@slimboy we are in Holland now in total lockdown because of omicron.
I think not much change will come for Watchtower in 2022.
The rank and file are in last of the last day mode.
And will get disapointed in a few year because nothing happened.

well don't know if this page has tread for new years predictions or with date it starts.
so might as well start now.
my new year's prediction for watchtower would be a big big sell out of kingdom hall's.

2017 tony morris jw gb.
"the end is imminent!".
timestamp (06:00).
And at AMG he is now stating that the end is not there.
And never believed it was.

Merry Christmas everyone!

you men, who were brothers in the congregation and you were dating sisters in the congregation, did you find that they cared more about how you made them look in the congregation than they cared about you?.
you women, who were sisters in the congregation and you were dating brothers in the congregation, were you more concerned about how he affected your status & how you were viewed in the congregation, than you cared about him?.
Witfh a lot of luck I got one of the best girls I could get, in the jw bubble.
I was 28, she was 26. A good age to make this choice.
I was MS, from a good standing jw family.
Because i'm more the Huge Grant version of Notting Hill the status must have played some role, but more that I was different at time, thinking about fading then! No words about pionering, no talk about the organization. I was building a house.

as the title says, we are nearly at the end of the 2nd year of the 2020’s, and already jw org is not only a car crash, but an absolute train wreck.. i’ve watched the annual meeting 2021 already, and it seems the gb are in fighting, morris openly disagreeing with lett, that is massive, and it’s something that has largely not been commented on by this community.
covid-19 is not going anywhere, any trial meetings will surely be shut down, now omicron is doing the rounds.. it looks highly likely we will see a second negative growth year.
“young ones” are waking up by the masses.
FFGhost,
I think to play all the expectations down.
Maybe scared for a mass anticlimax in a few years from now.

just downloaded and watched the am iii speech about expetations about the end.. all i think it is ment to temper the high expetations that the rank and file have build up because of the pandemic.. most jw think that the big end will come now.. gb must be anticipating the anti climax that will come.. it is a very rare speech, i can say, and am iii was in a realistic mood, the audience was laughing and he was thinking "you are idiots", so it seems to me.. g..

GB must be anticipating the anti climax that will come.
It is a very rare speech, I can say, and AM III was in a realistic mood, the audience was laughing and he was thinking "you are idiots", so it seems to me.

would someone in the know please clarify for me some alleged comments given from the governing body at the recent/yet to be streamed for the rank and file annual meeting?.
it is my understanding that samuel herd basically tells the rank and file that old light is new light and the new light of july, 2013 is now old light.
to be specific, herd states that the official stance on whether or not the annointed remaining on earth, to include the governing body, will all be in heaven prior to armageddon.. at this same annual meeting tony morris iii tells those in attendance that stephen letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days!
There was some impact in our family. Grandpa was mad that his JW son and daughter, my father and aunt went on holiday in 1975.
In 1979 my father was angry about the society stand on 1975. With the WT article with statement about being wrong he was satisfied

What a madness.

the wt study for this week is all about disfellowshipping.
in an early paragraph it said "think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!".
however when you think about it, when this happened according to the wt teaching, jehovah still engaged with satan in the heavens (book of job) and had conversations with him about what was going on in the earth.. so why do the wt org practice shunning when jehovah god obviously didn't?.
So happy we fade, so we don't have to go theough this indoctrination and brainwash anymore.
G.
study article 50. listen to the voice of the fine shepherd.
9 consider an experience that illustrates how jehovah can care for our material needs.
a couple in full-time service drove over an hour in their old car to pick up some sisters living at a refugee center and take them to a christian meeting.
Fun.
The people who write laugh from their bureau.
