I think the WT dropped the Adam-Eve creation gap explanation a year or two after 1975.
They didn't announce it, of course,
They just stopped mentioning it and hoped the 1975 fiasco would fade away.

531975 on the back burner
by Fisherman in“1975” still marks 6000 years from the creation of adam in wt calendar.
according to “all scriptures inspired” book, there is a gap between the creation of adam and the creation of eve and her marriage to adam.
it was at that point in time when eve was created that marked the end of the 6th creative day and the beginning of god’s rest, the 7th day as recorded in genesis.

Jesus said to eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of him.
The Watchtower tells 99% of JWs to refuse to eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of him.

Is there really any universal issue of Sovereignty?
by Linda14 ini can agree that satan doesn't see god as a good ruler as stated at gen 3:1-5. he doesn't seem to see gods laws as right or good.
but whether there is an understanding/agreement between god and satan afterward to the effect that he can take the mantle of rulership to show whether his style is best is doubtful.
that conclusion is probably reached because god hasn't destroyed satan, and he is also called the ruler of the world in the bible.

The Watchtower uses the sovereignty issue to keep JWs in line.
Whose side are you on?
Us v. them.
Loyal followers of Jehovah v. evil apostates...

My advice would be to break free of it and just not go.
But that's a call you have to make based on your relationship with your family.
Are things going to get worse with them if you decide not to go?
They already know you've stopped being a JW, right?

In Watchtowerland, only the latest "truth" matters.
JWs quickly forget the past.
It never happened, or it's been distorted by evil apostates...
Nothing to see here... move along...

Hellothere,
The GB is still deluded from reality.
They think God has anointed them to rule over his kingdom with Jesus.

Depiction of Governing Body on JW org
by Listener ina topic was started over at reddit directing people's attention to a depiction on jw.org of the governing body.
it's not in their publication, only on the website under the topic of "what is the governing body?
but who are these guys in the depiction?.

Better for the organization to have them silhouetted this way.
When JWs can see and hear them on YouTube it becomes clear that they are just men, not anointed oracles.

Subpoenas are court orders requiring a person to come and testify, in this case before the grand jury that's investigating the WT.
A subpoena duces tecum is a special kind of subpoena which requires the person to deliver up records in his or her control. That may or may not be followed up by requiring testimony, depending on what is or isn't produced.

This could be a long process.
I think Phase 1 of the subpoenas is focusing on getting records rather than on getting testimony from elders and ex-elders.
Once the Attorney General's staff goes through those records and identifies situations where the elders did nothing or covered up abuse then will come Phase 2 where they will have questions prepared for elders and ex-elders regarding what they did or didn't do, what COs or the Branch advised them to do, etc.

A couple years ago I talked with an elder from Pennsylvania.
He assured me there were no problems in that State with regarding to reporting because there are mandatory reporting laws that the Society complies with.
I wonder what he thinks now.
I wonder what he will think as more information comes to light.
