Let's irritate the hell out of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses! Does anyone know what the 2024 Year's Text is going to be...or does anyone have the means of finding out?

Once we find out we all can make a concerted effort to plaster it all over the damn place on social media!

1. doctrinal changes how new light comes about.

the gb raise questions then talk about it, unless it’s unanimous they wait, then years later talk again if it’s unanimous it then gets announced as new light.. 2. the gb are imperfect and sometimes make mistakes.

they are not to apologise or even admit they were wrong.

Rattigan350: I'd rather see that they are real people than they are hardliners. No need to criticize for this.

Word has it that a number of the GB were nervous about giving their AGM parts/talks this past Saturday. Especially was this so for GB Kenneth Cook who was Chairman. Rumor has it that the following was some of the dialog at last Wednesday's GB weekly meeting leading up to the Annual Meeting on Saturday:

GB Kenneth Cook: "Brothers, before we bring this meeting to a close...I don't mind telling y'all how anxious I am about being Chairman at the Annual Meeting this Saturday!"

GB David Splane: "Why is that Ken?"

GB Kenneth Cook: "Because of all the 'elephants' in the room so to speak."

GB Stephen Lett: "What do you mean?"

GB Kenneth Cook: "Y'all have to admit...this has not been a very good year for us...and we still have 3 months to go...and who knows what 2024 will bring. We started out with loosing our Norwegian Charity Status & there's other countries considering doing the same thing. Then we get nailed by the Pennsylvania AG with a Statewide CSA investigation. Then the thing with Tony Morris happened. Then there's the huge number that are leaving the faith. Then there's all the CSA settlements we've secretly paid out this year alone. And of course...we hear how depression is getting worse and worse among all in Jehovah’s Organization. And, I must admit I'm still not sure about abolishing the publisher monthly hourly report. And the idea of saying that Pioneers are like modern-day Nazarites...all we're doing is throwing them a bone...trying to make them feel useful! I'm going to have to step out on that stage Saturday morning...face those in attendance & those on camera & pretend like everything is okay in Paradise."

GB Samuel Herd: "Ah, suck-it-up Ken!"

GB Gerrit Losch: "Yah...don't blow it for the rest of us!"

GB Jeffrey Jackson: "Do what the rest of us do...fake it with a fake smile. Maybe try to joke around with the audience...make them laugh...you'll settle into it. That's how we've all dealt with the 'Elephants' in the room before...with fake smiles, jokes, laughter & so on...you'll do fine...but like Bro. Loush says...Please don't blow it for the rest of us Bro. Cook!"

GB Mark Sanderson: "I'll be glad once this AGM is behind us...It's late...I'm hungary...I'll close with prayer so we can get out of here!"

Listening to to JW AGM from beginning to end is quite disturbing when you take into account the amount of back & forth giggling & laughter there is between the Watchtower GB speakers & the audience. It's almost as though the GB speakers are there to entertain those in attendance rather than to instruct and educate about God's Word. Considering how much Child rape, the high volume of CSA court cases, Child Exploitation, broken-up families, depression & suicides that this organization is known for having & causing among it's rank and file members, one would figure this Organization & it's Leadership would act a little more responsible, serious & adult-like instead of working soo hard from the podium soliciting amusement and glee.

Point 1...What I noticed is these nitwit Governing Body members are still stuck on Proverbs 4:18 (New Light?) as their go-to scripture for their trickery, deception and excuse for getting things wrong!

Some on this forum may not be aware of what GB Herd said just prior to making the announcement about abolishing monthly field service hour reporting.

The Governing Body are dumber than a box of rocks. The following is word for word GB Herd's opening introduction as to why we shouldn't have to report our time to the Governing Body:

"Can you imagine Jehovah judging an Israelite unfaithful because his tenth was less than another person's tenth? Of course not! Everyone's abilities & circumstances are different....Jehovah did not require others to monitor or to keep track of each person's tithe...tithing was entirely between the individual Israelite & Jehovah.

The Governing Body believes the same principle can be applied when it comes to reporting our time in the ministry. Our ministry involves much more than counting time. For this reason we are pleased to announce...(GB Herd proceeds with the announcement)"

It took well over a hundred years for WT to figure out that reporting time was not only not acceptable to God but also an enormous waste of time & encroachment on the rank & file privacy!

Truly, Jehovah’s Witnesses have a bunch of meathead dimwits running this religion!🤣

Most are wondering: What prompted the WT GB to suddenly decide to eliminate the publisher requirement of reporting their monthly hourly field service activity?

Here's a possible scenario and time of events that could have transpired over the last month or so leading up to GB Herd's announcement at the Annual Meeting abolishing Publisher monthly hourly field service reporting:

Not sure when exactly, but within the past couple of months the Catholic Church's CSA law firm lead attorney representing WT in the Pennsylvania statewide CSA investigation may have contacted WT's lead attorney Philip Brumley. The following conversation "maybe" takes place:

C C CSA Attorney: "Hello Mr. Brumley. As I handle your & WT's CSA case a matter of great concern regarding children in your religion has come to my attention."

Philip Brumley: "And what concern is that?"

C C CSA Attorney: "While interviewing numerous elders from various congregations regarding allegations of mishandling of Child Sex Abuse throughout the State of Pennsylvania...it has come to my attention that your Church requires children as young as 6, 7, 8 years of age & possibly younger to submit monthly hourly reports to show how much time they've devoted proselytizing in public for the Watchtower Organization. Is this true?"

Philip Brumley: "Yes it's true. A large percentage of our members are made-up of children possibly as young as 6 years old. They're referred to as 'Publishers' who engage in the ministry like the rest of us older ones & at the end of the month they turn in a monthly report showing how much time they've spent in the ministry along with placements of literature they've handed out to strangers or interested ones."

CC CSA Attorney: "Philip...I'll be honest with you. It's difficult enough defending your Organization against allegations of Child Sex Abuse! Now this...what you're describing to me sounds very much like the exploitation of children. The Courts & Jurors alike come down very hard on Organizations who capitalize-on & take advantage of children in this manner. Something needs to be done immediately to deflect & keep the Pennsylvania AG from drawing too much attention to the amount of time you engage your children in the Public Ministry."

Philip Brumley: "I see your point! I'll relay your concerns to our Organization's Leadership & get back to you." (Click)

Weeks go by before WT attorney Philip Brumley gets back to the Catholic Church's CSA attorney. Here's what "maybe" was said:

Philip Brumley: "Hello Counsel. I've met with the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses on numerous occasions since we last spoke about your concerns regarding the involvement of our very young children as 'Publishers' in the Public Ministry & requiring them to report their monthly time spent. We've decided to make an immediate announcement at our up & coming Annual General Meeting to the effect that effective November 2023 no Publisher henceforth will be required to turn in a monthly hourly field service report. Hope that helps Counsel."

C C CSA Attorney: "It's a start but hardly enough I'm afraid! I'm must tell you that my scope of work & fees in defending WT have practically doubled if not trippled if we consider the Exploitation of Children as another charge/allegation! I'll be in touch!" (Click)
