They probably gonna go online with meetings and report hours there also. No need for elders anymore. Just person that can do the administration work. If they still want to be called elders to boost confident the organization gonna keep the titles.

25Nowadays How Does One Become An Elder?
by minimus ini was appointed jan 1 1980 and back then it was a big deal to“qualify”.

The Latest Thing Waking People Up...
by pale.emperor insince i woke up and left i've been contacted by others i knew from my youth who've also left the cult.
also people around the world on facebook adding me out of the blue because we have mutual friends and they occasionally ask me stuff or share their story.. what i've noticed in the vast majority of cases, is that people are waking up not because of the arc or doctrine but apathy.
active jws are becoming less and less interested, less and less bothered.

That they only interested in preaching and other part of Bible they never show much interest in. Like NOT having appointment base on being sound of mind, loving and development as a speaker. GB is great proof of that. Always choosing Bible verses that are according to what they like to do preaching. Double standard in everything just tired me out. Plus all the fighting and suspicious they have to echader in KH. -

With the closing of KH and now this. I get the feeling they want to get away from the congregation. Or at least avoid people from district to have contact with JWs. And I thought there was so much love in the KHs😋😎

I remember a KH I attended in a ritch area. They hade to sell kingdom Hall cause they couldn't pay the rent. But I knew a lot of JWs in the area that own fancy summer houses in vacation places. I think they are selfish cause they been taught to enter new system you only have to preach.

I actually think they are very scared of writing new things in magazine.
Must be they worrie they can get lawsuit if it's something they write wrong.
They gonna repeat old information or write abouth subjects that are regular, like how to study.

This year’s convention
by lastmanstanding intwo things i noted at this year’s rc.
1) the new teaching with respect to matthew 25:45 which was applied equally to the rank & file jw.
this teaching is also found in the watchtower study for last sunday.. then he will answer them, saying: ‘truly i say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.. 2) the new armageddon video which was a big shift.

After 140 years of existen of this organization they finally found that God is not parcial and we all important in his eyes. Haha little to late I think. The past can not be fix with some lines in a magazine.
