This is how they viewed the Cosmos, flat earth, with a tent like dome above, I think this view persisted in Israelite and Jewish thought for a long time, even into the first Century and Paul's time :

Jeffrey Jackson: Too much excitement got in the way for the ''false dates''
by RULES & REGULATIONS inannual meeting 2019—talks and 2020 year textthe governing body members are nothing but a bunch of weasels.
here is a talk by jeffrey jackson on how the governing body ''the slave class'' has remained spiritually awake over 100 years and alerted its members.. he looks back on the ''faithful and discreet slaves'' false dates over the 100 years: '' but at times, we look back over 100 years, and there were times they got excited about a certain year or time, and the end didn't come at that time.''.
he makes the comparison between the ''slave class ( who disappointed others when the end didn't come ) to a barking watchdog ( who in his enthusiasm barks at nothing in the middle of the night and wakes up the owner).

" There are no false dates. False expectations, but not false dates."
1975 was a false date.

The Org. are masters of obfuscation concerning their many A/C's. You can see if you do get to examine them, a lot is covered by matters they do not explain.

" It is of course also available online in full on their website." Thanks SBF, you don't have to go to the website then the NWT, just type in the Book Chapter & Verses and you will be taken to the relevant place in the NWT, its still on the JW site, but quicker.

Who the JW's governing body USED to be! 😂😂😂😂
by BoogerMan inw50 1/1 pp.
10-11 par.
2 - the watch tower bible & tract society, the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses,... .

And even for years after the official change, ones who had been in for a while continued to only refer to the "The Society", which always sounded like some shady in the shadows group like the Masons to me, in my youth, I would say "Illuminati" now perhaps, but hadn't heard of them then.

I remember decades ago a C.O who was staying with us, and was a straight talker, said that when he and his wife were put out to pasture it would be with NOTHING !
Today there may be some small provision ???
So of course they want to keep this quiet. How much is Tony the Turd's allowance ?

At what point, does one become apostate to the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Vanderhoven7 inat what point does a jehovah’s witness cease to be a jehovah’s witness?
what if a witness doesn't believe some of the official teachings of the governing body but remains silent on these subjects to avoid being disfellowshipped?
is he or she an apostate to the faith?
-

The point at which one becomes an Apostate is when the Elders decide it is so. From the org's point of view.
When two Elders were trying to trap me they repeated the "Loyalty Question " three times in our conversation, put in three different ways, but basically it was did I believe the G.B were god's chosen channel or whatever, I dodged that bullet three times.
But if I had told them my thoughts I would have been DF'd for Apostasy I am sure. And yet they knew nothing of the Doctrines I rejected, and wouldn't have asked.
Beware of Elders bearing gifts, well, pretending to "Shepherd" you !

Did anyone really enjoy assemblies?
by SydBarrett inthe twickenham post made me think of this.
i have a few jw family members on facebook and being summertime, their pics of the convention have shown up in my fb feed.
along with their comments about "i wished it would never end" or "what a glorious weekend".

I always ended up feeling gloomy and depressed, and a numb bum coupled with gasping for a Beer didn't help.
The only one that wasn't so much of a problem was Norwich, they parked us away from the Stadium and you had to walk along the canal to the Car Park............ past a lovely Pub. The guys who had really got it sorted had a barge on the canal to stay in, next to the pub !
