    Yes there are large ddifferences. Same with the magazines. Some states and some countries get theirs well ahead of other people.

    yes thanks for clearing that up, I just posted on the other board about the subject, as someone told me last night not to go anywhere with it as it is a rumour, no one has heard anything about it at bethel.

    I know. I made the disclaimer that it may not be true. I hope it is, it would really show their true colors.

    yeah I hope it is true also, because this slavery has gone way to far, I really feel sorry for many of the b/s they really are trapped weather be family or other reasons, so many really do love Jehovah but are hood winked by the society.

    I remember the same problem with the May 1 Puketower. That issue had the "new light" about the anointed not being closed off after 1935, and they didn't want people to read it before the Crapmorial. In fact, many people got the May 15 Craptower before May 1. I wonder if the Tower is embarrassed about releasing the Sept Kingdumb Misery before its time, because they are afraid that a lot of people are going to go apostate in August, sabotaging their run at 7 million.

    Hi guys!

    To clear this confusion up, this is NOT A RUMOUR! I have seen the german edition of it in print! I'm Austrian but live London and could do with the english version (if there will be one) to show it to my friends here.

    Well, edited: Here is a link to the scan on a german discussion board. Should work for all now:

    As I said in the original thread, I'm Austrian but live in the UK. I went again through Drew's translation and modified a few minor points: Here is my adaption of Drew's translation:

    Question BoxDoes the faithful and discreet slave approve of Jehovah's Witnesses independently getting together to examine and debate Biblicial topics?

    No. Nevertheless, some who are associated with our organization have taken it upon themselves to arrange meetings in order to independently examine Bible topics. Some are occupied with the Biblical Hebrew and Greek, in order to examine the accuracy of the New World Translation. Others investigate scientific topics which have to do with the Bible. Websites and chatrooms have been furnished so that opinions can be exchanged and debated. Also public conferences were held and books where published in order to supplement our meetings and study materials.

    Gods people receive plentiful Bible training and encouragement through congregation meetings, conventions as well as publications from Jehovah's Organization. Jehovah ensures that all of his servants receive all they need under the guidance of the Holy Spirit based upon his word of truth, so that they all "may be fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought" and "built up in him and being stabilized in the faith" (1 Cor 1:10; Col 2:6,7) We are certainly grateful for all of the spiritual food Jehovah has given in these last days. Therefore the "faithful and discreet slave" does not approve of any literature, websites, or meetings not produced or conducted under its direction. (Matt 24:45-47)

    It is praiseworthy that some want to learn more in order to help the spreading of the good news. But personal efforts should not divert away our direction from that which Christ Jesus provides today through his congregation on Earth. The Apostle Paul in the first century warned of laboriously bothering about “
    genealogies, which end up in nothing, but which furnish questions for research rather than a dispensing of anything by God in connection with faith ." As Christians we should “ shun foolish questionings and genealogies and strife and fights over the Law, for they are unprofitable and futile.” (Tit 3:9)

    Anyone who wants to study the Bible in more detail individually can use books as “Insight into the Holy Scriptures”, “All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial” or consider other publications of ours that deal with prophecies in Daniel, Isaiah or Revelation. These publications contain more than enough material for an in-depth Bible study, by which we may be "filled with the accurate knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual comprehension, in order to walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing [him] as YOU go on bearing fruit in every good work. (Col 1:9,10)

    Cheers, Mike
