i just saw the new wt is up and available.
the cover picture looks to me like the one that should have been used on the august 2024 wt but was pulled at the last minute and released with a different picture many weeks later.
someone on here uploaded a low res version of the picture last year.. of course we all know why the picture was pulled in the first place........ george.
It’s so odd that they can’t approach anyone when they are standing next to the cart but they can at other times.
They are being taught to informally witness by having them believe angels are messaging them to do so. The urge to approach someone won’t come from themselves but by spirits.
third study article....as people moved out of jerusalem before the romans attacked on 70 ce...perhaps there are gonna be instructions for us today about us ...leaving possessions and houses...and moving to a different place.!!.
.
maybe that fits on 'receiving instructions that are not sound by a human pointof view' ??
It’s another article about obeying those taking the lead because they are the ones that will ‘possibly’ be telling JWs what to do during the GT.
10 It appears that Jehovah guided the Christians by means of those who were taking the lead in the congregation. Historian Eusebius later wrote: “The people of the congregation in Jerusalem, by divine providence, received a revelation given to approved men; they were commanded . . . to migrate from the city before the war and to settle in a certain city of Perea called Pella.” Pella seems to have been an ideal choice. It was not far from Jerusalem, making it relatively easy to reach. It was primarily a Gentile city and for the most part unaffected by the fanatical Jewish freedom fighters and their battles with the Romans.—See map.
11 The Christians who fled to the mountains applied Paul’s counsel to “be obedient to those who are taking the lead” in the congregation. (Read Hebrews 13:7, 17.) As a result, God’s people survived. History confirms that God did not abandon those “awaiting the city having real foundations”—God’s Kingdom.—Heb. 11:10.
They point out that it was them that provided spiritual food at the outbreak of Covid.
13… in the future, Jehovah will continue to help those taking the lead to determine the wise course to take. Besides trust in Jehovah and obedience to his commands,…

The latest watchtower, just up is May 2025. The cover was seen before, months ago and believed to be originally proposed for the August 2024 Watchtower.
from barbara:.
my dear husband, joe anderson, has had very real problems with his short-term memory for at least a year which really worried me.
as his mental health deteriorated, i decided to have our local longtime physician talk alone with joe during an office visit last september.
Sorry to hear the struggle you are both going through.

It would be nice if you could remove your YouTube video that you made regarding the highly respected Mark O’Donnell.
Your false claims and accusation's are not helpful. One youtuber even believed what you were saying and posted his own YouTube supporting your claims. He was advised to do his own research, which he did and found your claims to be wrong. He has since made another video to apologise to Mark O’Donnell and his audience.

It is so important to research and get the facts.
in a civil complaint filed under seal and unsealed nearly two months ago, 11 congregations accuse the activist of violating federal, pennsylvania and maryland wiretap statutes.
in the course of the ongoing statewide grand jury investigation, all jw congregations in pennsylvania were subpoenaed to produce records pertaining to child sexual abuse.
so, meetings were arranged, county by county, between lawyers and elders on how to deal with the subpoenas.
Thanks Corney, that answers a number of my questions - and more.

Surely it is up to the host to accept or deny attendees. For every attendee to then sue someone they didn’t want there seems odd. The fact that it is the Congregations that are suing doesn’t make sense. The video that he uploaded shows individuals, not congregations. If the Elders divulged sensitive information about their congregations then shouldn’t they be suing the host for allowing him there?
Has the Elder that invited him been named and sued as well?

Thank you Petra, it is excellent and much appreciated.
For their Elders meeting, they are told to bring the following-
your Bible, songbook, Shepherd book, Adjustments to Handling Serious Wrongdoing
in the Congregation (S-395), and August 2024 study edition of The Watchtower.
Is the S-395 available?
https://youtu.be/gt0cuez3emy?si=wur7afqwryddqgnt.
the new watchtower study edition is out and i have a bone to pick with the watchtower with paragraph 14 from study article 14. there we read: "we want to help clear jehovah’s name of all reproach.
consider this scenario: you have a close friend who is kind, generous, and forgiving.
