I was speaking to a family member who is still a JW in very good standing and she told me that last week she was told by an elder of very good repute in my old congregation this:-
He has been told that any of the current governing body when they die WILL NOT BE REPLACED!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot even begin to take this in!
Is this perhaps the beginning of the wts starting to wind down it's high control status and become like a mainstream Christian outfit?
Or conversely is it the latest ploy to make the R'n'F believe that the end is indeed near!!!
They have no more dates set for the near future for the end of the system so do they figure that if they say the GB are the last in line before the big "A" then all the JW's will be energised?
What do you guys think?
