The September "Workbook" also hits on this same topic with a review of Last years convention shunning videos.
Starting the Service Year off with a heavy dose of shunning reenforcement. Are they expecting bad numbers in the annual report or Drama at the Annual meeting??
client intake—csa questionnaire.
general legal advice and direction.
hi wifi.. i don't believe these have been seen before.. one is a general guideline given to elders who report a child safety issue in the congregation, and the second is the form they have to return to the legal department.. they are both recent forms.. the questionnaire has an interesting question at a.6 stating if the legal dept has advised to contact the authorities yes or no.

Anon in Japan says:
I served in the third circuit of shikoku Japan. A few years ago, a well-known theocratic family disassociated. They all disassociated as a whole family. this family often had a part in assemblies, everybody knows this family very well. Everybody shocked to hear the news.
Then Society sent a couple of Special pioneers there. They dealt with various assignment and many people in the circuit appreciated their work. But,, later they also disassociated, and left the org. Then, Large theocratic family including grandparents, parents,and siblings in kagawa Prefecture all disassociated and the whole circuit shocked to hear the news. Then other elders followed suit and many people left the organization. Many responsible JWs are gone, and Shikoku become a place where the need is great.
Many brothers were sent to shikoku area .to make circuit spiritually strong again. But the problem is those newly sent brothers looked down on R&F members because they were deemed spiritually week and inferior. many R&F members were discouraged and became inactive. Me and my family left the org. so many old-timers are faded or disassociated, and it had a huge impact on the circuit. Finally society made a last-ditch effort and sent Michael Linton to shonai congregation.

Michael Linton is a son of James Linton, who serves in the branch committee of Japan. My friend who owns real estate left the org because an elder of the congregation forced him to sell the property and donate the money to WWW Society is working very hard to stop people from leaving, but all their efforts are going down the drain.
will you be a survivor of the last days?.

the ones i cannot find and their dates (important!
) are:1882 outlines of sermons.
1892 the tabernacle shadows of the “better sacrifices” (issued as a tract).
1882 - Outlines of Sermons: The Tabernacle and Its Teachings (supplement to w1882 1/1–2/1)
this is very topical so i thought i'd share a compilation document of 10 audio clips.. these are mostly from before 1975, taken from convention recordings at the time, stressing the importance of 1975 and getting the crowd excited in anticipation.. entire talks are embedded but it's been typed out what was said and the time point it occurs.. this document is 220mb, so be warned.. i hope you're not triggered by the drawn out assembly speech style because this is full of it.. if anyone ever tries to tell you that there was no mention of 1975, hopefully this will give you some evidence.. if anyone with the ability could turn this into a short, shareable video, that would be much more useable and shareable than this (no disrespect to the creator).. click here for the recordings.
it will be gone in one month..
Here is a backup copy of this ZIP file.
I have extracted most of the mp3's. Files 3,8 & 10 didn't work for me.
If anyone has more info on these files, or knows where I can get more of this type of stuff, I'll gladly maintain an archive of this. I wasn't around in those days, but am committed to preserving this history. They will NOT whitewash 1975.

as at least some of you know, i am coauthor of two history books about zion's watch tower's earliest years.
we are at a dead end with one of the watch tower's earliest evangelists, s. d. rogers.
we do not know his first name or have any biography outside of a scattering of newspaper articles and mentions in zwt.
I have done my best, but came up with nothing other than what you already have on your blog.
Perhaps sources in places he had been (Michigan, Toronto, England) would have more information.
