Have to laugh:
'an elder who is a good reader'
You mean there are some elders who can't read a simple announcement? How stupid are these people?

Real reasons behind this change?
by Gorb injust a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.
a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?
maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

What Happened to 2034?
by NotFormer insome years ago the wt started putting it out there that noah took 120 years to build the ark, and since the wt was the new ark, it may allow them up to 2034 (1914 + 120) before armageddon.
it could have been their new 1975 to get excited about, but i don't see any mention of it at all now.
what happened during the two decades since last i observed anything about the wt?.

I seem to remember that Ray Franz wrote that the idea had been floated around by one of the GB, but it was not adopted and never appeared in print.

This answers the question if the organization was going to go more Hardline or mainstream.
by nowwhat? inlooks like we can expect a kinder, gentler jehovah and jesus during the great tribulation.
the door will not be closed to all non jws at the start of the tribulation.
but will have time to repent after false religion is destroyed.

Looking back at the last few months' GB change (exit of Morris and entry of two new ones), and knowing that their decisions are voted on within the GB and must pass by a certain percentage (thanks Ray Franz), it seems likely that there are a number of changes coming down the pike. The time reporting change is really a major change in the religion's mindset. I would expect more changes to come.

No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!
by BoogerMan inthis is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

it was acknowledged that in most areas, people to not want strangers coming to their doors. It isn’t productive from the JW standpoint and a safety issue for the householder. Different times
Agreed. At least in the US, door to door activity is virtually non-existant anymore. There was a time when there were numerous sales people who did door to door sales, vacuum cleaners, Fuller brush, Bibles, insurance, you name it. The JW door to door activity kind of fit into that world which has been declining for several decades and is now virtually extinct. Covid really put an end to it, and post-Covid there is a shift in what people are willing to tolerate in terms of strangers coming around to their doors.

This is the death knell of the door-to-door service. It's over.

Wow, this is a major change. JFRutherford, NHKnorr, and old Freddie are probably rolling over in their graves.
I am a little surprised that elders and ministerial servants are not included in the groups who would continue to report their hours. After all, the unspoken 10 hour requirement is a major qualification for those positions, and now, just about anybody would qualify, as long as they know how to wash windows.
Biggest change in JW land in years
edited to add: my prediction : <within 10 years, women will be allowed to be ministerial servants and elders>

1961 1962 higher authorities
by Marcial inare there among you, dear friends, a specialist in american associations from around the 1950s -1970s and a little more?
to find out from what years in the usa the first subsidies were granted to religious congregations and other non-profit or charitable associations?
why this question is that i just thought that there is perhaps a link between doctrinal clarifications over the years and government innovations to support or subsidize these supposedly charitable religious organizations or certain qualified ngos?

Interesting experience with my PIMI Father
by joe134cd inthis highlights just how flawed the jw thinking is.
recently, it had been arranged for another jw to take my father to the convention in a couple of weeks time.
a few days ago my father is informed that his ride has refused to drive him due to his underlying health conditions.

One problem I have observed several times is that the JWs are pressured to attend conventions, however difficult or whatever the cost. An unfortunate result is that older folks are often riding together with their like-aged friends, making a long trip they seldom or never take on their own. They are not familiar with the roads, don't drive much in heavy city traffic, talk a lot in the car so the driver is distracted, driving a car which seldom leaves the county and isn't in the best of shape (worn tires, etc). Hence they often/usually get lost, have car trouble and mechanical breakdowns, and in the worst cases, have auto accidents.
That is about the only good thing about zoom, so that nowadays these ones can stay at home.
