1956 Watchtower/11/15/pg.688
At one of the Society’s Bethel homes a brother, close to eighty years
old, unable to climb stairs because of heart trouble, sends letters of
comfort together with literature to those whose addresses appear in
the obituary column because of having lost a loved one.
Look for green underlining.

Watchtower 1967/6/1/pg.345
The minister soon found that, since she had made the original call, he
had received a letter from a Witness who obtained his name and address
from the obituary column in the newspaper. Though the man was a
stranger to her, she had written a kind letter explaining the Bible’s
glorious hope of a resurrection.

1970 Kingdom Ministry/Jan/pg.8/par.3
3 Many in the congregation know that this sister has had good success
in witnessing by mail. So they give her names and addresses of
individuals to whom they would like her to write. She writes to
individuals that she and other publishers have met in the hospital.
One brother met a businessman who lived in another part of the
country. This man showed interest in the truth. So the brother gave
his name and address to this sister, who continued to develop the
interest by mail. Some names she gets from the obituary column. Or if
there is information in the local paper about new mothers, or engaged
individuals, she writes them, sharing good news from the Scriptures to
encourage them as they embark upon their new responsibilities. The
overseer has gone into the lobbies of apartment houses where the
publishers cannot get in to witness, and he has copied the names and
apartment numbers off the mailboxes so that this sister can contact
these individuals by mail. Names and addresses have been obtained from
the phone book as well as other sources.

1971 Yearbook/pg.248/Portugal/par.2
Can elderly people participate in the ministry? Consider this example:
A sister who is eighty-eight years of age could no longer go from
house to house and manifested concern about how to share regularly in
the service. It was suggested that she use the obituary column in the
newspaper and write letters to bereaved families.

I can’t find it!
by Truth and Justice ini need some serious help on something that i read here on this board, and so i am going to do my best to explain what i’m looking for.
i need this, so i can’t share with my brother who is still in.. it has to do with the organization saying in affect that each member in the congregation has the right to decide for themselves what they choose to do, (that is whether they choose to be apart of the organization without repercussions) and that they would not think of interfering with our own conscience, and that if they chose otherwise that it would be their own decision.. now some might think that the society wouldn’t write something like that, but they did, and i read it, and after reading it, i said to myself “they don’t follow this, they never have.” .
if you could locate this for me, i would be very grateful!.

Wasn't the name YHWH or YHVH inscribed and viewed just as important as a signature? The Watchtower Society would have us believe so.

The mere fact that the article exists in the Watchtower in the first place, is because JW's were asking for autographs in their books and Bibles, and the Watchtower wanted it stopped. So they wrote an article to counsel JW's to stop this.
Those high up in the watchtower are treated like movie stars when they arrive, and still JW's run to get their pictures taken with them.
JW's make idols out of them.

The above link shows previous comments on this subject. From OUTLAW:
OUTLAW2 years ago2 years ago
A very recent Watchtower study (Jan. 2016, p. 27), in the supplemental article “Love ‘Does Not Behave Indecently,’” counselled against making an overt show of idolization toward brothers with high positions in treating them as celebrities or some kind of movie stars. That article asked: “Would we ask them to autograph our books and Bibles?
God won`t Autograph your Bible..But..
If your a Cuban Public Official..
The WBT$ GB "Rock Star" Popes will Autograph Your Bible..

I have always found it rather odd to see the name of a governing body member on an investment page, when they are under a vow of poverty oath.
