If you're having problems with the above PDF file or don't want to download it, you can read a scan of page 1 at: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/84383/1405082/post.ashx#1405082
They take a whole page to say what they could have said in about 2 sentences.
That's called damage control.

also in the march km apart from the big front page article about awake being monthly - is a rebuke to pos to distribute kms as soon as they arrive.
i am glad about this - far too many pos are control freaks and distribute kms at last possible minute - it is almost as if they are saying - i am better than you because i get my km about 3 weeks before you do.
anyway we got our march kms last night and they were distributed immediately

Not mind, I've just seen the other thread about the March KM.
Congregations should release the
latest issues of The Walchtower and
Awake! as soon as they are received.
That will allow publishers to become
familiar with the contents before
offering the magazines in field
service. Our Kingdom Ministry also
should be released to the publishers
as soon as it arrives. It may be
distributed through the Congregation
Book Study arrangement.
Great for us. We'll get inside info sooner.

I'm sure more people have called about the UN deal than about the songs. How come there wasn't an announcement about the UN?
Very good point!!
stilla,
is a rebuke to POs to distribute KMs as soon as they arrive
Are they referring to this specific KM issue or is it a new directive from now on?

what a noble theme to the instruction talk tonight er this week.. emphasizing jesus' roles as high priest and head of the congregation .
now you'd think the information the talk is based on would emphasize jesus' roles right?
*** be p. 277 the message we must proclaim ***.
Im kind of worried, it will be painfully obvious that I'm leaving the part about the FDS out of the talk.
No problem, they, including elders, usually don't follow the material, the meeting is extremely boring and they have a hard time to keep the attention on what's being said. Just read one or two Scriptures about Christ's headship and take your time on this. Then just jump to the next part in the talk. If they are really following, they'll figure you were just managing your time and stuff.
Their minds are usually numb during meetings.

Explain to them not only who the "slave" is but also who the Master is so that they become aware of Jesus? headship.
Priceless!
Soooo, we have here a clear WTS slip... They unwittingly say that a "Bible" student learns a lot about the slave and just eventually about Jesus Christ. Extremely revealing. Haven't they ever heard that Christianity is Christ-centered??
Help these interested ones see that there is an organized, worldwide society operating under Christ?s headship.

i read that in the new organized to do jehovah's will book coming out in march at the kh, elders will on say sister so and so is no longer one of jw's.
an elder that i work with said that they will announce from now on joe bloe has been disfellowshipped from the christian cong and is no longer a jw.
or jan bloe has disassociated herself and is no longer one of jw's so they are still going to say df and da but i think they are going to drop the part "conduct unbecoming of a christian" because this can get them into legal trouble when a person goes to the military or votes or takes a blood transfusion.
Thanks, Mark!

a few years ago while in south orange county, socal there was an announcement made.
they needed volunteers to open their homes to our bro's and sis' that were coming in as international delegates.
this was supposed to be a showing of solidarity to our brethren elsewhere and a showing of jw unity and brotherly love (barf).. however, hardly anyone volunteered their homes!
u/d,
Do you remember in which year exactly this episode happened? I'd love to know.

if you are an elder, a c.o.
or a bethelite and are monitoring this site, please take my advice and grab yourself.
some "protection" while you still can.. look, brother - you may be having doubts about your faith.
Met,
I just knew you would come up with a topic exactly like this. I wonder why you didn't do it sooner!
This thread needs to be put back to the top every once in a while.

Lurker,
Metatron is completely right about that.
Give yourself some 'just in case' leverage while you can!
It's definitely "better to have and not need - than to need and not have." You know, there's no guarantee that things will be always fine between you and the Society. Look at how quickly the WTS disposes of people they have problems with. Heed Society's own advice - plan for the future!! You never know what will happen. Nobody disagrees that "time and unforeseen occurrence befall" everyone. (Ecc 9:11)
Raymond Franz, ex-Governing Body member, saved copies of a lot of important docs, just in case. I bet some of them he has never revealed to date. Please do the same - get as much material as you can. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll use it.
Hint: A small voice recorder in your pocket or book bag can also do great wonders. If you know that an important meeting or conversation is coming up, record it secretly. There's no problem doing so. Society does that all the time without telling the person they are talking to, so they can't say it isn't fair.
We know how "theocratic activities" can consume our time. There's a great temptation to put off compiling stuff that you may never use, but it's completely necessary, like car insurance.
So, don't postpone it! You may be saving for your future!!
