  the borg is going to phase out big district assemblies - so they can fit 'em in assembly halls.. they will reduce the size of circuits.

  they will synchronize c.o.

  Could back off to two days and just 'feed' the folks for longer days, to me it seems that they start late and end early......

  Timing of "thinner magazines" announcement

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the announcement of the reduced number of pages in the watchtower & awake will be made after the watchtower study following the "special talk" on april 8.. theoretically, that's when there will be more visitors and "outsiders" than usual.

  even the talk itself has 1/2 of its content directed at inactive jws.. obviously this reduction in pages has been in the works for several weeks if not months.

  why pick that date to announce it?

  So why they also not put these two publications then in one magazine????

  My guess is its all about the count, if they combine to one the circulation for the two magazines would essentially be cut in half......

  We have a few JW women who hand out old literature outside of our building about once a week (well they stand there and talk to each other while holding old literature), I think a copy of this would really be nice to hand to them, maybe after mentioning how nice it will be that they will not need to be carrying as much next year.

  Best part would be them getting this information before the official, confidential announcement.....

  if you weren't raised in the religion, why did you get involved?.

  what issue(s) keep some from ever being attracted to the witnesses?.

  If people are "weak", they are more inclined to get into this religion.

  I fully agree!

  The ability to critically think and my need to research anything for what it really is has kept me away. My wife on the other hand has been drawn in by the 'simplicity' of the way things are done.....do this, you get this and since she really struggles thinking for herself, she gets caught 'hook, line and sinker' (she was raised in a JW family but has never been dunked, she flirts with them A LOT)

  Would agree with the general thoughts on this thread, my wife was raised JW and is in an on again/off again relationship with the WTS and when she is, the WTS comes first.

  You shall do great!!!!

  Higher Education Defined

  by lastchance in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a new letter to all b.o.e., higher education has been defined as any education that leads to a bachelor's degree, or to postgraduate studies for careers in medicine, law, engineering and so forth.

  the letter is to be used to determine if an elder, ministerial servant or pioneer still qualify if they or someone in there family, that they care for, is pursuing higher education.. so getting your associates must be fine then?.

  there's also the assembly of jehovah's witnesses, 1201 n. delaware st. it's a majestic, century-old house of god, fronted by enormous stone pillars that would give samson pause.. .

  it was built in 1912 by christian scientists who, when they moved on, sold it to baptists.

  the baptists moved on in the 1970s and sold it to jehovah's witnesses.
