2018 JW Annual Meeting Announcements (New Light, Updates and New Provisions)

The 2018 Annual Meeting of Jehovah’s Witnesses is over. It was held on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at the World Headquarters at Warwick, New York. But even before this, we posted some of the things we expect as well as speculations.

Below is a highlight of what is discussed. It contains new light, improvement of meetings, new publications and some organizational updates.

* The yeartext for 2019 will be taken from Isaiah 41:10. It states, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.’” It is not yet revealed which portion of this scripture will be used. Do you think it will be “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God.”?

*”Russia and its allies” is the “king of the north” (Daniel 11:40)

*All missionaries that have been in the field for more than 5 years will have the privilege to attend the School for Kingdom Evangelizers or SKE.
