In the letter it says: "Effective immediately, zone overseers will be called "headquarters representatives.".
"Effective immediately". Like if a change of term is a big deal!!!

Any New Light(TM) for 2014?
by punkofnice ini know there has been some real nauseating rubbish in the publications recently.
the governing body(r) are god it would seem.. each year the wbt$ trots out some real hilarious nonsense to make the drones feel as if they have special knowledge.
like the 'toes are not significant(tm)' from a couple of years ago.. ....and......my all time fave 'overlapping generations(tm)'.

Lots of money that wouldn't be sent on to "Mother" if they're spending it at the local liquor store.
They can always use water and say that water=wine. That's it.
Anyhow, I have zero idea of what's coming in new as "new light" for 2014, but I think they will come up with something kinda big. Remember, this is the year for the International Conventions (TM). The GB will be there for the spotlight. Get your eyes ready for the "New Flashes of Light". Or not.

On a Scale of 1 to 10---How Devoted Were You To Being One of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus inas i grew up in the religion, i was a 10. i wanted to be made a "servant" because that was instilled in me from infancy.
i diligently studied ever piece of watchtower literature and defended my religion intensely.. when i got into my 30's, i started to see little cracks in the watchtower's surface but decided to "wait on jehovah".
then i started to research a little more critically and realized i couldn't defend the prophecies, the treatment of people and the hypocrisy that was becoming more obvious, that especially an elder can see.. it was a gradual thing---from a 10 to a zero!.

two overlapping generations of anointed blah blah blah question
by SnailsPace2 ini read the watchtower article on this "new light.
" has any information on how "this generation" turned into two overlapping generations of only anointed people been printed?
the word "evidence" was thrown around a lot in the article, but none was provided unless something has been printed since then and i have missed it.

BOE Letter: New Adjustments

Good point DOC. So, now is going to be:
One Circuit Assembly (1 day)
Another Circuit Assembly (1 day)*
One Regional Convetion (3 day)
*This "another Circuit Assembly" is in reality the Special Day Assembly. They just can't show the fact that they cut a day from the Circuit Assembly so simply.

**This was predicted from some members here**
TO ALL CONGREGATIONS
Re: Adjustments in organizational terminology and assembly arrangements
Dear Brothers:
We wish to inform you that the Governing Body has decided to implement the following adjustments in organizational terminology. Effective immediately, zone overseers will be called “headquarters representatives.” The visit of a headquarters representative to a branch will be called a “branch visit” rather than a zone visit. Additionally, although the terms “international convention” and “special convention” will continue to be used, district conventions will now be called “regional conventions.”
Furthermore, beginning with the 2015 service year, circuit assemblies will be one day in length. Two such assemblies will be held each service year. The term “special assembly day” will no longer be used to denote a one-day circuit assembly. The district overseer will continue to serve one circuit assembly each year for each circuit or section of a circuit. A branch repre-sentative will normally serve the other circuit assembly.
Thank you for noting these adjustments. We send our warm Christian love.
Your brothers,
CCJW.
PS to coordinator of the body of elders:
Please arrange for this letter to be read to the congregation at the first Service Meeting af-ter its receipt. Thereafter, it should be posted on the information board. If the circuit overseer is visiting your congregation, he will read this letter at the conclusion of his first service talk of the week. At circuit assemblies and special assembly days, the letter will be read by the last speaker on the program at the conclusion of his talk.
