Adam!

"Good News" will be released on 15 April 2024

My brother, John The situations that you refer to above are for a private situation. I was referring to situations where a brother is required to represent the congregation at a meeting for field service.

So what are you doing for meetings for field service? Is the brother conducting the meeting for field service required to wear a tie or not? Is the brothers representing the group or congregation in prayer required to wear a tie and/or a jacket? Is it dependant on whether the meeting for field service takes place in someone's home or at the Kingdom Hall?

Aren't they in the same congregation?

I forgot to mention this, but this may help some. Mark Sanderson did a SKE Graduation in England on 14 January. He did not have a beard then. Evidenced by photos I have seen. 2 weeks later, Mark Sanderson did a SKE Graduation in Ireland. Then some facial hair was showing. What we saw in the update is the latest in the past 7-8 weeks. When the GB move fast, they move!

Can sisters attend pionner school in their slacks? Do brothers who are attending theocratic schools need to wear ties? Do brothers who operate the AV equipment at meetings need to be wearing a tie and wearing a jacket? Do sisters who operate the AV equipment at meetings need to be wearing a dress or skirt? At elders & Servants meetings, do they have to wear a tie and wear a jacket as it isn't exactly worship they are engaged in? Man oh man the questions!

So whose gonna dare come to the Memorial next week in their slacks and no ties?

Apologies if this has been discussed, but cab someone show quickly how group overseers and their assistants can see who in their group still has to submit their report for the month?

Some have said that following this decision, the GB should now consider whether sisters should wear pants (trousers). I'm a little unsure about this. Scriptural principles that come to mind are Deut 22:5 and 1 John 2:15

Well done. I know of a brother in the UK (who doesn't attend Dudley by the way) who couldn't partake on the platform in his circuit assembly 2 weeks ago because he had a beard. The CO wouldn't allow it. Wouldn't want to imagine whose contacting who following yesterday's news.

"And he will wipe out every razor from their eyes, and shaving will be no more, neither will blades, nor shaving cream, nor aftershave be anymore. The razor cuts have passed away."

Are we going to have JW Beard oil suppliers now? You know... those ones with Etsy accounts and such like ...

So ... is Gillette (shaving foam) the best thing a man could get now?

For those who use Nw Publisher

Yeah it doesn't look like the report has been updated yet. Its 1 November now

For this will the feature "Congregation Sharing" need to be enabled and not just the "Secretary" program?

Hello, A brother nearby has become the secretary in his congregation. They use NW Scheduler and Publisher. However, he can only see the reports for his field service group and not that of the other groups on NW Scheduler Granted, reporting will change for everyone at the end of this month. But how can he see the see this data in order to compile the field service report for September? Will he need to convert it to an Excel file and then manually update each Publisher record card? Many thanks in advance 🙏

This I sense is correct

Matthew 22:37 - You must love Jehovah with your WHOLE heart. Irrespective of how many hours you spend in the ministry each month, its your love for Jehovah that makes you step out of your home to go out and preach & teach each time. Look at any application form for pioneering, it says in part, words to the effect "because of my love for Jehovah"... not because of some sort of recognition by others or Look "good" in front of others. So if anyone thinks that one's might not be seen more in the field because they no longer report hours - who of us can know someone's true best, their true motives and their own love for Jehovah.

Probably not in the best forum category, but am hearing reports (multiple) that Serena Williams, the retired tennis player, was baptised on Saturday at the West Palm Beach assembly hall in Florida. Anyone here able to confirm and verify?

15 hours to auxiliary pioneer... that's the equivalent of 30mins a day! This March and April could see very high peaks in the amount pioneering.

Whilst still respecting the choice of those who want to wear a mask!

Does anyone have the picture of Charles with the Greatest Man book from the 90s to hand? I was a child when that was doing the rounds and that was before the days of the Internet.
