the full cover reads, "report on 'everlasting good news' assembly of jehovah's witnesses around the world june 30-september 8, 1963", 192 pages.. it appears to be a report on each of the conventions that were held around the world at that time.

a little wordy for modern taste, but there's lots of neato pictures.. hubby is borrowing it from a friend.

is this document available elsewhere or as a scan?

Hi Guest with questions,

I am pleased you all appreciate the work involved, I have just started on Kingdom Ministry's as well.

Sister fokyc is an average JW and I manage to get the scan of March 15th Mag online by the 6th January, so about 9 weeks before publications date.

The 15th of the month IS NOT to be placed with the public. Only active publishers, bible studies,... ...and ME!

Elders are appointed by 'Holy Spirit', according to a recent talk at Bristol UK Assembly Hall.

JW literature - do you still have?

by LouBelle in

jw
friends

i honestly can't remember when last i held a watchtower or awake in my hands - it kinda creeps me out to even think about having them near me.. i used to have loads of magazines and books, kept my old bible, reasoning book, aid book, live forever, revelation, and greek bible for a while.

but i got to the stage where i just didn't want anymore of that crap in my house - had to thow it out.

the magazines alone filled a couple of black bags.

fokyc

Since the CD-ROM, Sister fokyc has reduced much of the literature, particularly Awakes and Watchtowers.

BUT we still have about 40 years of bound volumes, ALL the other books except for a few between 1966 and 1972

I have ALL the Kingdom Ministry's back to the early 1950's

Our residence is begining to sink, BUT won't blow away in the wind!

Is it compulsory to stay the 15 minutes for association after the WT study?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

well, today was the first sunday meeting with the half hour public talk.. the public talk was not for the public at all - it was about staying awake spiritually and was very hardcore.

more like a service talk.. before the meeting, one sister says that we are all expected to stay for at least 15 minutes after the wt study, because the society.

wants us to have more "association".. .

Watchtower 2004

October 1st p.16 par.7 "Have Tender Affection for One Another"

By being present and involved before, during, and after meetings, we encourage and incite one another "to love and fine works." (Hebrews 10:24, 25) "I fondly recall," relates an elder in the United States, "that when I was a child, my family was always among the last to leave the Kingdom Hall, enjoying the friendly and meaningful conversation as long as possible."

Watchtower 1992 August 15th p.12 pars.10-11 Keep Building One Another Up

The time before and after meetings is convenient for building others up with conversation that is favorable to the hearers. It would be easy to spend these periods in pleasant talk with relatives and a small number of friends with whom we are comfortable. (John 13:23; 19:26) However, in line with Ephesians 4:29, why not seek out others to speak with? (Compare Luke 14:12-14.) We could determine beforehand to go beyond saying just a formal or passing good-day to certain new ones, older folk, or youngsters, even sitting down with young ones so as to be more on their level. Our genuine interest and periods of upbuilding speech will make others even more able to echo David’s sentiments at Psalm 122:1.

Another aid to upbuilding conversation is varying where we sit at meetings. A nursing mother might need to sit close to the restroom, or an infirm one might need an aisle seat, but what about others of us? Mere habit may lead us back to a certain seat or area; even a bird returns instinctively to its roost. (Isaiah 1:3; Matthew 8:20) Frankly, though, since we can sit anywhere, why not vary our location—right side, left side, near the front, and so forth—and thus get better acquainted with different ones? While there is no rule that we do this, elders and other mature ones who vary where they sit have found it easier to impart what is favorable to many instead of to just a relatively few close friends.

There is NO RULE but Elders and others have a strange way of inventing 'RULES'.

Jeff,

Well covered here:
