  "breaking news | 2023 conventions.

  we are pleased to announce that the governing body has decided that, jehovah willing, we will resume in-person regional conventions in 2023. branches will now begin scheduling dates and selecting venues.

  we pray for jehovah’s rich blessing to be with all those involved in the planning.".

  It was a passing news alert link on the jw org website which probably "expired" by design.

  Those JW . org "breaking news" alerts, as was the case here, usually appear for a short time, with no dedicated archive to revisit at jw . org itself. (WT has a reputation for record archive folly)

  A general internet archive may have captured evidence of the headline text before it "expired"

  If you are looking to verify existence the announcement, it was also discussed at a pro-JW forum:

  https://jwtalk.net/topic/52749-breaking-news-2023-conventions/

  We can also expect a branch letter to be read for congregations in the near future because evidently Armageddon is not being scheduled for 2023, only more culty conventions.

  but the elders should have announced the schedule to the congregation/your parents.

  Curious why you/they did not ask the loving shepherds of the congregation?

  Instead you chose to ask the online apostates?

  Their convention viewing program will resume next weekend. Two weekends on, one weekend off.... Two consecutive weekends of convention, third weekend regular meeting.

  Today should be their regularly scheduled congregation meeting PT & WT.

  Yes, that "Judah Ben Schroeder" thing literally means Judah son of Schroeder... how cute.

  But the name selection could also indicate delusions of grandeur, as if god almighty would somehow use this son-of-a-GB in some lofty prophetic significance.

  That delusional grandeur seems to align with the profile of the father, Albert Schroeder of the GB, who personally contributed enormous volumes of now obsolete interpretive content within the original edition of "Revelation - Its Grand Climax at Hand!" which included many references to "spiritual Israel" and the "anti-typical" "modern day" 12 tribes...

  Perhaps in the mind of GB member Albert Schroeder, his son Judah Ben Schroeder, might somehow, with a WT funded legal degree, become part of a modern day, anti-typical, spiritual Lion-out-of-tribe-of-Judah "class"... "by extension"...

  Is WT Influencing Dubs To Check On Other Dubs' Activities Via ZOOM And Otherwise?

  by HiddlesWife in

  the reason for my question is because one pimo has noticed that there are some pimis--particularly spimis--who have remarked that they "are not going to contact nor associate with the friends who are delinquent on zoom and/or at in-person kh meetings, conventions, and assemblies".

  i've noticed this as well: a few ppimis and pimqs who were very close to me and my exdub family members are hearing from them less and less lately than before last year's rc and this year's rc.

  so, is the above a thing nowadays?

  how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.

  my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.

  he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.

  No fundraisers for Judah Ben Schroeder nor any other WT elites benefiting from nepotism and cronyism.

  The real intent is to reexpose these little WT secrets for lurking readers and those that have forfeited prospects of gainful personal success in order to slave away for the WT machine only to be left at the curb uncompensated and disadvantaged.

  At best, one might receive hospice care at the WT infirmary unit in Fishkill NY; but more likely "reassigned" to scrape out a living elsewhere, trusting that their "vow of poverty" will be miraculously rewarded.
