Oh, thats very long ago....  In the Librarian's archives of sure we have it !   I will ask our special Brother ARchiv@L for showing
  Then I guess, you know alot books....  Thanks for your informative comment, Brother @Colin Browne   Greetings from Germany !
Although Scofield's reference Bible gives credit to God's name throughout, I copied one of the pages where the name Jehovah occurs many times. You may find it useful to when speaking about God during the ministry. I'm not sure whether it was posted before.

 MEMORIAL BIBLE READING:
(Daytime events: Nisan 16) John 20:2-18(The chapters about Jesus' time just before his death are from the book
JESUS—THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE are in SECTION 6—JESUS’ FINAL MINISTRY
The attachment is undeniable proof that the cross has it's roots in paganism.
In fact everything in this world has some or other connection to paganism. For instance, the days of the week and the months of the year are both named after false gods.

As soon as we thought we've heard everything, along comes the latest news about Jesus.

Hello Brother @Colin Browne ...Â
  Quickly a short answer, bec. I'm still very busy at home !
My dad was NOT a JW when he died....  but I know, Jehovah will bring him back,  bec. he paid with his death !  He must study the Bible in the NW????
Of course, your wife will come back to 100 % too, Â she was a JW, Â AND she died.... Â Maybe, she will come earlier, bec. we need many teacher for the later resurrected people.
Alot different work is to do in the NW? Â Never a boring time... Â and ALL in LOVE and PEACE

More details little later please??Â
 Agape and thank you !Â
Sister, you said "Of course, your wife will come back to 100 % too, Â she was a JW, Â AND she died.... Â Maybe, she will come earlier, bec. we need many teacher for the later resurrected people."
I've always believed this. Our little congregation (Blacks and Whites) numbers about 200. It is almost impossible for us alone to bury the bones of so many thousands. The suburb of Gonubie is vast. Beside the many townhouse complexes, there are many small holdings and farms. Women are needed to do the washing, ironing, sewing and cooking, etc., while the men are out collecting bones and weapons.

Those who died were acquitted from their sins (Romans 6:7) this includes all sins including those inherited due to imperfection, so be assured that your dad will definitely be resurrected.

Sister QE, maybe you also know all the changes made to the Kingdom songs. If not keep the attachment 'Kingdom Songs, In and Out' for future reference.

This song no longer appears in the song book, but remains one of our favourites:
LetÂ’s watch How We Walk (Eph. 5:15) Previously song 106
1. LetÂ’s watch how we walk and watch how we talk - That thus we may be alert and wise.
Buying out the opportune time – Since this world in Satan Lies.
Yes, watch how we walk and watch how we talk – That thus we may be alert and wise.
2. Let’s watch what we preach and watch what we preach – Encourage meek ones to take their stand.
By our Bible study with them – Give them all a helping hand.
Yes, watch what we preach and watch what we teach – And thus help meek ones to take their stand
By our Bible study with them – Give them all a helping hand.
3. Let’s watch how we greet and watch how we treat – All those we meet in our ministry.
Like Christ Jesus, our Fine Shepherd – Care for his sheep lovingly.
Yes, watch how we greet and watch how we treat – And stumble none in our ministry.

Your dad was probably a witness, then he will come back. So will my wife. She had arthritis and deformed feet, but we did our field ministry right until a few days before she died at 86 years old. She will also be pleased to know that I made enlargements of all her photos which she so much loved.
A recent Watchtower told us to be patient about the resurrection, it may take some time before that can happen. Armageddon survivors must first bury the bones of the dead, and destroy all weapons of war. No doubt all cemeteries will be destroyed so that the earth can be in a peaceful state with no signs of war, sickness and death.
Our Gonubie Kingdom Hall has three Sunday meetings. For Blacks, the Afrikaners and the English. The property adjacent to the hall also belongs to us. It's reserved for brothers sent from Bethel to build prefabricated homes for the poor in Black areas in the Transkei.

It's this type of religious intolerance that will see us being banned by the UN:
United Nations to ban religion? http://able2know.org/topic/50801-1
Forums: United Nations, Spirituality And Religion, Religion, Un, Banning
This was a proposal submitted to the UN last year. The formulism site is now off line, but the formulism movement seems quite alive.
Source is PRweb.Com
The resolution is being proposed by Antony Last, founder of formulism.org, a site which claims that freedom FROM religion would be of far greater benefit to mankind than freedom OF religion.
Freedom from Religion | Proposed UN Resolution / Charter Amendment | Version 1.1
WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS HEREBY VOW
* to save succeeding generations from the scourge of organized religion, a folly which has brought untold sorrow to mankind through the division, hatred and conflict it engenders, and
* to reaffirm an individual's right to freedom of belief, freedom of conscience and freedom of prayer, and
* to establish conditions under which these freedoms can be privately exercised.
AND FOR THESE ENDS WE UNDERTAKE
1. To outlaw, with immediate effect, the public expression of religious beliefs, including the use of symbols, clothing or markings which are synonymous with any currently or previously existing religions.
2. To outlaw, with immediate effect, public acts of worship or religious declaration.
3. To outlaw, with immediate effect, private gatherings of three or more people for the purposes of engaging in acts of worship or religious services.
4. To outlaw, with immediate effect, the publication of books, literature or articles which seek to promote religious beliefs or encourage adherence to religious doctrine.
5. To outlaw, after a period of amnesty, the personal ownership of books or materials which seek to promote religious beliefs or encourage adherence to religious doctrine. (Books of academic or social interest will be made freely available to schools, universities and public libraries).
6. To outlaw, with immediate effect, the celebration of religiously significant dates.
7. To begin, with immediate effect, the destruction or reassignment of predominantly religious buildings, such as churches, mosques and temples.....................

Brahmin - no religion should be banned. but missionaries / those who try to hardsell their religion - of all religions should be punishable by law. if someone has to convert, he/she will - on his own.
in today's information age, the bull-crap of "the missionaries need to take the religion to the unsaved - how else will he/she know how ignorant he/she is" – don’t hold.If you go to the link provided above you'll see reader comments on this.

I have a very good friend with whom I often work doing street work with the trolley. During idle moments we share scriptural thoughts. In this way we broaden our knowledge of Jehovah's word. (Psalm 17:27)
Many stop to examine the literature on display. Considering that the need is greater among the Black population, we try to draw their interest to God's kingdom with the brochure 'Who really controls the world', and 'Can the dead really live again'.
Watch the video and see how violent some can be in other countries. The perpetrator is actually a church minister. (Luke 23:34)
I had a problem sending this message. While keeping this website loaded, I briefly went back to the folder to check whether there were related incidents. When I returned the internet was dropped and it took a while to get back. Perhaps someone can explain what to do in such cases.

The problem with tablets and other electronic devices is they will eventually die without a power source. Books of course will get old and brittle with age, but it takes many years. No idea what books we will have in NW, but my goal is to be there to find out.
When some apostate or other opposed brings up some older publication I generally say that I am not interested in what they we believed in the past, but am interested in what we believe now. I am very thankful that Jehovah's Faithful Slave is willing to admit mistakes of the past and move forward.
Cheers my friends.
> The problem with tablets and other electronic devices is they will eventually die without a power source.
How true brother, we should not be antique collectors.
Our collection of old books, bound WT,s etc.. were taken with us wherever we went since the 50's. By 1968 the list included The Harp of God in early Dutch. Circa 2012 these were all given to an elder friend a year before going to an old age home, including Byingtons Bible. (Only 100,000 were printed). He in turn gave half of these to other brothers. We kept only one old booklet and four of the later books.
We would be just as happy using the Bible and the Watchtower Library.

   Bye for now >>>>>>>>
Although we avoid involvement in worldly politics, we are allowed to read or listen to news broadcasts. In some cases, it strengthens our faith in JehovahÂ’s prophecies:
“And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.”
       (Psalm 2; 76:12; Isa. 24:21, 22; Revelation 16:13,14; 17:2;19:19)
The website below tells about ‘Necklacing’ which was the cruel method of torturing and killing people by placing petrol-soaked motor car tyres around their necks and setting these alight.

Sister QE, I still don't know how to navigate at this website. You once offered to send a list of all the pages you work on, but I was too busy at the time. Can you please send them now so that I can save them to Internet explorer's favourites. Perhaps this will assist in visiting all and that I could become more active here.

Sorry to hear that sister. Anyhow, I've never had a virus during the past 30 years, and my Windows Defender gave me the all clear a few minutes ago. Before downloading any material, I use NORTON Safe site which is free to all users.
Few people these days use WORDPAD, which is probably the problem. One brother said that he could not read .DOCX which is why
I've uploaded the same file in .DOCX this time. Let me know when all is well.

What Is the Resurrection ?
The Bible’s answer....
In the Bible, the word translated as “resurrection” comes from the Greek a·na?sta·sis, which means “raising up” or “standing up again.” A person who is resurrected is raised up from death and restored to life as the person he was before.—1 Corinthians 15:12, 13.
Although the word “resurrection” is not in the Hebrew Scriptures, often called the Old Testament, the teaching appears there. Through the prophet Hosea, for example, God promised: “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; from death I will recover them.”—Hosea 13:14; Job 14:13-15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2, 13.
http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/what-is-the-resurrection/
Sister Esther I copied those pictures for my collection - thanks.
Regarding the future resurrection, Unless these are informed that Jesus resurrected them, (John 6:40) we may have difficulty convincing those of other faiths. Some may claim that their God brought them back, and it won't be a picnic convincing them of the truth.
For instance, disciples of Ron L Hubbard's Scientology also believe they that once they have reached the state of 'clear', they will all come back after death. The Japanese and many African countries share belief in their ancestor afterlife.
My wife and I had many discussions with the latter, and were often successful when reading to them the following scriptures:
Ex. 4:19 Moses was to return to Egypt because all who sought to kill him were dead.
Eccl. 9:4-6 Their hate and love die with them, which means; even if their parents promised to help them after their death, they cannot, because they are not able to hear or help them - Eccl. 3:19)Â
Isa. 8:19 Talking to the dead offends Jehovah. He told the Israelites to talk to him.

I cant remember the two books at the bottom right side.
But I do mention that our society will not be making too many books in future. Firstly, there is very little still to learn. Books were published for all prophets, including the so called, minor prophets, and last being the Jesus book "The way, the truth and the light."
Their expenses are very high. The missionaries have to travel, teach, be accomodated and eat. Anyone wanting to donate can use the information below. Money can be transferred from any bank.
