anyone know them?

SINCE 1992, the Governing Body has appointed experienced, mature Christian elders to help its committees carry out their work. These helpers, from among the “other sheep,” provide valuable support to the Governing Body. (John 10:16) They attend the weekly meeting of the committee to which they are assigned, providing background information and offering suggestions. The Governing Body members make the final decisions, but the helpers implement the committee’s direction and carry out whatever assignments they are given. The helpers accompany Governing Body members to special and international conventions. They may also be assigned to visit branch offices as headquarters representatives.

Missing Monthly Broadcast - May 2015

by Listener in

youtuber millstone research has done a video on the fact that the may 2015 monthly broadcast is no longer on jw org.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/categories/studiomonthlyprograms.

the broadcast was presented by lett who mentions he had the backing of the other gb members regarding his comments.. the broadcast is basically about soliciting jws for funds as well as other 'valuable things' for the organisation.

this is the one where he claims that the money flowing out was more than the money flowing in.

produced, I meant.

Listener - that is because during these summer months, the conventions were shown in stead of the monthly broadcasts, so there simply were none producer.

Listener - under monthly broadcasts you will find the subheading talks,scroll down almost to the bortom and there it is.

And by the way, it is no wonder the earlier ones are nowhere to be found in French, cause the broadcasts were only in English the first months.

Lett's 33 minutes talk is still there, if you browse the Talk section and not the Broadcast section.

Jehovah cares for the poor

by road to nowhere in

the video for midweek.

walking 25 km, stay in a witness home and the topper, selling a chicken for money to feed 2 or 3 families.

all while wearing a tie..

TheOldHippie

You misunderstood, pistolpete. They sold a hen and for the money they got for it, they were able to feed a couple of families for the days in question.

By the way, when my wife and I buy a chicken for dinner, we have enough food to last for two days - which means four dinners, then. You say you eat one chicken for dinner. I guess that explains the difference observed in body size between European and US citizens ..................

Awake Magazine - No Longer Being Printed?

by JWTom in

jw
friends

someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.

maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.

is this true?

TheOldHippie

Sorry to put an end to all the beautiful speculations, but it is obvious that some of you did not pay 100 % attention at the mid-week meeting last November, when a letter from HQ was read, stating that Awake nos 1 and 2 of 2021 as well as the public Watchtower no 2 of 2021 would be delayed three or four months.

Why, I do not know, but my guess is that all the presses are busy with the new study brochure, which presently is being published in tens upon tens of languages.

Watchtower Sudy 12 July.the Kings of North & South (from 05/20 issue)

by BluesBrother in

it is a challenge next sunday for them .

due to starting the convention programme the wt study will be a 30 minute run through ,and deals with this prophecy ... i doubt the younger ones are familiar with it at all bur oldies could debate it at length .we on the look out for the king of the north to enter "the land of decoration" (more to follow,maybe next week).

this article makes a grand claim in par 2.

TheOldHippie

Bobcat, "The NWT uses "and" in Dan 11:25 since it first came out. But I saw no footnote explaining the reason. I don't think I have seen any other translation that uses "and." They all say "but" or something equivalent."

Both Young's Literal Translation and Douay-Rheims Translation use "and".

But, my question - after having read and reread the verse several times - what difference does it make? I fully understand the difference between the words "but" and "and" - but in this verse, I do not see how the meaning changes? Please enlighten me.

Rolf Furuli Disfellowshipped Last Week

by Sea Breeze in

well known norway elder and watchtower doctrine apologist, (rolf furuli) was disfellowshipped a few days ago for the crime of expressing opinions contrary to some watchtower dictates.. like wt leadership in the past, they have no problem eating their own..

TheOldHippie

He was not just an elder - he is a former CO, a former DO, the main speaker at numerous conventions, an extremely nice, friendly and knowledgeable man - AND he was a consultant / proof reader for the 1984 NWT of the Hebrew Scriptures (OT).
