Some view it as a sin to miss the memorial, because being there to touch the emblems affirms your gratitude for the ransom...

The Congregational Make Up Research Project: WTB&TS wants to know you.
by oppostate inwe have a bethel speaker on the english side.
they're pretty regular up here since it's only three and a half hours drive from nyc.. but this is a special kind of visit.. it turns out he's involved in doing a special research project and the christian congregation of jw's wants to know us better.. in order for the broadcasting to address issues more meaningful for families, they want to know the demographic make up of the congregations.. he spoke with the secretary about young single publishers and couples 20-35 y.o.
how are they employed.

Great comments!
It is statistical analysis, and not holy spirit, which determines what topics will be covered in a wt study, which branches will be closed, where to hold international conventions, etc.

Loyalty? Today's WT The RC. It's a fix!
by Slidin Fast intoday's wt has the below scripture as it's theme.
friday of the rc has the same as it's theme.
the silver nwt is alone in using the word loyalty in this verse.

So some are arguing that the ERV and MSG justify the WT "translation." Let's compare them:
ERV: This is what he wants from you: Be fair to other people. Love kindness and loyalty, and humbly obey your God.
MSG: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously.
NWT: And what is Jehovah requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, to cherish loyalty, and to walk in modesty with your God!
Kindness and compassion are something usually expressed to our peers, our neighbors, our children. These words have disappeared from the NWT!
But loyalty, that's expressed to those superior to us: God, Christ and most importantly, the governing body and congregation elders. If you are at the convention this year, watch how they will stress loyalty to the organization and how they use their new tweaked scripture to do it!

Well, I just looked up that scripture at Biblehub and it uses the word loyalty in the original Hebrew. It said, "And humbly covenant loyalty and to love justly."
That's an interlinear, a word for word translation. It doesn't consider multiple-word phrases or context. That's why no bible translation has used "loyalty" in that scripture. If wt is going base their decision to use "loyalty" on this interlinear, that is the epitome of cherrypicking.

My son has a very significant interview today..
by Captain Schmideo2 inhe is just days away from graduation with his bachelor's in english, and today, he has an interview with a recruiter for an agency that help with finding teaching positions in south korea.. i took it upon myself to research the company and his interviewer, and it's been high marks all around on both of them.
so that's a great ease on my mind.i just hope the interview (over the phone) goes well, and results in the next steps to getting a position.my son spent a month in seoul last summer, an loved the place.
he has friends out there as well, including a young man that he attended classes with here in the states, so i think that's a real plus in taking this very giant leap.when i was his age, i was slowly working my way through a two year degree, still living at home, and aspiring to nothing more than a job as a repairman.

Wishing him the best.
Just a tip: have him google "employment contracts in South Korea" so he knows what he's getting into.

Yes, to "love kindness" is absolutely not the same as "cherish loyalty"
It creates a completely different mental picture.
Are we to believe that mankind mistranslated the two things God wants us to do up until watchtower got it right in the year 2013?

Prince was on the board of directors for the WTS
by Barrold Bonds ini was talking with a friend of mine who knows a few people in the home department at bethel.
apparently, prince was, as i noted in the title, on the board of directors.
he apparently was sort of a silent partner or advisor in the whole thing.

Actually, Prince was one in a group that remixed the kingdom melodies. The gb was not impressed and asked that they destroy all the recordings. It was posted in this forum years ago.
