High interchanges torment empathic riders W I A O Q

That's the problem of asking in an internet forum. It's not like we are an official channel or anything. The friends who are replying know as much as you do. Imagine asking a question from all the attendees to a circuit assembly. How many different answers will you receive? Well, there are more members here than attendees at the assembly.

And may that always prove to be.

Many of the brothers and sisters on here will remember, back in the day, when Rom 13:1 was understood to refer to Jehovah and Christ Jesus, and many spent a long time persuading bible studies that this was what it meant. When my wife was a youngster pioneering, she had such a call and had basically convinced the person that this understanding must be right, just at the time when our brothers confirmed that a prayerful review proved the true meaning to refer to the national governments as the 'superior authorities', and she had to go back to this call with the scriptural basis for the change. To the student's credit, the change was accepted.

You are very keen, Hannah, I'm sure your new congregation will benefit from your ministry zeal.

I’ve been printing them out at home and using them already but very excited to get the “official” ones

A couple of questions please 🙂 Are you getting the same quantity for each of the nine tracts? Approximately how many of each tract are you receiving 'per-publisher' in your congregation? TIA

Which is exactly why we did the display that we did - and the display with the Make Disciples brochure/s we have is also good for using in conversations with publishers about the new tracts 😀 https://jwtalk.net/topic/62012-new-tracts-when-will-they-arrive/#comment-1076152

After the fall of Babylon does make sense, then sudden destruction!

We will be making little "starter packs" of the tracts 10x9 for each publisher, maybe a few more for the pioneers. Many publishers are keen to receive them and use them, but most do not realise the purpose of the tracts - that they are designed to start conversations in line with the Appendix A of the brochure. I can just foresee many simply giving the tracts away and will go through the tracts in no time. The AM won't be out till Jan/Feb that explains that, so a little explanation might be needed when we get them. And even though we can order more after this delivery, who knows how long it will be before we get more, as they work hard to send supplies to all congregations.

So what is being explained to us now is the following, if I understand it correctly: A declaration of peace and security can come either because of Revelation 17:13, or as a satanic lie. We do not know at this point what the cause of the declaration will be. That is the difference. This leads us to understand 1 Thessalonians 5:2,3 as saying that Jehovah’s day begins before the declaration of “peace and security,” because Jehovah has put his thought into the hearts of the nations and Babylon the Great is destroyed. Then a sudden destruction comes upon the nations immediately after this declaration (which has been preceded by the nations giving their power to the UN, which has eliminated false religion). The other scenario would be that Satan’s world itself brings about a declaration of “peace and security,” and after that Jehovah puts it into the hearts of the nations to give their power to the UN. Then the great tribulation begins, which will lead to sudden destruction for all parts of Satan’s system (starting with false religion, the nations, etc.). Is that how you understand it as well?

You waited longer than me.. My 20th jw service next year March. but I had my bible study when I was 15. . And Im 42.

The Literature Brothers have been instructed to "ensure that the tracts are evenly distributed so that each publisher receives a supply." (emphasis added) I suspect the (initial) supply of new tracts will be kept under 'lock-and-key' to ensure a fair and even distribution 🤣

As soon as they where released we printed them out neatly at actual size, rounded the corners, and posted them up on the literature's display board .... along with the Love People Make Disciples brochure(s) with the three pages from Appendix A - Truths We Love to Teach - on display ..... and with an arrow from each tract to the relevant 'truth', so publishers could see how they where linked, and how they will be able to use both tools together to both continue and have productive conversations using the new tracts, rather than simply handing them out to any and everybody they meet.

It is actually, a fine point our brothers make, although a pint if it might be helpful.

https://cbn.com/news/world/un-religion-expert-wants-world-religions-bow-un-ideology news media didn’t really cover this in 2020. Sorry for the source. Seems like there an growing appetite for religions to follow the UN.

I prefer one like this: It has tilit facilities and is very good for an afternoon nap.

Yes, very good and helpful material. It is a fine pint our brothers make in saying that we cannot be sure of when this cry of 'peace and security' will take place, either before or after the start of GT. One thing though is for sure, it will happen!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Wowee!
