  looking at this thread by winstonsmith, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/249671/1/notes-from-2013-memorial-talk-appreciate-what-christ-has-done-for-you.

  made me think, how is the memorial celebrated in different parts of the world?

  do they all fall on this year's march 26?

  First mention of "new light" may appear in July 15, 2013 Watchtower

  a trusted source informs me that the "new light" about the faithful slave is to make its first printed appearance in the july 15th watchtower, which should be available for download online three weeks from now, on around april 15th.. i'm led to believe that the references to the new understanding are made in such a manner as to suggest the "new light" isn't that new at all, which suggests to me that little or no effort is being made to explain the doctrinal connotations.

  my source and i are hoping to get a key paragraph posted at the earliest opportunity.

  According to thefreedictionary.com:

  Singular: Being only one; individual.

  Composite: Made up of distinct components; compound. (More than one)

  According to the WT/FDS/GB:

  Singular and composite are synonymous.

  English language at its best.

  BOE Letter: Rules to deal with rules

  as everybody jere knows, there is no requirement for a christian to "count and report" their time.

  that's totally made-up by the wt/fds/gb, so, they have to make rules to deal with their own rules.... .

  TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS

  Re: Showing consideration for those involved in theocratic projects

  Dear Brothers:

  Publishers and pioneers are working hard to accomplish the all-important preaching of the good news of God’s Kingdom during this time of the end. (Matt. 24:14) Additionally, many broth-ers and sisters assist with construction of Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, and Bethel facilities, as well as with other organizational matters. Some brothers serve on Regional Building Committees, Hospital Liaison Committees, Disaster Relief Committees, Assembly Hall Committees, Conven-tion Committees, or as Bethel remote volunteers. (Ex. 35:25, 26, 30—36:1) All such assignments are a valuable form of sacred service. These brothers and sisters deserve our commendation, en-couragement, and support for their part in caring for these theocratic responsibilities. Their caring for this important work may affect their field service activity as well as their share in other congre-gation activities. Elders in their congregation can show appreciation for brothers caring for other organizational needs by filling in for them locally when they must be away and not being critical of their reduced field service activity. Consideration along these lines should also be extended when reviewing brothers’ qualifications for recommendation as elders and ministerial servants. The No-vember 7, 2008, letter to all bodies of elders contains direction on how publishers involved in im-portant theocratic activity can write a brief explanatory note on the back of their Field Service Re-port (S-4), even when such activity does not qualify for receiving pioneer hour credit.

  Although pioneers generally concentrate on the field ministry with as little interruption as possible, they may also be involved in some of the theocratic assignments mentioned above, espe-cially when other publishers are not available. Their spirituality, availability, and willing spirit al-low them to support Kingdom interests in a special way. Thus, they may be extended hour credit to help them meet their monthly requirement. But at times, pioneers spend more time in these activi-ties in a given month than they can receive hour credit for. They may thus fall short of the annual regular pioneer hour requirement. In such cases, please keep in mind what is stated in the Septem-ber 5, 2007, letter to all bodies of elders: “When the body of elders reviews the activity of the regu-lar pioneers at the end of the service year, they should take into consideration all that such pioneers are doing on behalf of Kingdom interests and grant special consideration to them. . . . The elders, being aware of the pioneer’s work to support Kingdom interests, will offer warm commendation.”

  We trust these reminders will prove helpful as you provide encouragement

  So, I guess a Christian preaching work is not that important as buiding kingdom halls...

  I wonder what sort of complaint prompted the WT/GB/FDS to write this directive.

  I GET TO STUDY WITH RESURRECTED PIRATES, YOU DON'T!

  by AuntConnie in

  some saw the picture of the pirate in the wt and laughed...some may have even thought it was inappropriate (all that raping and pillaging!).

  but consider, a pirate is the perfect example of a goal for our young ones to motivate them to look to the paradise and potential studies.

  pirates don't require higher education...no need for our children to idolize astronauts or politicians.

  this is a hypothethical, so i'm not looking for whether you would ever do this, or "why would you want to subject yourself to this...", but rather, what would happen if some did do this..... .................... you're half of a married jw couple, and you admit to doubts about certain wts teachings and it leads to an eventual disfellowshipping.

  but instead of walking away from the kingdom hall forever, you stay put.

  Maybe the elders will see that person as "strange" and just pretend he does not exits.
