Or any other year. Nothing major happened between 1874 - 1878 so they had to drop these dates. Out of all the dates they printed back then only 1914 had an hostoric event take place. So it means they were right.

JW's kids must NOT attend nursery school
by aligot ripounsous ini thought that after some 30 years as a jw the wts's teaching is so familiar that i can hardly find anything new in assembly talks, which may be the reason why, as many attendants do, i gently noze down and opening an eye from time to time is enough to catch up the drift of an all too well known talk.
still, i've been genuinely surprised last sunday by a point a bethel visitor rose in one of the p.m talks, namely that jws are not advised to send their kids to school until an age when he (she) can take a personal stand re.
xmas, birthdays, etc.

by steve2 incan any poster provide a scanned copy of the us field service report in the august km.
some posts have alluded to less than impressive stats for auxiliary pioneers; however, another poster said that the peak number of publishers was up by about 30,000 +.
it would be helpful to have the figures on hand..

Para 15 got me when it said:
15) When unbelieving family members disapprove of your choices, the test can be especially severe. Possibly, Timothy had to overcome such opposition. According to one reference work, Timothy's family probably "belonged to the educated and upper income bracket.
Using works like "Possibly & probably" in connection with a bible study, then backing it up with "According to one refernce work" thats not the bible is a real worry. What ever happened to the scripture that says "6 Now, brothers, these things I have transferred so as to apply to myself and A·pol´los for YOUR good, that in our case YOU may learn the [rule]: "Do not go beyond the things that are written," 1 Cor 4:6.

Undisclosed Revelation Book Changes show "Jehovah" is "The Lamb"
by AlphaOmega inas we all know, in 2006 there were some undisclosed changes to the 1988 revelation climax book.. these scans of page 127 (chapter 20) are identical except for the alteration from "the lamb" to "jehovah".. http://i15.tinypic.com/2qvzgya.jpg.
http://i17.tinypic.com/2nukpd0.jpg.
since this change was not listed in the september 2006 kingdom ministry, are we to conclude that it is not "a key change" and the alteration is merely semantics?

Thanks slmdf for that.
One thing that I remember from a convention 3 years ago was when the CO told the sisters in a talk that when choosing a hair style, That they should not look into worldly mags for idea's, but look in the Watchtower mags for idea's, this is because the GB has approved of these photo's.

How many times during the public talk have I heard different speakers quote from other religious books? and then we are made to feel guilty if we research these very books.

About 3 weeks ago we had a km locals needs part, "Parents, do you know what your kids are doing on the internet". The Elder doing the part made mention to a site (www.bebo.com), he even said that he has found some members of our cong on there. Needless to say it was a good advert to the site, I wouldn't have been the only one that went home that night and checked it out.
