i have this memory of a gb member once saying that there would be a lot of bodies to be buried after armageddon.. does anyone else remember who said it?.
it was probably in the last decade or so.
ive been trying to find the video i’m sure it was on lloyd evens and all the other similar channels when it was said.. i can’t remember which gb member said it.
Many, many years ago, an elder told me that after Armageddon he would be one of those putting the markers by the bones. Quite a nice job, drive around in some sporty car with a boot full of markers, have a long leisurely pub lunch and do a few more in the afternoon.
As for me, a waster who turned in a fraction of the hours that he did, would be on burial duty. I would have to walk from marker to marker and take a packed lunch with me.
He had great imagination!

Anthony Morris III. It was a GB video, as I recall he was rather graphic in his descriptions. Hot dogs? Did he not suggest Jehovah may use "anti-matter" to clear up the mess?
The announcement of his departure was 22 February 2023 so it would be before this date.

hour quotas timeline.
back in the old days long before 1952.
“after staying in our ‘home’ for two days we decided that if we were going to meet our quota of 140 hours for the month.
I may be old but I don't go back to 1943!
My memories are from the 1950's and 60's. At that time, Special Pioneers were expected to do 150 hours, Regular and Vacation Pioneers 100 hours and Publishers 12 hours.
It should be remembered that all magazines and literature was paid for at this time. There were three rates for a magazine, 3d for a Publisher, 1d for a Pioneer and 1/2d for a Special Pioneer. The Public paid 4d so there was a small "shoe leather" profit.
Accounting was a nightmare. There was a magazine sheet for each of the three rates. At the end of the month the Accounts Servant would pay the Society 3d for every magazine they had received but would claim "credit" for every magazine supplied to Pioneers and Special Pioneers. Congregations could receive +/- 10 magazines difference to the order number without contacting the Society.
The literature department was run exactly the same. Don't forget here in the UK we were on £sd, pre decimal and calculators had not been invented. The best we had was a "Ready Reckoner", a book of tables of prices.
As Special Pioneers did not have secular work but received an allowance from the Society they were soon in trouble if they failed to meet their goals!

breaking news....there is hope for good hearted non-jws!!!.
according to sergio:.
are jehovah's witnesses the only ones to be saved during the end time?.
just supposing armageddon is just a load of nonsense ?
I don't think Armageddon will ever come but if it did, my greatest worry is that I may just survive. Just imagine living forever with only JW's on earth. That's not paradise, that's hell on earth!

but was almighty god stupid?.

I think the OP is thinking of the way WT pushed radium as a beneficial health product, back in JFR's days. One quote I found:-
As we know Radium is an extremely harmful radioactive substance. The “Radio-Solar Pad” was basically a pad containing radioactive radium which you simply strapped to your back. Its makers claimed
"radio-activity is further increased by exposing the pad to sunlight" and "when applied to the body, the pad immediately begins to discharge this energy into the system, sending the life giving current through the blood and nervous system."
As this was endorsed by the President of the Watchtower, Judge Rutherford, it can only be assumed that he would have received some kind of personal payment.
How many Jehovah Witnesses got cancer after wearing this device? Please see Blood Guilt
JFR was prone to jump on all manner of quack science and write about it. The "Water Canopy" is another example, from Isaac Newton Vale, another quack.

it’s now official - the governing body members are called for legal deposition in a major court case against jehovah’s witnesses!
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1ke6cgh/its_now_official_the_governing_body_members_are/.
recent court documents show that members of the jehovah’s witnesses governing body — including former member tony morris — have been officially subpoenaed to give sworn testimony regarding cases of sexual abuse in new york and how the organization dealt with (or essentially hid) them.
I doubt the GB will end up in prison. Any possibility of that and they would move en masse to Buenos Aries and rule from there. I'm sure preparations and funds have been in place ever since they had the new Bethel built there.

how many of you here remember 1975?
i hope the newer generations never forget.the true believers got shamed for it.
those who were hedging their bets, fared much better.
This is a great thread. The majority of our congregation were not even born in 1975!
I well remember 1st January 1976, my wife and I had a walk around the garden after breakfast, not sure what we were expecting but of course nothing had changed. We did what what always did on a Bank Holiday, drove to the KH and went on FS. Nobody was interested then as always and ever since. We should have walked on that day!

has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.
does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?
at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..
Yes it is being dumbed down like everything else WT connected.
My page marker is for 2016 Bible reading schedule. It shows:-
So it just shows though I suspect they will say you can now dig deeper

hello: i'm currently not yet a jehovah's witness but i'm seeking a friend to help me to better understand their doctrine.
thank you.
david.
I was a "born-in", mid 1940's. If you're not a troll then my simple advice based on all those years would be :
RUN LIKE HELL!
