that's right, millions now living are living during the best of times for humanity.

but aren't these critical times hard to deal with?

Of course it's alright to take cannabis as food just like the tobacco plant.

.

.

Tobacco addicts cannot Scripturally defend themselves by arguing that God created the tobacco plant and that it is part of the “vegetation” that God gave mankind for “food.” (Gen. 1:29) Tobacco users do not use it as “food” by eating the green leaves as a salad or cooking it like spinach.

ATJ >> Guess that means the other rumor about the CO arrangement going away from a few years ago is officially debunked. ;)

The trend was correct - the rest is just letter scrabble. . . . . DOs | DO | D :: C | CO | COs.

Watchtower's "First GB Kings" rule!

" i have replied "well, you remember we have often been told to study and research our old 'theocratic history' and 'old gems' of material?....

now though i have been challenged to prove where this has been printed!.

Now though I have been challenged to prove where this has been printed!

.

Just unbelievable, those slackers! Remind them what their standards are supposed to be, then pump them for information.

Perhaps they are exerting themselves too vigorously studying that new "Flock"-Book by itself.

.

Since theocracy is God rule, effective elders are thoroughly familiar with God’s will. (...) Elders too need to study and consult the Scriptures regularly and to be thoroughly familiar with Bible literature published by the faithful and discreet slave. (2 Timothy 3:14, 15) This includes the Watchtower and Awake! magazines and other publications* (...).

*Among such publications is the book “Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock,” which contains Scriptural guidelines and is provided for appointed congregation overseers, or elders.

w94 1/15 p. 17 par. 9

.

Elders especially have a responsibility in this regard when they teach the congregation. Whether conducting the Congregation Book Study or the Watchtower Study, giving public talks, or serving in any other teaching capacity, elders should be thoroughly familiar with their material and be ready to give attention to their “art of teaching” as they convey solid spiritual food to the congregation.—2 Timothy 4:2.

World-wide campaign in August 2014:

We are pleased to inform you that the Governing Body. . .

For example, all qualified publishers will be able to serve as auxiliary pioneers in August with either a 30-hour or 50-hour requirement. All publishers and families are encouraged to begin making plans now to have a full share in the ministry during the month of August!

It's holiday season and for sure there is a big drop in hours in July. So, why not make the sheep feel special by having their names announced from the platform!

A typical familiarization process. Soon, the sheeple will not see an announcement of that sort of importance at all.

Going one way with this - and that is down.
