Yes they are working on this right now. They are implementing a new pioneer arrangement and the new category of "Basic Pioneer" (10 hrs a month) is being developed. If this is successful, they will have "Basic Publishers" that don't go out at all. The objective is not to have any inactive. By eliminating the word, inactive, out of the JW vocabulary, and replacing it with another word would work. Then everyone wins, and the Mormons will want to become one of us.

Why doesn't the GB make field service optional for certain congregation members only similar to the Mormons?
by yadda yadda 2 inephesians 4:11 makes for a strong case that not every member of the congregation should have to go door-to-door.. "so christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,..".
this shows that different members of the first century congregations served different ministerial functions.
so why don't the jw's say that field service is no longer compulsory for all congregation members, only for those who feel a calling for it per eph 4:11..... the mormons sort of do this with their young men and women 'elders' doing 2 years voluntary, genuinely full-time service (these mormons boys put in some big hours 6 days a week and have their meals provided for them, etc!

What do you expec from old guys that dance on the Bethel table when they discover there is Blueberries in their oatmeal. The GB perception of Big Stuff is not some ordinary person expects. They are in a different world all of their own.

Implications of Dropping "Types/Anti-Types"
by Antioch ini've seen this part of the agm folded in with other topics and poked around, but no really critical discussion of the implications.. .
the hermenuetics of the type/anti-type practice was a big deal to me in realizing the tatt.
i searched high and low for a rational basis for concluding that god was communicating in a type/anti-type format that wasn't special pleading and circular.

I think that this is the biggest update to come from this AGM. It may move slowly, but it will gradually remove all of the numerous guesses that have come from the last 100 yrs.

Well, they are really holding out for that new Rocket they are building. They thought it would have been ready in 2 months, with materials that have been donated. But, they have asked a Rocket scientist how long it normally takes to build one of those, and he said two years. They're realizing that maybe that project will actually be two years. Stay tuned for a animated episode of Caleb's Rocket. Just to wet the appetite.

As far as the type/antitypes are concerned, it may be the last we heard of the Jonadab Class, Shulamite Maiden Class, Abraham the greator Jehovah, etc...
So much instruction has been stroked out from the past. We are now reinventing our faith.

To be honest, I hate smiling when posing for a picture. It's all fake. I've ruined so many pictures because I can't do it. Kudos to them
