Could this be a JW media venture?
by neat blue dog ini'm wondering if this is another step in wt branching out into attempting to profit through media production.
last year they already registered their hollywood style company "jw studios" as an llc, unlike their other corporations which are non-profit.. ( more information on that here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5740817149853696/jw-studios-llc-commercial-purposes ).
now, i see this video of a wt spokesman.

1 Forbidding earmarked donation efforts, and redirecting any such donations away from the donor's intended use.
2 "Modern day applications" of ancient writings to ancient audiences.
3 Earthly chain of command structure with a "special channel" to invisible diety.

@t_b_k
I wonder how many, if any, of these "new, younger Governing Body members" will claim to be of the annointed?
If any future GB members do not profess to have received the special calling to JW heavenly life after death a.k.a "anointed"... that would represent a major doctrinal change for JWs since being "of the anointed" was a prerequisite for every GB over the decades of JW history.
If WT opens GB membership to non-anointed JW men, they would have a vastly wider pool of candidates beyond the few odd-ball dip$hit "anointed" company men employed by WT today.
However, seeing the WT modus operandi over many years, any men chosen as top brass leaders, whether "anointed" or not, will most certainly be megasaurus charlatans...
This is unavoidable because survival of the JW belief system requires that level of delusional dip$hit driving force.

They are also already in the process of training potential new, younger Governing Body members. There is much speculation around Bethel...
Exactly how do they "train" someone to become young new members of the JW GB?
Qualifications seems much too easy... simply become a delusional odd-ball charlatan dip$hit.
Does bethel HQ have a secret training textbook for that career path?

Why resume all forms of public ministry except door-to-door?
Does WT fear bad publicity or litigation from: 'JWs came to my door uninvited and gave me covid?'

Will the ministry ever resume?
by optimisticskeptic ingoing on 2+ years of no public ministry.
can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.
i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

All paths in and out of JW high control can become lethal.
Seek healthy external support, preferably before exiting the cult.
