Anony Mous, that's how they'll frame it, isn't it! They can't just have new light and tell the sisters that they are being rewarded for their perseverance and faithfulness by being given the opportunity to serve as the times get darker (falling membership). They can't announce anything without it being somewhere between an insult and a threat. So you're right, it'll be spun as something that was always available to the sisters and that it was their reluctance to step up for Jehovah that has caused this announcement to be made.
Beth Sarim, unless the financial situation with the CSA payouts is much more dire than we believe, the WT will be around in some form for some time to come. But it will never return to its glory days. I wonder how the current GB feel about watching it all slowly crumble away.
Diogenesister, it must take some serious thought manipulation to get to the point that such tasks are handed down by God himself!
TonusOH: "NotFormer: my cats [...] don't attend Kingdom Hall meetings

No, they'll probably be given "the privilege" of cleaning out the Kingdom Hall litter trays! 😱
