I have just read it quick. I think they have opened a box full of many questions with this new light and have backed themselves into a theology corner.
They are creating a third class in their heirarchy. The fds(gb), regular joe and jane partaker, and the other sheep. They will have to rewrite many books.

can we earn our salvation by preaching?
by solomon inare you trying to earn salvation by your door-to-door ministry?no.
we engage regularly in our door-to-door ministry, but we dont believe that we earn our salvation by doing such work.
(ephesians 2:8) why not?.

does not anyone see the hypocrisy here? This article is for the public to see, but at the kingdom hall the message is that if you are not a pioneer you may not survive armageddon.

not according to jw.org
Are You Trying to Earn Salvation by Your Door-to-Door Ministry?
No. We engage regularly in our door-to-door ministry, but we don’t believe that we earn our salvation by doing such work. (Ephesians 2:8) Why not?
Think of this comparison: Imagine that a benevolent man promised an expensive gift to everyone who showed up at a certain location on a given date. If you really believed the man’s promise, would you follow his instructions? No doubt! Likely, you would also tell your friends and family about the opportunity, so that they too could benefit from it. Even so, you wouldn’t earn the gift by following the man’s instructions. The gift is still a gift.
Likewise, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe God’s promise of everlasting life for all who obey him. (Romans 6:23) We endeavor to share our faith with others, hoping that they will benefit from God’s promises. But we don’t believe that we earn our salvation by engaging in our ministry. (Romans 1:17; 3:28) Really, no human could ever do enough to merit such an astounding blessing from God. “ He saved us because of his mercy, and not because of any good things that we have done. ”—Titus 3:5, Contemporary English Version.

The wt will always spin the story so that they weren't affected as badly as the "worldly" people in order for it to appear that Jehovah is protecting them.
It is a well orchestrated publicity campaign.

Health - has anyone else suffered long lasting health effects from years with the Borg?
by Chariklo indoes anyone else feel or know that jehovah's witnesses damaged their health?.
i know many have emerged with depression, and i'm very relieved that i am not one of them.. but, being the age i am, (a large tribe of grandchildren) i was nonetheless pressured to go out door to door in steep countryside often in bad weather, and because i was doing my best to keep up that ended in an injury which has proved to be long lasting.. and that's not counting the stress-induced consequences...i won't cite them all here, but physical.
a few days in hospital and a summer spent on compulsory almost complete rest can all be laid at the watchtower's door.the trauma of actually extricating oneself from the borg is not stopped when one has finally written that letter that disassociates oneself from them.

I know many brilliant Witnesses who said "I don't want my mate to take anti-depressants and become a drug addict.
they may not need the pills. they need to leave the pressure cooker congregation

Missionaries in Tiawan asked to give salaries back to bethel...one resigned!!
by Witness 007 ina friend from australia's first "ministerial training school" was excited to go to asia as a missionary....only to return in disgrace!!!
the government lets them stay if they become "english teachers" and except a part-time job for a salary {which is generous}.
bethel told him that the money he earns on the side while a missionary belongs to them!!

this is their vacation time that they work for a relative. It does suck and they know it but are still too indoctrinated to quit. They are or used to be heavy drinkers too. they are special pioneers assigned to a remote territory

the couple I know have to work on the hush hush because the bethel wont allow them to earn money. they still do work about one month a year just because what the bethel gives as salary is insufficient.
