I bet it is the Governing body no longer have to be "annointed"
not faith testing. this was tested back in the 90's with the Nephunim analogy. It just fizzled away without any real conversation
barb anderson has a discussion on this I believe, apparently the writing dept got quite a tongue lashing over that one

i suppose a symbolic 144k would be a big change too....

I posted elsewhere that I suspect the reason behind the the recent 1914 revival is not to embed it, but to prepare the R&F for a change.
If they don't understand it now, they will be more confused with a change. If they can be comfortable with the "math" now, the change can be slighly introduced in a way that doesn't shock their system so to speak. it will just be a minor change to one variable but that will change the whole thing... kind of like 606 to 607 & no zero year changes but this time its enough to knock out 1914, at least as a starting point for all last days prophecies or to align the 587BCE destruction of Jerusalem into the JW eschatologyperhaps the 7 times really are just 7 years? perhaps the 3.5 times will be disconnected from Daniel? these are big shake ups to the old school JW for sure

I think a huge change in literature, e.g. combining the WT and Asleep! into a JW.org magazine would be significant. . .
this has been my speculation. A complete rebranding of the WTS. Watchower only existing as the study edition so they can say its been continuous since 1874 or whatever. Other than that, JW(.org) Magazine. The WTS will be renamed with JW something or other
but I don't see this being "faith testing". The mags have been revamped as if to prepare for this change already without a blink and the R&F are eating up the JW.org bit.
lets think about it, we have all discussed ad nauseum what the BOrg could do to cause a mass exodus and we can't really come up with anything short of major criminal charges
the only doctrinal changes that could really test the faith of the R&F is a major shift in the 1914 teaching (perhaps tied with a 607 change).
they would never make a big pomp about blood with a zone visit, they would phase this in over decades. Anything other big change wouldn't be that big. What else could they change that hasn't been already?

MY CONCLUSION IS: 'GOD' DOESN'T EXIST

period!!!
if there was a loving, righteous, all-knowing, all powerful god up there somewhere, where is he and what good is he???

Life at an atomic level is far too complex to have just happened by chance.
*** more complex than an omnipotent God with no beginning?
Evolution is a giant roulette table in the sky with a trillion or more to 1 chance of happening.
*** this argument always makes me laugh. Forget what the odds of an ominpotent god existing out of nothing is, but a trillion to 1 might as well be a 100% chance of happening when you have unlimited time. Of course a trillion to 1 is your figure, I'd say more like 14.5 Billion : 1, which of course as we all know did in fact happen just as the statistic predicts.

excellent pic, that is truth
for those that claim atheism creates more questions than it answers please answer the question how God came into existence BEFORE you presuppose your argument that God existing is an easily accepted fact
if your answer to that question is "we don't know" or has anything to do with faith then your argument is at best no better than atheism and at worst complete garbage

the universe owes us nothing
we exist for no reason or purpose.
the fact we exist is mere coincidence, so live in the now and be happy. In 100 years all of us will be dust for eternity

Throw Out Your Blood Cards!
by Coded Logic inex-jehovah's witness bled to death after surgery .
in 2006, riddell signed a declaration that she did not want to be given blood during any medical procedure because of her jehovah's witness beliefs, even if healthcare providers believed that it was necessary to preserve her life.. she later stopped practising the religion but her brother told hill she maintained the declaration because she had researched the use of blood transfusions and made an informed decision not to receive any blood.. riddell opted for the surgery after being diagnosed with symptomatic gallstones, hill said.. parry met with riddell before the surgery but did not discuss receiving blood with her as he told hill the chances of someone bleeding during the surgery were less than one per cent.. that meant the surgery began at wairau hospital at 9am without parry knowing about the declaration, although his anaesthetist did.. it was originally supposed to be a keyhole only surgery, but parry made the decision to go to an open surgery as he could not access the gall bladder through the keyhole technique.. during the surgery there was a small amount of bleeding, which parry was unconcerned about.. the surgery finished at 11.15am and parry went away to perform another surgery.
during that time, riddell's blood pressure dropped and fluids increased.. the anaesthetist visited parry during his surgery and told him "we have a problem, she's bleeding.

if you work on a KH build site you have to check off that you have a medical directive when you sign in
