I understand why the Temple was dedicated and God's smoke filled the building. But His smoke doesn't fill the buildings nowadays. How or why is this necessary? Is it proper from a Christian standpoint?

BOE June 10, 2016 Re: Transfer of Shipping Activities From Britain Branch to Central Europe Branch

JEHOVAH’S TERRORIST? (A personal memoir) John F. Kennedy's brother, Robert (Bobby) was assassinated in 1968 shortly after he won the California Democratic presidential primary. Kennedy died the next day. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship was convicted for the assassination. Bishara Sirhan, the father of RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan, was a Jehovah’s Witness. At least, the Elders and notables in his neighborhood had given this information to newspaper reporters at the time of Robert Kennedy’s murder. Bishara was living 20 miles northeast of Jerusalem in Israeli-occupied Jordan at the time. Bishara spoke fluent English. He had a reputation for being excitable, even volatile at times. Sirhan Sirhan’s father told reporters: “I am very, very sorry! I brought up my children as best as I could and to fear God. I am sorry for what happened.” Bishara had moved his family to the U.S. in the 1950’s, remaining 11 years before he split with his wife and returned to Jordan where he built his home and inscribed on his wall in Arabic: “Jehovah the High, you gave me happiness in the world. Give me eternal life. You are the only God and nobody shall be worshiped before you.” When interviewed, his neighbors said they looked down on Jehovah’s Witnesses because they were too” pro-Jewish.” (We will see later, this NOT the case. . .) ___________ Photocopy of newspaper article: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1798&dat=19680606&id=j0QgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JIwEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7123,578715 ___________ This was reported June 6, 1968, when the newspaper in Sarasota published the article. In less than 24 hours, I heard about it. At the time, I was a Jehovah’s Witness serving a sentence of possibly 6 years in the Seagoville Federal Correctional Institution. This was during the Vietnam War and JW’s were conscientious objectors. The impact on the 40 or so Jehovah’s Witnesses in prison was mild panic. At least, that’s how I would characterize it. Brother Sam Salemi, a fellow JW inmate, explained the implications to me in no uncertain terms. “This could be the beginning of the Great Tribulation,” he began. “The persecution could begin and we’re sitting ducks if the other prisoners decide to take revenge.” I listened quizzically. I had a dim grasp of politics having grown up in a Blue Dog Democrat household. (They’d vote for any Democrat over any Republican, even if that Democrat were a Blue Dog. Don’t ask me--it’s a crazy Southern expression.) “Hang fire a minute, Sam--let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Why would anybody attack conscientious objectors who refuse to take up arms to kill and blame them?” Sam gave me a look of wonderment that I could be so naive. “We JW’s are despised already because we act like we’re more righteous than everybody else. All people need is one little excuse--like the son of a Jehovah’s Witness murdering President Kennedy’s brother!” I thought about what he was saying, but I didn’t feel anything inside amounting to panic or even worry. It just sounded too far-fetched. “Well--I don’t know why I should be upset. You’re the only one who’s said anything so far. Besides, isn’t Jehovah supposed to be protecting us?” Sam blinked and made a thoughtful face for a moment. “In theory, yes. But here we are in prison and there are such things as martyrs, you know!” I had to laugh. Soon Sam laughed as well. “We’ll wait and see. We’ll just have to wait and see.” ______________ Sunday, June 9, 1968, Washington Post article: A reporter from the prestigious Washington Post was welcomed into Bashar Sirhan’s home overlooking the Dead Sea as cold beer was delivered. The reporter asked the assassin’s father about his connection with the Jehovah’s Witness ‘sect’ (presumably from the eleven years spent in California). This was only a few days after the first news article mentioning the JW’s. This time, Bishara refused to talk about it directly and complained about his gossiping neighbors. Finally, he shrugged away prying questions ‘with some irritation’ by saying, "These are confidential matters." (PDF copy of Washington Post article) http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg Subject Index Files/K Disk/Kennedy Robert F Assassination Clips/Item 111.pdf __________________ These two publicized mentions of Jehovah’s Witnesses had created an effect. Watchtower Society was in panic mode--or--if that’s too exaggerated an expression, let’s prudently amend it to: they were in ‘crisis prevention’ mode. Why? Subscribers to the Watchtower magazine had immediately begun canceling subscriptions! Subscriptions were obtained by sending JW’s door to door, a laborious process at best. Each canceled subscription represented hundreds of man-hours of grunt work (called ministry.) A secret letter was sent to each city by the Watchtower headquarters with instructions not to show the contents of said letter to any outsiders. The message was to be copied and passed from congregation to congregation. Headquarters didn’t seem to know any details of any JW connection with the Sirhan family. A vigorous denial was suggested unless anybody at the local level had contrary personal information. The letter is dated a month after the news article appeared. Photocopy of confidential letter: ______________ http://watchtowerdocuments.org/documents/1968_Watchtower_letter_on_Kennedy.pdf _____________ Why all the fuss? Two reasons I can offer at this late date 48 years later on. JFK’s assassination was the most sensational, world-stopping event in my 69 year lifetime. I was 16 years old on November 22, 1963, and one day later became officially a member of Jehovah’s Witnesses at an assembly in Cleburne, Texas. (Oddly during that religious assembly, not one word was said concerning the sensational murder the day before! It was all happy-happy New World Society talk and religious jabber.) Among Jehovah’s Witnesses, every single world event is proof positive of End Times signs and wonders! This is how newspapers and newscasts are filtered through their consciousness. Everything “proves” we were right! Any minute now--the Great Tribulation and Armageddon will come and sweep everything and everybody but--US! We were “the only true religion.” Jehovah’s Witnesses are self-centered on purpose, you see. They expect to be the bullseye of Satan’s target when the End comes. This is (cough cough) predicted in advance in scripture. Having the words “Jehovah’s Witness” linked in a newspaper with a world-shaking assassination naturally alerted every one of us--”This is it!” Half a century later, nothing has changed. At recent District conventions with huge audiences in attendance, the Watchtower showed slick video dramatizations about---guess what? The bunker mentality they are still promoting! Any day now the Great Tribulation and Armageddon will come. Will they be ready? _________________ Back to Sirhan Sirhan ________________ On June 7 in Los Angeles, a News Dispatch: In this more detailed news story, the Elders in Bishara’s community (whom he called ‘gossips’) provided news reporters with these tidbits of enlightenment: “The Elders said the family became connected with Jehovah’s Witnesses ‘many years’ ago. And it was that religious group which paid the way for the Sirhan family to go to the United States in 1957. These notables said they believed Bishara still received money from the Jehovah’s Witnesses in addition to money sent by his other son. When asked, Sirhan claimed he lived off a ‘small pension’ and a bit of farming. The article explained that Jehovah’s Witnesses had been banned in Jordan in 1959, but had continued to operate secretly, particularly in the old Arab sector of Jerusalem. Los Angeles authorities reported that Sirhan had been admitted into the U.S. as a permanent resident who could remain indefinitely without applying for citizenship.” _____________________ (PDF of Los Angeles News Dispatch article: http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg Subject Index Files/K Disk/Kennedy Robert F Assassination Clips/Item 062.pdf) ______________________________ The Palestinian-born Sirhan is serving a life sentence for gunning down Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, shortly after he won the California Democratic presidential primary. Kennedy died the next day. Sirhan was sentenced to death in 1969. His sentence was commuted to life in prison after California banned the death penalty. He has said that he had no recollection of the killing. _____________________________ Why did Sirhan Sirhan kill RFK? At the time of his arrest, Sirhan spoke of being “. . .opposed to Kennedy’s support of Israel.” What are Jehovah’s Witness views on Zionism and Israel? In 1946, during the time the horrors of the holocaust were emerging, the Watchtower made the following comments about Jews. "Nothing in the modern return of Jews to Palestine and the setting up of the Israeli republic corresponds with the Bible prophecies concerning the restoration of Jehovah's name- people to his favor and organization … The remnant of spiritual Israelites, as Jehovah's Witnesses have proclaimed worldwide the establishment of God's kingdom in 1914" Let God Be True (1946) Second ed. pp.217-218 "There is no evidence in the Scriptures that the Jews as a people are meek. On the contrary, Jehovah's Witnesses only find it stated in the Bible that the Jews are "stiff-necked and hard-hearted", but when they call at their homes with the message of God's kingdom they witness the same characteristics. They seem to think that because they are Jews, and were once God's chosen people, they must ever remain that way." Consolation 1946 Jan 2 pp. 14,15 ____________________ Historical note: Jehovah’s Witnesses had spent the previous 60 years as Pro-Zionists. Suddenly, a 180 degree shift appeared contrary to that stance. [Watchtower 1955 May 15 p.296, and the "back to Palestine" movement that the Watchtower had promoted became labeled as a teaching of Satan: "By the publication of Volume 2 of the book Vindication that year, Jehovah's witnesses came to see that such a "back to Palestine" movement was by the spirit of Jehovah's archfoe, Satan, who has deceived the entire inhabited earth."] http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/zionism.php ______________ The Question now arises, could Sirhan Sirhan in any way have been influenced by the writings of the Jehovah’s Witnesses in some disturbing way, seeing in print the Zionists were backed by Satan? ____________ 48 years after the fatal shooting, Sirhan Sirhan is denied parole for the 15th time. We may never know, but it is a question I’ve heard asked. The Watchtower’s reaction to the mention of Jehovah’s Witness connection to the RFK killing may have brought to mind this anti-Zionist propaganda they were responsible for spreading. Did the collective leadership feel a sense of responsibility? Did their eagerness in trying to distance themselves indicate awareness of culpability, guilty conscience, or simply a desire to prevent the loss of subscribers? Like I said, we may never know. Conspiracy theories spring up easily like mushrooms after a spring rain and they are as difficult to snuff out as a forest fire. This is my personal memory of those dark days in prison, it was a decade of upheaval when I was in the thrall of a cult myself, willing to sacrifice freedom for Belief. If Jehovah said, "Frog", I was told it was my duty to respond by saying, "How high?" But, enough idle speculations and reminisciences. "These are confidential matters." - Via Terry Walstrom

No cash? No problem!

See the video depiction of JW Paradise using the worldly actress above:

"Worldly" actress used in the portrayal of JW Paradise? This is unprecedented.

Worldly Actress in JW.ORG's "Paradise" Video Those who have learned that the “Paradise” video’s soundtrack “Eternal Flame” is from AudioMachine’s 2012 “Epica” Album will probably not be surprised to learn that many of the video’s scenes are ‘stock’ footage, widely available on the Internet. Among a number of stunning ‘nature’ clips used in the video are: a magnificent green garden available from Getty Images - http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/video/tracking-shot-exploring-a-green-flowered-country-stock-video-footage/454397139 as well as “GoodOlga’s” breath-taking waterfall video from New Zealand that can be purchased from Pond5 - https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/10898922/close-approach-waterfall-boat.html Perhaps the biggest give-away that the video was generously peppered with worldly content was the young girl running through the wheat field to hand Sergei his beloved violin. Turns out a videographer named Dzmitry Andreyeu (UZHursky) holds the copyright: http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.html Probably you noticed it immediately too! After all, we’ve been hearing a lot about Spanx and tight pants for a while now….and her dress… just too short… and that somewhat…. ‘transparent’ material….well just doesn’t seem appropriate….even for “Paradise.” Now I know there’s been a lot of discussion about the relevancy of types and antitypes of late, but the question many are wondering about now is: Does the @The Librarian believe Sergei’s young companion could represent the “Gibeonite” or “Nethinim” class (Joshua 9:26,27)?

Here is how Jehovah's Witnesses use the above song for their Official depiction of Paradise: And yet I was scolded in Bethel back in the 1980's when I added a beat to one of the Kingdom Songs because it was mixing worldly beats to theocratic music? Has our Faithful and Discreet Slave been infiltrated by the Scientologists at the very highest levels?

The very last video at the convention, features some really awesome music. The piece is entitled “Eternal Flame”. Truly uplifting!!! And if you’re a music fan, once you hear it you will always remember the score. Over a million people have listened to the composition on You Tube over the past 3+ years and the comments indicate just about everyone who hears this epic song feels truly invigorated and inspired. One listener left the following comment: “When the times comes, you will know there is something in you that you haven't discovered yet. You will feel like a ball of energy is trying to leave your chest. A power that you have yet to unlock. When the time comes that you are ready, believe it. You have much more in you than you ever imagined. The fire of a thousands suns is waiting to unleash their power from inside you. When the times comes, let your eternal flame burn like a million suns. Let your power lead you to the suns...” And another said: “Can totally imagine myself slow-walking away from a battlefield with a great-axe slung over my shoulder and the rays of the setting sun at my back.” The song “Eternal Flame” is a composition of AudioMachine. AudioMachine is a motion picture advertising music production house, specializing in original music and sound design for the high end movie-trailer market. The company is the "go to" choice for many producers, editors and music supervisors in search of the perfect cue for their next blockbuster movie campaign.

The song “Eternal Flame”, used to conclude the 2016 Regional Convention’s video presentation, was released on AudioMachine’s “Epica” Album in 2012.

1.) Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2.) If you have to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings". 3.) There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness". 4.) People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 5.) And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle. 6.) You should not confuse your career with your life. 7.) No matter what happens... somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 8.) When trouble arises & things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution & is willing to take command. Very often, that person is crazy. 9.) Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. 10.) A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. 11.) Never lick a steak knife. 12.) Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie. 13.) "The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers. 14.) You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 15.) Your REAL friends still love you anyway.

Demon possession comes to mind....

I thought it interesting to note the modern Star Trek clothing will be used and that fresh fruit will still be flown in off season by jets.. Also interesting was the use of the worldly song to depict the scene. This is the final video of the 2016 Regional Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses. Music in video is "Eternal Flame" by Paul Dinletir In the past we were not allowed to mix worldly music with Jehovah's True Worship at an assembly. So this is another big change. Prince might have some music we could license and use in future videos. Keep dreaming my friends. The dream is too good to let go. "....it will not be late" Hugs,

So sad to see him peak inside the conservatory at the end. ;-(

Some are speculating that eventually there will be a cutback in the number of Elders in a congregation and a return to the 1930-1970 Servant’s model. Most of the duties have now been centralized anyhow.... I guess it is very possible.

Between 11/2015 and 05/2016 they merged in Germany 48 congs into 24 congs. In this time they build 16 language-groups and 3 sign-language-groups. It looks like they cover up the reduction of regular congs with language-groups. In 2015 there 2201 congs in Germany - Yearbook 2015. The review from the 01/2007 till 05/2016: They merged 372 congs to 186 congs. They establish 137 new language-congs. They establish 6 new german congs. They establish 6 new sign-language congs. So the small 146 language-congs cover up the closing from 186 congs. http://www.jehovaszeugen.de/Amtsblatt.44.0.html
