They really should get themselves a bit more educated. They forget that Candice is à real person and the accusations they are making are slanderous which is illegal. The mods should be removing those comments at the very least. -

From the website is this statement
How We Got Started
Kingdom Prints was formed out of a desire to assist Jehovah's people in our preaching work by providing Public Witnessing Artwork and supplies. After serving at Bethel in Brooklyn from 1999 - 2013 this seemed a practical way to continue serving, while covering my material needs. In early 2014 many brothers lost access to affordable displays. I've heard of some paying $30 to $80 per display from local printing and office supply stores. Our goal is to provide high quality at a fair price until Jehovah makes other arrangements
Seems that the WTBTS which prides itself in being a large printing establishment can't manage to keep up with the chariot.
Here's their statement about copyright

A relatively new JW term - "Given Ones"
by Listener ini apologize if this has already been addressed.. i'm just having a look over at jw talk and came across a very interesting thread talking about the terms used within the organization, it is a real eye opener.
for instance, they no longer use the term society because to non believers it looks too cultish and implies that they may be secretive.
funny thing is that reading the whole thread makes them look so cultish and shows their secretive behaviour because the keep being told by the higher ups that there are more changes to come.

Thanks fast Jehu, looks like Beggar of the Spirit quoted directly from that source but did not acknowledge where it came from. -

I don't think there are enough brothers for them to select from who are anointed. They have much better pickings if they can include the other sheep.
Another possibility is that all who claim they are anointed are now born after 1935. It was after that year that an individual would have to declare that they were personally chosen. The GB members know it is all nonsense and have to be very careful who they pick.

This thread was started last year so some may already be familiar with the term.
On this thread they discuss the new term 'given ones'. Here is how they define it
<<Given One is a term that is being associated to the "other sheep" elders that will take lead of the Organization after all anointed are gone, that is, after the GT but before Battle of Arm, all anointed will join their King in the heavenly Kingdom, therefore, Organizational leadership will transfer to the Given Ones... note the Bethel speakers at the International Conventions this year >>
Beggar of the Spirit goes into a long explanation regarding the term
http://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/15723-keeping-up-with-currentnew-terms-adjustments-should-we/page-3
<<When someone speaks about the "Given Ones" today it is a scriptural term for those brothers today who are not anointed(Other Sheep) but have a role directly assisting the "Faithful & Discreet Slave"(as we now understand this referring to the Governing Body/Anointed at Headquarters).
So to clarify, we have 1000s & 1000s of elders worldwide, but out of all the elders worldwide some have been chosen for weighty responsibilities assisting Jesus' Anointed Brothers.>>
He goes on to explain how there were Nethinim men who were given more responsibilities in assisting the priests with the temple work (because their numbers were reducing). Another example of 'chosen ones' were a group of non Israelites singled out being the sons of the servants of Solomon.
He then explains one of their roles
<<At the world headquarters of the Society, under the direction of “the faithful steward” and its Governing Body, capable men receive training to help in preparing spiritual food supplies.
(Luke 12:42) >>
Also included are COs and DOs serving on Branch Committees, people who operate Bethel homes and factories, those that oversee the construction of halls/branch's.
He states that the anointed on earth must decrease and the other sheep would increase and says
<<This gives us confidence that as God’s people “come out of the great tribulation,” there will be experienced men—“princes”—prepared to take the lead among the other sheep.—Revelation 7:14; Isaiah 32:1; compare Acts 6:2-7>>
So apparently God, I mean the GB, has already chosen those that will take the lead after they are gone. Amazing, God is capable of destroying thousands on earth but cannot appoint those he wants to lead, it is a legacy that will be left to man from the Governing Body.
It appears that they are doing this because they want to promote these guys above the 11,000 (minus 7 GB members) by identifying a new class of people. They are just getting more and more absurd with their teachings.

Elder Using Innuendos at Every Single Opportunity
by Tempest in a Teacup inthere's this elder in my hall.
in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.
he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.

Sounds like he has all the makings of a CO, he's trying to put himself on the same pedestal. -

Gifts from my old hall..
by Garrett inhey guys,.
so, it seems the hall i used to attend before my latest one got to hearing that i "disappeared".
so today, i went to the post office to pick up a package.... i decided to try to face reality and open it... what i found were multiple letters and wrapped gifts.

Listener
All but one person would have been prompted to contribute to this.
They are against giving Birthday presents because it gives too much attention to the one person so I wonder what is different about this package?

Memorial Date this year, why so far out ?
by Phizzy inwe have debated for many a long year on jwn about the "proper" date for the passover/memorial and my conclusion is that jw's get it all wrong for a number of reasons, but as the gospels are contradictory, nobody can say for sure.. most years they are close to the time by a day or so, signalled by the full moon occurring about then.. i believe this year they have chosen saturday april 11th.. this is a full week, near enough, away from the full moon.. what has gone on with their calculation ?.

Since the only instruction in the bible is to do this 'often', any date would not be wrong but doing it once a year is not often. -
