Old Light and New Light got mixed up, and they caught it in time.
😏
Seriously, though… someone once suggest they were following a flow chart…
“…if X happens, go left, if Y, go right…”
…I think it was meant as a joke, but now I’m not so sure.

100The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes
by ukpimo inas 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?).

Overlapping Generation
by pandorasbox1914 inthe september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

“…They say the organisation drags cases out until the last possible moment, then settles to avoid a courtroom examination of its practices…”
Nicely put.

Balaamsass - “These cases are becoming hard to follow as time slowly grinds along…”
Assuming you’re referring to the sheer number of them steadily rising with no end in sight, I agree.

For JW's - Is there ever a legitimate reason to criticize?
by Sea Breeze ini had a jw quote this scripture to me recently: “study to show yourself approved” - great scripture.
but when we point out that former wt leaders didn’t study and were high school drop outs (ct russell only made it to the 7th grade) franz was a college drop out with only 2 hrs.
in koine greek, we always get the same answer - the apostles weren’t educated men either.

First video from the convention is all about FEAR
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/cdzydtuoblw?si=tyr8hgdgaiyn7c4h.
this was leaked only few days ago and it's a small segment of the video from the 2024 convention that has already started.
the video shows a jw logo down while worried jws are watching it as a news item on their tv screens, others are seen hiding from the police, others driving is the countryside to escape the authorities.

I was actually asking if they’d genuinely escalated the rhetoric recently, or were we simply noticing it more since we’re out?
But maybe the movie does kind of answer the question.

If there was ever a recipe for bringing karma mercilessly crashing down on you like a ton of bricks…
…it would be penalizing abuse victims for reporting their abusers.

Yup.
If you go around jabbing folks with a stick until someone gives you a black eye, you’re not being “persecuted”…
… you’re just being an asshole.

I’m wondering…
…in addition to the fear-of-everything factor, have they also dialed up the whole “be ready to do whatever we tell you, no matter how weird it sounds” thing?
