by zound inhi guys, i'm new to the site.. sorry to bring up an old topic.

The letter above from WT to the branch offices says:
"Still, the Criteria for Association of NGO's - at least in their latest version - contains language that we cannot subscribe to."
This does not say that the language changed, only that in the latest version they decided they could no longer subscribe to it. The latest version could have been in existence since prior to 1991, which is just what the UN themselves claim to be the case.
It is worded in such a way as to make the reader think there was a change to the Terms of Association.

Mind you, I'd better not tell the elders I watched it:
*** g83 7/8 p. 27 Christ or E.T.? ***
"Despite its seemingly Christian message, however, the movie subtly condones youthful misbehavior. In an early scene we find youths playing “Dungeons and Dragons” in a smoke-filled room with a lighted cigarette on the table. Later on, when E.T. gets drunk sampling beer, and Elliott in telepathic sympathy feels the effects, it is all portrayed as something cute. Further, some of the language used by these children is gross profanity. This, along with the supernatural aspects of the movie, has bothered many Christians. Whether parents or their children see this movie is, of course, a matter of personal choice."
Oh, hold on, it's personal choice. That's ok then!

*** w87 5/1 p. 24 Looking Back Over 93 Years of Living ***
One Saturday night in the spring of 1913, Albert had gone to bed early in the dormitory of the YMCA, where he was living while working in Chicago. Later, his roommate burst into the room to explain a difficulty. He was invited that night to the home of a Mr. and Mrs. Hindman, and their daughter Nora was to have a girlfriend there at the house. Two girls would be too much for Albert’s roommate to handle by himself. With alacrity, Albert rose to the occasion.

And what's up with the goth guys left foot, it seems to have shifted to the left somehow - those trousers (pants) look odd!
And what's happening underneath the main lady's bag - there's an odd darkness on the lamp post base?
And why is the brother only wearing a cardigan when everyone else is dressed for a winters day with boots, gloves, hats and scarves?
Yes, I think we can safely say it's staged/touched up, but does that detract from the message?

Achieving Reinstatement and then immediately fading
by Tylinbrando inover the past 8 months or so three people i have known since childhood have accomplished a goal of reinstatement back into their congregations after many years of being disfellowshipped primarily so that they could gain their jw family members back and do away with the condemnation of onlookers judging those family members and the contact they have had during those years of being disfellowshipped.. all of these newly reinstated ones immediately began a proper fade.
no meetings, no service, nada.. is this happening everywhere and regularly?.

It's happened in my cong just this year.
A brother came back to the meetings with his family. He got reinstated last year.
This year the whole family have faded.

25 YEARS of compiled yearbook statistics
by 88JM inhello again folks - as promised in my last thread here, i've been working on turning yearbook statistics into excel spreadsheets.. coincidentally, today is my 25th birthday (spare a thought for a fader).. i've now updated the spreadsheet with yearbook data all the way back to 1988 (the year i was born), therefore it now contains 25 years of statistics.. there were a lot of countries changing around and for some it was possible to create a continuation of data.
some are a simple change of name like south-west africa to namibia.
others, for example - in 1993 with czechoslovakia splitting into two countries (czech republic and slovakia) i have added an extra row that provides a continuation of the data, combining czech republic and slovakia back together as if they were still one country.

Sophist,
Average Bible Studies is a figure the Society provides. I guess its how many bible studies were reported in the whole year, divided by 12.
Now you have worked out there was an increase of 3,765,133, work out how many were baptised during that same period, because that should be the increase.
