So why they also not put these two publications then in one magazine????
My guess is its all about the count, if they combine to one the circulation for the two magazines would essentially be cut in half......
the announcement of the reduced number of pages in the watchtower & awake will be made after the watchtower study following the "special talk" on april 8.. theoretically, that's when there will be more visitors and "outsiders" than usual.
even the talk itself has 1/2 of its content directed at inactive jws.. obviously this reduction in pages has been in the works for several weeks if not months.
why pick that date to announce it?

march 26, 2012. news item:.
jehovah's witnesses to reduce pages in watchtower & awake!
magazines.
We have a few JW women who hand out old literature outside of our building about once a week (well they stand there and talk to each other while holding old literature), I think a copy of this would really be nice to hand to them, maybe after mentioning how nice it will be that they will not need to be carrying as much next year.
Best part would be them getting this information before the official, confidential announcement.....
will the tms/bs get rescheduled?
?.
so this stuff is really not all that important then????
will the tms/bs get rescheduled?

if you weren't raised in the religion, why did you get involved?.
what issue(s) keep some from ever being attracted to the witnesses?.
If people are "weak", they are more inclined to get into this religion.
I fully agree!

The ability to critically think and my need to research anything for what it really is has kept me away. My wife on the other hand has been drawn in by the 'simplicity' of the way things are done.....do this, you get this and since she really struggles thinking for herself, she gets caught 'hook, line and sinker' (she was raised in a JW family but has never been dunked, she flirts with them A LOT)
so i just broke up with my jw boyfriend of over two years, nearly three.
when i met him he was disfellowshipped and i didn't find out he was a jehovah's witness unitl 4 months into the relationship.
six month into he was reinstated with the caution of getting rid of me, but he didnt.
Would agree with the general thoughts on this thread, my wife was raised JW and is in an on again/off again relationship with the WTS and when she is, the WTS comes first.
You shall do great!!!!
in a new letter to all b.o.e., higher education has been defined as any education that leads to a bachelor's degree, or to postgraduate studies for careers in medicine, law, engineering and so forth.
the letter is to be used to determine if an elder, ministerial servant or pioneer still qualify if they or someone in there family, that they care for, is pursuing higher education.. so getting your associates must be fine then?.
another couple of twists on the clamps........
there's also the assembly of jehovah's witnesses, 1201 n. delaware st. it's a majestic, century-old house of god, fronted by enormous stone pillars that would give samson pause.. .
it was built in 1912 by christian scientists who, when they moved on, sold it to baptists.
the baptists moved on in the 1970s and sold it to jehovah's witnesses.
There's also the Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1201 N. Delaware St. It's a majestic, century-old house of God, fronted by enormous stone pillars that would give Samson pause.
It was built in 1912 by Christian Scientists who, when they moved on, sold it to Baptists. The Baptists moved on in the 1970s and sold it to Jehovah's Witnesses. Now the Jehovah's Witnesses want out and are asking $2,895,000.

have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?
bringing this bttt so it stays in peoples minds as the article study approaches.
