remember 1975?
maybe when you were a kid - like i was?
i will celebrate 01.10.2025 the 50th anniversary of the "end of 6000 years of human history and the immediate end of the world".
Saw this on Flickr recently. Summed up the JW journey for me. My parents married during WWII and I was born with my parents convinced I would never go to school, get married, work, retire etc. Well you can work out my age, I look like the passengers in the train, well almost, so many more just like me and many that have died along the way whilst waiting.

but what they don't say he left started and ran a real estate company and a global real estate consulting firm and apparently after making a fortune come back to bethel a few years ago.
how in the hell could a non lifer now be anointed and appointed to be a gb member.
sure can't be for his spiritual qualifications!.
I don't think they have ever really let go of the reins. From their declaration of this in October 1971 it wasn't until 2000, that's 29 years before Milton Henschel resigned and gave up the Presidency. He died in 2003 IIRC.
The President and directors are merely legal requirements, the GB will hang on to their power at all costs.

George, I also thought for sure that Mr. Gillies would be up to the task.
I thought so too, however I did read on here that despite being a partaker in previous years, he did not partake this year. In view if AMIII's departure he probably thought life as a helper possibly a little more secure. Depends on the salary difference!

can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
Fully agree with you Blondie. However, the site has been great for me over the past 15 years and I hope it continues to help others.

i have obtained the live link for the annual meeting tomorrow:.
annual meeting live link.
the meeting will begin at 9:45am eastern time, for those of us in the uk, that will be 2:45pm.
I can just see Ayatollah Khamenei handing over power from Iran to the UN so they can destroy religion including Islam. Or maybe not.

And what about poor old thingamy from Edinburgh – overlooked again. (I forget his name)
Paul Gillies.

the org has been tight-lipped, really, successfully secret about advance info on these in recent years,.
now that these relatively recent changes on dress and grooming, reporting fs time, judicial matters, etc.
Hell, most of their current content feels like it was written by software.
....or a child. With no disrespect to children intended.

i’m an elder who is pima, i’m amazed how much info is available to all elders.
you can see all private details of every member of the congregation.
i wonder how these sisters feel about their private details being available to these creepy elders?.
Some years ago we were asked to sign a form that allowed the congregation to share our personal information with the WT Society. They in turn could share it with other branches some of which were in lands that did not have the same standards of privacy and data protection as in the UK. We refused to sign the form and never heard any more about it.
