  it's no secret that i do not study for meetings, prepare for failed circus, conduct "mormon night", or read the bible much or pray anymore.

  even so, i do keep a close eye on the goings on in dub-land.

  i just noticed something interesting on the front page of the latest km.

  Hi Data-Dog!

  "nwt" is an abbreviation like "cl" (Draw close to Jehovah) or "bh" for Bible teach book.

  DoC: The article to "love" DF people will be in the Public Edition.

  The article to treat DF people as tho dead will be in the Study Edition.

  On the one hand I also think that the society is - and will be - "doubble-faced". But on the other hand nearly all their publication are meanwhile "public", also the study-WTand the KM.

  So they have to choose a different way to promote their real opinion. But I don't know, how they will do it.

  Just thinking...

  Only a short few years ago electronic devices at the Kingdom Hall were taboo.

  Now it is taboo to say that "only a short few years ago electronic devices at the Kingdom Hall were taboo."

  Asking for confirmation: Bethel factory in Germany

  in january 2015 my devout and longtime 'in the truth' jw relatives (50+ years) went to the german bethel factory in selters.

  they were shocked seeing an near empty factory floor and were told that some printing presses supposedly have been sold to 'worldy' companies.i got to hear the stunning admission out of their mouths: "we left with the impression they are closing up shop".just whoa!

  to me it sounds like a firesale - "because everything must go" (die hard iv).. has anyone else seen the factory in that condition?

  In a letter to all JW´s who have spent money, Selters reports that they have printed from the "Life big questions"-tract about 18 million copies in German language and from all tracts together (also in German) about 244 millions copies in the last service year.

  Perhaps, if a married JW brother is not a MS or elder, there is now a "biblical" reason for divorce. His wife could be free to marry a guy who is MS/elder...:-)

  dear brothers:.

  re: personal literature supply.

  Therefore, reducing congregation and personal supplies will allow revised publications to be introduced into the field more quickly. In this regard, we are pleased to announce that revised editions of What Does the Bible Really Teach? and “Keep Yourselves in God’s Love” will be released in the future. Recent adjustments related to doctrinal matters will be reflected in the revised editions. Also, material in the revised books will be updated to contain quotations and references from the revised New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures . In view of these upcoming revisions, it would be good to give special attention to reducingthe supply of the books that may be on hand.

  This part is missing in the German letter. So it might be that the books are as usual released first in English because the German revision of the NWT isn´t ready at the moment.
