2019 Annual Meeting of Jehovah's Witnesses

[Jack Ryan]

Location of Annual Meeting was Jersey City Assembly Hall, date October 5. A new complex will be built that will host 1000 workers for the Audio/video and art production. The architect from the Britain branch relocation project is being reassigned to Patterson where announcement will be made of a renewed Patterson with its own visitor center. Building of the new AV complex will be complete 2026, it will be as professional as any "worldly" complex and the size of the complex will be EXACTLY the same size as Warwick Bethel and it will be located in Ramapo, NY. Construction begins on 2022, a 4 year project.

Expanding buildings projects doesn’t mean that the end is delayed , those buildings will continue to be used after Armageddon

New release: Printed copy of New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—Study Edition, (Matthew-Acts only)

They’re producing the study Bible one book at a time. They currently only have Matthew through 1 Corinthians. And with the amount of footnotes and additional information and photos and illustrations, it would physically be too big if they included every bible book

--------------

A new Study Bible was released and will be available to congregations later next year as revised Spanish Bibles are still priority in production and shipping. Color is beige (light brown) with gold edging on pages. This edition is Matthew to Acts. Subheadings now in chapters. Wide margins for notes. Footnotes at bottom of pages. Full color appendixes, similar features to online study Bible. Alternate rendering for faithful and discreet slave now faithful and PRUDENT slave. It was announced near the end of the 2013 annual meeting that a complete study Bible may be printed eventually, but will take "a long time coming", 2013 being 6 years ago.

Jw.org will be released for Alexa and google home

I think they are gonna make their own Alexa that can listen to everything you do in your home to prevent you from sinning! "No conscience needed, we'll do all the work for you!"

Splane gave a talk about Joel chap 2 and new understanding of who are the locusts

[Jack Ryan]

They just informed the rest of the congregation that "the amount of money, going out this year, will be, greater, than the amount coming in" and they just wanted to "let us know that". No asking for handouts here!

Matt 28:19 will be the year text

One lie flipped for another. 

Can you tell me their "new" understanding?

With the renovation of Patterson and now the news of adding on to Warwick, it sure seems like they are obsessed about building a DisneyWorld type experience in the Borg. Get as many people to tour every single year because those visits could prove to be a good source of income from all the donations, not to mention all the donations during the years of construction in each congregation from members that want to help out or are guilt ed to give.

They could build a roller coaster that disorients the riders by running through pitch black tunnels then super bright tunnels and the ride could be called "New Light Coaster". They could have the "Not So Fun House" with mechanical versions of Lett. Then ice cream stands where you pay for an ice cream and get nothing, because the money went to the "worldwide work".

All the prizes are JW,org pins and tie clips and cufflinks.

RAMAPO – The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society announced plans to build an enormous audio-visual production center on land partly in Tuxedo but mostly in Ramapo.

Members of the nonprofit group, better known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses, plan to use the building to consolidate and expand various multi-media production offices, which they say make materials about living a principled life.

The new 1.5 million-square-foot facility would be almost as big as the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ 1.6-million-square-foot headquarters, located two miles away in the Town of Warwick. As in Warwick, roughly 1,000 volunteers would live and staff the Ramapo media production center.

Besides studio space, the complex would include offices, residences, underground parking, a fitness area and a visitor center for the public.

The 155 Sterling Mine Road property consists of 242 acres in Ramapo and seven acres in the Town of Tuxedo. The project is currently in the environmental review phase following a July application submission to the Town of Ramapo Planning Board.

Robert Zick, a Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesman, estimated it could take two years for the group to finish planning the project and up to another four to build the complex.
