  page 28, paragraph 11 says in part:.

  "it seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.

  " (the 24 elders = "anointed christians in their heavenly positions".).

  Rbi8Matthew18:1-11***

  18

  In that hour the disciples came near to Jesus and said: "Who really is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?" 2 So, calling a young child to him, he set it in their midst 3 and said: "Truly I say to YOU, Unless YOU turn around and become as young children, YOU will by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 4 Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one that is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;5 and whoever receives one such young child on the basis of my name receives me [also]. 6 But whoever stumbles one of these little ones who put faith in me, it is more beneficial for him to have hung around his neck a millstone such as is turned by an ass and to be sunk in the wide, open sea.

  7

  "Woe to the world due to the stumbling blocks! Of course, the stumbling blocks must of necessity come, but woe to the man through whom the stumbling block comes! 8 If, then, your hand or your foot is making you stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you; it is finer for you to enter into life maimed or lame than to be thrown with two hands or two feet into the everlasting fire. 9 Also, if your eye is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you; it is finer for you to enter one-eyed into life than to be thrown with two eyes into the fiery Ge·hen´na. 10 See to it that YOU men do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell YOU that their angels in heaven always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. 11 ——

  The Governing Body are as the little children here illustrated, How dare you speak of them as ordinary people! They are Gods now!!!

  A most perfect anthem for Jehovah's Witnesses (tongue-in-cheek, of course):

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqxQwelOEXo&feature=PlayList&p=13294C6913C95FB7&index=6

  It might be a little monontonous, but listen, all the way through; it rocks, lalalalala, like a "catheter to the knee."

  Cool thanks..

  AppreciationforGod’sRevelations

  Through the revelations recorded in his Word, Jehovah has helped us to become better acquainted with him and many of his purposes. What a great aid TheWatchtower has been to us in understanding Jehovah’s revelations! In view of what we have learned, we are not anxious about what the future holds, as people of the world are. Rather, with confidence, we look forward to the good things Jehovah has in store for all who will worship him in spirit and in truth, and we want to help others to become acquainted with Jehovah and his purposes too. One of the best ways we can do this is by participating fully in the thirty-second Watchtower campaign. The offer will be a subscription for TheWatchtower, and three booklets, for a contribution of $1. Or you may offer a subscription for both TheWatchtower and Awake! for $2 if you wish, and give a premium of six booklets.

  2

  When you saw the theme "Finding the True Religion" suggested in the December KingdomMinistry for our use in the house-to-house work with the subscriptions, how did it strike you? Have you tried it yet, following the suggestions made in the KingdomMinistry? We encourage you to do so. See what works best in your territory.

  3

  Last year it was suggested that we present scriptures on the theme "Religion That God Approves." Some brothers were hesitant about using this presentation at first. However, many later found that when they asked the opinion of householders concerning things they see going on in the religious organizations, many were not only willing to discuss their views of religious practices but were very open in expressing their disapproval of things they had heard and seen in their own religious organizations. This provided excellent opportunities to give a witness. So we suggest now, too, in beginning your presentation, that you ask the householder what he thinks of the upheaval, disorder and rebellion seen in the religions of Christendom. Let him express himself. Encourage him to do so. It is apparent that the thinking of many people has changed. You will find some very willing to express their views on religion and the clergy. Yet, you will find that many of these people still maintain a faith in God and they need to learn how to worship him in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him.—John 4:23.

  4

  During the Watchtower campaign each issue of TheWatchtower will have articles that appeal strongly to those who love righteousness and who long to know the truth. Kindly but forcefully each of these magazines will show the urgent need for lovers of righteousness to get out of false religion and to associate with Jehovah’s people in doing God’s will now while there is yet time. This is information that people need—NOW! And during the Watchtower campaign it will be our privilege to present it to them.

  5

  Our greatest field for obtaining new subscriptions is, of course, from house-to-house. One brother in North Carolina obtained 100 subscriptions during the campaign last year. Asked the secret, he said that it was just spending enough time in the house-to-house ministry. The circuit servant observed that, though this brother is eighty-one years of age, "he doesn’t like to sit in the car too much." As you arrange your affairs to share regularly in the house-to-house ministry, we pray that Jehovah will bless you with good success and fine experiences.

  6

  A brother in Missouri obtained 125 subscriptions from friends and relatives. By all means, make the subscriptions available to your friends, relatives and workmates. You may decide to give some gift subscriptions. If you do, you can indicate on the top of the subscription slip that it is a gift subscription and that you are the giver. The Society will be glad to notify the recipient of this.

  7

  One sister obtained five subscriptions while engaging in street magazine work. When pedestrians asked how much the magazines were, her reply was, "A dollar a year."

  8

  Because of the urgency of the times and the message we bear, there is a need for us to show zeal in offering the subscriptions and encouraging others to become acquainted with God by his revelations. In doing so, we show love for our neighbors and we give evidence of our appreciation to Jehovah for his aiding us to get acquainted with him by his revelations.

  We have set our minds and hearts on Jesus Christ and trust explicitly in him. We have never been more thrilled about the state of our fellowship! We are pooling our energies and moving forward in preaching the gospel worldwide and equipping our local congregations to be healthy examples of the body of Christ. We are using the spiritual gifts we have been given and capitalizing on the intense dedication to Jesus Christ—now rightly channeled—which has long characterized our Society.

  Yet they teach that the Kingdom Halls are the only buildings of true worship & salvation can only be attained through meeting attendance!
