@ Witness 007,
Do you remember when we studied it? I was in until about 2015 and wondered for years when we were going to study it. But the years seem to run together, so I could be wrong.
this book was published around 1990, but was never studied (to my knowledge).
does anyone know the reason why?.

another example of jehovah protects his people except when he doesn't.

This has nothing to do with gun laws. If you are hell bent on getting a gun to commit a crime, you can do it. No law in the world can stop that. Same with illegal drugs. If you want them, you can get them.
In regards to this matter, its really unfortunate that this kid killed an innocent man and that the org will not do a thing to help his family other than tell them to pray more and continue to go out in field service.
breaking news!
every jehovah’s witness elder in the 67 counties of pennsylvania are being given notice by state attorney's office to turn over any & all documents relating to child sex abuse cases!
watch attached video beginning at time-stamp 101:00...pay particular attention to what is said after 103:00.this is wild!.
Wow. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. If this has legs, it will be HUGE.
have you guys noticed, this year 2023 no more public edition magazines...i wonder how they are gonna spin that fact.
@ WingCommander,
You are right about that! You and I are about the same age. Growing up in the 1980's and early 1990's, there was NO WAY that I would get old. Well, I'm settling into my 40's. While not old, I am older than I thought I would ever get.
no wonder they 'cancelled' the wt cd rom.. flip -.
w61 7/15 p. 420 - “...in order to hate what is bad a christian must hate the person with whom the badness is inseparably linked.” .
flop -.
New light at its finest.
my brother ( who is an elder ) tries very hard to get me back to the meetings.
he calls me every time he and his son ( he's also an elder) give a public talk.
they send me the zoom i.d.
Gotta love how Sammy Herd is sitting in his leather captain's chair.
i remember back in the 80s almost every awake and watchtower magazine, think all, hade an article about how bad and evil catholic church was.
what happened to all the bashing?
was it because people in catholic countries got offended?
The org stopped bashing the church when it was revealed that they have their own problem with child abuse.
were you ever on a congregation picnic?
i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".
well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.
Growing up in Pennsylvania, I remember going to congregational picnics all the way up through the 1990's. They were fun. So the Org did what the Org usually does: eliminate activities that bring the flock too much fun.
it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.
i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.
the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.
Outside of my dad's memorial talk, I haven't been to a kingdom hall since 2015.
