  Like the prophet of old,

  the Jeremiah class has been given an assignment

  from the Sovereign of the universe.

  God’s anointed servants are thus duly authorized

  to make pronouncements worldwide

  against nations and kingdoms. Invested

  with authority from the Most High God

  and using the clear language of his inspired

  Word, the Jeremiah class declares that the

  nations and kingdoms of today will be uprooted

  and destroyed at God’s due time and

  by his chosen means. (Jer. 18:7-10; Re

  What a

  source of joy it is that the anointed remnant

  are standing immovable, like “an iron pillar”

  and “a fortified city”!

  Is our heart not uplifted by the modesty shown by by the governing slave with the magnificent body and the rippling muscles on his iron pillar? Why the nations must be quaking in their boots at the pronouncements made under the authority invested by the sovereighn of the universe.

  My very being is swelling with emotion!

  Kingdom Hall Librarys : Can you still Veiw Older Publications ?eg:Russells,Rutherfords books ?? or even books from the ~50s

  i`m just curious if such books as "life everlasting in freedom of the sons of god " " let your will be done on earth" etc.

  are still available in the kingdom hall libraries and if they are then that should be a wake up call to all jehovah`s witnesses.. if they are not then that should be an even bigger wake up call to all jehovah`s witnesses.

  the bible has never been altered in 2000 years under the direction of holy spirit.

  I have been around K Halls for more than 50 years. Believe me, the KH libraries don't get much hammer. I have never seen anyone pick up a book ancient or modern.

  We don't have the leaflets yet. When weget them I am going to really whip up a storm of anticipation to the best of my ability to everyone I meet. The more people get excited, the bigger the anti-climax.

  there are many new posters here, and i'm very interested to learn why you chose your screen names.. .

  one book i read, the mists of avalon, was very important to me.

  among the main characters was merlin, who in the book, was called "taliesen".

  Slidin Fast, not too subtle - there is nothing like being obvious. I suppose it could have been something to do with winter sports.

  J Hover - love it. What about J Edgar Hover.

  What was the correct protocol for first name/last name usage from the platform?

  by Amelia Ashton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some brothers at my last kh just could not pronounce the surnames of other members of our congregation especially african and dutch surnames so they used their first name or an abbreviated version of their first name.. i was wondering why we weren't all called by our first names?

  much more friendly.

  the only time my surname is used outside the kh is by strangers or authority figures so why the use of surnames from the platform by people who would at all other times be using your first name?.

  Most entertaining platform misdeed.

  2. experiences

  many years ago before assembly halls we used to hire large halls for circuit assemblies.

  the public talk, always after lunch on the sunday was always the big (though boring) event.

  the chairman sat on the stage all the time whilst the speaker for the hour long talk droned on.

  Another one. I don't want to mock those with diabilities but this was squirmingly, hideously funny.

  A brother was up to give his bible reading but he had a terrible stammer. Try as he might he couldn't get through the first word. The congregation sat in sympathetic embarrassment. The time was up, the buzzer went and the poor bro got off the platform.

  The school overseer got up, he had a terrible stammer. Try as he might he could not get through the first word. I don't know to this day how the meeting got finished.

  I tell this story with fond memories of these brothers, I think if they were around they would have a wry smile at what happened that night.

  There is a protocol, strictly layed down. Baptised people should be addressed as Bro. this (surname) Sis. that. unbaptised studies Mr. this Mrs. that. Never first names except for children.

  This was enforced even in the groups where the practise had always been to use first names. Many group leaders though in a slightly rebellious way ignored this instruction from the FDS.

  I don't remember any scriptural basis for this. Oh! of course not, silly me. Why would I expect that?
