When this Bible was first published, the Watchtower Corporation (or should I just say Frederick Franz?) had already been publishing several books and Watchtower articles that contained the Masonic phrase "New World Order". It became the catch phrase that would also be frequently heard in conversations between JWs. However, eventually many JWs began to write the Society to question the use of this Masonic phrase, so this catch phrase later evolved into "New Order", then "New System of Things", then just "New System". But the name "New World Translation" is based on the Freemason's phrase "New World Order".

Why do they call it the New World Translation?
by Tameria2001 indoes anyone know why the watchtower named their bible the new world translation of the holy scriptures?
it's been awhile since i have even had any of their books in my home, and most of the time i don't think about it.
i don't know why, but when i think of that title, the phrase new world order keeps popping up in my mind..

People who pioneer on government assistance
by ilikecheese ini had a chat with my boyfriend about this, and he said that he knows quite a few pioneers who are capable of working but prefer to pioneer with government assistance.
his thought was, "well, it's kind of bad, but at least they're doing something useful/good with their time.
" i know from reading this board that it's a pretty widespread thing.

Shirley... that is rare. Most elders are happy to show the CO how many pio-sneers they have in their congo while hiding the fact that some may be getting by on workmen's comp or other state-funded benefits... In my ex-congo, there is elder/pioneer who is on workmen's comp, yet he frequently performs cleaning duties at assemblies and garden work at the KH...

You guys are all missing the point here. What the writer is trying to say in this article is that when a fig is cut open a certain way, it will have the appearance of an uncircumcised vagina (if you have an uncircumcised heart)...

What was the recent change made regarding baptisms?
by Witness My Fury injust saw a post by splash on the commision transcript thread: (pasted below).
we had a talk at our hall recently, basically saying that there have been lots of letters written to the uk branch, questioning and complaining about a new change introduced for the baptisms at the sad and ca.. the talk did not try to reason, it did not try to explain.. the talk was "do as you are told, don't question what you are told".. we were told to do as the song instructs us "listen, obey and be blessed".. we were told that this change was from jehovah so keep up with his chariot.. i think this talk was given in quite a few locations around the country.. what was that all about please?.

Ray P... you're right! ... those Secretaries don't want a shit storm when the CO arrives and finds low hours or missing hours on those congo reports... They'll fudge the numbers however they need to just to get the heat off of them... Then they might pray to Jehovah for forgiveness or simply "reason it away" like they're trained to do with everything else...

New arrangement for June...
During Saturday morning Field Service activities, publishers may now count up to 30 minutes for time spent drinking coffee at Starbucks or Dunkin Doughnuts as long as they have at least two magazines visible at all times. These magazines may be held in one hand while drinking your coffee with the other hand. Also, these magazines may not be more than 2 months old. Alternatively, you may wish to have Bible discussions with your car group while having coffee at these establishments as long as this conversation can be heard at the next table or tables. It will be a conscience matter whether you believe the next table has heard your theocratic conversation sufficiently to count 30 minutes of time. If you have any questions about this loving arrangement by the Faithful and Discreet Slave, please speak to your congregation's sevice overseer.

A New Video - Helping kids get ready for service
by sosoconfused inhttp://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/lets-go-in-service/.
it all seems so playful and cutsie wootsie to an insider i suppose, i am seeing posts all over facebook about how this is just what my kid needs.. this is truly proper food at the proper time blah blah blah blomit blomit vomit vomit... the funniest part is however is that it cuts out at the end by saying "let's practice what you are going to say".. .
why not make the video longer and discuss how you can get an idea for a 6 year old on how to talk to a grown person about how they are going to die unless you study the bible with me..

Has Your Heart and Mind Changed About Hiring JWs To Fill Job Openings?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inif you own a company or small business, will you hire a jw over a non-jw?
did you find jws more productive than non-jws and more honest and outgoing for your business expansion?
the watchtower tries to state that jws are in high demand because of their honesty, you think the world is smarting up and realizing they are just regular people who follow men?

I supervise a JW employee who used to request permission to go assemblies. After he found out that I no longer go to meetings, he began to call in sick to go to assemblies and other dub events, parties, etc.. he has the worst attendance record of all employees

Actually, that goes against Jesus' strict instructions given to the Watchtower in 1943 (see The Watchtower, July 1, 1943)
The Lord breaks down our organization instructions further and makes them more practicable buy further instructing us through his "faithful and wise servant." He says, 'Let us assign the field, the world, to special pioneers, regular pioneers and companies of Jehovah's witnesses in an orderly way, sufficient for everyone to thoroughly witness therein, and let us place upon each one the responsibility of caring for the new World interests in these respective assignments. He says the requirements for special pioneers shall be 175 hours and 50 back-calls per month, which should develop into a reasonable number of studies; and for regular pioneers 150 hours and as many back-calls and studies as can be properly developed during that time. And for company publishers he says, 'Let us make a quota of 60 hours and 12 back-calls and at least one study a week for each publisher.' These directions come to us from the Lord through his established agency directing what is required of us; and, for those who really love the Lord are are guided by his counsel, that is a reasonable service requirement. This expression of the Lord's will should be the end of all controversy. It is for your good that these requirements are made; for thereby you are enable to prove your integrity and magnify the Lord's name.
