Think it's like saying watchtower gonna drop their website and start just printing papper magazine and books. It's not gonna happen. We are in the digital era now. There's no turning back.

Are there any new ideas coming from the Watchtower Society?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy brother ( who is an elder ) tries very hard to get me back to the meetings.
he calls me every time he and his son ( he's also an elder) give a public talk.
they send me the zoom i.d.

Yes there was a big game changer that people don't talk about. In the USA there was minus growth for watchtower. That's a big deal if you think about that watchtower started in the USA and headquarters is located in New York. It's a symbolic thing. A very bad thing for watchtower.

This week's Watchtower Study - don't complain if ...
by eyeslice indon't complain if you get kicked out of bethel after 23 years (it's really a blessing to be assigned back to the field) and don't complain if they sell your kingdom hall even if you have just invested your time and energy renovating it.. so encouraging?.

Got same advice as young from older brother. "Go to bethel and you can stay there till new system". I'm extremely happy I never followed that advice.

Yearly report shows less and less congregations worldwide. This article came out in right time when probably your 👉 kingdom hall is being sold 💰. What a proof that the GB is guided and know just when right articles should be written 😂 You should be very joyful organisation is taking care of you. Be happy and don't complain, or you be kicked out 🩴 it's sooo looooving💚 -

Elders are no longer teachers
by eyeslice inback in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.
you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.
then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

I remember back in the 80s, elders going up to podium telling everyone that they hade fulfilled God's requirements, that's why they we're elders. And now it was time for rest congregation too also fulfil requirements 😁 Think it was base on teaching GB told them that holy spirit hade appointed them. Of course that change. Now it's co that appoints people and neither GB or org are guided by Holy spirit 😂😂

Yeah they stopped teaching public speakers and started focus more on singing at the meeting. Telling everyone that lyrics gets into your heart when you prepare the songs before meetings. But seems now they gonna focus more on movies.

Staying in physically for all the benefits
by Indoubtbigtime ini wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.
also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .
there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.

" all benefits" you make it sound like you getting paid to dress and drive too attend extremely boring meetings and assembly. It's good to meet people. But if you are a man there's several requirements you have too fullfil. You have to reach forward so you can get appointments ( free labour). There are few few benefits being a JW.

Governing Body: The growth we have is a sign of Jehovah’s blessing.
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthis looks like your typical watchtower study meeting.
lots of empty seats.. twenty-five years ago my old congregation had around 180 congregation members.
the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

Speaker in congregation said people were throwing themselves to get into organisation 😂 I looked around and hall was more then half empty. Wonder what substance they use will writing speeches and articles. It's becoming real redundant.

Even if Tony and company are half dead when giving speeches. Their expressions, ideas and manners made things entertaining. This Two don't look like they have anything unusual to them. Boy future broadcasting gonna be real sleeping pills 😞 we gonna be looking at last ten years as the wonder years.
