maybe you were considered a good example or a picture was needed.. can you give some background of the procedure?
how about the vetting?
if you cannot give away your identity, that is fine.

Just curious!
23 days ago, zeb posted this familiar but ever intriguing thread regarding 1914, the mother of all topics.. put youir [sic] thinking caps on.zeb 23 days ago this was sent to me from doug shields blog.
for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.
the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.
A Jewish year had 12 months of 30 days, however sometimes an 13th month (Ve-adar) was added to make up for the difference with the solar year. So in the end it was almost the same year as we have now.

did you notice the expression "intelligent disobedience" in the febuary 2017 broadcast (at 7:30)?.
it was used with the illustration of a guide dog for blind persons, that sometimes has to disobey it's owner.. what a fine example for us!

..................then proverbs 3:5 could read thus: "trust in the governing body with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.
" .
's have already reached this point!.
They already introduced the idea of a "governing body" in the outline of the Book of Acts (how clever!)
i still remember that feeling.
thank god it's gone for good.
i used to be part of us witnesses.
Thanks AA
i saw this on reddit:.

overall the numbers are better than last year (1.8% growth compared to 1.5% last year -- as i predicted ;-) ) with an increase in all major figures including 1300 more congregations (i assume this is not physical kingdom halls?).
“I feel as if Jehovah were talking to me right in my room when I listen to members of the Governing Body and their helpers,” says Agatha, a circuit overseer’s wife in Ghana. “Without this tool, how could a poor girl like me in a small corner of the earth have such a great privilege? It has really brought us much closer to our dear brothers and sisters around the world.”
Wow, just wow!
Like slimboyfat said, they print it with a straight face.
ask them why the gb has spent millions of people hours buiding the new bethels in new york and london rather than them working door to door or on the trolleys.
I always remember them that the Biblestudents before 1914 were very sure about living in the last days. And that 1914 was supposed to be the end of the last days. If they allow me I mention the talk of brother Rutherford: "Millions now living will never die" (1920). Then I just smile.
we are almost in 2017 and some 3 to 4 years have passed since the release of the 2013 revised nwt.
also, i am supposed to believe much money has been spent on rto's.
and as the end is even closer, i should have access to the "best translation ever" in my own language...how else can i be saved???.
How many languages do already have the revised version?
so last night it was announced at the local hall that the ldc had decided against building a new hall, and that the existing hall would be "renovated.
the prospect of a new hall has been dangled before this congregation for at least 10 years now.
in fact, the congregation had already purchased property, had approval from the rbc for a new hall.
Keep us informed, please
