I think the booklet you are looking for is:
http://www.strictlygenteel.co.uk/booklets/preaching.html
Was this not a forerunner to the Organized book? It's name changed with different editions if I remember correctly.

Have you stopped pushing yourself physically and mentally?
by compound complex indear recovering friends,.
lady lee's thread on health issues and disabilities prompts this thread.
removed now from theocratic pursuits and 'pouring yourself out like a drink offering' at all costs, are you tending to your mental and physical health realistically and without feeling guilt?.

No. Start the day with a few gentle exercises and try to walk whenever I can. Not much but it all helps I'm sure.
Since retiring I try to keep the brain working as much as possible. I do a short course (distance learning) each year to try and learn something new and different.

w 8011/15p.23par.4“JehovahofArmies”totheRescue!
4 The fact that today we do not have a vast water canopy suspended high up in space and all around our globe and thus blocking direct sunlight, moonlight and starlight is because Jehovah saw what was going on down here upon his terrestrial footstool and took action. He deluged those suspended waters down from on high upon his footstool, not to bathe his feet, but to wipe out bad conditions among all mankind. The inspired record of this says: “Jehovah saw that the badness of man was abundant in the earth and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time. . . . So Jehovah said: ‘I am going to wipe men whom I have created off the surface of the ground, . . .’ But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.”

PS I could never work out how stars could be seen through this canopy, the slightest wisps of cloud blocks them out! Then again when I read the Paradise book I was only a kid, what did I know?

In the past, FAKE newspaper coverage of WT "International Conventions" in the US
by AndersonsInfo inmany people that post or lurk here at jwn are too young to remember some of the huge international conventions jws held many years ago, but probably have seen impressive photos such as of the 1958 eight-day convention held simultaneously at new yorks yankee stadium and polo grounds.
especially remarkable was the tremendous newspaper coverage of that assembly and other special conventions held in the 1940s and 50s in the united states.
yesterday, when i downloaded somebodys old scrapbook full of long-ago newspaper articles, http://www.archive.org/details/watchtowernewsscrapbook,reporting on jehovahs witnesses so-called international conventions, i couldnt help but remember what i wrote regarding extraordinary newspaper convention coverage in my www.freeminds.org article, how jehovahs witnesses watchtower religion impacted my family history, part 3 and thought id share the information here on jwn for those who are not familiar with how such wonderful coverage came about.

When we replaced our perfectly adequate and modern KH for a new 'Quick Build', a Bible Study lady asked why we were doing that if the end was so near. She never came again.
