I actually recall a brother saying, "new light comes to us in English." Now, however, with the translation department and the godsend that is MEPS, everyone is up to speed.
You have no idea... If you take a look at the dates you will realize that the translation is not made simultaneously:
Excellent point, I think that we were focusing more in the US than worldwide.
Still a valid item.
Hi Hecce!
What is your nickname in extj.com?
Thanks for your interest.
In reality for personal reasons I don't want to disclose my EXTJ id.
Gracias

"Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock"
Overseers are not to police the lives of the brothers,
nor are they obligated to become acquainted with
all the details of civil and criminal law so as to
enforce these.
Just as they do not check to see if
someone's home meets every detail of the building
code, they do not investigate in order to determine
whether a person has satisfied every detail as to his
legal situation in the country before allowing him
to get baptized or to continue in the congregation.
Baptism would not be denied such a person, but he
would not be viewed as exemplary and would not be
used in any responsible position in the congregation
The same would apply to a person who uses fraudulent
or illegal identification.
This is a portion el the old Elder’s Book, the new one states basically the same. As you can see the illegal status of a person is not bad enough to be denied baptism, but it is bad enough for privileges in the Congregation. The person coming in will discover that after his baptism.
????????
Hecce you got a pm !!
This is a quote from the Golden Age repeated several times here:
1927 -"Spaniards .. and other backward races [came to settle in America under the influence of Rome]" {G AGE Nov 30 1927 141}
I have seen some money squables between the english and spanish with regards to the KH.
Not so much in the monthly contributions but in the heavy donations needed for special projects. The english expects the spanish to go equal shares and this is just impossible.
Has created plenty of bad feelings.
Marked. Great comment village girl.
What YY2 and others have said: " Villagegirl, WOW!! Impressive prose and absolutely spot on."
