Looks like the GB have finally woken up to the fact that their public discourses come back to haunt them
All those old talks giving false prophectic drivel.........So the GB want to ban the grass roots witnesses from hearing the lies that they tell them
Should Jehovah’sWitnesses
circulate recordings or transcriptsof
talks?
We are strengthened and encouraged
by Bible discourses. (Acts
15:32) Therefore, it is natural to
want to share such encouraging
information with those who were
not present. With the advent of
various recording devices, a talk
can be recorded and distributed
to others at a moment’s notice.
Some have maintained a collection
of recorded talks, including
talks that were given many years
ago, and with good motive they
lend these talks or reproduce them
for friends. Others have created
websites and placed talks there for
anyone to download.
Understandably, there is no objection
if we record talks for personal
use or for members of our
family. In addition, elders may
arrange for talks to be recorded for
infirm members of the congregation
who are unable to attend the
meetings. However, there are good
reasons for us not to circulate transcripts
or recordings of talks.
Because talks are often delivered
with local needs in mind,
we could easily misconstrue points
from a circulated recording, since
we would not be aware of the setting
in which the talk was given.
In addition, it would be difficult
for us to verify who gave
the talk and when, so that we can
have confidence that the information
presented is up to date and accurate.
(Luke 1:1-4) Further, circulating
transcripts or recordings of
talks might tempt some to give or
accept undue attention and honour.—
1 Cor. 3:5-7.
The faithful and discreet slave
works hard to provide spiritual
food in the right “measure” and
at “the proper time.” (Luke 12:
42) This includes the arrangement
for talks to be given at local congregations
of Jehovah’s Witnesses
and audio recordings that can
be downloaded from the official
jw.org website. We can be confident
that the faithful and discreet
slave and its Governing Body will
provide what we need in order to
be made firm in the faith.—Acts
16:4, 5.
Run GB run....but you can't hide from your past!!!
