I am hearing that more changes are coming in the Fall. I trust my source(s). Nothing of any significance mind you, but definitely on a list of 'wants' by the Rank n File.

Prediction: no more changes for a long while
by slimboyfat ini’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.
so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.
maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

A plaintiff attorney was told by an insider that WTC was now inclined to pay rather than go to court. They have been losing in court so that explains them turning on autopay. This also confirms what I was aware of also.
The question is, will the relaxation of state stautes result in enough cases to dwarf the Legal Dept and the Treasury?

Sektenkult - the facility is still used for C.O.s to be "updated" on the latest position that the Branch wants them to stand behind. Others who have left Bethel also receive schooling for one effort or another.

Assembly with the branch representative
by LaFrancia inwe had the meeting with the branch representative this weekend.. the air was different than usual.. bearded ushers at the parking lots welcomed the brothers warmly.. lots of sisters with dress pants or not, nothing scandalous.. the representative of the italian branch made his debut on stage with his full beard.. location: roseto degli abruzzi (italy-europe).
some interesting statistical data can give a little food for thought after the numerous changes that have occurred in recent months (the ten-year or five-year plan, if you prefer, seems to be producing some small results).. attendance has increased since the last meeting.. our constituency includes 1725 publishers and those present in the morning were 1553, a little better than the november 2023 convention.
perhaps the new changes have brought some back to attendance?.

From what I hear, the yang wans are still getting baptized, but not staying in. A significant percentage leave later between 18-21. Apparently the pressure for born-ins to get baptized is increasing as fewer 'converts' are made.

Step 1 - turn around and go back to when you were away from the JWs.
There is no step 2.

The epicenter of Friday’s metro-area quake was around Watchtower's former Mountain Farm in Lebanon, NJ
by was a new boy in'the epicenter of friday’s metro-area quake was around the sleepy, tiny, agricultural town of lebanon, nj — where the temblor sent residents running home from work to check their houses and loved ones.. the us geological survey confirmed that the rare historic 4.8 earthquake struck around 10.23 a.m. near the small borough in hunterdon county — just a stone’s throw from donald trump’s national golf club in bedminster, where a 2.0 magnitude aftershock was felt shortly after.. the incident caused buildings to shake everywhere from the big apple to pennsylvania, connecticut and delaware.. “i was working from my home office in town, and everything started falling off the shelves,” lebanon mayor james pittinger told the post.
“i felt a shake like i’ve never felt in the 30 years i’ve lived here.. “it was one of the craziest things i’ve ever experienced.”.

Vidiot - my information is that the CSA lawsuits are life-threatening indeed for WTC. Despite the effort to suppress, plaintiff attorneys have reached that conclusion during discovery into WTC finances. This echoed what I was aware of as well.
But some say, they are swimming in cash! They are building a mega video studio. They just purchased the Geico building!
Look closely and see that no progress has been made on the studio at Ramapo. The Geico purchase smells like a potential flip of some part that is actually a money maker.
If it sounds like I am calling B.S., I am. It is not the first time that WTC has done this. They are King of the Pump N' Dump and the Flip.
Remember Burney Madoff - he lived like a King until his office was raided.

Regarding the recent admonition by WTC to "get back out there and get some Bible Studies!!!", they failed to acknowledge that most of the Bible Studies being conducted were with the children conducted bt=y their parents. The monthly report compiled by the Secretary does not differentiate between field Bible Studies and domestic Bible Studies.
Also, many so-called Bible Studies are doorstep variety. If asked, the householders would not validate that they were "studying" with JW's.
The question is, what can be done to get the publishers to resume "studying" with their children and householders in the field? Probably nothing. They stopped counting because they don't have to report time which is why they had the "Bible Studies" in the first place.
The decrease underscores that many JWs knew that the studies were yielding nothing. They were just numbers concocted for the sake of having hours to report for the purpose of getting the elders off their backs.
Guess what pioneers - you have to make up the difference in the future!! Get crackin'.

I recall a story about a hunter (trapper) who stepped into his own trap while trying to check it buried in the snow. He was unable to free himself and was forced to travel home with it attached to his ankle.
WTC often is caught in the traps it lays. It seems that they have become active disinformation providers on certain social media, and they are quite attentive to respond quickly to anyone challenging them - very quickly I might add. I can only guess that this is their primary job, unlike most posters who occasionally catch up on the latest and post a few replies.
On another platform, I read one such poster. The replies were Pro-WTC, and delivered all day long, often within seconds of dissenter comments. Maybe a newbie at WTC who has yet to learn how to be subtle?
I recall that the gullible put faith in every word. It is important to remember also that WTC has been misleading (successfully) for well over 100 years. They are accomplished liars and control artists. They also learned from the Soviets who infiltrated them after WWII. Occasionally they show some brilliance so beware of underestimating them.
When/if you spot a WTC troll, be aware. Like a wolf, they salivate at the thought of throwing an “apostate” out. Perhaps they get a bonus (an extra helping of “repeat loaf” at lunch) and get to ring a little bell too.
