Assemblies - what is the current structure/number

by insearchoftruth in

looking for a bit of background on the assembly structure, realizing it may be a bit different this year due to the 100 year stuff.. in a typical calendar year, how many assemblies do the jws have (outside of the normal meeting structure), what are they called and what is the duration?.

thanks.

I recall there being regional assemblies, special assembly days, district conventions etc.

2014 DC Release (Unofficial Rumors)

by WatchTower87 in

mi first prophecy:.

friday afternoon: 4:20 teach your children to love gods kingdom!

new book/brochure for children based on the articles "teach your children" (appeared in watchtower public edition).

My guess is the reasoning book replacement will become electronic in nature only since they 'nu light' comes about so frequently it can be adjusted much quicker. Most likely part of a JW app or something similar.

International Conventions for 2014 - Landover, MD - What is an International Convention?

by insearchoftruth in

have been out of touch for a while, i see that there is an 'international' convention this year in landover, md (fed ex field) and there are no english conventions in either richmond or hampton, va. what is an 'international convention', is it merely a consolidation of all the other conventions meant to whip up some fervor amongst the masses?.

Thanks Listener! Shall hang in there! Wife has had some major stress in her life as of late and that is normally when she runs back, plus she has not been working and the 'social aspect' of the studies also somewhat appeals to her.

The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"

by Leolaia in

finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.

we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.

apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

IMHO one of the best posts on this forum. I miss the great writings of Leolaia!

"My understanding is that most of the congregations from Richmond north past Baltimore are assigned."

Would that include most of the Virginia Engliish speaking congregations, we are in the tidewater area.
