Before the "Overlapping Generation" nonsense of 2010, this would have likely been a big deal in JW land...
Now, it doesn't even receive much attention on an "apostate" website...
How times have changed...

What of our time? On Friday morning, October 2, 1914, Charles Taze Russell, who took the lead at that time among the Bible Students, strode into the dining room at Bethel in Brooklyn, New York. “Good morning, all,” he said cheerily. Then, before taking his seat, he joyfully announced: “The Gentile times have ended; their kings have had their day.” Once again, the time had come for Jehovah, the Sovereign of the universe, to act in behalf of his people. And act he did. -Watchower November 1, 2007 page 24 paragraph 11.
have any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?
as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".
ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.
latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.

what "special meeting" is going on this weekend?
or it may be several weekends?
not the annual meeting that everyone is pumped up about, but a "special meeting" that i heard an elder say he is attending this weekend.
more speculation, why not?.
will they install credit card readers so the faithful, but cashless, can contribute?.
hoser.
if the original announcement still hold for this weekends 'open' annual meeting, it will be streamed live to (only) english speaking members.
is this still the plan?.
i'm interested in hearing from all on the forum where 'their' program will be broadcast.. our local kingdom hall will be live streaming the meeting.. .
i cant freakin wait for your comments this week!.
.
omg that aticle was hysterical!.
These 8 delusional charlatans in Brooklyn have pulled off the stunt of the century... completely dethroning 11,000 men and elevating themselves to ultra-elite status... all while JWs were probably just thinking about what to wear to the annual meeting next week...
i kid you not.
the letter read twice at our meeting stated that the travelling delegates should be at least 19 yrs of age, but be an exemplary publisher for over 20 yrs.
how can this work?.
Not only that... you have to take this special class to qualify...
