...I heard directly this past weekend from someone in Bethel that as speculated elsewhere on this site it was a health reason, it was his choice to step down...
Tony Morris became a liability to the WTBTS as a GB member. He got shit-canned!
as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.
perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.
how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

Wow...higher appellate court rules that lead WTBTS lawyer Philip Brumley is 'a snake in the grass' of an attorney & that the $154,000.00 fine for fraud (submitting misleading & faulse affidavits) in 2 Montana CSA cases is upheld!
What are the chances that Philip Brumley turns states evidence against WTBTS...flips on the Governing Body to save his own ass & reputation? Yay!
there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.
even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.
.
In the U.S.A. a C.O. by the name of Lou Razor. Believe me...this guy lived-up to his name...he had a razor's edge about him! Many a JW were happy to hear that he had retired but pitied the congregation he was eventually assigned to...1,500 miles away!
it comes up from time to time: that the wt's "constant pleas for money" signifies their precarious financial state due to the pressure of the csa settlements.
is there any way of demonstrating that to be a fact?
i ask because i've always been under the impression that "constant pleas for money" is the default state of the organisation, possibly going back to rutherford's time.
People misquote this scripture for their own agenda. "For the love of money (greed) is a root (not the only one) of all sorts of injurious things..." (1 Tim 6:10)
Hey 'a watcher' what do you think of my version of how 1Tim 6:10 should read:
"For the WTBTS is the root of all sorts of injurious things..." (1 Tim 6:10)

I've always viewed Mormons as the older sister to the Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Mormons being the older, more attractive & more successful sister...the Jehovah’s Witnesses being the younger, less attractive (ugly duckling) & less successful of the two.
from the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.
decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.
and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.
...Again to those thick-headed JWs:
"Do not go beyond the things that are written..." (1 Corinthians 4:6).
Capiche!

The years 1914, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1935, 1975 & 2000...WT/JW devotee Rattigan350 won't find any of these dates/years in the Bible.
But, what Rattigan350 will find in the Bible is:
"Do not go beyond the things that are written..." (1 Corinthians 4:6)
By way of summary: Everything a believer says should be based on Biblical truth.
