  THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016

  pdf .

  this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.

  that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

  ... well-known representatives of the Christian congregation...

  Would we ask them to autograph our books and Bibles?

  Has someone the photo from the brothers, giving autographs into bibles?

  First thoughts on "new" meeting...

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower

  had a quick look at the workbook and flicked through the sample meeting video.. the increased use of video shows the trend for more centralised dissemination of "best practice" .

  sure there isn't really a "school" any more and the format is a bit different but i think those that called it as the same old crap just in new package got it pretty much right.

  The updated Organized book

  by Richard_I in

  2. friends

  the updated organized to do our will book is now up.

  i just skimmed through it very quickly and i think they are more lenient on reporting time now (p. 76):.

  there are essential activities for which time is not counted, such as getting ready for field service, attending themeeting for field service, running errands, and so forth.

  Roles of men and women (also children):

  Page125:

  Brothers should take particular interest in the home and its surroundings, knowing that a tidy yard and well-kept home make a favorable impression on others. This, along with their taking the lead in spiritual matters, is an indication that family heads are presiding well over their own household. (1 Tim. 3:4, 12) Sisters too have a responsibility to care for things, especially inside the home. (Titus 2:4, 5) Well-trained children do their part in keeping themselves as well as their rooms neat and clean.

  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  European Branch (selters in germany) will be reduced by 25%.
  Means, 25% of older ones will be cut off.
  Longtime goal: rejuvenating cure and save money - less service for bethelites (no room maids, reduction (simplification) in the dining room and kitchen etc.

  Special-Pioneers who were invited for a limited time - will be cut off.

  I don't understand this. What does "on time" mean in this context?

  You get your assignment for a limited period. Only the special-pioneers with a "limited" assignment are canceld.
  

  "Normal" special-pionieers are still in there asignment and older ones will not be laid off.

  Stealth
  Are they really letting the ones go that are 50 and older?

  Bethelites - YES.
  Special-Pioneers - NO.

  Statement from higher up Bethelite:

  A special-pioneer can get his assignment "on time" (limited).
  (That's what I heard today for the first time.)

  The Organisation removes "only" the temporary (on time) special-pioneers.

  And yes - to save money.
