The OP image is a screenshot of the WT study article for this week... "Revelation—What It Means for God’s Enemies" (apparently babies lol)
If you must, you can view the entirety of that study article here:
When WT taught that the scriptures were written primarily for the limited number of anointed JWs, such was at a time when WT taught that all anointed JWs were the f&d slave class.
Since WT has changed the identity of their f&d slave to be strictly the small group of anointed men serving at WHQ, aka the GB... it is a wonder that they didn't also then declare the scriptures to have been written primarily for the GB.
this video may be helpful to someone you know inside or exiting wt captivity.. the video is one long hour, but it unpacks damning fact-checked citations along with some dredged audio clips of gb bs, such as fred franz publicly doubling down on 1975, and sam herd publicly degrading women.. the content will be familiar to most of us here, but it could be a 'narcan' antidote to help awaken someone from the jw poison overdose.

Geof Jackson also fails to mention that the old book he boasts about is a publication that WT has attempted making unavailable to modern view. Even JW members will not find a digital copy of the book via normal WT channels, and certainly cannot order a hardcopy from WT as the book was long ago placed on the checklist for obsolete/discard/destroy.
These days the contents of most old publications are embarassing to the WT image.
Why Geof Jackson was permitted to go on camera publicly raving about that old book is yet another GB blunder.
We can expect much more GB folly to come in the future as they continue to seek greater screen-time and appoint new misguided characters as members of the governing body.

"they", as in governing body dweeb Geof Jackson... Yes, in that video he explains why he proudly displays in his executive office an old book published by WT. He omits explaining that the book displays is a revised edition, not a first print volume, which contains some outrageous (anti-Jewish) commentary and other WT rhetoric.

Millstone Research video:
i was asking the above question because a pomo friend of my family told me about an incident involving her and a couple of dubs who were physically abusive in the past.. a single sister who was running around from one cong to another cong looking for a husband.
she was visiting my friend's cong for less than a year.
there was a commuter bethellite bro who was very friendly towards my friend (which i'll call her "q") and her fam members.
Has Anyone Had any JWs PHYSICALLY Put Their Hands On You (And Not Within A Family Unit Situation)?
Yes.
up to 30,000 people contracted hiv and hepatitis c in the 1970s and 80s after being given blood treatments or transfusions on the nhs.. thousands have since died.. it just goes to show there is no such thing as a sure thing.. the wts may be wrong about their blood doctrine, and their bible interpretation to justify it, and how they enforced the rules about it, but ultimately may be correct in claiming that "bloodless surgery" was a safer option medically.. canada also had a contaminated blood scandal, where 30,000 were infected with hepatitis c and hiv.. in other news, paying for blood from high-risk donors is a bad idea.
who knew?
well apparently the people behind the schemes did, and that's why they covered it up.. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-61929986.
Yes, and now a future scandalous risk related to spike proteins and mRNA.
there is mention on a wikipedia article that there was a 2006 revision of the nwt.
is this true?
what differences are there?
@Jeff
Here is a WT official explanation of its "revision" to the NWT of 2013. This basic explanation cites only a few relatively benign "adjustments". Deeper research is required to identify the more biased additions/omissions which conveniently favor JW dogma.
Intro:
"OVER the years, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures has been revised a number of times, but the 2013 revision was by far the most extensive. For example, there are now about 10 percent fewer English words in the translation. Some key Biblical terms were revised. Certain chapters were changed to poetic format, and clarifying footnotes were added to the regular edition. It would be impossible in this article to discuss all the changes, but let us consider a few of the main adjustments."

i've been out for over 20 years and really can't keep up with the doctrinal and physical changes.
there have been so many construction projects, property sell-offs, and whatnot.
can someone clarify what exactly is in each city/town.
@HappyD
Your list is a fair description.
"Warwick" is a misnomer because the physical address of cult HQ is 40 Kings Drive Tuxedo Park, NY.
Map driving directions from the town of Warwick NY to the HQ address in Tuxedo Park NY... you will see two distinct places separated by distance.
Cult HQ is approximately 20mi/32km drive from Warwick proper.
The proposed "Ramapo" media production site is just 2mi/3km east of HQ.
For a JW official description of their facilities in upstate NY:
https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/bethel-tours/united-states/
Regardless of how WT self-describes its facilities, the reality is all WT owned facilities are ultimately corporate real estate investments utilized to sustain high-control propaganda operations.
the study edition of september has 2 question from readers.. one about what happens arround 1000 years after armageddon.. they compare 2 class of people: permanent resident and temporary visitors.
first: these doctrines are difficult to believe in.
and pure fake fantasy.. g..
So, the future utopia system on earth, as taught by WT, will be run much like the wicked worldly systems of today.
Imagine being resurrected to life into a JW paradise earth world, love-bombed and all-you-can-eat-fruit-buffeted every day, then eventually sat down before a committee of JW princes to be informed that you are not progressing good enough, therefore the JW princes will be recommending that your resurrection be terminated, and this judicial decision must be publicly announced to all other paradise dwellers.
Oh, and until the terminatation of your resurrection is finalized by the GB in heaven, your fruit-buffet privileges are restricted because you are now shunned.
