"New" publications

by leaving_quietly in

looks like two "new" publications are available on their website.

i put "new" in quotation marks because these appear to simply be the introduction in their rnwt in one and the appendices, maps, charts, etc.

publications named "an introduction to god's word" and "a study guide for god's word".

Yes.

Since other countries have the RNWT not in their language, they became in 2014 these 2 little books. Now they are also available in english.

Here are download links - where you can see the languages with the RNWT (PDF):

German Branch visit talk Mark Sanderson (Parents; don't hinder young children to get baptized)

by Daniel1555 in

friends

the video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).

he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.

parents and children.

This will serve to emphasize the importance of following the directions the faithful slave is providing concerning proper decorum at conventions.—1 Tim. 3:15
(1 Timothy 3:15) . . ., that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in God’s household,. . 

In persecution every JW would die for his brother/sisters.

On conventions every JW would beat/kill his brother/sisters for the best seat.

They have always to be reminded:

(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”

This is not the first time that Watchtower has had a convention featuring Jesus. Have you all forgotten about the "Follow The Christ" district convention several years ago?

Candace Conti - Consequence for Elders

by The Searcher in

bodies of elders around the world will soon (tm) receive a nicely worded letter from the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, telling them that local elders are now responsible for ensuring that no perverts are allowed to be alone with any children on any kind of witness business, otherwise, the boe will be accountable to the courts - not the org!.

however, if the elders are aware that bro.

& sister oblivious sometimes ask bro.

fastJehu

They can't do this. No single brother would then go with an elder into field service any more.

All the brothers would be afraid, that the cong or the field servce group would think - he is a pedo.

flipper
As regards the opening thread- I DO feel like some others here that WT legal will craft a letter to the elders indicating tighter restrictions regarding pedophiles going out in field service. I don't know what those restrictions may be- it might be that pedophiles are ONLY allowed to work with elders out in the field service.

First time they publicly admit this or not?

by TimDrake1914 in

i came across this on the newest wt study edition for 7/15/15 pg.

9 par.

14:"they remember when congregations had a congregation servant rather than a body of elders, when countries had a branch servant rather than a branch committee, and when direction was given by the president of the watch tower society rather than by a clearly established governing body of jehovahs witnesses.

fastJehu

*** w02 10/1 pp. 18-19 par. 6 Cultivate Obedience as the End Draws Near ***
In the first century, when the issue of circumcision arose in 49 C.E., the governing body of that early slave class prayerfully considered the matter and came to a Scriptural conclusion. When they announced their decision by letter, the congregations obeyed the direction given and enjoyed God’s rich blessing. (Acts 15:6-15, 22-29; 16:4, 5) Likewise in modern times, the faithful slave through its Governing Body has clarified such important issues as Christian neutrality, the sanctity of blood, and the use of drugs and tobacco.
