  the last two seem very young.. will there be any further new gb members or will they all die off?.

  i still remember when tony morris and a few other joined many were disappointed thinking the current crop would be the last.

  I think Paul Gilles may be on the list for the future.

  I think so too. He fits the pious prick profile. When you consider how he LIED to the editor of the Guardian during the UN debacle, yes, he'll be part of the new crop of gb in the not so distant future.

  if anyone knows more, a comment is welcome.

  if you visit the official jw website and search for bologna it will take you to some articles and 1 video.

  the site shows a building completed in 2020 with 41 apartments, there is a photo with alleged bethelites looking out from the balconies and waving.

  It sounds like they ran out of money, I was quickly reading on the Italian blog that contribution boxes have been set up exclusively for the Bologna project.

  Here is the proffered lofty branch. Looks like the Italians want to compete with Warwick

  Ages of each user here?

  i'm interested to know the age demographics here.

  it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.

  it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

  The more you lie in the organization, the higher up you go. This is what Paul Gilles has done.

  These days I seem to talk more to ChatGPT than my husband

  For fun, today I asked: why was the Aug. 2024 watchtower deleted? Below is the response.

  
  

  The August 2024 issue of the "Watchtower" magazine was withdrawn due to internal controversies and significant content concerns. Reports suggest that the issue included sensitive material, particularly surrounding updates on disfellowshipping practices.
  
  There has been ongoing pressure on Jehovah’s Witnesses to modify their approach to disfellowshipping, especially in light of legal challenges and societal pressures in various regions, such as Europe and Japan [oai_citation:1,The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes](https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4847505582325760/august-2024-watchtower-controversy-potential-further-changes) [oai_citation:2,2024 Governing Body Update #3 - Page 6 - Encouragement for the Worldwide Brotherhood - JWTalk - Jehovah's Witnesses Online Community](https://jwtalk.net/topic/57942-2024-governing-body-update-3/page/6/).
  
  Additionally, some speculate that the content might have been deemed embarrassing or required significant revisions, prompting the leadership to halt its release temporarily. This situation mirrors past instances where controversial or problematic content led to similar actions [oai_citation:3,The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes (page 6)](https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4847505582325760/august-2024-watchtower-controversy-potential-further-changes?page=6).
  
  The exact nature of the problematic content has not been publicly disclosed, and the organization has not provided an official detailed explanation. For more in-depth discussions and perspectives on the matter, you can explore further details on forums like [JW.org](https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6445429145395200/august-2024-watchtower-controversy-potential-further-changes) and [JWTalk](https://jwtalk.net/topic/51212-august-2024-watchtower-delayed/).

  I can remember being embarrassed to use the name "Jesus" because we didin't want to resemble the born again christians. Look at them now.

  I am wondering if they are trying to imitate the series, the Chosen.

  Where is Tony?

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.
