Dear Brothers:
We are pleased to announce the release of a new ten-minute video entitled “You Became
So Beloved to Us,” based on 1 Thessalonians 2:8. This video builds appreciation for our circuit
overseers and the wonderful work they accomplish along with their loyal wives. It should be
played for the congregation during local needs on the midweek meeting just prior to the visit of
the circuit overseer from September 2015 through February 2016. It should not be played during
the week of the circuit overseer’s visit. If the local needs part used for the video is not ten
minutes in length, the other parts on the Service Meeting should be adjusted accordingly.
In this regard, we are also pleased to inform you of the new “Event Media” document
type that is now available on jw.org to congregation elders. Videos designed for viewing at future
meetings will be accessible to elders by clicking on the new “Event Media” link under the
“Documents” tab. At times, videos designed for viewing by elders only will also be accessible in
this area.

All elders have automatically been assigned the “View Event Media—General” and
“View Event Media—Restricted” roles. Ministerial servants have been assigned the “View Event
Media—General” role. As ministerial servants are appointed as elders or as elders and ministerial
servants are added to the congregation domain, it will be necessary for one of the domain administrators
to assign them the aforementioned roles. Please note that no ministerial servant
should be assigned the “View Event Media—Restricted” role. The jw.org Roles (S-135) form
has been updated. The “Became So Beloved” video has been posted in the “Event Media” section
of the “Documents” tab on jw.org and is available to those with the “View Event Media—
Restricted” role.
We send our warm Christian love.

Crazy myths about the way GB is "guided"

by paradisebeauty in

there are a few jw's i know who believe that when the gb takes a decision this is what happens:.

each member goes into a separate room, prays about something.

after that, they get together and they all have the same thought about the issue.. what are the craziest ideas you heard about the way they are "guided".

Resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.

I wish this was only a myth but it is their actual believe.

Writing Committee Doesn't Understand Past, Present, & Future Tenses

by The Searcher in

the verses say one thing, the org says it means something entirely different.. (matthew 24:34) "truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen.

w14 1/15 p. 31 par.

15 - "we understand that in mentioning "this generation," jesus was referring to two groups of anointed christians.

What kind of errors in the Bible?

by TheWonderofYou in

the new testament specialist daniel wallace notes that although there are about 300,000 individual variations of the text of the new testament, this number is very misleading.

most of the differences are completely inconsequential--spelling errors, inverted phrases and the like.

a side by side comparison between the two main text families (the majority text and the modern critical text) shows agreement a full 98% of the time.[18].

if Jehovah can't even keep his own name in the bible how can I trust anything else in there to be correct?

This.

Why does the Almighty need a mediator?

by economy in

god is alike to all of his children, hence cannot elevate one child above all others just because one was brought into existence before others.

(ezekiel 18:4) someone has to be first-born which does not give him any superiority over others!

interestingly, jesus simply dismissed the whole idea of one being placed over the others as pagan.

Jesus is not my mediator. The GB is! Well according to them. NOT.

GB Spirit directed writing - October 2015 Awake

by Listener in

the awake oct 2015 is now up on jw org.. one article talks about young adults returning to their parents home and tries to give them some advice.. one of the highlighted comments are these magical words.

<<remember, more important than what you do is becoming proficient at what you do.>>.

i don't see how it's more important to become more proficient in that window washing job than working towards a more interesting and better paying job.

You don’t have to do what you love in order to love what you do.

WTF?

You don’t have to do what you love [ I don't love being a JW, in fact, I hate it!] in order to love what you do [ I won't love it either!].
