i just learned the the kingdom halls have a coded phone number for listening in on the sunday meetings.
for my area the phone number is 623-748-1908. when it asks you for the code dial 623293. you can enter the number of listeners and you are counted in attendance.
i just wanted to let everyone here know and see what everyone's thought's were..
No you can't enter 0 for listeners. I've tried.
Also the service at least at our congregation are provided by a company by the name of KHConf it was suggested by a CO that our congregation make use of it as we had so many elderly and impaired who were getting delivered cassette tapes.
while i was active, i would find someone on the web that would post/share their complete reference information on the theocratic ministry school and i would print it for my mother.
it would include all the wt materials excerpted from their books for each week's school.
many people did it.
Thanks Cattails, sure nothing corporate about that, right?
Righ. And how about the part where MinServs don't get access to the View Forms - Restricted area?
So much secrecy for a school schedule... knowledge is power!

Well, iloowey provides a schedule and they say the schedule is not available for the whole year to the members
At the Extj.com forum there's also a pdf of the English letter to BOE's explaining the procedures for downloading future correspondence from the Branch.

Here's the text of the letter below, is this is for real, you think so? If so, there's got to be some good moles around in the Spanish JW circles. They've even got the Spanish schedule up as well.
TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS IN THE UNITED STATES
Re: Schedule and review answer sheet for Theocratic Ministry School
Dear Brothers:
As announced in the October 2009 Our Kingdom Ministry, the yearly schedule for the
Theocratic Ministry School will no longer appear in Our Kingdom Ministry. In view of this adjustment,
effective immediately, the schedule should be printed from the Forms section of the
jw.org Web site under the Documents tab. It is visible to all those who have the View
Forms—General role. One copy of the schedule should be posted on the information board at the
Kingdom Hall and another copy should be retained by the school overseer for his use in making
assignments. Hard copies will not be provided by the branch office.
We also wish to inform you of an adjustment in how the review answer sheet for the
Theocratic Ministry School will be provided. Rather than hard copies being sent with the
monthly congregation statement mailing, effective immediately, the answer sheets should be
printed from the Forms section of the jw.org Web site and then given to the school overseer. The
answer sheets are only visible to those who have the View Forms—Restricted role.
As a reminder, an elder, preferably the coordinator of the body of elders, should check
the jw.org Web site each week for new forms and letters. Please remember, too, that ministerial
servants should not be given the View Forms—Restricted role or any View Letters role.
Thank you for noting these adjustments. We send our warm Christian love.
Your brothers,
cc: Traveling overseers
PS to secretary:
This letter should be retained in the congregation file along with other letters related to
the jw.org Web site.
the november 1st public wt has an article on "do you need to learn hebrew and greek?
" funny is it not that they feel we do not need too.
anywho on page 21 of said wt.
I'm finding it very hard to read a response post on learning Greek or Hebrew
from a person who spells the Savior's name as "JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH".
But anyway...
That the WT doesn't want people learning Greek or Hebrew a risible matter.
The article doesn't really come out and say you shouldn't, it tries in its
mind controlling way to put fear into the learner's heart by giving all the negatives
and warning about the pitfalls of making an effort in trying to learn these languages.
Where do they get the experts in Hebrew and Greek at Bethel who can expound
on the meaning of words for so many WT articles? If a blind man follows a blind man
both will fall into a pit.
should i forward irregularity of dignified brothers in our region to headquarter if not handled satisfactorily at branch?.
.
Huh? Details? I'm guessing this has nothing to do with just adding a little more fiber to their diet.
why do elders, in judicial committee meetings when dealing with immorality, have to ask so many personal questions, i.e.
how many times, was oral sex involved, anal sex, how many times, etc.
is it really necessary or are the elders just getting off asking about someone else's sex life?
One elder said to the girl, "So you like for boys to touch you, eh?"
Whatta perv!
I would have said back "Was that a Freudian slip? Did you mean to say YOU like to touch boys? or Is it girls YOU like to touch?"
Of course that would be grounds for DF'ing for uncleaness of speech for saying it to an elder.
To WillyLoman and Fernando: I really enjoy reading your posts!
some of you may be aware of the jw offshoot in the 1940s after the judge died, they call themselves true faith jehovah's witnesses and are essentially jw's in every way, shape and form, wiwth some minor differences.
found this on you tube, from one of their conventions:.

Interesting! So that's where they got the idea for the new song harmonies? Hmmm.
Looks to me like the Watchtower meets Mormon Tabernacle Choir wanabees...

If it wasn't available, how did iloowy get it? Hmmm.....
At the ExTJ forum he says:
Esto (ss10-E) no aparecera ya en el KM... Solo por descarga desde JW.org se puede obtener .
Which means that he's got access to download it from JW.org
I checked the JW.org website but can't find a link. There are others at
ExTJ forum that have accessed parts of JW.org which are only for Service Committee members
and Literature Servants. There's even screen captures of account pages at ExTJ.com/forum
with contributions etc. You can use Google Translator to get the gist of the pages in Spanish.
But the TMS schedule that Iloowy posted is the English one so you should be able to give it
to your Mom and tell her it was accessed by a JW from the Watchtower's own Download
website at JW.org nothing apostate there right?
There's also an offer to Yknot to send it as a PDF even:

okay, before i make them available, who is interested in the complete set of e.c.
henninges journal, the new covenant advocate?.
henninges started the largest schism in the bible students next to the 1917 schism, when in 1909 he challenged russell on his views of the new covenant.
