Appreciating someone still alive? How quaint. It’ll never catch on. 🙂

Watchtower May 2024 Who is being referred to as 'we'?
by Listener inthis is the magazine that presents some of the 'new light' from the oct. 2023 annual meeting.
it discusses some of the things they have now decided they don't know and revised some of the things they do know, or think they know.
when they start discussing some of the things they do know, most of them are still guesses and they use qualifiers.

I can’t give examples but I think they’ve always done that. Sometimes in the third person too, such as when they say that JWs recognised the identity of the great crowd in the 1930s. What they mean is that Rutherford/Franz formulated this new idea in the 1930s and JWs accepted it. Since JWs always accept what the Society, and now the Governing Body tell them to think, it is intelligible, even if presumptuous from our perspective, to speak interchangeably about the Governing Body and JWs in general “realising”, “coming to understand”, “recognising” and so on, new ideas.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

I can believe he was friendly with bethelites. In the leaked video where he was giving an informal talk at a desk he talked as if he liked the people he was talking to and they liked him. He’s said some pretty callous things (like appearing to relish deaths at Armageddon, blowing out a match, human hot-dogs, and so on) but he’s a troubled complicated person that made him relatable, or at least a more sympathetic character than the the other GB members.

I’ll give it a miss.
Croatians must be a polite lot put up with all that crap without throwing him out. And you guys are glutton for punishment tuning in to it.

Surely his sons know the story, and their wives, and possibly their family and friends.
Plus his wife’s family, and her friends.
Surely AMIII has some longtime friends he’s spoken to.
Plus helpers to the GB who sit in on the meetings.
Plus just office gossip around headquarters.
There’s gotta be a leak somewhere.

AMIII was never a picture of health and it’s possible that expulsion and isolation, combined with probable addiction issues, mean he’s on a downward spiral, with no malice intended with that observation. This could explain why he’s not been seen in public.

I’ve not heard anything about Hendiks, where is this?
Is someone keeping an archive of WT videos so we can know what’s been deleted and still have access to it?

I think the ability of institutions to keep secrets has been underestimated in our modern culture. Take the example of president Kennedy being killed by the CIA because he was about to disclose the government’s contact with alien species. 👽 Despite thousands of people involved in that cover up the truth is only beginning to come out now.

How do JWs know that less than 150,000 Christians existed before the 20th Century?
by Vanderhoven7 inaccording to watchtower, only anointed christians existed between the first and 20th centuries.
the great crowd of other sheep only began forming after the 20th century started.. how do they support this conclusion?

As I understand it, according to the current understanding, some of those Christians in the intervening centuries could have been “other sheep” Christians but not selected as anointed, maybe even a large percentage of them. In any case they get a resurrection and a chance to choose to serve God as most of those who have died do.
