Ages of each user here?
by ukpimo ini'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.

These days I seem to talk more to ChatGPT than my husbandFor 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 Below is the response.The August 2024 issue of the "Watchtower" magazine was withdrawn due to internal controversies and significant content concerns.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.

by Athanasius inon 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.

No offence to the oratory skills of your brother Rules, but the though of listening to such a talk, brings up a little vomit in my mouth. Yet, jw's will sit through pretending they are listening.
When my son was a teenager, he told that talks sounded like the Charlie Brown meme:
