TO ALL CONGREGATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES BRANCH TERRITORY
Re: 2015 Calendar in English

Dear Brothers:
We are writing regarding the 2015 Calendar in English that will be shipped to congregations
beginning mid-October. Some copies of the 2015 Calendar in English contain errors. For
example, the Memorial Bible reading schedule is not accurate. Therefore, please follow the Memorial
Bible reading schedule found in Examining the Scriptures—2015 instead of the schedule
found in the 2015 Calendar in English.
Additionally, the calendars that contain errors also emphasize starting Bible studies on
the first Saturday of each month. However, as noted in the December 2014 Our Kingdom Ministry,
this arrangement will be discontinued as of January 2015.
Please be assured of our warm Christian love.

PS to coordinator of the body of elders:

If many publishers in your congregation have requested the 2015 Calendar in English,
please arrange for this letter to be read to the congregation at the first Service Meeting after its
receipt. Thereafter, it should be posted on the information board. If only a few publishers have
requested the calendar, please arrange for this information to be conveyed to them personally.

You read it here first!

since a previous thread is getting comments that this guy may become a new gb member, the topic above is worth pursuing.

here's what i found out by searching so far---in other words, not much.

surely others must know something about the guy.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/198944/1/william-malenfant-learn-from-me-mp3-trinidad-2010-zone-talk.

I saw him once giving a talk. Whatever.

Jehovah's Witnesses Respond To Ebola - What do you think?

by toweragent in

http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/world/jehovahs-witnesses-respond-2014-ebola-outbreak/.

i usually find most of what they post on the news or updates section of the website repulsive or even nauseating.

but i really thought this was nice of them to finally be proactive in something like this.. the article even mentions helping non-witnesses as well.

Is messed up when we get "happy" when the Borg does "good acts" from time to time. It is because this is not the norm for them.

Is not on the public website yet, but here it is, full more changes:

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!
