two observations here.
(1) i just saw a segment on the 4 corners documentary involving erwin zalkin.
the u.s lawyer involved in the law suites against watchtower.
The update #7 shows the GB continue to beg for the TRUST of their members. The restrictions and Covid 19 idleness keeps members in front of TV screens which detailed documentary like this can be aired.
I wonder how many members would have been caught off guard when the IICSA report came out across the media houses in the UK.

And their update #7 will be used to hammer it into the mind and memory of members not to WATCH it.
now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.
Why is this other sheep and great crowd doctrine this complicated, Or is it my own view of it?
Is this statement correct "the great crowd of other sheep".
I don't think the generation of born in in year early or late 1980 could fully grasp this generation doctrine. I only discovered this manipulative doctrine when the need to leave was already at the door but as at then I had a good laugh at the meeting when Mr splane was esplaining that a toddler is within same generation with a 70 or eighty years old.

Rest Minimus, we are powerless to say you should not go to rest. We will miss your numerous updates and questions. Condolence to the family.
if jw wants to know the truth about the truth, what will you talk about first?
Since they agree that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. My first question will be..
1. Is their any difference or similarity between the truth in John 14 :6 and the truth the organization(WTBTS) propagate below....
No matter where we may live on earth, God’s Word continues to serve as a light to our path and a lamp to our roadway as to our conduct and beliefs. (Ps. 119:105) But Jehovah God has also provided his visible organization, his "faithful and discreet slave", made up of spirit-anointed ones, to help Christians in all nations to understand and apply properly the Bible in their lives. Unless we are in touch with this channel of communication that God is using, we will not progress along the road to life, no matter how much Bible reading we do." Watchtower 1981 Dec 1 p.27
NOTE: Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
2. Is there any difference or similarity between the truth captured in John 3:16 and the truth they(WTBTS) teach as captured below......
for Jehovah so love the WORLD in 1914 and by extension 1919 that he he provided his only VISIBLE organisation on earth that whosoever believe and trust the errors/mistakes and imperfect spiritual food (WatchTower February 2017) from the Faithful and discreet slave will not perish but survive Armageddon and gain everlasting life.......... John 3:16.

They know they are at war and considering how what Mr David said about the media, courts and negative reports about the organisation in the report on skysports. They should know those they see as enemies are using night vision glassesto watch their every move.

this item just featured on the bbc lunchtime news today as the headline story and the piece included a reporter who singled out jehovah's witnesses for discussion from the 30 organisations covered by the report.
the news item then went on to feature an extensive interview ex elder and ex jehovah's witness writer lloyd evans..

my fifty year-old daughter is studying to be a jehovah witness.
i am her catholics father.
just wondering because they are not allowed to associate with worldly people.
Captives of a concept comes to mind.
Did she needs to be a member of the organization WTBTS to be SAVED?
If she understands that question enough to see how irrelevant being a member of the organization really means.
Allow her to proceed.
insight book page 1019 volume 2. personification does not prove personality.. this is seen in the explanation given regarding jesus using he for the holy spirit.
that the holy spirit is said to do so many things like hearing, receiving speaking does not prove that holy spirit is a personality.
on that same page proverbs 8:1-36 was cited.

Personification does not prove personality.
This is seen in the explanation given regarding Jesus using HE for the holy spirit. That the holy spirit is said to do so many things like hearing, receiving speaking does not prove that holy spirit is a personality.
On that same page Proverbs 8:1-36 was cited. The JW believes this account is talking about Jesus in his pre-existennce despite stating under the Jesus part of the the insight book that wisdom is personified and feminine. Insight book..... Page 52 Volume 2/ page 1019 volume 2
In summary
1. Personification does not prove personality for HOLY SPIRIT
2. Personification does prove personality for Jesus Christ
