Funny grammar error in German Watchtower
by processor inthey seem to have laid off their proofreaders.
in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.
the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

Teddy Hero Worship Continues -- Sept 15 Study Edition Bio on Melita Jaracz
by LostGeneration invery weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.
basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

I don't recall other bios of former GB wives written in the WT, although I could just have a foggy memory.
Audrey Hyde (nee Mock widowed Knorr)
The life story of Gertrud Poetzinger appeared in the August 1, 1984 issue of The Watchtower

Finally terms make sense:
a circuit (or part of it) attends a circuit assembly with the circuit overseer present and alternating visits by the district overseer and a branch representative
a district convention was not always attended by the district overseer and never assembled exactly all the circuits forming a district visited by the same district overseer (with some exceptions in smaller countries perhaps), so speaking of regional conventions makes sense
a zone overseer never visited a zone but got a yearly appointment to visit a number of branches, so it is overdue to abandon the use of the terms "zone" and "zone overseer"
it seems branch visits by headquarter representatives will no longer include a special meeting for a selected few, but will be transmitted to all congregations in the branch territory, so the lacking day of the circuit assembly will be compensated for
and/or the agm may become a regular feature for all to attend...
so not surprising but quite reasonal decisions

So, now we know the first release at this year's district/international conventions:
T -36
As T-30, 31, 32, 33 and 34 were duly released at last year's conventions, later came T-35 (aka Kingdom News 38) and now T-37 has been announced to be released in June...
the missing tract will probably be shown at the conventions...

Weird rumor I heard - JWs in Sweden
by sir82 ini heard this from a "friend of a friend of a friend...." at least 3 or 4 intermediate steps before i heard it.. so it is likely distorted, but i'll throw it out there in case someone in or near sweden can clarify it.. .
i heard that the wts branch in sweden instructed all jws there to "get rid of" all (empahasized all) of their printed literature, and rely exclusively on the content of jw.org for their literature.. .
that's the entire extent of it - i also got a few speculations about "what it might mean" (the society is expecting persecution!

List of Branch Offices and Country Offices of Jehovah's Witnesses
by cedars ini'm trying to put together a comprehensive master list of watch tower society branch offices that corresponds roughly with the figure published in the worldwide report.. i feel it would be useful to monitor the number and location of existing branch offices, because i believe the distribution of branch offices worldwide is a good indicator of the society's financial wellbeing.
we now seem to be entering a period of branch office closures, with last year seeing an unprecendented 16% reduction in branch office numbers over the year before.
it will be interesting to see how things develop moving forward, but i'm hoping that by keeping a list of the offices we will be better placed to keep track of the "retreat" if branch office numbers continue to dwindle.. here we go.... .

January 2012 WT Study edition on PDF pulled from JW.org website
by bnybyt inthe wt study edition is getting a facelift for the new year.. the january issue had been posted on jw.org but.... the boes hadn't received notice by letter of such a change.. the wts likes to play up every opportunity to have a new release.. this time the jw.org techies jumped the gun and went on to post.
the issues for download according to their established schedule.. unfortunately, they went ahead of the fds/gb who too late .
realized the cat was out of the bag, sort of saying.. well, it got pulled off the website, for now at least.. what's so secretive about it?.

drama dc 2009
by inbetween inthe drama was really ridicolous, man, but i noticed, in some of the jw objected to it as well,.
first of all my wife, she said it doesnt feel right, and she strongly disliked the music (she has no idea of my being at this forum btw).
then some friends, who also complained about it, but just to us, because they know, we do not judge them for their questions and almost doubts on some things.... i m sure there were more, but they just dont think out loud, and keep it to themselves.... anybody similar experiences ?.
