Very good vienne! If you had trouble downloading I could have used a different hosting site for you. No problem! We-transfer is another site I could have used for you.

Petra will be coming to visit soon for Christmas time. She wants to make sure Grandpa is not getting into trouble. Grandma Nevada (wife of Atlantis) taught her this way.

Even when Petra was 3 years old, she would point her finger at me and her father (Vulcan) and say: (Now you two behave yourselves!)

We did what all men would do when a 3 year old says that.

We said: YES MAM!

Grandpa!

Drearyweather:

Yes, the V.D.M. subject is not new and is splattered all over Watchtower literature. The V.D.M. Questionnaire is mentioned in the following:

Proclaimers Book

1974 Yearbook

1975 Yearbook

Watchtower's with several different dates.

1916

1917

1918

Kingdom Ministry's and so forth.

Pretty much all of that stuff is in the folder.

Thanks everybody! In one statement for the V.D.M. questionnaire at the bottom of the page, the Tower asks the participants not to cheat.

Can you imagine?

Mr. Magoo! ( Well, that is what Petra calls me sometimes! )

Atlantis, Do You Have The V.D.M. Questionnaire?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Betty:

At first, this Questionnaire was just for the brothers who were speakers, to better qualify themselves to teach.

In those days, many congregations who "elected" brothers to be elders would not even consider a brother, unless he had answered these questions and got 85% of them right.

The first mention of the V.D.M. Degree was in the 1906 Watchtower. Watchtower Headquarters had three brothers who would grade these tests.

A person would write to headquarters and request the questionnaire. The questionnaire would be sent to them in postal mail, and the participant would answer the questions and send it back to headquarters.

Later on around 1915 or 1916, the sisters learned about this questionnaire and also wanted to qualify themselves to teach. Many sisters passed the test and were just as qualified to teach as the elders. They just needed to wear a head-covering.

If the participant answered the questions and got at least 85% of them right, they were sent a V.D.M. Degree

This is the "Form" that was sent out to participants back around 1916. The ink is a little weak but still readable. The brothers could use their "V.D.M. Degree" to avoid the draft and claim they were a minister.

The V.D.M. Committee was set up of three brothers to grade each test. If a person passed the test they were sent a V.D.M. Degree

Since the Watchtower claimed that "ALL" JW's were ministers, they then decided to try and qualify every JW on earth as a minister. So, around 1943 when the Theocratic Ministry School started, they decided to test everyone with questions.

This was the start of the "Written Review".

I have all that junk, I mean spiritual food, in a folder with the Watchtower's of 1916-1918 and other stuff if you want it.

Each PDF will show a code at the end of the file name, such as: Sisters, committee, Questionnaire, 3 brothers committee, and so forth for quick finding.

The PDF's are highlighted for quick viewing.

If you just want the Questionnaire, then be my guest. If you find any vanilla ice-cream in there, send it back!

Watchtower/1953/July/15th/pg.443

—Matt. 24:21, 22.
46 With Satan and his wicked organization annihilated, the New World society made up of the anointed remnant, the captains or sarim now serving in official capacities and the great crowd of other sheep, later augmented by the resurrected faithful men of old, will make rapid progress in building up the new system of things on the earth. Just think; all the resources of mankind, both physical and financial, will be available for reconstruction work! The earth will be made beautiful with lovely homes for all living.

Kongressnachlese 2022 - TV Glotz Kongress

by + in

also ich winke jeden tag meinem tv-gerät und wer von uns hat nicht schon vor wachtturmcomicsbildchen geweint.. wer an dämonen, vampire und wehrwölfe glaubt, der glaubt auch das sich der fernseher freut, wenn ich in seine richtung klatsche.

wenn ich mir alleine vor dem fernseher ein kongressvideo ansehe, stecke ich mir auch mein namensschild an.. in zukunft poste ich nur noch selfies mit meinem fernsehgerät.. und wenn ich in zukunft vor dem fernsehgerät singe stehe ich selbstverständlich dabei auf – denn gott sieht alles, er hört alles und er riecht alles….

English translation:

So I wave to my TV every day and who of us hasn't already cried in front of the Watchtower Comics picture.

Anyone who believes in demons, vampires and werewolves also believes that the television is happy when I clap in its direction.

If I watch a conference video alone in front of the television, I also put on my name tag.

In the future I will only post selfies with my TV.

And when I sing in front of the TV in the future, I will of course stand up - because God sees everything, He hears everything and He smells everything...
