Back in1969 they said if you are thinking of a 3 or 4 year college course you will never fulfil any career as Armageddon will be here before then. Those that graduated in the 1970's are now at or near retirement and the system is still going strong.

I went to Uni and never regretted it. The thought of a life as a pioneer and window cleaner makes me shudder.

Our Kingdom Ministry

by NotFormer in

my understanding was that this was the magazine regularly published for insiders only, unlike the watchtower and the awake!

looking online, it seems that the wt ceased publication of this in 2016. is it due to a name change (it seems to have changed its name several times over the years) or has it been succeeded by a new publication?

or has it ceased to be?.

I remember it as Bulletin for a while. Of course bulletin is verboten because it is a Catholic word ( Papal bull)

@road to nowhere - I thought I was old!

"The service sheet of instructions entitled “Bulletin” appeared now monthly after October, 1922, encouraging all as “valiant warriors” to memorize Society-prepared testimonies, first called a “canvass,” in offering the Bible literature. (In October, 1935, this monthly service instrument was named “Director,” and finally in July, 1936, was given its present title “Informant.”)

Those of us of a certain age will remember "The Informant" This changed to Kingdom Ministry in about 1957. From then it changed to Our kingdom Service and back again to Our Kingdom Ministry until 2016 I think.

Journeyman gave a good outline above. It really is dumbed down. Counsel is from a small 24 page booklet, "Apply yourself to reading and teaching". Gone are the days of Qualified to be Ministers etc.

Thanks for that ExBeth. It will be interesting to see if it raises any eyebrows tomorrow evening. I suspect that nobody knows about AM III and even fewer care.

My old Android device is still showing the thumbnail for the old video but will not play it. It says to import the new file. It will be interesting to see if we get the announcement this week. Surprisingly this announcement was not included on the August Announcements and Reminders.
