new jun 23 wt....elders to follow gideon example, even if instructions doesn't seems practical, gideon reduced army by 99 % and he obeyed, it could be changes in theocratic direction similar to this.
what that means?.
elders will need the courage to follow instructions "may relate to delivering a symbolic hailstone message...".. in another section "major world events may raise some from spiritual slumber".
It's kind of official : "How we will respond if we are asked to preach a hard-hitting judgement message and unbelievers oppose us?"
It is a quote from WT July 2023....so the Borg is preparing the RF for a final message and then perhaps.... they're going to stop preaching
betty georges is listed as a helper to the governing body service committee, according to this page on the website: https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/governing-body-jw-helpers/.
anybody know anything about her?.
Just wait until GB 3.0 is fully in charge.... I'll bet $ 100 that is gonna be nu-light (remember Anna the prophetess in the NT and Deborah the judge in the OT), and presto, women would at least MS !
There's no way the could fill the ranks of elders and MS without women!

Also "God's opposers will in some sense declare peace and security"
The last (covering their tracks, as always), "whether we live through the great tribulation or die before"
didn't know silicon valley bank was so important for start-ups....now there's some sort of contagion, people taking their money from regional banks to the big banks.
.
system seems pretty resilient and different from 2008. thoughts?.
CNN...."UBS agree to buy Credit Suisse for $ 3.25 billions, about 60 % less than the bank was worth when markets close Friday."
I wonder what's gonna happen with the other handful of banks tomorrow Monday. Lucky guess, the government is taking the complete deposits (over $250 k) as insurable.
Kinda weird how fast this situation is evolving.
i used to have a large-ish novel collection but my current collection is scaled-down because i was forced to move back to bolton 4 years ago and didn't have enough room for them all in my suitcases.. i currently own just 9 novels.. salem's lot (stephen king).
three by john ajvide lindqvist:.
let the old dreams die.
Light reading? All the Agatha Christie novels, you know detective novels.
More difficult, like "Brave New World" by Huxley.
If you have the time (is always the time...) "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky...or "Light of August" by Faulkner...

kingdom 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.
Ohh...just one weekly meeting, as a consequence less KH. A bonus, one month your meeting is gonna be midweek, next Sundays. Preaching is gonna be mandatory as always, but just for campaigns several times a year.
A wild guess, you are gonna be able to celebrate birthdays again, of course being circumspect.
A big no, no for people to being in the WT is the amount of meetings and the celebration of birthdays
have you guys noticed, this year 2023 no more public edition magazines...i wonder how they are gonna spin that fact.

i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .
Well...GB 3.0 would drop it as soon as they are in charge...nu-lite and everything.
Something on the lines like, well, we couldn't go in front of the scriptures, and besides that Babylon the Great is still in place...so keep that thing, it's fall for like before Armageddon, etc,etc. and carry on please.
Nobody is gonna beat an eye, the Borg in general don't really care for that now. Remember, most of the oldies are gonne now.

When the GB 3.0 is complete.....they are gonna kick 1914 to the curb, like immediately.
