..
I think what you are referring to is a video on YouTube. There are several variations of this but they all start at 539 BCE and work backwards to Neb'r and then down to 586/7 BCE. This is probably the one you have in mind:-

have you guys noticed, this year 2023 no more public edition magazines...i wonder how they are gonna spin that fact.
Special World Wide WT campaign in September 2023. So special they cannot even publish a new magazine, they will be using the Public WT No. 2 from 2020.
I think they have long since run out of ideas.

i had a hunch that wt was going to do so, but this is happening quite soon.
At my age there is no way I am returning to meetings at the KH. I'm sure many more of a similar age to me in the congregation feel the same way. Getting there is difficult, there is little parking nearby, it's expensive and Public Transport takes an age.
ZOOM ON FOLKS!

.....you imperfect shower!!!.
w74 2/1 p. 96 questions from readers - “in the case of those who will rule with jesus christ, jehovah god...“declares them righteous” and thus views them as being perfect, without sin, while yet in the flesh on earth.” (rom.
8:33) .
This WT is from 1974. Two members of the GB at that time were Chitty and Greenlees Had they been declared righteous, perfect and without sin by God? If so he really got it wrong with that pair!

isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?
I am sure there are a lot of JWs in their 30s - 50s who are only still there for the sake of parents.
Very true, however, I am sure there are a lot of JW's in their 70's to 80's who are only in still for the sake of their children and ultimately themselves. Nobody wants to be old and infirm without the support of their family. Too late to leave, insufficient advantages compared to the status quo.

regular pioneers: 600 per year, 50 on average per month.auxiliary pioneers: 30 hours per monthauxiliary pioneers in march and april: fee reduced to 15 hours.
Ron, I busted a gut and more , 1200 hours for 20 years.
It wasn't just the number of hours, it was the way they were earned! My wife pioneered for years in the 1960's and 70's, there was no standing around with a witness trolley for hours on end drinking Costa and talking to ones mates. There was no phone witnessing, letter writing. It was all D2D, Back Calls and Studies. Literature had to be paid for so it was never dumped in the local washeteria or doctor's waiting rooms. She always aimed for about 115 hours to allow for holidays, assemblies, illness etc. The annual hour requirement had to be met to continue as a pioneer.
