  T. Jaracz taught them this "new idea".

  "This suggests that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today." Revelation - It's Grand Climax At Hand! (1988), page 12

  the new light (tm) is on jw.org.

  not had time to digest it but it's looking pretty much whathas been divulged already.

  looking forward to seeing the responses from the forum and the brothers and sisters now it's in the open.

  When David Splane in the video says:

  "What does all of this really mean?
  
  The great crowd and the anointed are all domstics. We are all domestics.
  
  And brothers, we love this teaching - we love this idea."

  Is he refering to himself and the other 6/7 of the GB as considering themselves to be domestics now as well?

  And perhaps, a future 'faithful and discreet slave' will have to be defined yet?

  Wow! Just awsome! The "other sheep" script writers - also going by the name 'nethinim' - are setting the FDS up to fail big time.

  Steven Lett is something else (Video @6:35).

  Guess what? When the program was over, the interviewees did not comment on this 'exciting new development' even once - it past by them silently. But then, hey, they were invited and in attendance - it was a great social happening!

  fresh out of the jw.org website http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/world/jehovahs-witnesses-office-consolidation/ .

  the society as from september 2012 is closing 20 branches worldwide .the best bit is the last paragraph :.

  workers are available to spend more time preachingbecause of the mergers, qualified ministers who had been serving in small branches can now concentrate on preaching the good news.. a witness in africa, who was reassigned to the preaching activity, wrote: "adjusting my lifestyle to suit the new circumstances was a challenge during the first few months.

  Then, by WT definition, they won't be part of the 'great crowd' any longer.

  so i moved to another hall to better help me fade.

  so far it's been great although it is a very long and annoying process!

  so i'm very good friends with the coordinating elder in the new hall since we've known each other for years and so instead of mailing them to the other hall he decided to pass them on to my dad so he could give them to me and for me to give them to the other hall.

  Last rumor I heard was the paper used these days resists burning.

  Sometimes it even sounds like a screeching owl when going up in flames.

  Many JWs seem to have gotten the message that the 'old world' will be with them for a while yet. They are gearing up to prepare for a financially secure future, missing out on boring and repetitive meetings.
