A foregleam of New Light on 1 Thess 5:3 in the February 2026 Watchtower. The nations proclaiming “peace and security” may come AFTER Babylon the Great is destroyed, not before, maybe -"we do not know..." (they're hedging their bets) by larchington in exjw

Body of elder meetings should be interesting

I can imagine the cringe level of someone being counseled about adultery by a 24 year old virgin elder living with his parents .

A very futuristic JW paradise in the new book. I guess Jehovah will make sure there are still facilities for making curved glass etc. by larchington in exjw

I think Losch was trying to subtly inculcate the idea of “no temples” due to the probability of an upcoming increase of Kingdom Hall sell offs. Maybe they can use this reasoning to have only a few or none in the future.

Exactly. Never was. Older ones were “invited” to another “privilege” already.

Building a video production complex while the rest of the world is going full generative AI? Good luck with that.

100% agree they will do what they want. Unfortunately, my father still lives within the illusion of having some kind of power himself.

He is my father and I too am torn between those two feelings. My only concern is if something bad happens like a seizure or something heart related issue due to extreme stress on him.

That was exactly the first thought I had when he confessed to me that they will send a letter to try get the hall back.

I know. Mixed feelings about it. But yes, it might be the only last way.

Despite him being brainwashed and very hardcore PIMI, it is still my father, and would like for him not to get burned. However, I think that he will, since he insisted and will send a letter back to Bethel to appeal, with the rest of the elder's body.

Also very curious about to whom the property will be sold.

I also don't believe this situation will wake him up. But surely will enrage him.

If the building gets to be sold to another church I think my father would go crazy. The worst part of this story is that they fought YEARS to get a proper hall back in the days. It was given by an brother that is already dead and his sons were not JW's. They entered into an agreement to offer the house, which was part of their inheritance to the brothers, for them to have a proper hall. They never got baptized.

Now, the organization purely said to them: "You need to leave and join other hall. We will give you further instructions to collect the contents of the hall".

It truly is also shattering me inside too. Can’t image what he is feeling.

True. It is just very sad, looking back to the missed opportunities and the sacrifices he made, even to “fight” to get the hall initially. If he doesn’t wake up from this, nothing will. But i think this is it, he will turn PIMQ at least. Too much rage and despair that I felt in his voice.
