  Title	Basic Pioneer
  Message	Ok, did you make up that Basic Pioneer thing? There is no confirmation on it. Let's be for real now

  "Highlights:

  Yeartext for 2015 – Psalm 106:1

  New song book with 15 more songs <<< link to leaked songs >>>

  Pocket version of Revised New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (see photo below)

  Doctrinal changes to interpretation of “Gog of Magog” to governments today and not “nations” after Armageddon

  New class of pioneers to be introduced (10 hours per month)

  Starting January 2015 a new part on the service meeting entitled “How Do You Know The Truth” will replace local needs, in which approved members of the congregation will be invited to share their experiences

  TV network-style news service called “JW Broadcasting” is to be introduced via tv.jw.org which will feature on demand news videos and regular talks from members of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses"

  Chris Tann, are you happy now?

  If this 10 per month thing is true I wonder what's up with that? Has it become that so few are turning in hours of 10 or more that they have to reduce the requirements for pioneers??

  Even if that is successful, it is self limiting. You can find maybe 4 or 5 interesting experiences. What are you going to do after that?

  They'll just start making shit up like they always do!

  • So Andre, how did YOU come into the Truth?

  Didn't it used to take 100 hours a month to be considered a pioneer?

  Now it's down to 10?

  Wouldn't you think the hours for pioneering would be increasing as the end gets ever closer?

  Hi Ding good morning.

  Wouldn't you think the hours for pioneering would be increasing as the end gets ever closer?

  It seems ironical for the GB to be sticking to the same end of age warning messages yet they encourage lesser and lesser hours to pioneer - from 120 to 90 to 70 to 50 to 30 then to 10 now.

  Analogy: If a ship is very close to sinking, as life-savers, would you take less time in warning passengers to jump off the ship and transfer to the rescue boats? Would the Captain of the ship encourage less effort and time among his men who are suppose to remain aggressive until the last passenger is saved?

  Haven't the faithful slave of the 1960's, 70's, 80's and 90's figured this thing out by the guidance of the holy spirit? After 100 years from 1914, it would seem the new GB is steering a different direction. JW community should see through all these subte messages and unspoken word and use discernment.

  Where are you Absalom? Can you elaborate and or comment on whether this 'new 10 hour Pioneer' category is legit or not?

  Lie?

  With most of the group born in, that's going to make for a pretty boring part.

  Edited to add that I should have read the previous pages first.
