You didn't just paint pictures, the GB/President spelled out predictions in graphic detail. Then claimed it was everyone elses fault for believing those predictions. There're enough people alive today who lived through this era to call BS on the theocratic warfare, Rattigan.

Real reasons behind this change?
by Gorb injust a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.
a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?
maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

What Happened to 2034?
by NotFormer insome years ago the wt started putting it out there that noah took 120 years to build the ark, and since the wt was the new ark, it may allow them up to 2034 (1914 + 120) before armageddon.
it could have been their new 1975 to get excited about, but i don't see any mention of it at all now.
what happened during the two decades since last i observed anything about the wt?.

No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!
by BoogerMan inthis is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

"I imagine it’s somewhat like the Dursleys and Harry Potter.
They wanted him gone ‘cause they hated him, but at the same time, they wanted to keep him around so they could make his life miserable."
The drawback of "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" is... your enemies are close! Why would anyone want that??

I think Ray Franz and his circle had postulated a later alternative date to 1914, IIRC.

They could have bought the organisation some time if they had decided to run with it. It's still a decade out now. If they wanted to ignite some excitement it might work if handled properly. Not that the GB ever handle anything competently. The recent announcements suggest that they've given up on trying to ignite excitement for the preaching "work".
I'm not saying that I want the GB to have another urgency club to beat their flock with. Just that I'm surprised 🙀 that they wouldn't run with such an obviously convenient way to extend the relevance of 1914. I had personally theorised the 2034 date in the 90s, but I never mentioned it on boards like this because, quite frankly, I didn't want to help the GB and give them any ideas (of course Bethel monitors these sites! 🙄). Then in the early 2000s this idea began to circulate, especially after the 2003 Watchtower article, by then I was no longer interested in the WT and "faded" from this site.
