Alert not required... I already mentioned that this is pure speculation.
as many of you know, the watchtower corporation has recently slowed bible production significantly over the past year... i'm sure there are several reasons for this.
money being the main one.
but i suspect that they are also anticipating a significant exodus worldwide after the 100th anniversary of jesus' kingdom with "the end" being no where in sight.

there has been some renewed interest in the meaning of the name jehovah on the forum in recent weeks.
combined with the ongoing discussion about the new "overlapping generation" teaching, speculation among the friends and among the ex-friends has been reaching something of a frenzy.
so it's perhaps appropriate that a little more should be revealed now about the meaning behind some of the perplexing events that have been taking place.
um, and this is based on what exactly?
10. (a) Illustrate how we might maintain our
enthusiasm for the truth. (b) How has the ministry
helped you not to tire out?
That's like asking:
(b) How has eating junk food helped you not to get fat?

But I suspect that they are also anticipating a significant exodus worldwide after the 100th anniversary of Jesus' kingdom with "The End" being no where in sight. To offset this expected drop in numbers, they will likely be using the "straw-man effect" to take some attention away from their failed "prophecies". So, among other tactics, I believe they will be producing a special 100th anniversary Bible of sorts which they intend to hipe up in the 2014 DCs... The theme of this DC will probably be something like: "100 years brothers! Aren't we so excited to be THIS close to the end?" (of course, this is pure speculation folks... but you have to admit that it does sound like something they would do out of desperation)
the scoop of humanity at one khall, the anointed ones" were a mixed group.. one bro, h. had been in for eons.
he was df for adultery, back in the day when they would announce your sin openly from the platform to everyone.
he just kept on coming and partaking until he was reinstated.
I knew 2 annointed...
1. Ministerial Servant. Very smart and eloquent. He never progressed to elder because the BOE felt he needed to "simplify his speech" when giving talks or answering during the rag study. I just think he was never recommended because the BOE felt intimidated by him. He started to partake in his late 30's..
2. Pioneer Sister. Mentally unstable with occasional fits of anger. But the elders felt she qualified to pioneer since she had a nack for getting Bible studies and return visits. She died recently and her elder husband was disfellowshipped for soliciting the services of a professional escort (or should i say "social worker").
i heard from a reliable source that governing body member david splane will be giving a talk in calgary where all the flooding was last week.

this morning as i got up, it was 0 f outside.
this morning at 9 o'clock as usual the same witnesses will go door to door at this temperature.
i already saw them going door to door at -25 f. i wonder what it would take for them to say it is too cold or too hot to go out in the field service?
Child Protective Services should be contacted whenever JW parents drag their children to Field Circus under extreme weather conditions... now that's child abuse!!!
I remember getting frost bit one Saturday morning at age 9... I'll never forget it... But I can't blame my parents... this came on the heels of a Do-More-Or Die Talk back in January of '74...
so on friday all day, the mic guy did a bang up job.....until david splane got to the podium.
it looked like he discussed how the mic should be set up for him, then finally when the mic guy was walking away david says " well im glad we got that settled".
then today same thing, he got the mic guy to readjust the mic for him again.
All David Splane had to do is simply walk around the podium and adjust the microphone stand himself... It would have taken him all of 5 seconds... But that's probably beneath him... besides, he probably enjoys publicly humiliating people whenever the opportunity presents itself...
