google_ad_section_start i can't verify the authenticity of this information as i have not personally attended.
however this is what is posted on another site.. friday:.
If there is a NWT to be released, I hope that it is not a bigger Book, than the current size of the latest version.
It seems that alot of the Bethel speakers are using the larger print Bibles when they have a speaking assignment. I hate big bibles.
We have enough to carry in our briefcases as it is.
just a quick overview of some new light that is coming our way, forgive my posting via my cellphone.
audience is given ten questions and we have receved anwsers to r questions.. .
"we are stealing from jehovah, if we are worrying about problems in our life, congregation, or employment.
Sounds like the speaker stole from the story of, "Jack and the Beanstock".
I knew David, and Linda when they served in our circuit.
He didn't partake of the emblems, at 17. He married, and some time after that he received the Heavenly Calling.
He is very intellegent, and I do appreciate him as a speaker.
He stated at one of the Annual meetings, in a talk, " The members of the GB do not all agree has about everything, but it is in the spirit of love that they continue to uphold decisions" He has a great deal of loyalty to the arrangement, and I think he dyes his hair.

hello mrs anderson.
Hi Barb, and your husband (sorry don't know his name)
I'm in the faith, but can appreciate your courage to speak on things that should be open.
I strongly believe in Honesty, and integrity. I would really appreciate it when someone admits that they were wrong, but that takes humility which is lacking unfortunately among the leaders.
You have brought some valuable information forward, and I know that it will be recorded for the History books.
Some will missunderstand you and through their ignorance will condemn you as they have condemned all courageous people who choose to speak out.
All the best,
QB
i am reading old awakes!
at the moment from the link that was posted recently and it's pretty surreal.
check out this paragraph on page 16 of the january 8th magazine "what a man!
This cow thing doesn't do much to improve the mood. Guess I'm not a bull.
the year was 1969.. i had just spent my 2 years fulfilling my "neutrality" obligations to jehovah's organization during the viet nam war by going in to federal prison.. i thought i could use my parole to get my life together.. getting a job, saving some money, buying a car and getting a place to live didn't seem like radical or worldly ideas to me.. i guess i was pretty surprised when i walked in to the kingdom hall where i had not set foot since 1967.. .
instead of a homecoming i was greeted by----the congregation overseer (the pre-elder days).. in his hot little hand was the pioneer application form.
he handed it to me saying, "i know you'll want to continue your serving jehovah full time!".
That's awful, Terry.
I knew some American brothers during that time. I think they told me they had the option to become a full time minister (Pioneer) and they wouldn't be drafted. This choice increased the Regular Pioneer stat's during the Viet Nam era.
I know of some that escaped into Canada, and continued to live here to avoid the draft. Some pioneered. I couldn't understand that we would ok them because we accepted their Pioneer application while they were illegal aliens in Canada. On the other hand we had illegal aliens from third world countries that were trying to break free from poverty. Those ones we black listed, because we thought that was materialistic. They would never qualify for cong duties.

bYes, this does bring memories.
I'm from Canada, but do remember those crazy 70's. I somehow enjoyed the pioneering, though.
I know that the American pioneers increased to avoid the draft to Viet Nam.
But, really, would you want to be in that Viet Nam war? In the weird crazy Franz's frenzie, didn't it shelter you?
argghh ....it is the most unfriendly site ever.

Who would of thought that the Search field would be useless for this, and you really had to hit the "Lookup button".

did anyone hear about this story?
this lady is 70, and has not done it yet.
now she thinks it's time, but she doesn't believe in premarital marriage.
I knew of a 60 year old virgin. He lived and cared for his mother until she died.
Then he married a women, who wasn't a virgin (she had been married in the past, but devorced).
Thank goodnes one of them were trained.
