I think circuit overseers should have a job like the apostle Paul
by forzaitalia inam i being mean, thinking that travelling overseers should get a part-time job like paul did, in order to not be a burden to the congregation?
i wouldn't put my hand up when we were asked to raise it if we were happy to give £50 from congregation funds to the c.o.
so that he could take his wife out for a meal.

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?

In addition to hiding the statistics disaster in the first place, I think this new reporting system will pave the way for each publisher (will be required) to create a jw.borg account and submit their reports from there.

Jesus is not Michael the Archangel, He can't be. There is no single archangel as the JWs claim (See Daniel 10). it's a WT fabrication. So they want to make Jesus look inferior and to reinforce the "belief" that there is nothing divine about him..6 biblical facts about the archangel Michael
1. Michael is the only one the Bible calls an archangel
We’re told Michael’s title in Jude 9. The Greek word for “archangel” (archággelos) means “chief angel” or “chief messenger.” The word “archangel” isn’t use to describe him in the Old Testament, but another angel calls him one of the chief princes (Dan 10:13).
Calling Michael “one of the chief princes” implies that Michael has peers. However, if there are any other archangels, the Bible doesn’t tell us who they are.
2. Michael stands guard over Israel
In Daniel’s last vision, an angel describes how the last days will play out for the Jews. It is at this time that Michael, “the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people will arise” (Dan 12:1). The angel also refers to Michael as Daniel’s prince (Dan 10:21). The Bible doesn’t say what “standing guard” entails, but it’s very clear that Michael has special responsibilities for Israel.
3. Michael directly opposes Satan
Jude mentions that Michael argues with Satan about the body of Moses (a nod to a Jewish tradition). Unfortunately, we’re not given any more information on what that argument was about. Jude does tell us that Michael wasn’t so bold as to pronounce a “railing judgment” (the Greek word for “railing” is often translated “blasphemous” or “defaming”) against the devil. What he does say is interesting enough to merit a fact to itself . . .
4. Michael only says four words in the Bible
Well, three Greek words that are often translated into four English words. In Jude 9, Michael says to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you!”
5. Michael is a military commander of some angels
In John’s apocalypse, he sees a great war in heaven: Michael and his angels vs. the dragon (Satan) and his angels. The devil and his forces are too weak to remain in heaven, however, and so they are all thrown down to earth (Rev 12:7–9).
6. Michael battles the patron angels of other nations
In Daniel chapter 10, the prophet fasts, humbling himself before God and praying for understanding regarding the Jews’ future. An angel finally appears to him 21 days later, and explains the delay: the “prince of Persia” had been opposing him the whole time, and it wasn’t until Michael relieved the angel that he could continue his trip to Daniel. The angel stays with Daniel long enough to give an outline of future events for the Jews, but must return to fighting the prince of Persia (and the prince of Greece will soon join the fight, too). Only Michael supports this angel against these forces (Dan 10:21).

@raymond frantz
Here is my two cents.
I too have wondered about these two Witnesses over the years, and there is a disagreement among the commentators/scholars as to the identity of these two Witnesses. If we reduce the opinions into two groups: Enoch-Elijah and Moses-Elijah.
My opinion is that there is a connection between these two Witnesses of Rev and the 2 who appeared to Jesus (during transfiguration). They must also have been known historically and had something in common. Peter recognizes these two people when he sees them and wants to build them tents. So these two men must have been well known and there was no doubt about who they were when they appeared with Jesus.
I don't think Moses and Elijah have significant things in common, but Enoch and Elijah do: both were taken up to heaven without seeing death. The apocryphal writings also state that these two were kept as two Witnesses and that in due time they would descend to earth.

"How Long Would Jesus' Reign Be?"
by BoogerMan insimple enough question for a jw to answer, because the org has told them for over 100 years that, .
a) jesus would reign for 1000 years, and.
b) that his reign began in 1914 when he became king.

In order to understand this issue and others, I believe one must also include [so called Apocryphal] books removed from the scriptures, historic books that might be related and the opinions of Bible scholars in his/her examination that is free of any bias. Then I believe it will be possible to find the answers. The overall picture will look clearer when these little bits and pieces of information coming together like puzzle pieces. If we are seeking the truth, the information we find will make sense and we will be convinced.
Because our current (and maybe the only) understanding is relying completely on the "Organization" and its distorted interpretations, thinking outside the box can feel impossible (maybe we'll still be trying to rationalize the Organization's interpretation) and then at the end the simplicity of the answer we get can make us even doubt causing an unfillable void.

At least they gave credits.
Anyway, I've remarked also that the video is narrated by a woman. Did they do that previously or is it something new?
