In July 2009, Jehovah's Witnesses purchased a plot of land in upstate New York with plans to relocate their world headquarters. The 102-hectare (253 a.) property is located about 80 kilometers (50 mi) northwest of the existing facilities in Brooklyn, New York, where they have been since 1909.

So not only are they ploughing ahead without clear direction from Jah, they have been doing so for three years. Ha, ha, LOL.

However, not everyone feels the way you do. In
fact, those who truly make the Bible their guide are
a minority-only about 0.1 percent of the earth's
population.

This is a qoute from the latest examining the scriptures. It is the figure supplied by the spirit annointed and appointed body that Jesus insists (according to them) 7,000,000,000 must "get to know" so as to have a chance to survive the coming tribulation.

Clearly they are a dillusional group of men (the governing body and their co-horts) at best, or a group of power hungry men satiating their lust at all cost to those trapped in the web.

So my question is, who cares how much their numbers jump "somewhere" by "some percent". They still represent an insignificant number who the majority of earth's population either don't know about or care about.

Far more significant the harm that they cause to the families that are "stuck in" than the good that they provide in any way to the general populace of the world.

Just my thoughts!!!

The following is much more current and is equally full of hubris and bullshiterousness:

*** w09 6/15 pp. 23-24 The Faithful Steward and Its Governing Body ***
The Correct Viewpoint
14 How should these anointed ones view themselves as they await their heavenly reward? They realize that although they have received a wonderful invitation, it is only that-an invitation. They must remain faithful until death in order to obtain this prize. In humility, they echo the words of Paul: "Brothers, I do not yet consider myself as having laid hold on it; but there is one thing about it: Forgetting the things behind and stretching forward to the things ahead, I am pursuing down toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God by means of Christ Jesus." (Phil. 3:13, 14) The anointed remnant must do their utmost to ‘walk worthily of the calling with which they were called, with complete lowliness of mind,' doing so "with fear and trembling."-Eph. 4:1, 2; Phil. 2:12; 1 Thess. 2:12.
15 On the other hand, how should other Christians view a person who claims to have received this anointing and begins to partake of the emblems at the Memorial? He or she should not be judged. The matter is between this person and Jehovah. (Rom. 14:12) However, Christians who have truly received this anointing do not demand special attention. They do not believe that their being of the anointed gives them special insights beyond what even some experienced members of the "great crowd" may have. (Rev. 7:9) They do not believe that they necessarily have more holy spirit than their companions of the "other sheep" have. (John 10:16) They do not expect special treatment; nor do they claim that their partaking of the emblems places them above the appointed elders in the congregation.
16 Are all these anointed ones throughout the earth part of a global network that is somehow involved in revealing new spiritual truths? No. Although as a composite body the slave class is responsible for feeding the spiritual household, not all individuals of the slave class have the same responsibilities or work assignments. (Read 1 Corinthians 12:14-18.) As noted earlier, in the first century, all were involved in the vital preaching work. But only a very limited number were used to write the books of the Bible and oversee the Christian congregation.
17 To illustrate: The Scriptures at times speak of "the congregation" as taking certain action in handling judicial matters. (Matt. 18:17) In real terms, though, it is only the elders who take this action in their capacity as representatives of the congregation. The elders do not contact all members of the congregation to ask their various opinions before they make a decision. Theocratically, they perform the role that they have been assigned; they act on behalf of the whole congregation.
18 Similarly, today a limited number of anointed men have the responsibility of representing the slave class. They make up the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. These spirit-anointed men oversee the Kingdom work and the spiritual feeding program. As in the first century, though, the Governing Body does not consult with each individual member of the slave class before making decisions. (Read Acts 16:4, 5.) However, all anointed Witnesses are deeply involved in the vital harvest work that is now taking place. As a class, "the faithful and discreet slave" is one body, but as individuals, they have various work assignments.-1 Cor. 12:19-26.
19 What effect should the above facts have on the ever-increasing great crowd who hope to live forever on earth? As part of the King's belongings, they are happy to cooperate fully with the arrangements made by the Governing Body, which represents "the faithful and discreet slave." Members of the great crowd appreciate the spiritual food produced under the Governing Body's direction. But at the same time, while respecting the slave as a class, members of the great crowd are careful not to elevate any individuals who claim to be part of that slave. No Christian who genuinely receives the anointing with God's spirit would want or expect such treatment.-Acts 10:25, 26; 14:14, 15.
20 Whether we are "domestics," who are part of the anointed remnant, or we are members of the great crowd, let it be our determination to cooperate fully with the faithful steward and its Governing Body. May each of us "keep on the watch" and prove ourselves faithful until the end.-Matt. 24:13, 42.
