by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | september 2024. enjoy the greater happiness that comes from giving.

9 though we are imperfect humans, we can imitate jehovah’s generous use of power.

we cannot literally impart strength, or energy, to others.

Page 15, paragraph 19 of the School for Congregation Elders manual

Hospitality (1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:8) An elder 'follows the course of hospitality.’ (Romans 12:13; Hebrews

13:2) The Greek word for “hospitable” literally means “fond of strangers.” Thus, the hospitable elder welcomes new ones to Christian meetings, showing the same interest in the poor as he does in the materially prosperous. He is hospitable to those traveling in the interests of Christianity and sends them on their way “in a manner worthy of God.” (3 John 5-8)

Indeed, an elder shows hospitality especially to fellow believers according to their needs and as his circumstances permit.—James 2:14-17

This is the official teaching. The term for hospitality is used for internal relationships rather than external.

My guess for August WatchTower: GB claims we're in beginning stages of Great Tribulation due to World governments turning on JW's

friends

the september watchtower has already been released and is being discussed over on reddit.

some highlights: .

1. more hitting the flock on total reliance and obedience to god's representatives on earth today, the f&ds (the governing body, of course).

I've created a new post listing my reasons as to why the August Study Edition should be no big deal. It will probably be released soon in the next month, with some disappointing information on how to treat disfellowshipped ones, no new light I imagine. Slightly 'modified' light maybe.

The August Study Watchtower: what is the big deal?

by ukpimo in

i have been following a number of posts discussing the august watchtower study magazine.

i really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the annual meeting.

here's why.. the august watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release.

I have been following a number of posts discussing the August Watchtower study magazine. I really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the Annual Meeting.

Here's why.

The August Watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release. Additionally, we are still over 3 months away from the Annual Meeting. The Organization isn't going to wait 3 months leading up to the release of the December Study Edition without too many PIMI JWs whining and begging to see the August Watchtower.

The Annual Meeting this year will be held on 5th October. So you mean to say that all Sunday meetings will come to a halt that weekend because there is no study article? Will there instead be a live message from WHQ to be broadcast over that weekend with a strangely timed immediate release of the digital Watchtower? I don't believe that would ever happen, it wouldn't work logistically.

This Watchtower we are waiting for will be out soon, simply put, in the same fashion as Armageddon!

So to all who are speculating, just stop speculating! It probably does have unique information. It's probably just not anything that's actually to be discussed at the Annual Meeting.

I'll eat my hat if I'm wrong!

If Watchtower is reading this, get your act together and order a shutdown of the JWTalk forum, as this link and code leaked from there.

Governing Body Update contents:

Convention report

Report about those in prison

There will be no nulite or special announcements as someone has speculated. I'm opting into the idea any more changes would happen at the Annual Meeting. The Governing Body knew they made too many changes in such a short space of time. So a plan of changing up things within the next few years doesn't seem so improbable after all.

The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes

by ukpimo in

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?).

JWtalk.net is an act of Disobedience

by Londo111 in

the governing body and watchtower publications make clear there is only one official website that jws should go to about their religion.

they do not approve of independent pro-jw forums.

this would also fall in line of there being no independent study groups, on the internet, or elsewhere.. for that matter, they do not approve of jws posting on behalf of their religion on social media, “apostate” websites, or anywhere else on the internet.

And when you leak this information publicly on such a platform, this should call for mass reproval and disfellowshippings. Their website is definitely going against what the Faithful Slave teaches! When will the Governing Body react and initiate a closing down of this website JWtalk?
