Orchestral Accompaniment for Singing at Congregation Meetings

by pixel in

to all congregationsre: orchestral accompaniment for singing at congregation meetings.

dear brothers:.

many will find that the newly composed orchestral recordings are more inspiring andconducive to our worship than is piano music alone.

Thanks, PIXEL.

I love how apostates are more informed than the rank/file.

_Morpheus: No, I could care less about my record. I know it sounds cliche, but I'm asking for a friend. (lol) She wants to hire an attorney and everything. She's after her "file." Not just her publisher card.

I told her she's wasting her time. That I believe those files are protected under the first amendment and she won't be able to get them in the US.

Specific Comments By R&F About May Broadcast

by freemindfade in

i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!

but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.

i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

Just got done talking with a friend of mine. Her family are still in.

Here's what she said her mom's reaction was to the video: "I'm never giving them another dime."

For those of you on mobile:

Should publishers make extensive use of the Internet to witness to or to study with strangers living in another country?
Some publishers have used the Internet to obtain Bible studies in lands where our work is restricted or where there are few publish- ers. In some cases, good results have been achieved. However, there are dangers when publishers participate in e-mail exchanges or chat room discussions with strangers. (See the July 2007 Our Kingdom Ministry, p. 3.) While the intent is to reach honesthearted ones with the Kingdom message, such dis- cussions may lead a brother or a sister into contact with bad association, including apos- tates. (1 Cor. 1:19-25; Col. 2:8) Furthermore, in lands where the Kingdom work is restrict- ed or under ban, correspondence might be monitored by the authorities. Such commu- nication could endanger the local brothers and sisters. Therefore, publishers should not go online to seek out people from another country with whom to share the good news.
Unless directed otherwise by the local branch office, if we witness informally to a stranger who is visiting from another coun- try, we should not try to cultivate his in-
terest after he returns home. Instead, we can show him how he can use jw.org to obtain additional information or how he can con- tact the local branch office. We can also en- courage him to visit a Kingdom Hall near his home. Of course, there are no Kingdom Halls in some countries. If he wishes to be visit- ed by Witnesses from his area, we should fill out a Please Follow Up (S-43) form and give it to the secretary, who will forward it using jw.org. The branch office that oversees the work in the country where the interested per- son lives is familiar with the unique circum- stances there and will be in the best position to provide spiritual help.—See the June 2014 Our Kingdom Ministry, p. 7, and the Novem- ber 2011 Our Kingdom Ministry, p. 2.
If a person we are currently calling on moves to another country or if we are cur- rently studying with a person in another land whom we know only through the Inter- net, we should follow the direction outlined above. However, we may continue to culti- vate the interest until the person is contact- ed by the local publishers. Nevertheless, if he lives in a land where our work is restrict- ed or banned, great caution should be used when Bible topics are discussed by letter, tele- phone, or electronic means.—Matt. 10:16.
