This just in from the 2017 Annual Meeting: 1. Watchtowers and Awakes won't be released regularly, at least three Watchtower and Awakes per year. 6 magazines a year. 2. A new book is being re

Exactly. It was asked that nothing be posted on the internet not even notes. I think it is important to be obedient to the governing body.

What I caught was not to tell what happened until others get a chance to see it tomorrow

Let's go back exactly 100 years ago to the Annual Meeting on January 6, 1917 (not celebrated in October back then). This took place during a convention at Carnegie Hall in Pittsburgh, just a little over 2 months after brother C. T. Russell died, and brother J. F. Rutherford was elected by vast majority at this Annual Meeting to be the new President.The following year on January 5, 1918 the Annual Meeting took place once again at Carnegie Hall and Rutherford was re-elected as President. But the following year on January 4, 1919 the Annual Meeting was celebrated at the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum which still stands today in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh (seen above). During this Annual Meeting in 1919, Rutherford & 7 other Directors of the Society were in prison because of all the horrible events of 1918, but Rutherford was still once again re-elected as President. The 8 brothers were released from prison later on in 1919, and on January 3, 1920 they were all back to Carnegie Hall for the Annual Meeting. Nowadays, the business part of the Annual Meeting, that includes the election or re-election of officers, is carried out separately from the much more enjoyable part prepared for us.

... and then there is Russia ....

The Human Rights Council (HRC) had talked with Putin as of October 30, 2017. This is not only the fate of the Jehovah's Witnesses, but a plethora of others who were hit by the Kremlin and co.

The Russians really want to "clean house" for March 2018.

In a sense, Russian vs. Kremlin as a whole, it comes down to freedoms, something the Kremlin has a hard time giving to the people.

My only concern is for the ceasing of the FSB website, along with the software they use, seeing how it is I can understand Edward Snowden's remark about it.

As we speak, the Russians who are against the Kremlin worry about a Soviet-Like dark age while yet another Kremlin Critic escaped death with due to a lethal attack, which may lead to Journalist being armed and ready to rock (unless Putin does something).

Can someone confirm whether our understanding on the term "vindication of Jehovah's name" has been brought back?

I thought that sometime after 1984, but well before 2010, we dropped the idea in favour of "sanctification of Jehovah's name". But now, it seems we are returning back to it, as "name" can also refer to one's reputation, and Jehovah's 'reputation' certainly needs exonerating.

Thanks

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
