    This one is in Eastern Washington. It's pretty small as it seems to be about 25' x 65' and will have a capacity of around 80.

    The Librarian reacted to JW Insider in Jehovah Holding The Fort   
    If that is supposed to be "up-building" it is the worst meme I have ever seen.
    Sorry, that's all the "props" it deserves.
    At any moment it appears that "me" will be crushed by anxienty and depression, because the supports are supposedly as flimsy-looking as those in the picture.

    The Librarian got a reaction from James Thomas Rook Jr. in Abel: How old when killed?   
    *** Insight volume 1, p. 15 Abel ***
    Since Seth was evidently born shortly after Abel’s death and when Adam was 130 years of age, it is possible that Abel may have been as much as 100 years old at the time of his martyrdom.—Ge 4:25; 5:3.

    James Thomas Rook

    The service year has not concluded. I seriously doubt that any information within a regional convention would have the results for next year totals. This year totals are posted in JW.org

    *** w18 August pp. 4-5 par. 8 Do You Have the Facts? ***

    8 There is another danger in quickly forwarding e-mails and text messages. In some lands, our work is under restriction or outright ban. Our opposers in such lands may purposely circulate reports designed to instill fear or to cause us to distrust one another. Consider what happened in the former Soviet Union. The secret police, known as the KGB, spread rumors that various prominent brothers had betrayed Jehovah’s people. Many put confidence in such false reports, and as a result, they separated themselves from Jehovah’s organization. How sad! Thankfully, many later returned, but some never did. Their faith was shipwrecked. (1 Tim. 1:19) How can we avoid such a disastrous outcome? Refuse to circulate negative or unsubstantiated reports. Do not be naive, or gullible. Be sure you have the facts.

    1974 Special Meetings
    Armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. At the District Conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of September; one would be for interested people (e.g., Bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.), and the other would be for baptized publishers. These were to be held in place of the Service Meetings for the two weeks, IIRC. In the September KM, there were two letters provided that would be handed out to the attenders at each meeting. This provision was intended to seal in our minds the closeness of Armageddon. It was hoped that people who had been hanging onto the org without making a commitment would now 'get off the pot,' as it were, and that those already in the org would work ever harder trying to get people saved before Armageddon hit, any minute now. Anyway, I was digging through some old JW stuff a few days ago and found copies of the letters. Thought you folks might enjoy reading them. - Contributed

    There is not special about the yellow... here are some blue ones.... although I'm not sure why they all want to dress the same?  Usually the sisters always say they DON"T want to wear the same dress as another sister.... or am I wrong?

    The Librarian got a reaction from Blanchie DeGrate in JW Broadcasting: July 2018   
    Lyrics to the July JW Broadcast song: (compliments of Brother Chew)
     
    I'm Not Alone
    Abandoned and betrayed, 
    Forsaken and alone, 
    Despair my one companion, 
    My heart within me like a stone 
    With no one here for me, 
    No kindly word of care, 
    WhoÂ’ll offer consolation?
    My heavy burden, who can share?
    I’m not alone; I never was. I’ll never be, 
    And all because Jehovah knows; Jehovah sees.
    He hears my prayer; HeÂ’s here with me.
    Whatever comes my way, IÂ’m never alone.
    Whatever I may lose 
    By sticking close to you, 
    No matter who may fail me, 
    I know youÂ’ll never be untrue.
    You’re close to me, O God, 
    And never far away.
    My faith, my hope, reliance?
    — I know you never will betray.
    I’m not alone; I never was. I’ll never be, 
    And all because Jehovah knows; Jehovah sees.
    He hears my prayer; HeÂ’s here with me.
    Whatever comes my way, IÂ’m never alone.
    I never was. I’ll never be, 
    And all because Jehovah knows; Jehovah sees.
    He hears my prayer; HeÂ’s here with me.
    Whatever comes my way, IÂ’m never alone.

    Saying is inaccurate and generalized.   Ours is a religion too, so it would also apply to us.
    It is time to retire that saying and not keep bringing it up.

    The Librarian reacted to Eric in La Réforme Protestante: L'histoire des Réformateurs   
    Le 10 décembre 1998 marquait le cinquantenaire de la Déclaration universelle des droits de lÂ’homme. Selon lÂ’article 18 de ce document onusien, toute personne “ a droit à la liberté de pensée, de conscience et de religion ”, droit qui implique, dit-il, la liberté de changer de religion, dÂ’enseigner sa religion et de la pratiquer. Les évêques catholiques anglais et gallois ont vu dans ce cinquantenaire “ une occasion appropriée pour les catholiques dÂ’examiner leur conscience sur ces questions ” et de reconnaître les “ terribles injustices ” commises, notamment sous Marie Tudor.

    On regrette des actes perpétrés il y a près de 450 ans, mais les choses ont-elles vraiment changé ?
    Si l’on n’envoie plus personne au bûcher, aujourd’hui encore de nombreux pseudo-chrétiens violent ou tuent des non-chrétiens. Cette intolérance ne peut pas plaire à Dieu.
    Jésus Christ, qui est le reflet parfait de la personnalité divine, n’a-t-il pas dit : “ Par là tous sauront que vous êtes mes disciples, si vous avez de l’amour entre vous. ”
