for those of you who are still attending meetings due to various reasons, how do you prepare yourself for each program?.
do you still read and study the wt?.
do you still read and study the okm, jeremiah, etc?.
I'm still in.
I stopped studying the WT this year as it became unbearable to me to do so. The same applies to all other publications...
I just carefully surf the web during the meetings using my phone while covering it with either a magazine or a bible. I also go a lot more to get some water at the back of the KH, and when I do, I make sure to spend a while in there so time goes by faster...
It has been such a pain to go to the meetings these past months that I'm almost giving up.
anyone know why it is taking so long for it to be put on on jw.org?
it supposedly highlights the jw.org website so is there a special campaign or something?
i would have expected it to be there already since both editions of the watchtower have been there for a while..
It will stay idle as long as the magazine isn't out... When it is out the link will list the download links for the magazine.. It's a shortcut!
btw: if you change the URL arguments, you can get any of the release magazines. ie: http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201401&output=html&pub=w&fileformat=PDF&alllangs=1&langwritten=DE&txtCMSLang=E&isBible=0 fetches the download links for the study edition of the 1st january watchtower of 2014
i am currently on a business trip for a trade show in another city.
as i'm walking to the convention center, i run into 2 jw's preaching.
one is about mid 60s the other probably mid 30's.
How can one tell whether they're in a cult when they will only refer to their leadership (cult leaders) to tell them they're not a cult?
this post was taken from reddit exjw but makes a very good point:.
these are two paragraphs of the watchtower of january 1st 2014.... .
i don't know about you guys, but in my mind, i'm seeing a deja vu of the articles before 1975 i've read.
2034 is the date! 120 years after 1914 just as mentioned on the December 15th 2003 article of the Watchtower (italics mine):
Warned of “Things Not Yet Beheld”
6 In Noah’s day, Jehovah declared: “My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.” (Genesis 6:3) The issuance of this divine decree in 2490 B.C.E. marked the beginning of the end for that ungodly world. Just think what that meant for those then living! Only 120 years more and Jehovah would bring “the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh in which the force of life is active from under the heavens.”—Genesis 6:17.
7 Noah received the warning of the upcoming catastrophe decades in advance, and he wisely used the time to prepare for survival. “After being given divine warning of things not yet beheld,” says the apostle Paul, “[Noah] showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household.” (Hebrews 11:7) What about us? Some 90 years have passed since the last days of this system of things began in 1914. We are certainly in “the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4) How should we respond to warnings we have been given? “He that does the will of God remains forever,” states the Bible. (1 John 2:17) Now is therefore the time to do Jehovah’s will with a keen sense of urgency.

Not sure why, but if you want a quick way of finding out when it is out just bookmark this link:
it will list the download links for the magazine as soon as it's available (you still have to refresh the page).

has anyone done a synopsis on the information provided at http://www.jehovahsjudgment.co.uk/watchtower-un-ngo/default.html#chapters, where the wts association with the un is justified?.
.
Hi fellas...
I'm resurrecting this thread with a question;
On http://www.jehovahsjudgment.co.uk there is an extensive multi-part article trying to defend the Watchtower organization. On the page titled Simple English Article for Translators there is a reference to the 1991 UN NGO applicant form (4 pages).
On page 1 of that form, under section 2 there is item c "Web site". Well, the web as we knew it before the 2000's didn't come into existence before 1993!
Kind regards!
i've just noticed that besides being available as a pdf download.
the jw.org website has been updated and now makes the 2013 bible available for online reading.. .
can you confirm whether the previous errors have been corrected?.
Does it mean I have to throw away the PDF I downloaded last week?

--not a big screaming deal, but the heading at the top right of the page is wrong here:.

Apparently the WT (jw.org) blocked referrals from this website. copy + paste it onto a new tab/window and it will work.
my husband just gave me the latest km the novermber 2013 and it yet again has a question box on head coverings.. question box "should a female publisher wear a head covering if she is accompanied by a male pubisher at a doorstep bible study?".
it says "when a female publisher conducts a reagular, scheduled bible study and a male kingdom publisher is present, she should wear a head covering.
(1 cor 11: 3-10) the july 15 2002, issue of the watchtower page 27, explains: "this is a prearranged session of teaching where the one conducting the the study actually presides.
What about a mother who goes on a study session along with her baptized 10 yr old son?
Will she need to use the head covering? even thought her son is just too young or inexperienced to be directing the study?
nonsense
