Although I dont know him he is permanently doing this smiling or grinning from one ear to the other thing into the camera one of both at any scene. Splane calls him a good brother.

Much depends of the new YEARTEXT 2017
"Hope in Jehovah and follow his way"!
that will be pronounced at the annual meeting, if I guess right.
The GB already did much in following this way: Faithfully they built a new HQ in Warwick with The absolute GEM: a Bible exhibition in Warwick that puts Gods name Jehovah in the centerpoint, which will be visitable for tours already in the late spring of 2017.
Let us not listen and waste time with apostates news but follow his way! Cause we know the time is running out and preaching work is soon to be completed. Therefore the efforts and finances have to focused on the essentials. The turkish girl holds her turkish watchtower and will try to preach in Turkey to syrian refugees as we should do also "in the streets of philadelphia".
2017 will be the year of starting tours to Warwick.

Does it not dawn on the cart witnesses?
by jambon1 ini sat in town recently, right in the window of a nice wee pub.
within minutes i realised that i had a perfect view of a jw cart and the two ridiculously dressed jw's (they have absolutely no individuality at all.
what's more, they all look like they're going to a funeral).

On a business trip in an other town (50.000 population) this week I already had three encounters with literature carts at different frequently passed places in the city.
1. On wednesday afternoon: next to a gallery and next to a kiosk at a main access road to the center (a man in a warm suit and his daugther stood in the hot afternoon-sun protecting their eyes with sunglasses and looking at me when I looked at her sunglasses and thought, what if she would be my wife, would I stand here with her and sweat? Impression: Wow there message must be important, if a cool girl stands here
2. On friday morning on a main road next to a farmers market and a discount store.(a young man and an older woman, they were ignored by me, the young man was dresses good. Impression: how clever these jehovahs are everyone who passes by to buy for the weekend can see the trolls.
3. On friday afternoon: i was downright astonished..again, 2 sisters chatting with each other on the main square in front of the town-hall next to a beautiful lantern, bench and flower-boxes. Next to them a cart. Somehow they and the cart fitted to the scenery. Everybody passed by relaxed and looking for a good place in a bar or restaurant or for an ice.
Impression: As if everything went its way while the earthy circles in ordinarity and as if the peaceful world of promenaders was the eternal blessing of god and as if the Jehovas people are part of the ordinary city life, a kind of socially engaged people filling a hole in the religious emptiness.
Last week I had on encounter in front of a metro in the capital too, of course I would never speak to them. Impression: there was such a rush, not really a place for communication.
So at least I noticed that these carts exists and that Jehovahs people starred a tme when I looked at them.
It seems that It is more acceptable for the Jehovahs to use the trolleys than to stand on the street with the watchtower and awake in the hand alone.
Its hard to say how people "put notice" in general, what they think, because the message has changed a little bit from armageddon to family bible study. They will hardly talk about Armageddon to the promenadors first. Some may even look at it positively, a positive social message of hope in a time with horrible news but not looking behind. I think many people are tolerant towards religious groups althoug not interested.

Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too
by UnDisfellowshipped inare jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.
jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.
for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

I am not native speaker - confusing "spell" and "pronounce" belongs to my favourite mistakes for many years.
Although we know quite sure what the name means (likely from old paleo-hebrew verb for exist (hawah/ hayah) and therefore we need not pronounce it to honour his name , for me it remains though a mistery how the pronounciation of such an important name could be lost.
Sadly it is difficult for non-linguists to understand the matter.
If I cant explain such an important subject like the name of God in three sentences its useless time consumption.

The Greatest Story Ever Told (or not)
by Coded Logic inlast year kic 8462852 (tabby’s star) made headlines as a possible - although far fetched - candidate for an alien mega-structure.
while there isn’t yet any evidence of this audacious hypothesis, i thought it would be a good idea to explain why this star is so unique and also give an update on the current science being done to study the star.
aliens or not, it’s a fascinating story.

We have to give up a thought -- that Old Israel was the IDEAL SOCIETY and that each peace of "law" is a fitting principle that cann be applied for all cases.
Deuterononomy 22:28
throughout the Ancient Near East marriage was an economic transaction in which exclusive rights to the sexuality of virgin girls was transferred to the future husband upon payment of the bride price. I suggest that the reason might stem from the ideology propounded by the scribes of Deuteronomy.

An Investigation of the Ideology Behind Deuteronomy 22:12-29
If the woman was not engaged, the rapist was spared for the sake of the woman’s security. Having lost her virginity, she would have been deemed undesirable for marriage—and in the culture of the day, a woman without a father or husband to provide for her would be subject to a life of abject poverty, destitution, and social ostracism. As such, the rapist was compelled to provide for the rape victim for as long as he lived. Thus, far from barbaric, the law was a cultural means of protection and provision.
