Think not focusing on music and dancing was one big mistake JW leaders made. Have read that Rutherford (of course 😁) removed singing from meetings. Was like that for some year's.They probably wanted to differentiate themselves from other group's. But instead it made for very boring and passive meetings. Whole Bible is about music and singing. From the old testament with their assembly's and new testament praising God at the meetings with Cheerful singing.

by BluesBrother inthis made me chuckle.
a new song that they are encouraged to practice for the convention.. “ we know your day will come, sure as the rising sun.
no matter how long it takes , it will not be late” …………... it is based on habakkuk 2 , we discussed this in depth around 1973/1974.

by XBEHERE inanother topic based on a conversation with a friend living near warwick (i talked to him over the weekend).
he said that cong's in and around bethel, including his, are slowly starting to see an uptick with people attending in person his cong is pretty much 75%+ in person.
however there are many that still use zoom as a fall back.

You know when the food and service is bad at restaurant, people don't visit the place. That's what's going on with spiritual food headquarters producing. Living near Warwick and having bethelits in congregation, does he have any news about Tony Morris? Like if he still at bethel?

They should be more scared of the part of the GT when Jesus separate the sheep's from the goat. When Slave Class either rewarded or punish. They never focus on the juridical part of the GT. Maeby they don't fear God. Or they just use the GT to scare rank and file. -

Hellothere
Their doctrines and orgs directions ( preach preach preach) haven't change last hundred year. So they must have realised last year's now, that they made totally wrong decisions. It's time to stop this little charade governing body and confess things. What things have you made wrong decisions about?

"It's kind of like saying, "I have sinned" but never admitting to anything specific" That's exactly what they done. Like rank and file they shouldn't get a pass. They should go out and be specific about what they done.

"The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction".
I know this subject been talked about before. Most seem too think it's about errors in new light. But the more I think about what they wrote, it's seems they addressing much bigger issues.
"The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters( Doctrine (from Latin: doctrina, meaning "teaching, instruction") is a codification of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions, taught principles or positions, as the essence of teachings in a given branch of knowledge or in a belief system. DOGMA)] or in organizational direction(what the organization wants to be in the future)". One thing if they said hundred years ago they went wrong direction. But now they basically admitting is over for org. Sure they are to proud too say what mistakes. But this is the closest that watchtower gonna go admitting they mess things up.

Haven't never understood how you gonna run to Kingdom Hall. Or contact people in your congregation, when Jesus said there wouldn't be time to climb down from roof. Neither time to go home to get clothes.
Matthew 24: 15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

Dang Wow didn't know how fast rumors spread in JW land. Someone heard from long time prominent JWs that Tony was in car accident. Other from bethelits that he was removed from bethel. Others that he was still in. Other bethelits said that he was sick and hade to abandon Bethel. Wonder what rumours going around me now that I don't attend meetings 😂

Closer to family? Thought his closest family was in bethel. Best medical care and pampering would be in bethel, we're GB treated like royalty. Not being taken care at home but elderly wife. And why put burden on family taking care of you, if it's guaranteed bethel gonna take care of you, especially being sick GB member. Why abandon Bethel at old age if you don't have too. Don't believe he left cause age and health. We probably never know what happened. But with removing talks he made, feels like watchtower sending message he was involved in wrong doings.
