  Cheaper than sky writing or a towed banner.

  I'm sure it cost a buck

  The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.

  perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.

  how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

  Watchtower is written months ahead. Maybe Tony wrote it. I still think it has to do with the hard inhumane shunning which has changed to a slightly softer stance.

  Oh to have a spy get ahold of a proof.

  We need to be careful of disclosing inside knowledge that isn't supposed to be for the webelows. We get the info meant for only the task masters.

  The delayed magazine is privileged info and I almost opened my yap with a sly comment.

  Thanks for the screenshot. I will bet it is a mother yearning to talk to her DF daughter who is (naturally) down on luck. The angels are watching, the gesture is ???.

  Did anyone get a screen shot of the cover? Or remember the article names/subject?

  We longtimerse can "write" the articles and talks from memory of the same same stuff. Earth shattering things like beards and pants suits may need edited.

  As for appointments; they will still be company men.

  Donation now if you can even find any.

  Up until the Swaggart sales tax court decision(WT filed an amicus) there was a required donation for just the cost of production which was 25 cents for a magazine.

  When it became voluntary there was a push to get donations by asking.

  The newly released large print bible was "free" except tge announcement mentioned how "this Bible would cost well over a $100 In store"

  There are people who will die at armageddon for lack of a quarter to learn the truth back then.!!!

  Names escape me. I met one in a porn peep shop-big surprise and the 2 witness rule saved both us.

  There was a yo-yo that was being matched with my wife so she could take care of him. Surprise, her health failed so I take care if her instead.

  Current blood card?

  by carla in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i have a question regarding the current blood card- did the blood card always have a spot where the jw gives the elders the authority to pull the plug (so to speak) and to admit them to a long term facility?

  as well as no blood, naturally.

  if the elders have no financial responsibility how is this possible?

  Do JWs Get Excited About WT Publications Any More?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  memory from long ago: my old mate from high school lived next door to a jw and was often "treated" to the latest jw literature.

  when the "you can live forever in paradise on earth"* book came out, this neighbour waxed lyrical about how good this book was and how powerful the message was.

  he acted really keen about it, like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

  New publications are online and revised weekly. Rewrites old ones with more confusing language and dumbed down. There is a scripture about making many books but they apply it to others not themselves.

  I think even the pimi are getting jaded

  Disaster preparedness

  by ElderBerry in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as your family considers its disaster preparedness plan, please ensure that the secretary has up-to-date contact information for you and your emergency contact.

  also, we have re- peatedly seen good results when brothers and sisters are prepared with go bags and are ready to obey direction when they face various kinds of disasters.

  please be sure you have a go bag, and review its contents at least once a year.

  Not

  Partly being facetious. The point is there are many organizations that could offer shtf aid to seemingly like individuals.
