Apognophos

Pasted below is an actual email recently forwarded to me from my dad, who is a long-time, well-known JW elder, which he received by a long-time, die-hard JW. According to this email, the new developments discussed in this thread are authenticated. I have removed the actual name and email address of the email’s original sender to preserve confidentiality (his and mine).
