Seems they moving away from the word "anointed". It was heavy in use, back in the 80-90s, to prove Armageddon was near cause less and less from the 144000 we're participating in the commemoration of Jesus death. If we we're suddenly back in the 90s and this two claimed they suddenly received the heavenly hope. Other witnesses would probably have seen them as apostates going against watchtower teaching

“Allow me to put my notes aside…” (1975 DO talk)
by wallsofjericho ini remember years ago hearing an audio recording online of a district overseer talk regarding 1975. he said something along the lines of “allow me to put my notes aside” and then went off about how the end was coming in 1975. does anyone remember this?
or know where i can find a recording of this talk?.

"I thought they retired SuNUTko to a trailer park in the southwest USA somewhere a long time ago" Sorry to disappoint you. But they started to retire the nuts just a month ago. First one on the list Tony Morris. Watchtower motto seems too be "too late and too little" 😉

I think the last GB ( Olds being GB now) really believed in the 1914 theory. And that biblical generation is 70-80 year's. 1990 s come around and org starts it's downhill ride. Maeby they just thought jigs up. This didn't work out as we thought and they just started to let everything hang out. Atleast from what I could see on broadcasting they seemed too have lost all interested in what they we're saying. Former GB members were full av enthusiasm when giving talks. This one been very robotic.

Prediction of Watchtower in a Few Years
by Foolednomore inkingdom halls will be the thing of the past.. conventions (mini assembly halls will still be going on) but will charge for attending and parking and always a donation.
elders will play a much smaller role since csa.
cart preaching will replace door to door.

Reminds me of the Nixon vs Kennedy tv debate 1960. First televised Presidential TV debate. Nixon came to studio directly from hospital. Looking really tired and didn't put makeup on. Kennedy came suntanned and full of life force. Voter's at home liked Kennedy more for that reason and Nixon lost the election. He didn't realise how important television would be for election. There are similarities with how org put GB Infront of camera. Not thinking what image that would give. They made a good website with all different languages. But have they treated the flock much better they probably wouldn't have the troubles they have to day with ex JW community.

Internet has brought everything too a light. All the Old lies. Oh org is run by donations only. We don't receive money from government. Org admits their fault, not like catholic Church. There's special protection when you go on service or meetings. Oh you must attend all 3 meetings a week or you not gonna get holy spirit. They got so many into organisation cause you really couldn't do any research on org before the internet. When the time came with internet and access to information, they planted the DF arrangement so you couldn't leave without losing your family.

Watchtower died off back in the 90s. It lost it privilege as fastest growing organisation in many countries. I remember even Catholic church was writing articles about the danger with watchtower growth. Can you imagine that. It still around. Who knows how long. But it's like British empire or other empires that come and gone. It still around but with out much importance. I guess it's beneficial for many ex JWs that org is around. They can earn money making YouTube videos about them. Watchtower hating ex JWs, but same time helping them make a living. The irony in that 😂😂. Just shows what joke org has become. Plus lawyers working with child abuse must be making a fortune helping watchtower. Besides that I don't really know what purpose organisation has this days.

Even If you don't get removed from GB cause of health reason, i could accept someone of older GB member ( like Samuel Herd) maeby would choose to step down. And that's highly unlikely. Think never happened before. But that the most controversial, outspoken and extrem of all GB members is gone. That is very suspicious. They have to give some kind of explanation to this.

Disillusioned JW Most JWs are not gonna abandon watchtower. Many in organisation are born in. Whole family is in. Is like does that hade to flee destruction of Jerusalem. They hade to abandon friend's, Family and business. Most JWs are not gonna be capable of that. They don't even read their bible anymore. Just thing's that come from GB. Sitting duck's.
