The best WT publication is the calendar. You're not required to read it, it's useful, and it actually has a lot of truth to it (what the current date is).
They'll do away with it eventually. Calendars will eventually become old light.
wt publication ever?.
or the worst?.
: in nwt i include the "study editions" with cross-references and footnotes, and the kit..

my jw elder friend said to me that the nwt is the best translation of the bible and that scholars have said as much.
is this true and is it the best?
are there scholars who disagree?.
Pray tell, what idioms in English have changed in a mere 60 years that would render words or phrases in 1950 which would create a misunderstanding of ANYTHING in the Bible?
How about the word "Groovy"?

Of course it's the best. All JWs tell me that. Just like how Microsoft tells me that they have the best computer operating system.

I'm going to be out of town again this week, and have no clue if I'll have internet access. I got a nice surprise when I got back from my last trip. I have some pretty over-enthusiastic friends with nothing better to do but vote for my video :)
i know, i know, more michael jackson news.
this for some reason has got me ticked off.
if you go to the tmz website you will see a photo of paris and her brother holding the "sing praises to jehovah" songbook.
Any person with a true Faith in God shouldn't even have to be asked to wear their best clothes for him
Of course. After they see how everyone else is dressed in suits and skirts, they'll feel like idiots for dressing in jeans & T-shirt because they stand out too much. By next meeting, they've bought some nicer clothes to attend in.

i was usually honest about my hours for the most part.
but there was this one time..... i was auxiliary pioneering back in april of 2000. that was also the month we had planned to go down to south carolina to visit my brother, was living there at the time.
the trip was the last week of the month.
Throw your WT and Awakes in the garbage, believing that a homeless person will dig through your trash, read them, and count them as placements :)
Witness to your pets for extra time. If you have no pets, then stuffed animals or invisible friends will do.
Pin a tract on a cork board and multiply five minutes times the approximate number of people in the area.
Someone on here mentioned the old tape it to your car window trick and drive around the city. Easy way to count time!
Mail tracts to your MP (in Canada). Postage is free!
Tape tracts to "postage paid" cards and stuff them in credit card envelopes. Just think of how many people you can reach for free!
not sure if this was the case elsewhere, but i noticed that the contribution boxes with the people attending them stayed out in the hall ways throughout the entire session.
they used to be set up only before and after sessions and during lunch......times are tough!
!.
The WTS doesn't need contribution boxes. Jehovah will provide for his earthly organization :)
found an interesting article by some Canadian guy with P133.
Oh, you mean my old garage jukebox with the 4 DVD drives? :)
BUMP
I was out of town for the week, and it looks like my video's been getting a bit of help racing its way to the top! Keep the votes coming!
BTW Black Sheep, I did some recording in an abandoned Personal Care Home with nice reverb. I'll probably be putting the song up on my blog in the next little while. It's a cover tune which I did NOT use a karaoke version for, and it sounds really nice. I already like it more than the original.
... but all i got was a lousy new songbook!.
honestly, how long will it be before the natives grow restless?.
Aw come on! It took 25 years for the WTS to put out new music. They're doing better than The Big Bopper, so give them a break.
I read something somewhere that if your hard drive starts to fail, put it in a cold environment. I can't remember where I saw this, but a guy put his laptop in the fridge to get his HD up and running long enough to pull the data from it.
Flash drives are somewhat touchy with their reliability. Apparently they're only good for a certain number of writes before they go kaput. That's why I have my OS and my music on seperate drives. The OS does more writes to the drive, but that may be debateable with the Linux OS since it runs in RAM and writes one backup file on shutdown. I'm mainly using a flash drive for reliability in Winter.
Oh yeah, and BUMP. My video has fallen behind the guy who thinks LAMP environments are cool.
