It's November 2020 and they are going on about a memorial observation service held 20 months ago. What no mention of the 2020 memorial? And they call this a modern day miracle.

It is apparent that a lot of JWs are in it mostly for the social aspects. It must be very difficult for them to follow the GBs instructions of not leaving their homes unless it is necessary.
Who knows what they are doing at HQ and the Branches when they've always been so busy. It must be tough, doing nothing and living off donated money.

ARC and the Watchtower's no voting rule
by Listener inin australia it is compulsory to vote but none of the jws do vote or even turn up at the polling booth and lodge an invalid vote since they don't want to stumble anyone (the people they meet door knocking).
the government fines people for not voting unless they have a valid excuse.
the jws state that they are conscientious objects due to their religious beliefs.

I'm surprised Trump didn't introduce something like that. He's been giving away food boxes.

I've just looked into it and it appears that under the constitution it is legal to not vote on the basis of religious conscientious objection.
Unfortunately, the constitution can only be changed by a majority vote.

I wonder if it has been brought to the prime ministers attention and if this is a freedom that he is able to remove due to their refusal to join the redress scheme?

The 1950s NWT (1984)
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini did a video on this subject once but feel this is a noteworthy topic.
to be honest the old nwt has come under sonsiderable attack from fundie morons attacking it's nt which was translated with a few revisals in 1950.the truth is john 1:1 and 8:58 and other texts, though despite being odd, are within the translation rules as are the inclusion of the word {other} since this was stated in the forward as an interpolation.
jehovah in the nt is odd but certianly lacking as other translations have added more yhwh.. so the ot?

On the subject of their translations, I find it telling that their method is to translate firstly into English and then from the English translation, translate it into 100s of other languages. I would have thought that would mean those translations, other than the English translation, would be even more inferior.

Always Obey
by neat blue dog inthe life story in the latest wt has a running theme that keeps popping up: if the organization tells you to do something, you do it.
this culminates in the following anecdote:.
we were staying in abrother’s home right next to a kingdom hall.. .

She talks about a female preparing the bath for her and her husband. Even by JW standards, there is no chain of commandment for obedience in this incident. The organisation is getting weirder all the time with the stuff they are publishing.

Funky - It must have been, there a new video on JW Borgcast with Herd introducing the 2021 year text.
It's an interesting text that they have chosen. They only use part of Isaiah 30:15 namely -
"Your strength will be in keeping calm and showing trust"
This text was directed at the Israelites as a nation and in full states (KJV) -
"For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not."
The International Standard Version says, in part, "In repentance and rest you will be saved"
They are hardly being quiet by requesting all JWs write multiple letters to the Russian Government or by their Worldwide letter writing program to all Government Officials next month, advising them of the destruction of their Governments.
Neither have they been following this scripture in the ARC or the current UK hearings.
But the strangest thing about using this text is the opening instruction of returning to God, I wonder how they think this is applicable to them (as God's appointed people) or will they totally ignore that part of the verse?
