They stopped using the term 'New Order' in the publications (except when quoting from other sources) around 1986. 'New System' is still used, but not nearly as much as 'New World'.

"New Order", "New World Order" systematically removed from WTS
by EndofMysteries inhas anyone else caught on to this?
i remember as a kid, 80's, it was called the "new system", then late 80's, early 90's, changed to new world order.
it's interesting that governments, conspiracy theories, news, etc, are all calling the one world government, the new world order.

Interesting about what happened about Lester Jarka. I do recall hearing the name Keith Kelle - I think he was a CO and maybe even a DO at one time. I knew his father, Irving Kelle, when he was alive. I think Irving used to be in the now defunct Nashville Illinois congregation.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but I wonder if Kelle Jarka is any relation to Lester Jarka. If anybody here is from the St. Louis area, they may remember that name. Lester was a heavy hitter in the Metro East area for many years throughout the 70's and 80's, featured on EVERY assembly and convention. Then, in the early 90's, he 'stepped down' and disappeared. Seemed like a nice enough guy, but never knew what happened to him.

Interesting....
In my old hall, the telephone tie-in consisted of a speaker, a twisted wire coat hanger, and a telephone. When the shut-in called the hall to listen in, I would hang the phone receiver over the coat hanger so it dangled right next to the speaker - just close enough to let the shut-in listen at home.
Kingdom Hall? IT Department? Those two phrases don't belong in the same sentence...

I've been on here for 8 years, since the summer of 2001. I just don't post very often.
Before that, I was on H2O since the fall of 1996, posting as Brother Garfield. I didn't post there very often either.
Before that, there was the AJWR board "free-for-all" and the short-lived "Watchtower Unplugged" in 1995 and 1996. Anybody remember those?

The Book Of Revelation - Book Study
by ablebodiedman ini understand that the revelation "climax" book is being studied again.. if you are a jehovah's witness out here in the internet wilderness there is a unique opportunity to.
measure what you are learning in the "climax" book against truths that exist outside of the organization.. i invite you to take some time to do that.
there are three short video's which examine the entire book using.

Sorry, you're about 3 1/2 years late with this post. The Revelation book was studied for a record 4th time around 2006 or so. But this is 2009, and no plans have been publicized to study it again. There are several other books that will likely be studied before Revelation (if it ever gets pulled out of the closet again) - "Be My Follower" and the new "Bear Thorough Witness" are two that come to mind.
