They're gonna be full online, remember 'big changes are expected '....
I guess the only presential meetings are going to be the Assemblies....just three times a year.

End within 2 years (again)
by road to nowhere inan old elder friend from out of town stopped to see my ailing wife.
more than the locals do.
he said elder school emphasized 2 years and the existing body will be the leaders through persecution and tribulation.

Ukraine - Nato - US crisis
by mikeflood indon't understand....but this crisis in ukraine seems to be getting out of control....i mean, everybody knows how to start a war..... by the way, as always, people at the borg are having a field day.....

Incredibile that I started this thread two years ago and things in Ukraine are more or less the same ..
Anyway the US and the UK are suggesting to allow Ukraine to use long range missiles against Russia....Putin is saying that if that happens it would "direct involve the US and allies in the conflict"...
Russia has allowed so many red lines to be crossed that the words of the late Sen. Mcain are becoming the truth "Russia is a gas station disguised as a country"

What would happen to a JW for celebrating Christmas?
by Vanderhoven7 inmark jones writes:.
if they were spied upon and it was reported to the elders they’d be “invited” to a judicial committee whereupon they’d be cross examined in a locked backroom by three men acting as judge and jury to decide if they are guilty.. .
if the elders decide that they are guilty, they’ll then decide if the person is sorry.

They're gonna go back to Xmas, rather sooner than later....
There's like scriptural base when you read it in the Bible, the angels chorus...the rejoicing, etc
They could spin it by focusing on Jesus, not Santa as nowadays. For example, what a glorious opportunity to give testimony!
People just walk away from studies when they learn about Xmas and birthdays.
However, don't give them ideas.

The August Study Watchtower: what is the big deal?
by ukpimo ini have been following a number of posts discussing the august watchtower study magazine.
i really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the annual meeting.
here's why.. the august watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release.
-

Well, remember that an announcement said: "If the issue of August 2024 it's not yet ready for when is time for study it....congs. would receive further instructions" .
So it's kind of baffling, at least....

The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes
by ukpimo inas an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.
perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.
how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

The weirdest thing is that the announcement says that Sept. and Oct. 2024 WT study could be send even if August 2024 not.....and that if by Oct. 2024 is not yet available....congs. would receive further instructions....
Maybe they are gonna start studying old issues....
