as 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?).
I don’t see any evidence of Kingdom Halls “emptying”. But the main reason I find the statement ironic is because churches truly are “emptying” at an astonishing rate.
It isn't a level playing field. Churches don't employ coercive control like the JW's do. If folks could leave the Kingdom Hall as freely as others leave the Church, without fear of ostracism, isolation or reputational damage, they would.

slimboyfat: People always makes [these] assertions on the forum, but I see no evidence for it. Kingdom Halls are pretty full.
How many Kingdom Halls are you visiting Slim'?

This reminded me of something..
Let the memes begin!
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
And now it's 332, that's 26 down today so far. Each month approximately 2.8% of credit and debit cards expire so from today's starting point of 558 subscriptions you'd expect a drop of 10 just from expired cards. That means that 16 subscribers took the deliberate step of cancelling their support for LE.
All rough guesses of course but momentum seems to be picking up.

Down 20 today, that's quite a drop.
hi pepeep am attempting to get a current list of uk travelling overseers.
left 4 years ago and have heard rumours of many new ones.

Peter Hemming? Was he the guy who ran a dental laboratory in Northampton?

Lloyd was a representative of the community. He didn’t say this outright and has consistently denied it since the scandal broke
I'd argue that he DID claim to represent exJWs. His original jwsurvey site carried the tagline "giving a voice to the silent majority".
As presumptuous as ever.
good morning all, i would love some genuine advice please.. i have an old friend who is still in the org, but has never been the very staunch type.
however, she is going through a very rough patch in life, (past deeds from youth caught up and now is in prison) and i reached out to her by old fashioned snail mail.. by her reply she sounds more pimi than ever and finding some sort of comfort in the literature.
would i be wrong to attempt to wake her up, would that actually be a cruel thing to do right now?
Vanderhoven7: She simply needs to hear the gospel of Christ's unfailing love and forgiveness
Jesus told his followers that "he who has seen me has seen the Father", that he and the Father were 'one'. Fine, read the child killing atrocities commited by the Father as recorded in the OT and tell me again of Christ's unfailing love.
Be there for your friend. Be kind, be supportive but leave religion out of it.

1:1 is the best way for anyone except Lloyd to know the real number and not let others know when someone drops
