dear randall.
good morning!.
here is the daniel of brazil (former bethel).. this week at the forum of former jehovah's witnesses had an interesting news!
Well, if there are any changes, it will be followed with an announcement that we can't accept it untll the new Service year, in September 2013.
So if it is a change in how you talk to your DF'd relatives, blood doctrine, neutrality, birthday celebrations, pant suits for sisters, beards for men, you may be punished until September 2013.
All of these will be replaced with an additional night for family worship, too.
if you have any of the following symptoms you may want to consider the golden retirement plan offered by the watchtower society of jehovah's witnesses.. .
1.it's boring!!!
every "new" book reads just exactly like the old ones.
Good Topic.
But, ever notice how many seniors are at the KH's. I think that they come because they are lonely, and this is the only place for them to get some attention. The JW's are good at recognizing their elderly that way.
There is the odd nudge about that 96 year old auxilliary pioneering.
last month i heard a talk from a c.o.
he mentioned that the door to door service will come to an end.
he said that jehovah will tell us to stop it, eventually.
Thanks for your comments, friends.

Last month I heard a talk from a C.O. He mentioned that the door to door service will come to an end. He said that Jehovah will tell us to stop it, eventually. The preaching as we know it may change from it's current format.
Any body else hear that?

Yes, I get it. The fly wore out the Sun, theory=Eternity. What fool doesn't get that?
Some will spend an eternity with Jehovah, and some will just have to suck it up on the earth for an eternity. It all makes sense.
I didn't hear that illustration in my hometown.....during my DA. This was A. Morris concept.
I really don't fake illness, KS. I do have a legitamate health reason to slow down.
I know exactly how you feel, COBE. I care too much for my family to let this tear them apart. It's better to slow down, and blame it on your heath.
if you look on page 10, "what is god's purpose for the earth?," you'll see an illustration of adam in the garden--with a belly button!!
what were the wt artists thinking????.
i'd post a scan but, alas, i'm unable to in my present locale..
Well, that is a very good find.
I believe that we finally have discovered a weakness in the proof reading dept. You may see this belly button disapear in future productions of this brochure.
Very funny Billy, I can't beleive that we would have thought that way back then.
as of 5 years ago in my congregation, the "faithful slave" was rarely mentioned in talks, prayers, etc.
usually it was all about jehovah, and jesus got his token phrase at the end of a prayer with "in jesus name, amen".. now, in the past couple years i've noticed, especially since the elders have gone to the elders school, almost everytime an elder prays, and in many of the talks, there is mention of the faithful slave, organization, or governing body.
"thank you jehovah for giving us your organization, which provides us food at the proper time", "how thankful we are that the faithful slave provides..", etc.. for any elders who went to the elders school, did they specifically say to build more appreciation in the organization, faithful slave, etc.
The GB has done a lot to toot their horns especially since recent years.
I do remember the days of Knorr, and Franz, when very little was heard of them except at the annual District Conventions. I remember seeing Grant Suitor coming to speak to us in the East of Canada, in a very friendly, humble way.
Now a days, I don't like the image of the GB. They have tried to elevate their authority above everyone. Too big. Can't be questioned, even when they are wrong.
