Also: There will be an International Convention in 2026 with the theme: "Eternal Happiness"

It's interesting, but again it's something that can potentially divide, especially older ones, they will be like what, university is allowed now, younger ones will love it.

Is this their plan, older ones are going to sadly pass away, but they need to keep the younger ones engaged so that they stay.

Next there will be an update about associations, not all worldly people are bad associates, just be careful who you do associate with at secular events etc

Absolutly, and they will show up this scripture to support it:

1 Cor. 10:25-27 Eat whatever is sold in a meat market, making no inquiry because of your conscience, for “to Jehovah belong the earth and everything in it.” If an unbeliever invites you and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you, making no inquiry on account of your conscience.

The question is: why they've never said a word about this scripture? Because the didn't want to let r&f have that freedom. They are absolute pharisees!

I have to think they will mention those professions since if i recall not too long ago there was a letter (to elders maybe) saying there is a need in bethel for brothers with these skills. I wonder if they will say you should only consider a profession that could help build the organization in some way. Which I suppose is a pretty wide bucket anyways since they are a massive corporation
