we all know the society would love to get rid of all the problems caused by clinging to 1914 and all they claimed it meant for the last 100+ years.. it looks like they are laying the groundwork for easing away from the whole concept of 1914. this would also let them do away with the ridiculous "overlapping generation" bullcrap.

what a diaper load that has been.... anyway, the following is from their super secret marching orders for april, 2019. draw your own conclusions.... "3.

“100 years of faithfulness”: the coordinator of the body of elders, or another elder, should be invited to read the following special announcement.

Well it’s come to something when April fools announcements make more sense than real Faithful Slave announcements,

If they were going to drop 1914 then they’d probably go about it somewhat like this.

a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

jdubs have alittle over 36%.

Probably true that JW retention is comparatively low, but as is often pointed out it’s a shame Pew sample for JWs is quite low (less than 200 I think) to be sure about the exact percentages.

The Incredible Shrinking Watchtower -- What's Up?

by Room 215 in

what's up with this?

it seems that with the january study magazine it's been trimmed by by four pages.

have any of you commented on this?.

slimboyfat

Just when you think cutbacks have reached their limit, they keep cutting back.

Hang on, it seems they’ve moved the contents page to the back of the magazine, that’s all. Still 32 pages. Or what do you mean?

My mom

mom died yesterday.

I am so sorry Annie you have lost your mum at such a young age. That was younger even than I imagined. I don’t know if Watchtower history interests you at all. But even if it doesn’t it’s good to know your mum’s work is appreciated and made an impact. In particular a recent book by historian Zoe Knox acknowledged the contribution to the subject. I know many who will be hopeful about the next volume being published.

This is awful news. I knew your mum was unwell, but not very old. This is a complete shock. I am so sorry for your loss Annie.
