a recent article in the watchtower, february 15, 2014 addresses the centenary of the photo-drama of creation.
then comment it on this 'remarkable work', but it will never be displayed by the watchtower again .... _______________________________.
the 1890s introduced silent motion pictures to the public.

20 copies - containing 4 parts. 4 x 20 = 80 parts
So it was possible, to show in 4 different towns each 1 part of 1 set.
For example: town 1 starts with part 1 at 8:00. Then this part comes by car to town 2 and this part starts at 11:00 (one hour driving between the towns).
Town 1: 08:00 part 1, 10:00 part 2, 12:00 part 3, 14:00 part 4
Town 2: 11:00 part 1, 13:00 part 2, 15:00 part 3, 17:00 part 4
So it was explained to me.
one of the friends at extj forum provided this list of wt branches that have been closed so far, there is also a mention that two large ones are in the process of being dismantled, they are spain and argentina.

i havent been to a meeting in four years.
during that time i completed a successful fade from the organization after almost 40 years being baptized.
it seems nothing anymore will surprise or shock me with these latest bunch of brooklyn leaders.

In our cong the elders have to deal with the problem, that a lot of JWs (mostly older ones) have NO internet at home. But they want to buy a tablet.
To buy a (cheap) tablet is no problem for them - but how to load all the theocratic stuff. The costs for internet in 1 year at home is in our country more then the coast of a cheap tablet. Some don't have the money for internet at home.
So the help of experienced ones is needed. The easiest way is WiFi at the hall. In our hall we have WiFi, but only for the CO appartment. So only the CO and 2 or 3 other elders know the password. I think, in future they will open it also for all JWs in the hall.

Maybe this is for some friends here on board interesting.
This course would also interesting: https://www.edx.org/course/uqx/uqx-think101x-science-everyday-thinking-1185 "Learn how to think better, argue better, and choose better."
usually i recieve an advanced yb but have not this year.
i also notice they have not posted it yet on jw.org.. i wonder if this is due to problems at the printery at wallkill or they decided to produce the yb later from now on?.
or perhaps they decided not to publish it any more.. anyone have any info on this?.
@ Listener: I think not so. All JW could order there printed Yearbook this summer. Why this "order-process" - if they don't print the book.
Maybe they are late - because of printing the revised NWT.
todays' wt had this sentence in one of the paragraphs....we know this because each of their individual names are indelibly written upon the 12 foundation stones of the heavenly new jerusalem.rev.
21:14.. the cross reference lists judas iscariot as one of the twelve.
so with one breath they have said judas was cursed as jesus betrayer, and yet in their rnwt they still cross reference him in the list of the twelve named foundation stones of nj.
@ Bobcat
Thanks a lot for the links. This point is now even mory clearly.

Luke wrote, that Judas Iskariot left AFTER the meal (Luke 22:19-21) . For JW-thinking this could not be. So Luke must be wrong.
Look at insight-book "Judas":
"Immediately Judas left the group. A comparison of Matthew 26:20-29 with John 13:21-30 indicates that he departed before Jesus instituted the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal. Luke’s presentation of this incident evidently is not in strict chronological order, for Judas had definitely left by the time Christ commended the group for having stuck with him; that would not fit Judas, nor would he have been taken into the “covenant . . . for a kingdom.”—Lu 22:19-30."
This was some month ago an eye opener for me. GB tells us, Luke is not in strict chronological order.
Luke 1:3:
" I resolved also, because I have traced all things from the start with accuracy, to write them to you in logical order, most excellent The·oph′i·lus..."
(there is a nice thread here on jw-net about this point - I just can not find. )
i conducted the wt study tonight on higher education.
i wondered what the reaction of the bros and sis would be.
there was no deviation from the idea that a university education is not a good idea.
Result of the "highest education in the universe" - example of a young brother in bethel:
JW:
- reads a WT article first time - when the wt comes online (or on his table in the room)
- reads (second time) AND study the same article - preparing for the monday "watch" in bethel
- reads the wt third time together with all the brother & sisters in monday's bethel "watch"
- reads the wt 4th time together with all the brother & sisters in his congregation on saturday or sunday
Result: Can not remember the answer without looking on his colored WT
wondering if anyone has found the six places the name jehovah is added in new bible?.
... blondie was faster then me ...
But have a look here on my posting on page 10:
In Blondie's link are IMHO mistakes:
1 Samuel 6:23 does not exist. Must be 1 Samuel 6:3.
1 Samuel 2:25 has Jehovah also in the "old" NWT.
If I am wrong - please correct me.
