just a comment here about the idiocy of this mornings wt.. in one paragraph that was yapping about faith and prayer the writers made the statement that faith could be shown by praying for material things, not just spiritual things.
they used the "give us this day our daily bread" quote.. a couple paragraphs later they said prayers are only answered if they were in harmony with god's will.. so i guess it is god's will that my frail very elderly parents are virtually ignored by the congregation they are in.
i guess it is god's will that after over 135 years combined time in duh troof between them they are kicked to the curb, accused of being selfish, unloving and they are laughed at and ridiculed by the eldurrs, the eldurrs families, and sheeple in general because of the frailties of old age.. they (that congregation) will be damned by god for their cruelty..
§ 14 .... We show such confidence by praying for help that is not limited to our spiritual needs. Jesus said that we can pray for material things, including “bread according to our daily needs.” (Luke 11:3) ....

this is in germany.. is this something new?
has anybody else heard this that somebody wanting to be an unbaptised publisher needs to fill-out a form from the borg.. i have not seen the form..
In Germany the publisher has to sign the Congregation’s Publisher Record card (S-21).
I think, it has to do with data protection. So I think, this was ment.
I never heard about something else.

When New Ones Want to Preach
6 After a Bible student has taken in knowledge and has attended meetings for a while, he may want to become a Kingdom publisher, a preacher of the good news. (Mark 13:10) If so, the Witness conducting the Bible study with him should contact the presiding overseer, who will arrange for one of the elders on the Congregation Service Committee and another elder to meet with the Bible student and his teacher. The discussion will be based on the book Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry, pages 98 and 99. If these two elders see that the new one believes basic Bible teachings and has conformed to God’s principles, he will be told that he is qualified to share in the public ministry. When he reports his ministry by turning in a field service report, it will be posted on a Congregation’s Publisher Record card made out in his name. The new one can now report his witnessing activity along with the millions of others who joyfully ‘publish the word of God.’ (Acts 13:5) An announcement that he is an unbaptized publisher will be made to the congregation.
does anyone remember the recent rumors of chuck russell predicting the methods of communication that we now enjoy?
i believe he was quoting a science journal that actually made the predictions.
hmmmm...i wonder what they said about aluminium cans???
... as a further evidence of the Lord's presence since that date, as follows:
... cash registers ...
holy shit - they had no proof readers in those days.
how hard is it to produce a monthly program and get it up on time?
they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?
are they understaffed?
the first of many lawsuits?.

november 09, 2015. wilmington, delaware the attorney general's office is suing elders of the sussex county congregation for not reporting an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were congregation members.. state law requires any person, agency, organization or entity who knows or in good faith suspects that a child is being abused or neglected to call a 24-hour hotline.
no, not because of the message of deluding yourself into seeing the hand of god working in mundane wt activities.
that is to be expected from this org.
what really bothered me was the quote in paragraph one.
§ 9 clearly states:
...we too can see his hand because we perceive his qualities and actions with “the eyes of [our] heart.”...

In german it reads:
... seine Persönlichkeit und seine Taten uns vertrauter werden, dann können auch wir seine Hand mit den Augen unseres Herzens sehen.
So it is not about seeing God's hand in the reality
At least in the german version that is clearly
many people think that there is little connection between what they are doing and what god is doing.
in fact, some believe that god has little interest in what is happening to humans.

This ist the WT for today.
Question: Some weeks ago there was a video on jw org or tv jw org - showing the "making of" about this video: http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/help-community/video-philippines-typhoon-haiyan-survivors/
But today I can't find this video again. Is the "making of video" not longer on there website?
Or I'm to blind to find?

in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.
the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

A German here says it reads okay.
I also stumbled over this sentence - and I had to smile.
One would be able to express this sentence unequivocally.
But a faithful german JW knows of course exactly, what the GB wants to express.
