Looks like in one of the 'comments' at the selling site , the person is complaining because the answers are based on the old NWT and not the current 'new, beautiful version'.

No more literature counters?
by konceptual99 inthere is a thread on jwtalk suggesting that the latest hall designs do not feature a literature desk.
the dubs will pick up gear from a self serve kiosk in the hall, just enough for their immediate needs.. time will tell if this is true but if so then it relfects the reducing emphasis on printed material.
also, i think there is another by product.

In the last congregation I attended in Poland, there was no literature counter. They put your stuff in you little cubby (name labeled) and you picked it up (or didn't). Probably another way for the more holy to judge you - Oh look at that Bro S hasn't picked up his mags in several weeks, he must be weak. We should avoid him.
As opposed to: maybe we should call Bro S. I haven't seen him in a while.
Note: you can't bring their mags to them, they have to pick them up (from what I last heard)...

Dancing with the Stars vs Friday evening service meeting
by FadeToBlack inso funny.
last week (start of new season for dws in poland - apparently still very popular) my wife did not feel so well, so she stayed home.
but, she was well enough to watch the entire show as opposed to going to bed to rest.

ks, I hear you. That is why I can only handle popping in for a few minutes from time to time. Gotta feed the fire. Maybe I should propose some dance lessons (on Friday nights, after the current season of DWTS is over of course). I can tell her I already paid for the lessons up front and we have to go. I know she would really prefer it over another boring meeting. Good exercise too!

US World Power: Time Running Out
by metatron inhttp://www.businessinsider.com/chart-rise-and-fall-of-modern-empires-2014-9.
tick tock...... forget about that daniel image/prophecy stuff.
the process is being accelerated by trying to sanction russia, as they draw closer to china and thereby build an alternative economic system( including a swift banking arrangement of their own).

I hate to break the bad news to you 'Ucantnome' but the british emipire ended some time ago. US is fading fast. Of course, like all empires they don't like to go quietly into the night, so I would expect some major conflicts over access to resources in the near future. They come, they over extend themselves, they go...

So funny. Last week (start of new season for DWS in Poland - apparently still very popular) my wife did not feel so well, so she stayed home. It happens, we are old. But, she was well enough to watch the entire show as opposed to going to bed to rest. Today, when I come home from work (after 7PM) I see the car in the driveway and I know what is going on. She didn't even offer up any excuse and I didn't ask. She had a good meal prepared for me, and we watched the first dance together and discussed it. I'm going back to the house in a few minutes to make her a nice drink to enjoy with the rest of her show and may pop in to ask a few questions from time to time. So far, the score is DWS 2, WT.org 0. Next week should be interesting. I'm betting on 3-0.

Not a chance in hell, Xanthippe. That money is reserved for advancing kindom interests (creating a better country club).

Enjoy it, but don't let the 'fun' part take command. Keep focused, have fun. All things in balance. I got my degree in Computer Science (finally) in 1984 after droppng out in 1977 because of having too much fun.

Still waiting for my prayers to be answered or understanding to be RE-Adjusted!
by NoMoreHustle inso about 2 years ago when i started to feel like something was wrong with the religion (jw cult) i was in, i was told by close friend to just study more & pray incessantly to jehovah!.
well after careful consideration of the steps to re-build my faith in jw cult, i would have to say that after more rigorous study & prayer than ever before in the history of mankind, nothing answered, no new enlightment!.
except for me figuring out that it is a scam!

Not much consolation, but 20 is better than 30+. Get on with it. Still some time to live if you came in early. I'm already in the geezer stage, but at least I am free.

Persecution in Russia. Poland next.
by FadeToBlack inthe wife got back from the meeting last night and told me they watched some video from jw.org about persection in russia.
lots of discussion at the hall about poland being next after ukraine.
she told me she was not going to sign anything renouncing her faith even if she had to go to prison.

@NT: I don't think this was a case of the WTBATS predicting the future. It was just local friends extrapolating as to their response in a similar situation.
@Others: regarding Russia invading anyone, I don't think it will happen. Why bother? They just have to sit back and watch the west implode. It could get interesting if for some reason the gas flowing west gets cut off this winter. I have plenty of firewood stacked, so not an issue of freezing to death for me.
I was going with the idea expressed by LisaRose - using the incident for manipulation of rank and file.

She told me she was not going to sign anything renouncing her faith even if she had to go to prison. I told her I would have no problem signing it if asked. I wasn't interested in going to prison and somebody needs to take care of the dogs. She wasn't amused.
I also tried to tell her that perhaps she wasn't getting a little bit worked up about this and she probably had nothing to worry about for the forseeable future. But she would have none of it. They apparently like to play up the drama of being a persecuted people = proof that they have the truth.
