Why would you post here without first reading some of the other threads on the site. 2 minutes of skimming is all it would take to discover that this is no place for dedicated witnesses.
All you're doing is playing into African cliches of technological ineptitude, which by the looks of things may have some truth to them.

Watchtower Rebranding
by Fred Franztone inthe wtbts has finally decided to join the rest of us in the 21st century and has begun rebranding.
they've dropped the iconic watchtower sign from their heaquarters, and it's only a matter of time till they drop the now embarrassing watchtower name completely; a name synonymous with failure on the one hand and concentration camps on the other.. the organisation will soon be known solely as jw.org, bringing them right up-to-date with the web 2.0 revolution of 15 years ago, and making them the only company still to use a full web address as their main identifier, very forward-thinking of them.. it's inevitable that they'll gradually rebrand everything.
what methods do you think they'll go with?

My parents still call it the kingdom ministry, so they apparently aren't aware of the change and they're PIMI.

At one of my final meetings, I answered a question about something deep and said 'frogs'. That's how little I cared by the end. -

Resurrection to Heaven
by Lost in the fog inct russell said the dead would be resurrected to heaven from 1874-1881.. then the judge decided that it was not 1874/5 for the return of christ but 1914, so moving the heavenly resurrection forward to be from 1914-1918.. in truth nobody knows when it happens or happened.
just because the watchtower leadership says something in the printed word doesn't mean that it is true.

read it please. 1975-2075. a composite family story. posted here
I tried to read it but it was written very strangely. Like it sort of made sense and sort of didn't. The grammar was peculiar and I didn't really understand what was going on.

FINALLY sexual abuse among Dutch JW gets attention on national TV! 80 reports received at Reclaimed Voices reporting centre during 1st month
by redpilltwice inthose who have been aware and informed have seen this coming.. of course it's just the beginning.
80 reports seems to be only the tip of the iceberg.
reclaimed voices is expecting hundreds of cases more.

Many reports come from people who are no longer members of the organization...
That'll be enough for most JWs to dismiss this as an attack from Satan.

I think the online subscription model seems highly plausible, it'd be a way of getting the rank & file to tithe without realising. They could even have a tiered system whereby elders and MS + family get a cheaper subscription, and bethelites get it for free, which would encourage members to reach out.
I could also see them dropping the literal 144K and liberalising the blood doctrine, i.e. making it a matter of personal conscience. I doubt that 1914 is going anywhere though, not this side of 2034 anyway, it's too important. They'll stop mentioning 607BCE though I'm sure, it's a collosal embarrassment.
