i do.. what does the soceity actually say about them?
(i know some the members of the gb use them) .
what do you think about using them at meetings?
we just had that Body of Elders letter read last night.
The electronic devices ARE now allowed, although the scriptures should be read from an actual bible.
There was NOTHING said about stumbling others wish people wouldn't adlib.
In closing, it is a conscience matter. period.
the pioneer service school will now be only one week, monday thru saturday.. it will consist of 40 hours of instruction and illustrations/presentations.. the reasong given is that this will make it more accessible to the pioneers for due to work schedules and for congregations having to sponsor and support the school.. it will make it easier on everyone and those who haven't attended in the last five years may be able to attend this school with the new curriculum.. .
what do you feel would be included in the new curriculum.
probably more worship of the governing body and they don't need two whole weeks to get this across.. .
bnybyt,
is their a letter that states this you can scan and post?
kind regards,
roses
remember, you read it here first!.
dear brothers: .
we are pleased to announce that arrangements are being made for all baptized and unbaptized publishers who read and write english, along with their minor children, to be invited to locations where they can hear the 2013 annual meeting program that will be presented on saturday, .
Here in USA west coast they are.
and why do people think they have to secretly record anything?
Bring it and tape it. Not a big deal. It will mostly be shown on jw.org in a couple of weeks anyhow.
Recording is not banned people.

i wanted to share some news from a family friend (he is my wt mole - still an elder, hates the shenanigans, but is still hanging on for all the reasons often discussed on this site) i know the various rumors have been discussed on here, and unfortunately the rumor about the conventions being eliminated weren't true!
(what a burden on the jw community - financial hardship for a good portion of them, guilting people into actually quitting their job to attend, physically exhausting for many, etc...etc......).
anyway, he told me that the district convention is being moved to 11 weekends at the jw-owned circuit assembly hall, and they are no longer planning on renting stadiums/large facilities in our area (northern ohio/southern michigan).
I was told the same thing here in California. Also Circuit Assembly building will be remodeled to accomodate traveling overseers and their wives for a place to stay.
Many will be enlarged so as to accomodate those in the circuit as a sort of evacuation center.
this is a sincere request to any brothers or sisters who are fearful of websites such as this; .
please imitate the beroeans who carefully examined the scriptures to see if what the apostle paul said was the truth.
they were described as being "noble minded" for doing so!!.
Thank you Searcher for starting this thread....good questions.
and thank you neonmadman for thoroughly answering 2 of them.
Godd Day!
2013 district convention headquarters, addresses-united states and canada..this list is 10 pages long containing the addresses and above some of the locations you will see dates, such as, (june 15-18) or something like that.
i think those dates indicate when the convention will be held at that location.
help me out if i am wrong on that.
Thank you Atlantis, this is what I was looking for!
for those interested in collecting the pdfs of the kingdom ministry for research purposes.. as is well known, the watchtower library cd-rom starts its coverage of kms in 1970. however, the kms from 1966 to 1969 show a bit more of the excitement relating to the prediction that 6,000 years of man's existence would run out in the year 1975.. the 1969 kingdom ministry (51 mb) can be downloaded here:.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=hrm4yyx7.
the scans were done and shared by invetigator74.
Does anyone know where I can find Kingdom Ministry's consolidated by year in PDF files.
Starting last year and perhaps to 1970?
Thank you in advance!
