reading the list of new publications I was struck by the absence of a new edition of the NWT.
The list is from Spain! If there really will be a New New World Translation, that will be released in the U.S. first.

step into the light.
just flipped through the feb awake and the feb 1 public wat.
first time since they went to 16 pages.
my first impression was the large amount of blank space in both mags, really wasted space.
just caught this in today's watchtower!
while the wtb&ts is going on about all of david's sins and how god was being a "god of love" and showing forgiveness to his servants, (keyword: his= only jehovah's witnesses) i decided to go ahead and start reading the whole story about what really happened.
so then i stumbled upon 2 samuel 12:15&18 .
Is the Bible against abortion?
(Ecclesiastes 4:2, 3) And I congratulated the dead who had already died rather than the living who were still alive. So better than both of them is the one who has not yet come to be.
(Jeremiah 20:17, 18) .Why did he not definitely put me to death from the womb, that my mother should become to me my burial place and her womb be pregnant to time indefinite? Why is it that I have come forth from the very womb?
(Job 3:11; 10:18, 19) Why from the womb did I not proceed to die? Why did I not come forth from the belly itself and then expire? ... So why from a womb did you bring me out? Could I have expired, that not even an eye could see me, there as though I had not come to be I should have become; from the belly to the burial place I should have been brought.
(Luke 23:29) Happy are the barren women, and the wombs that did not give birth!
interesting meeting today.the do had the last talk and he mentioned a couple of things i have not heard before :.
1) the new lighter magazines are designed in a way to attract people to our website .
2)the ministry will change to incoprorate preacing in town centres and and with stands as in manhattan and certain brothers will be allocated to do this .so it is done now in a big scale ,organised.. 3)the qr codes at the back of the magazines are there for smart phone users to guide them directly to jw.org ,unlike bad old internet via laptops and pc's that you have to look for the website on google and sometimes end up in enemy websites that look like our website but are spreading lies about jw's (he said exactly that!
I suggest to further reduce the 16-page Watchtower to a 1-page edition:
i had an idea to which i don't even know if it would be feasible but i'd like to throw it out regardless.
i figured this is the best place to post since this is the forum that gets the most traffic.
however, this question is tech related.
I have lots of publications here: http://wtarchive.svhelden.info
Memorial partakers:
a man who was neglecting association with the "brethren" because he became involved with spiritism wrote a letter which was published in the may 1, 1912 issue of the watch tower .... "i was very nearly trapped beyond hope of regaining freedom, in one.
of satan's most successful devices, viz., spiritism.
i was induced.
"Satan ... has learned no doubt as the world to some extent has learned, that 'The Secret of the Lord is with them that fear him.' (Psa. 25:14) We may presume therefore that his representatives, the fallen angels, are frequently present at the little Conferences and Bible studies, etc., of God's truly consecrated people, to learn something of the divine plan.
- Studies in the Scriptures, Volume IV, 1916-18 edition, page 611,612
' cultivate the spirit of a lesser one ' to be studied january 7-13.... " a humble person has heartfelt gratitude for jehovah's provisions, including spiritual food.
hence, such an individual is a diligent student of the bible and an avid reader of the watchtower and awake!
magazines.
They are right that no one can understand the Bible without the Watchtower.
They did not mention that no one can understand the Bible with the Watchtower, too.
