There was new light in the form of a letter! You have to start the one video while the other one is halfway done! It makes so much sense! Esp after they show you the chart.

“Are You Using JW Library?”: (15 min.) Begin with a
five-minute discussion of the article. Then play and
briefly discuss the video Start Using “JW Library.”
Afterward, do the same with the videos Download
and Manage Publications and Customize the Reading
Experience. Encourage all who can to install
the JW Library app and download publications to
their mobile device before the part “Ways to Use
JW Library” is discussed during the week of May 16."
It's a 15 minute part. The 1st 5 minutes are said to be a discussion before the video. It says to "then play" the video after those 5 minutes. It also mentions to briefly discuss after each video. You also have a ending comment to give.Well the videos equal 12 Minutes and 3 seconds if played one right after the other with zero time in between. The 5 minute introduction alone brings you to 17 Minutes and 3 seconds. If you are supposed to discuss after each video that is easily 45 seconds a video with only 1 comment. The concluding remarks they want you to give are about 30 seconds give or take.
This part is not possible in the time they allow. Did they send home all the Bethelites that can do math?

History of DF - Question
by thedepressedsoul infrom reading crisis of a conscience and members here, i have gathered that df was originally a means to cleanse bethel and stop apostates from spreading their own thinking inside the organization.
.
when did it also branch over to sinners that were struggling with an issue that relapsed on multiple occasions?

Poopie, I get that and thank you for the explanation. From what I understand that was mainly put in place to stop members from spreading their own ideas and thinking. It seemed like shunning/df was mainly to stop apostates.
What made them also use shunning/df for fornication etc... Was it at the same time or did that branch over to "sins" at a later time?

Child Abuse In This Weeks Meeting Part
by thedepressedsoul ini was sitting at the meeting this week and the "apply yourself to the field ministry" part started.
it was the first part under, "the initial call".
they read from the "good news" brochure and ask a question on it.

Either someone on the inside gets a good laugh or maybe someone on the inside is trying to wake people up?
It's ironic that out of the 100's of paragraphs in that brochure, they pick the one that touches on child abuse?
Maybe they slid this in there to convince the R&F that it's only other religions with this problem and not JW's?

I was sitting at the meeting this week and the "Apply Yourself to the Field Ministry" part started. It was the first part under, "The Initial Call". They read from the "Good News" brochure and ask a question on it. At the bottom of the paragraph (that was read out loud) is this little nugget:
"According to news reports, some religions are even involved in terrorism, genocide, war and child abuse. How this saddens sincere believers in God! - Read Matthew 24:3-5, 11, 12."
I stopped for a second as my mind went from numbness, to anger. The first thought that ran through my mind was, aren't the news reports on child abuse viewed as apostate driven lies? If I understand them correctly, when it's other man made religions, it's accurate. However, when the news reports are unfavorable in talking about their huge child abuse issue, its apostate driven lies?
Should JW's who feel they are "sincere believers in God!" be saddened by the WT's big child abuse issue? The hypocrisy, double standards and contradictions in this one sentence alone are huge!
Sorry WT but you can no longer play the card of being the only religion without child abuse.

Ah, Armageddon. The thing JW's fall back when they can't prove a point.
When you get them into a corner when they can no longer prove a belief or teaching, they often fall back on you die-ing in Armageddon for not having faith.
But don't worry, they're not a doomsday cult. They say so on their jw.org site!

So... Are they done printing the number of partakers?
by thedepressedsoul induring the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.
more of a, wtf, face.
one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

I foresee them not counting in the future.
Exactly. It's a two serving purpose. It does away with the issue of everyone raising an eyebrow as the numbers go up and I think ultimately it will allow them to keep the number literal as only the people at the very top will know what the actual number is.
