What Blondie said.
I actually think that they've chosen this controlled release on purpose. Think about it!
They've been directing people to go to the jw.org website for a while now. Those that have gone found out about the "New Light" before those that haven't. That's powerful. As humans, we all want to be "in the know." I know I do!
Those that have been lazy about regularly checking the website will feel left out as the news gradually gets disseminated by word of mouth. This is more of that powerful stuff. Due to the way JWs handle change, especially concerning their own doctrines, they will tend to doubt it when they first hear someone mention it. But then when they go on-line to confirm it for themselves it will also reinforce in their Pavlovian trained minds the importance of going to jw.org regularly and often.
When the "New Light" is announced at the DC, the speaker will no doubt say something along the lines of, "But those of you that have been regularly going to our jw.org website as instructed by 'the Faithful Slave' already know this!" And of course that will swell the heads of those that are already in the know and embarrass those that weren't. No one wants to be left out.
All of this effectively reinforces obedience and group think while simultaneously squashing any critical thinking skills or an independent mind.
Interestingly, the actual beliefs are unimportant. What matters is blind, unquestioning obedience to the leadership. It's all about manipulation and control.
In a way, it's genius. Evil and twisted, but genius nevertheless.

OODAD- It is also fascinating the way you deduced that; Dare I say "evil and twisted, but genius nevertheless"!!!

Why thank you Rip!
Holy Spirit let me in on it ....
BTW, it's 00DAD, not OODAD. They're numbers not letters.

New light will be around giving more money to the WT organization. Maybe some demonstrations about giving your valuables over to the FDS so they can put it to good use in the kings(jesus) intrest, like good old faithful slaves.
Maybe read a few letters from those they gave thier house over to the faithful slave in thier will.

I am thinking along the lines of OOHDad ! sorry 00DAD, I think this Noo Lite about the FDS will only feature in a small way.
What will be majored on is the dangers of not carefully going to JW.org and getting accidently on to some terrible site such as this that may tell the JW's the Real Truth.

Prayers are now to be forwarded to the GB members in their name, who are now recognized as the Faithful and Discreet Slave.

The 'new light'(TM) will be that paedophilia is actively to be encouraged.
or maybe.....
They'll give a date and time when 'all true christians'(TM) must commit suicide after bequeathing all their worldly goods to the Governing Body(R)
or maybe.....
FD$ have joined forces with the Pope to bring you 'Jahovalics'(TM) it's like Horlicks except instead of helping you to sleep it kills you.
