Study Watchtowers will now be simplified or rather be in a simple language
How much more simple can they get?
Instead of a regular "study" WT written at a third grade level plus a simplified edition written at a first grade level there will be just the one written at a second grade level. This effectively also cuts the number of "study" WT's in half.

@The Fall Guy
Agreed. However, the JW will look at that Bible directive and see only the words (1 Peter 3:15) But sanctify the Christ as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone who demands of you a reason for the hope you have, but doing so with a mild temper and deep respect.
And their eyes will glaze over and they, being ALWAYS READY, will robotically point the other person to the web-site. Never will they truly understand that is NOT what is meant by that Scripture. Sad.

a sister was killed when her and her husband had a flat tire on the way to walkill to volunteer.
Yeah...but at least that broke couple that got asked to stay an extra week miraculously got cash for agreeing to be bumped from their airline flight. Let's see...cash, or a wife's life? I guess we see what is most important in Dubya land

The days of smart, well-read, well-balanced people becoming JWs are over.
I made the comment to one of the "head bobbers" after the AM that years ago I felt that "we" as JW's were actually taught to THINK, REASON, and use our intellect in what at least resembled a serious attempt at genuine Bible study. They just gave me a WTF look and remarked that it was better that the mags and pamphlets were "dumbed down (my words, not theirs). They said not everyone is that intelligent these days so WT knows best how to reach them.

they were just recycling the same topics year after year after year and will probably continue to do so
Definitely. ATM III said as much. At the end of two years they will re-evaluate and if continuing printing will just reprint past articles. So, six mags a year, two years, twelve mags of 16 pages each. Should be real easy to just click a file and hit print. A trained monkey could do that. Heck maybe even Rubber Face could?

Pretty much what has been posted so far.
Chairman jackson said NuLite is that we are now permitted to pray for God's name to be vindicated...because his name is his reputation, and THAT was slandered along with his sovereignty.
loesch made a statement that caught my ear, and so far no one else heard it. He stated that the main purpose of "our" ministry is not to save lives, it is to praise Jehovah. And then read a scripture about praising the name of Jehovah. (Don't remember which one) Said the proceeds from Brooklyn property sales more than covered the costs of Warwick. I notice that he should have been counseled and given a "W" on his report sheet about "Audience contact, use of notes" as he was pretty well never looking up from them.
Of course during the break jackson had to remind everyone of the "privilege" to contribute and that there were contribution boxes in the lobby.
splain splained Ezekiel (as mentioned already).
sanderson flapped his jowls, but I snoozed through that.
Ditto for hurd.
Rubber face should have had his eyebrows stapled to his cheek. The best part of his time was when he misspoke and mentioned those raised up as angels to a life of immorality, then had to correct himself. A screen shot of the several seconds face he made would be hilarious to see.
Then of course was the "star" of the show (I guess we can tell now who is running things on the gb) ATM III. Yep cutting the number of mags in half again. Forget about anyone who likes the literature or a Bible discussion if they are not joining the JW's. The rest has been pretty well covered.
I don't recall, but I think it was splain that mentioned how when he started going in service he just did, no "approval" from the elders, because there were no elders back then, and no questions to be answered to get baptized...I wondered who asked the questions before the apostles got baptized? What about that Ethiopian eunuch story. How many elders asked him questions? I guess Jesus way of doing things wasn't good enough...
The best part of this whole dog and pony show was the part between the last "amen" and finishing a great meal with a couple cocktails afterwards.

Two coins of little value? Ok! Sure (!)
by purrpurr inlast thursday meeting was the verbal begging bowl item.
in which having told the audience that wt doesn't ask for money... proceeded to then ask for money.. among the usual scriptures cited "honor god with your valuable things" etc was also the widows mite story "she dropped in two coins of little value..".
and it occurred to me, two coins of little value in the uk would be two one penny coins!

NULITE: To be brought out at the "Special" Warwick compound dedication and money grubbing TV show this weekend.
(Malachi 3:8) . . .And YOU have said: “In what way have we robbed you?” “In the tenth parts and in the contributions. . .
Brothers...our money going out is in excess of the money coming in. You MUST quit robbing from Jehovah! We are hereby instituting a new loving arrangement where-by one-tenth of your income will be automatically withheld on the third of each month. (Amos 4:4) . . .and bring YOUR sacrifices in the morning; on the third day, YOUR tenth parts. . .
We send our warm christian love, and a huge bird to each of you!

I feel like making a copy of the elder's program and putting a copy under the windshield wipers of all of the cars at the next meeting.
HAHAHAHA. I did that very thing last night. The difference being that I only put the "elders" programs along with a hi-lited copy of the letter saying NOT to give the information to the MS's under each of the MS's vehicle wiper blades.

Wt's long term time speculations.
by waton inlast week's wt study, sept. 25 - oct, 1 , contains a wording often repeated in old publications, that is at variance with the bible's reading , (no surprise here), wherein wt writers have consistently insisted that the universal sovereignty issue will be settled by,- or at the end of the 1000 year reign.
this erroneous rendering of the events following satan's release after the millennium is again used in par.
"--it will not be until the end of his thousand year reign that all his enemies will be completely destroyed.." .

finally the third Armeggedon at the end of the 1,000 years.
To be followed at some point in time as revealed by Nulite in the scrolls yet to be opened by a fourth "Armageddon"...and a fifth...and a...well we all get the point.
