i think there is a good chance i'm going to be asked to be the watchtower conductor.
on the one hand, i'll find it quite difficult some weeks having to go along with what is written.
on the other hand, there'll be opportunities to ask controversial questions (within limits).
I think there is a good chance I'm going to be asked to be the watchtower conductor. On the one hand, I'll find it quite difficult some weeks having to go along with what is written.

Any other suggestions definitely welcome.

against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.
he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.
i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.
Sorry - OD book is the organized to do jehovah's will book - used to be the organization book.

Excellent thread as others have stated. Anyone else think they're rushing organizational changes through so that a new OD book can be released later this year - at the Annual Meeting? If so, any other changes will have to come soon as I would imagine the lead in time for printing would need planning.
i got a call the other day, it looks like the gb is telling everyone to contact all inactive ones, let them know they are missed, etc, and to do it within a week.
.
Just to say that some of us elders who know TTATT do care for inactive ones by leaving them alone to get on with their lives. I used to be secretary a while ago and would regularly "lose" record cards for inactive ones who I thought were trying to escape - amazing how quickly they are totally forgotten about.

curious why god confused the languages back in nimrods day for all that they might accomplish working together...building "tall" buildings etc.... i mean have you seen some of the sky scrapers these days?!?
wtf?
why does't he fracture spoken language some more to stop all this fricken technology.. and now with google translate anyone can talk to anyone ;-).
Pretty obvious really Phizzy - he was talking to the early Governing Body.

is it true that the march ministry is hinting that this year will be the last memorial, someone just said that today in the service, just wanted to confirm.. .
.
edit: forgot to add the month..
Phizzy - yes, Dec 2013 KM said that the 2015 Memorial will be on Friday April 3rd 2015, so they obviously think it'll happen.

not seen this mentioned yet - a letter was read out saying that the uk bethel is probably moving to west hanningfield near chelmsford, essex depending on all of the legal matters going through.
the letter also said not to visit the site as it would annoy nearby businesses.
no more mention yet of begging for funds.

Sorry, of course I meant informing the brothers of the financial situation.

re: adjustments to draw close to jehovah.
dear brothers:.
some changes involving our understanding of the meaning of gods name and what it re p- resents have been made to the first chapter of draw close to jehovah.
Interestingly, this time sensitive letter hasn't been released in the UK yet, so it'll be next week before it is read out at the earliest!

As an elder, I don't feel remotely equal to most of the posters here - I reckon I only get by because of the wisdom from many of their posts. I aspire to be equal to them - especially ones like Blondie whose posts I have valued over the years when I was just lurking.

I'm another one currently "serving" as an elder, though doing my own thing as much as I can get away with without being caught.
