As everyone knows I’m bad at maths please tell me: how many weeks is it after the previous update? I mean, is it the usual time or a tad earlier?

 

plain maths only

As mentioned above,

the Update #5 was August 22 (Friday).  The updates are usually around 6 weeks between videos. If it is presented on this coming Friday, September 26, it will be 5 weeks since the last one.  That is one week early compared with the average.

 

But the following weekend is the Annual Meeting and it would be less likely to present the update on Friday and have the AM on Saturday of the same week.

So if the GB #6 is on its way, it appears it would be a trilogy: October Broadcasting with a GB update #6 an the AGM on October 4.

And the 3rd one is even broken up into two parts to draw out the suspense.

Since English speaking Bethels can connect to AM, I have a suggestion to create one new link with livestream just for JW Talk. Just saying

Honestly, I’ve given up trying to track when updates come out. 😂😂 They’re just too unpredictable since they’re posted whenever needed.

 

One thing I’ve noticed is that GB no longer sticks to a certain date pattern for releases. Before, it seemed like big announcements were always made during AM or conventions, and everything was scheduled. But now, they announce things through GBU, AM, or other methods, and the release times are all over the place. They’ve become more flexible, releasing and announcing updates at the right time instead of sticking to a fixed event date.

What’s with the bread @bvr, are we gonna dip that into a hot chocolate milk? Call @Dustparticle. He only prepared two gallons of chocolate milk for the Annual meeting, maybe he needs to add another one for you while watching the GB update #6 . 😅🤭

I would be surprise if it was up that early, I expect it in 7 or 8 hours minimum

I have only one question: is it going to be today or next week?

 

(as far as u remember there’s was a situation that there was a thumbnail on the servers but the actual update was next week)
