The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes
by ukpimo inas an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.
perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.
how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

If the governing body is still discussing the content, we will have the September w on about June 22, but no one knows when the August w will come out, not even the governing body. The note says if it arrives too late there will be further instructions -

The Watchtower Study edition always comes out around the 20th-22nd of each month. The one for August 2024 was supposed to be released no later than May 25th. I'm 2 weeks late. Some think that it contains 5-6 studies and that is the reason for the delay. This is not true, in fact they sent the note only for the elderly. There were only 2 cases that were similar but not exactly the same.
1) the withdrawal from the printing presses of the book on Giacomo as Raymond Franz states
2) Ted Jaracz's attempt to block the printing of an Awake!, as Barbara Anderson states
but this case w August 2024 seems one of a kind.

by LaFrancia inbrother jackson visits the italy branch.to all the missing brothers and ex-brothers greetings stay healthy!this week brother jackson from world headquarters is visiting rome and bologna where the new branch will be built (by now the watchtower has turned into a multinational construction company and the old days are just a beautiful faded memory).the bethel of "italian/dissident/fugitive/spiritual" witnesses (active, but who do not agree with the organization's policies and directives because they are unscriptural) which has only a virtual location on the internet, (john 4:23, 24) will inform with a simple report this weekend.these are routine visits, but sometimes information of interest to the lord's servants can come out by mistakegreetings.

Some data that shows there is no growth. The constituencies in 2015 were 182, in 2024 there are 172. The publishers in 2015 were 251,650 while in 2024 we reached a maximum of 251,604.
To be positive the numbers are stagnant or have reached the plateau and are slightly declining. Strangely enough, every Bethelite felt the need to say that God is blessing in Italy because there is great growth, but no one anymore believes what they say from the podium and the data speaks clearly.

On May 4-11, 2024 we had Brother Warren Shewfelt visit the Italian Branch. On May 11th a meeting was held for all the kingdom halls in Italy. Brother Shewfelt is also Canadian like brothers Boscaino and Cicciù who are at the head of the Italian branch after the scandals of the 2000s, in which many Bethelites had to leave Bethel and the governing body took matters into their own hands.
Pompous meeting in which it was repeated that Jehovah blesses, but in reality the numbers are decreasing throughout Italy

Assembly with the branch representative
by LaFrancia inwe had the meeting with the branch representative this weekend.. the air was different than usual.. bearded ushers at the parking lots welcomed the brothers warmly.. lots of sisters with dress pants or not, nothing scandalous.. the representative of the italian branch made his debut on stage with his full beard.. location: roseto degli abruzzi (italy-europe).
some interesting statistical data can give a little food for thought after the numerous changes that have occurred in recent months (the ten-year or five-year plan, if you prefer, seems to be producing some small results).. attendance has increased since the last meeting.. our constituency includes 1725 publishers and those present in the morning were 1553, a little better than the november 2023 convention.
perhaps the new changes have brought some back to attendance?.

Hello wannaexit.
yes, sorry for the Google translation. I wanted to say, in recent years, more and more children aged 14,13,12 have been baptised.

We still haven't managed to reach the pre-covid numbers, some empty seats in the auditorium could also be seen from the podium.
The collapse of the baptized continues, in the past they were between 5-8 in these assemblies, but it is recovering. 4 baptized in total, including 2 teenagers and 2 adults. The new fashion of baptizing minors is confirmed.
The representative of the Branch was Brother Spina a bearded JW.
