just in case you are planning to celebrate st george's day today, furl up the flag until next monday despite what your diary might say.. no saints day can be celebrated during the week before or after easter so this year it has been postponed until 28 april, next monday.
there have been instances such as 2019 when "politicians" such as keir starmer, theresa may and sadiq khan have waved their flag on the 23rd in error.

most people on the planet have heard of the pope.. most people on the planet have never heard of the governing body..

yeah so got invited this year and just thought what a waste of my time no one partakes in the wine or bread the talk has been the same for 20 years i would rather stay home.
I would disagree with your assessment that the talk has been the same for 20 years. I cannot say when it changed but not so many years ago. We no longer hear anything about the Exodus, Passover or the New Moon. Even the Memorial song has changed.
It's all about the First Century and Jesus New Covenant now. Why is this? Probably realised they do not celebrate it on the correct day.
Any ideas?

so god let 10 million people die in world war 2 but was too busy to help....what kind of diety does this!
if i was god i would have done something .
Here's a little song for you:-
Men make Gods of wood and stone
But the true God they've not known,
Ours is God Almighty as he's often shown.
Big chorus
We're Jehovah's Witnesses
We speak out in fearlessness...
No doubt that will be buzzing through a few heads now. I still find it difficult to believe that I was fooled into this twaddle from a baby onwards. So many years wasted for so many.

is the sunday special talk prior to the memorial just an introduction of a new outline for the sunday public talks?.
is it an attempt to get the faders back to the meetings?
they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..
From one of the 2 videos in this talk, what is a ceramics engineer?
Posh name for potter?
I knew a JW window cleaner, he used to describe himself as a Fenestration Technician.

in 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?.
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.

i’m hoping the memorial talk will be different.
change the talk!
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.

strange that after 2 years we still don't know the facts about anthony's resignation.

the announcement.
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.

Well as we all know they did change their policy and ToMo III was no more.
Money tops everything!
