Yeah, it has been pointed to me that that is the cover in Spanish. Organized to Do Jehovah's Will. And this time they didn't even try to sound different - same color, same format (hardback).
It's indeed amusing that XJWs are ahead on the release of this new book.
This is off track, but can someone tell me what book JWs are now studying in their book studies? I want to register at a pro-Jehovah's Witness site, but I need to know the title to be admitted. Clue: it contains the initials C L. Thanks.

The book is called , "Draw close to Jehovah"
Ltter read (1 page) to congregation and then the book was released
My mother was all in a tizzy this afternoon because I knew what the release was before the meeting. She was upset about that. They also must've said/written something cracking the whip again about df'd family because today she just about showed me the door after ages of being just fine about seeing me.
She said that if they were going to cut her off from the congregation for seeing me, that she would have to cut me off instead, words to that effect. I knew this day would come. It just totally pisses me off because literally, just last night, she said to me that it wasn't her position to judge me, that she wasn't god. Well, apparently the GB is.
I think it's very sly, the new title. The book looks identical in color to the old OM book (i saw her copy from across the room today) but the title, Organized to Do Jehovah's Will is very tricky; see how they removed the whole issue of accomplishing the ministry? because when the ministry was accomplished, the end was going to come, right? But it hasn't, has it? And now they can milk the people for all their worth forever just calling it Jehovah's will.
Freaking mind controlling cult. I think today I watched it take the very last of my family that I had left away from me, and on a day when I showed up with food to feed my ill and frail mother, when none of my siblings especially the good christian witnesses, have called her for months. Months. Maybe even more than a year at this point.
Freaking cult.
I know that even though dubs are united each congregation can be different.
However, there was no special talk on Sunday for releasing the book (the special talk comes after the memorial). A short letter was read at the end of the WT study and the book was announced as being available at our literature counter for publishers (baptized and unbaptized) after the song and prayer. The short letter basically said that dubs recognize that there are thousands of organizations in the world but that only one has Jahs spirit and is following the bible accurately. The letter mentioned the simplification for announcements regarding df'd and da's but didn't get into any specifics at all about what that meant. The letter didn't address any detailed policy changes. If some of our relatives came away from the meeting with extra guilt or thoughts it may be that they just feel guilty and this new spiritual provision gave them the courage to state what they've been thinking for a little while already. Or it could be that some local elder bodies went past the directions for Brooklyn.

It's indeed amusing that XJWs are ahead on the release of this new book. You know that is funny ;-). I actually have an "Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry" in RED. Might be a Bethel edition or something. I wonder if the new one will also have a mysterious RED edition to match? FDS
