Haven't been to a meeting in 13 years. Family that lives 1300 miles away doesn't know. Just visited them and here is what I observed. They talk about their cart service but not anyone they talked to, just what a beautiful spot they set up their cart and chairs along the shore. They talk about their meetings, but not about doctrine or some scripture clarification, but rather how well someone spoke, how well he/she was dressed, did you notice who was sitting with sister so and so? The convention, the drama, how professionally it was done. I have no idea what this years drama is about because they didn't mention it. No type of spiritual discussion. All social type gossip. No talk about how 'we' will be the generation that witnesses Armageddon and survive into the New World without ever dying. We used to talk that way all the time 50 years ago. My family I am talking about have up to 65 years in the Org. One has been a pioneer, special pioneer, Bethalite for his whole adult life. Just an observation thought I would share.

Prediction of Watchtower in a Few Years
by Foolednomore inkingdom halls will be the thing of the past.. conventions (mini assembly halls will still be going on) but will charge for attending and parking and always a donation.
elders will play a much smaller role since csa.
cart preaching will replace door to door.

Wearing underware, jeans, sitting in a cushy soft chair go ahead and pass some gas. In four seconds everyone in the room is going to know someone farted. No, masks don't work.

New blood card system in March
by Indoubtbigtime inthere is going to be a hole new system of blood cards this march .
the congregation won’t hold any information as they did before from march it will be all put on the pub.
i think it’s to do with vaccines and they are worried now they got everyone vaxed and they want to distance themselves from medical responsibilities and say own personal decisions.

Why? Does the current blood card indicate the vax status of the card holder? I'm out a long time, I don't know.

TonUS...Some just love the direction from Org. They don't have to engage their own minds, just do what they are told...easy, no decisions to make on their own. I'm a pureblood.

They are flush with money. Can't spend it fast enough. The bigger more expensive project it is the more likely to be approved. So it goes.....

Meeting announcement for emergency contact info of non-JW friends & relatives (?)
by LongHairGal ini just saw this post on reddit and can hardly believe it.. if i remember correctly years back they told you not to have anything to do with non-jw friends or relatives.
they discouraged you from bothering with non-jw family and to avoid them on holidays!!
i needlessly missed out on some delicious holiday meals with people who genuinely cared about me.

Biahi, yes, I knew a brother with a large property with numerous houses on it. He left it all to the society except for one house his daughter lived in. The society contested the will and they won, daughter couldn't afford to fight the society's legal team. They took the girl's house.
