TO THE 2015 SCHOOL:

Bible Highlights: Brothers assigned this part will have two minutes to consider one interesting and practical Scriptural point from the weekly Bible reading. Good preparation will result in sharing a point of value with the congregation within the allotted time. Thereafter, the congregation will have the customary six minutes to offer comments of 30 seconds or less on interesting points they found in the weekly Bible reading. It takes preparation and self-discipline to make a meaningful comment in 30 seconds, but doing so is good training for us. It also allows time for others to comment on what they have learned in their personal research.

Assignment No. 1: The time allotted for the Bible reading has been reduced to three minutes or less and will cover less material. Those who receive a reading assignment should rehearse it several times by reading it aloud and paying close attention to proper pronunciation and fluency in order to convey thoughts with understanding. All of Jehovah’s people should strive to read well, since reading plays an important role in our worship. How delighted we are that so many of our children read well! Parents are to be commended for their loving efforts to help their children become good readers.

A New Feature of Assignment No. 3 for Brothers: When the assignment is based on the material in the New World Translation, it should be presented as a demonstration of family worship or field service. Usu ally the school overseer will assign an assistant and the setting. The assistant should be a member of the student’s family or a brother in the congregation. Additional scriptures that highlight Bible principles that tie in with the theme may be included in the presentation. From time to time, an elder may be assigned to present this part. Elders may choose their own assistant and setting. Undoubtedly, it will be encouraging for the congregation to see elders demonstrate the art of teaching with a family member or another brother.

Counsel: The school overseer will use two minutes after each student’s presentation to give commendation as well as constructive counsel based on Benefit From Theocratic Ministry School Education. When the school overseer introduces a student’s part on the program, he will not announce the point of counsel the student is working on. After each presentation, the overseer should give the student sincere commendation, announce the point of counsel the student is working on and state specifically why the student did well on that point or kindly explain why it would be beneficial for the student to give that particular point further attention.

ANNOUNCING NEW SONGS

New Songs for Worship!

You may wonder, ‘Why is it necessary to revise the songbook?’ There are several reasons. First of all, our understanding of the Scriptures continues to be refined, and that can affect the lyrics of our songs. (Prov. 4:18) Another reason for the revision: Many expressions and phrases that are used in the current songbook were drawn from the earlier edition of the New World Translation. Those lyrics must now be adjusted to correspond with the wording of the revised edition. Since extensive work would need to be done just to bring the lyrics up-to-date, it was decided to add a few new songs to the book.

3 Will we have to wait until a new songbook is printed before we can begin using the new songs? No. We are pleased to inform you that over the next several months, a number of new songs will be released on our Web site, jw.org. When a new song is released, it will be scheduled at the end of a Service Meeting with the notation “new song.”

In future months when a new song is scheduled to conclude the Service Meeting, the congregation will listen once to the piano recording. The audience will then sing the song along with the piano recording, as we do for the other songs.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST

Beginning January 1, 2015, the arrangement for congregations to use the first Saturday of each month to concentrate on starting Bible studies will be discontinued. Instead, publishers may offer magazines as they do on other Saturdays. We can offer Bi-

ble studies anytime during the month, using magazines or other study publications.

Changes changes changes!

Re: JW Broadcasting
Dear Brothers:
We are writing to inform you of an exciting initiative that was announced on October 4,
2014, at the annual meeting of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. On
Monday, October 6, 2014, an English-language Internet television station called JW Broadcasting
was launched and can be accessed at tv.jw.org.

JW Broadcasting will initially be advertised in the “See What’s New” section, a link to which can be found on the jw.org homepage.
It can also be accessed at the bottom of all pages of jw.org under “Get Help For.”
JW Broadcasting has three sections. The “Streaming” section contains 12 channels that
broadcast our videos 24 hours a day. These channels are entitled “The Bible,” “Children,” “Family,”
“Featured Program,” “Interviews and Experiences,” “Movies,” “Our Activities,” “Our History,”
“Our Ministry,” “Our Organization,” “Programs and Events,” and “Teenagers.” Each
month, the “Featured Program” channel will broadcast a different one-hour program hosted by a
member of the Governing Body. The extensive “Video on Demand” section will allow individuals
to select any of our videos and watch them at any time. The “Audio” section of JW Broadcasting
will contain music, dramas, and dramatic Bible readings.

We have also contracted with an outside company, Roku, to make it possible to view JW
Broadcasting on a normal television by means of Roku streaming players, including the Roku 1,
Roku 2, Roku 3, and the Roku Streaming Stick. These products can be purchased online or at
retail stores.

Be assured of our warm Christian love and greetings.

Roku???
