I know it's not the subject of this thread, but I also actually have access to the 1969 bound volume that contains the article on not growing old in this system of things. It belongs to my dad. Read that passage myself a few weekends ago.

friends

so i joined very recently and began posting and commenting without a formal intro.

been reading for a while, decided it was time to jump in.

mentally i am completely cleansed of this thing, but still have to maintain a minimal involvement for spouse and family.

cappytan

Just realized I never gave you a proper welcome.

I see that we're in similar circumstances.

If it weren't for my wife, I would just fade completely and stop attending immediately.

My family and mom & Dad would still talk to me so long as I wasn't DA'd or DFd.

Welcome!

Oh Happy Happy Joy!

MEMO

From: The Governing Body

To: The Music Director

RE: Lack of joy in the congregations.

MESSAGE: Please write more songs about joy and happiness. If the congregations sing enough about happiness and joy, then they will think they are happy and joyful and that will solve all our issues.

Please be assured of our warm Christian love.

Your Brothers (Christ's brothers too!),

Lyrics below:

What a joy to teach Jehovah’s sheep
And to see how they have grown.
We have seen how he has guided them
As they’ve made the truth their own.
(CHORUS)
Jehovah, may you hear our prayer
And keep them in your watchful care.
In Jesus’ name, for them we plead: May they succeed;
May ev’ry one of them stand firm.
Ev’ry day we said a prayer for them,
As their faith was under test.
We made time to teach and care for them;
They’ve grown strong, and they’ve been blessed.
(CHORUS)
Jehovah, may you hear our prayer
And keep them in your watchful care.
In Jesus’ name, for them we plead: May they succeed;
May ev’ry one of them stand firm.
May they all maintain their confidence,
Trust in God and in his Son.
Through endurance and obedience,
May their race for life be won.
(CHORUS)
Jehovah, may you hear our prayer
And keep them in your watchful care.
In Jesus’ name, for them we plead: May they succeed;
May ev’ry one of them stand firm.

Does anyone have the Awake! January 1 1989? - 20th Century Quote

by jwfacts in

the awake!

january 1 1989 contains the quote on page 12 "he was laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.

" this was later changed in the bound volume and on the cd library to "in our day.".

cappytan

By all means, scans of magazines are great.

But video of a physical magazine or bound volume being opened and then showing the passage has more effect, in my opinion.

It's easy to photoshop scans of magazines. Not so easy at all to alter a video of a physical copy.

_Morpheus: I appoligize, i have no idea why the year of 1969 is stuck in my head for this as opossed to 1989....

I think this is why you were thinking of 1969.

Awake! Magazine, 1969 May 22 p.15
"If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. ... Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in highschool and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!"
