dear brothers:.
we are writing as a follow-up to the letters dated january 24, 2014, and march 29, 2014,. to all congregations regarding the adjustments now underway to accelerate construction of king-.
dom halls and assembly halls.. .
I will add the info here in Japan.
Recently, a brother made inquiry to the governmental office about the religious monetary funds.
He got an answer that if you operate the fund which lend money to
several persons or corporations regardless of its interest,
you are required to register and come under the "Money Lending Business Act".
That indicates the possibility of the illegality of WT loan funds here in Japan.
i was listening to arnie gundersun on fairewinds.org.

explaining the situation at fukushima and how the .
I have friends in Fukushima. They are more carm than me (I live in Tokyo)
And my friends who live in far more distant place than me are more concerned than me.
And People abroad tend to be more concerned than people in Japan.
It is ironic to see more distant place, there are greater concern.

WT2013 Nov. 15 p.6
"Satan is merciless and often strikes us
when we are weak. If we are dealing
with illness or are struggling with depression,
for instance, we may begin to
feel that the time we spend in the ministry
each month means very little to God.""Satan would have us
believe that we are worthless."
Who is this Satan?
What is the specific example of Satan's work
to influence the lower time publishers or inactive ones
to think they are worthless?
I already found one example. Is he a Satan or not?
Anthony Morris made a surprise visit to Japan.
He talked to inactive ones who may be dipressed
or be ill. He said that inactive ones will not be saved.
Are there other exemples that Satan made us to evaluate
ourselves on our field reports?
I think there are many satan among JW comunity.
which is more weird ?.
english standard edition or simplified edition?.
instructions we may receive, whether.
Which is more weird ?
English standard edition or simplified edition?
Or they are just the same?

Simplified Edition
(3) At that time, the direction that
you receive from Jehovah’s organization
may seem strange or unusual. But
all of us must be ready to obey any
instructions we may receive, whether
we agree with them or not, because
obeying these instructions will save
our lives.
English Edition
(3) At that time, the lifesaving
direction that we receive from
Jehovah’s organization may not appear
practical from a human standpoint. All
of us must be ready to obey any instructions
we may receive, whether these appear
sound from a strategic or human
standpoint or not.
By the way, Japanese watchtower in this case,
is direct translation from "Simplified" edition.
It sounds like Nazi style of conformity.
he just can't seem to stop himself taunting "these muslims" or "some muslim or other".
among his favourite taunts are:.
"all the world's muslims have fewer nobel prizes than trinity college, cambridge.".
"All the world's Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge."
If Malala, 15 years old muslim girl said the same words, it is not so offensive.
I have heard that Japanese said "Japanese have fewer Nobel Prizes than Americans because our education system is ....."
But if same words came out from Americans, they might be offended.

the society branch.
Anyone can point out the exact phrase what BOE actually said?
I want to know what was said about child abuse AND pioneer applicants in the letter.
Some Japanese witnesses believe that child sexual abuse by JW elders happened only
in the apostates brain. I read that one JW said even Candice Conti Case did
not really exists. For them, apostates comments are all lies.
I need to explain them by using BOE letters and reliable court transcrpts.
So I need exact wording of the BOE letter.
I hope some of you have the letter.
I read these..

you might remember last weekend i posted up some info from my friend that had the opportunity to attend the zone overseer talk in japan.
that thread is here: http://jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/251038/1/hot-off-the-press-zo-talk-in-japan.
well today my friend forwarded me this little gem.
Hi WinstonSmith,
Well, general reaftion here ..
They thought this is just a mistake of Japanese interpreter
or possibly they are willing to accept the encourragement of him
as a word of god.
Some might consider new released Book as "commentary on Matthew"
but its just a matthew in Vertical writing format.
I dont know why . But I think many Japanese witnesses dont want to sell any more "WATCHTOWER"
They will appreciate distributing the bible alone. (offcource the printing cost is a matter for GB)

I heard entire talk in Japan.
GHQ member Anthony Morris released "The Gospel of Matthew"
for Japanese people.
I suppose he will release next time "The Gospel of Matthew 24:45" for us.
Thats everything we need. (´v`)
