the borg seem to prepare for changes by missing explanations out for a while then presenting a "new understanding" which doesn't contradict the most recent discussion.check out the most recent references to gog - no identification as satan.. in today's wt study, paragraph 15 concerning benefitting from the prodigal son stated "if we meet a person who has strayed from the congregation, will we offer loving and practical help to assist him to return?
" there is no footnote or other qualifier saying not to go to disfellowshipped ones (who are definitely the ones being talked about) which is still the official policy.
i know this isn't an ending to shunning, but it may signal the start of the preparation for a change.

No time on the timeline? That is hysterical!
i live in relatively small seaside community (regional population around 45,000).
in my ten years here, i've had witnesses call on me perhaps twice (not special visits but during door-to-door).
whereas they once canvassed door-to-door much more frequently - and in larger size service groups - there is quite a decline in their door-knocking - at least in this region.. with the advent of the "trolley" work, their visibility has increased - but i'd estimate only marginally.
I see this behavior quite a bit as well. They sit outside a local KH located on a busy street and talk to each other. I visit the shopping center right across the street from them and sometimes I sit there for a few minutes watching them. Plenty of people walk by and often they are too engaged in their own conversations to even say hello. I doubt this behavior is encouraged or expected from the GB. But many dubs are probably relieved to not be bothering people at their homes. And more concerned with their own little jdub lives that it is easy to sit there and chat about all the exciting new changes coming their way.
I will say judging from the outside this is one KH that could probably use a renovation or new location. It really is a very busy street and a little kid could easily run off into the street. This happened years ago when i was a small child. Our KH was on a very busy street and a little boy ran out from the KH and was killed on the night of the memorial. I believe the guy was a study. Very sad. I will never forget it.
this is the fourth kingdumb song released since the annual meeting.

Oh Happy Happy Joy!
this is the article that kicked off many of the changes that are being made (new kingdumb halls) and the new wbats we see today.
i guess it was their way of saying: "i told you so".... i have to say their brand management, pr staff and rebranding is amazing!
they rival apple when it comes to their level of marketing!!!
Ha Ha OrphanCrow!

Yep! A lot of Dubs are going to be super busy volunteering to notice anything is wrong here. The rest will be thrilled watching all the new building work over the internet. Impressed by all the smoke in mirrors digging into their purse strings saying: "Jehovah, Jehovah, do more do more!" Ha! Terribly sad and quite hysterical too.
Where was the love in Lett's talk? This is a man Jesus chose to care for his people? He couldn't say anything to the dubs barely making ends meet to make them feel okay about not being able to give $$$. Or to those who can't offer physical help? He did mention some can help in different ways but there was no real love there that I heard. It was all just cold matter a fact requests to give Jehovah however you can with his timed smiles here and there.
And of course using scriptures to remind them that it is Jehovah who is asking for all this crap not the GB. Oh Brother! When I'm not laughing about this I am pissed and disgusted!

I find it all quite interesting and impressive too. This new change will delight so many. Especially the materialistic dubs they will be thrilled to have a new and modern KH. Many of them are over the moon for the new assembly halls.
These poor dubs are really blind. Really Jehovah needs all new commercial kingdumb halls now. And they all must look exactly the same? Jehovah who can make the rocks speak if need be needs new khs to bring in more people. His chariot has been speeding up for so god damn long now. Perhaps it sped up so much so that it got lost into oblivion. Are they sure they still have sight of it? I think it left them in the dust ages ago.
with all the buzz about the jw public witnessing cart it has escaped the notice of all but the most studious researchers that the wt carts were actually started by pastor charles taze russell.
a careful examination of one of the most famous photographs of the 1906 san fransisco fire, caused by the preceding earthquake, reveals a wt cart.
further investigation brought the researchers attention to bible student sister myrtle jenson, shown on the left of the photograph, and facing away from the camera, looking down sacramento street.
