First thing Trump has to do after he loses tomorrow is get that Jaundice treated! He always has that orange tint about him, but I don't think he's ever looked soo orange like he looks today!
Yah, I know...I know, he's got a bad make-up artist!
my only prowess in making predictions stems from my 77-years of life in the united statesgrowing up under president truman, eisenhower, kennedy, nixon, .....etc.
etc.i was a widdle kid sitting in front of a tiny black and white tv set when the very first broadcastsof political conventions, deal-making, debates (nixon vs kennedy), assassinations (jfk, rfk, martin luther king, etc.
) i grew up with duck and cover under my elementary schooldesk, the cold war, the iron curtain, the korean war, the vietnam war and i went to federal prisonas a jw conscientious objector while hippies, flower children, political activists protested and universitystudents were fired up on by troops.i grew up reading newspapers (2 of them).

i have obtained the live link for the annual meeting tomorrow:.
annual meeting live link.
the meeting will begin at 9:45am eastern time, for those of us in the uk, that will be 2:45pm.
The only ole GB fart we didn't hear from was GB Herd. Wonder if it's health related...or maybe they had him doing the sound...or maybe he cut himself shaving his beard. Inquiring minds want to know.
Something else I found odd...they didn't mention anything about JWs affected by Hurricane Helene or damged/destruction of Kingdom Halls...Odd!
BTW...thank you ukpimo for the link...much appreciated!

I agree...the 2024 JW AGM turned out for the most part to be a Nothing Burger!
Mark Sanderson stressed: "We need...We need...We need more free labor!" I must say he came across as somewhat desperate!
Jeffrey Jackson said something along the lines of "Don't Be Surprised By Sudden Changes"! Maybe implying that there is much more to come by way of 'Changes' in the not too distant future.
In the past WT described & insulted the recent increase in partakers as mentally deceased...today Jeffrey Jackson acknowledged them and went so far as welcoming them to the racks of newly anointed ones. I thought that was rather weird!
GB Woody Harrelson as Chairman of the AGM was well...Woody Harrelson! 😀😃
... is just three weeks from this saturday.
the org has been tight-lipped, really, successfully secret about advance info on these in recent years,.
now that these relatively recent changes on dress and grooming, reporting fs time, judicial matters, etc.
Watch this space on Saturday. I will do my best.
Thank you ukpimo...looking forward to your summary of the AGM!
according to the next boe letter to be read at next week's midweek meetings in the united states,.
the theme of the convention for next year is.
pure worship.
Pure BullShit!
good pick?
bad pick?
helpful to president biden?
You know what's really weird is how the word 'weird' is being thrown around during this election.
And what's really soo weird is that as much money as the Trump Team invests in this election and as hard as Trump Team works to re-elect former President Trump...Kamala Harris is hardly breaking a sweat...no interviews, no press conferences, not saying much about her policies and yet is pulling away in the race for the White House...showing her ahead in the polls in many critical swing states...now that is weird!
Some are saying that women voters are really behind Harris' election while men are sticking with Trump. So women are planning on holding off 'whoopee' from their hubbies until they get on board with Harris. No-brainer...within weeks Harris will be ahead by double digits...now that's weird politics!
"when will this hope be fulfilled?
the bible foretold events that would signal that god’s kingdom is about to begin its rule over the earth.
present world conditions match what the bible foretold.
Talking about an Ole boy crying wolf...again!
As recent as March 2020 GB Stephen Lett is on video saying:
"The events unfolding around us are making clearer than ever that we're living in the final part of the last days...undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days...shortly before the last day of the last days."
proverbs 4:18 says, "but the path of the righteous....grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.".
the bible "light" doesn't get brighter - it never changes - it's a person's direction & course of life which gets brighter.. w11 9/15 p. 14 par.
15 - "when spiritual light on some matter gets brighter, do you try to understand the underlying scriptural reasons for the adjustment?
It's quite likely that WT elite have already started distancing themselves from Proverbs 4:18.
Proverbs 4:18 has been WT's get out of jail pass for decades and decades for the tons of times they've gotten Biblical understanding wrong. The last mention that I can remember of WT's mention of Proverbs 4:18 was GB Jeffrey Winder's 1st talk of the 2023 Annual Meeting (entitled: "How The GB Arrive At New Light"). Since then with the high volume of changes that have taken place, I don't think WT has publicly made reference to Proverbs 4:18 as their usual go-to scripture. The August 2024 Watchtower Study magazine with it's many new doctrinal adjustments & changes makes no reference throughout the entire magazine to Proverbs 4:18.
They no doubt have gotten an earful over the years from Bible experts & intellectuals of how soo badly they've miss-applied the Proverb "New Light" scripture that the GB is ready to throw-in the towel & quit in defeat regarding this much coveted scripture.
So...me wonders if one day soon WT will be announcing to the rank and file why it's no longer proper to refer to Proverbs 4:18 when the need arises to explain and give a reason for a WT Governing Body doctrinal change, adjustment and/or refinement to Scriptural beliefs.

july 23, 2024. jehovah's witnesses lose last ditch court case over abuse in care report.
jehovah's witnesses have failed in an eleventh hour attempt to block part of a lengthy report about abuse in care that is about them.. .
My guess is this has cost them the thick end of 1 million dollars.
Hot damn...that's a hell of a lot more than I thought! Thank you Karter for your input...please keep us updated!
