Prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves.​—Matt. 10:16.
Many of today’s refugees come from countries where our preaching work is restricted. Thanks to zealous Witnesses in the lands receiving refugees, thousands of refugees are hearing “the word of the Kingdom” for the first time. (Matt. 13:19, 23) Many who are “loaded down” are finding spiritual refreshment at our meetings and quickly acknowledge: “God is really among you.” (Matt. 11:28-30; 1 Cor. 14:25) Those who preach to refugees need to be “cautious” and even “shrewd.” (Prov. 22:3) Listen patiently to their concerns, but do not discuss politics. Follow directions from the branch office and from local authorities; never put yourself or others at risk. Learn and respect refugees’ religious and cultural sensitivities. For instance, people from some lands have strong feelings about proper dress for women. Therefore, when preaching to refugees, dress so as not to cause needless offense. w17.05 7 ¶17-18

Watchtower Bible School of Gilead

Curriculum and goalsEdit

First class of Watchtower Bible School of Gilead in 1943.
Theology lecturer George D. Chryssideswrites that the initial Gilead syllabus was “described as the Advanced Course in Theocratic Ministry”; within months the program led to “similar training” in congregations as the Theocratic Ministry School.[28] Female Witnesses could enroll in Gilead school and present talks since its inception in 1943, but could not enroll in congregation schools until 1959.[29][30]
The school is held twice each year and lasts about five months.[31] Students are selected by invitation, and are usually married couples in their thirties who have been involved in missionary work in their home countries for a number of years.[32] After graduation, they are assigned mainly to Africa, South America, Asia and islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Gilead School’s main textbook is the Bible. Lectures and student presentations focus on a verse-by-verse study of each book of the Bible, alternating between the Old and New Testaments, which they refer to as the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. The curriculum is based on Jehovah’s Witnesses’ New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, although other reference material, including other Bible translations are used.[33][34] Students are also taught about changes in culture and language as well as techniques for conducting meetings and Bible classes. Some students receive additional practical training for translation and literature production.[35]

HistoryEdit

In 1942, Nathan H. Knorr, then president of the Watchtower Society, proposed the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead as an opportunity to expand their global preaching efforts.[6]Originally intended as a temporary program,[7]the first class began on February 1, 1943. No tuition was to be charged. Five months later, graduating students began to move out to their assignments in nine Latin-American countries, including Cuba.[8] As early as 1956, graduates were serving “in about a hundred different lands”.[9]
Gilead School has held classes at several of the facilities operated by the Watchtower Society:
As of 2014, Gilead has trained 136 classes.[13] In 2008, Gilead School surpassed 8000 students.[14][15][16] Encyclopædia Britannica notes that Gilead was intended to train “missionaries and leaders”;[17] two current members of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses are Gilead graduates,[18][19] as were four deceased members.[20][21][22][23]
In 1987, an ancillary 8½ week Bible School for Single Brothers was introduced for single elders and ministerial servants (their term for deacons).[24][25][26] A similar Bible School for Christian Coupleswas introduced in 2010 for wives to attend with their husbands.[27]

Hymn

Hymn

This article is about the type of song. For the character in Roman mythology, see Hymnus (son of Entoria). For other uses, see Hymn (disambiguation).

Arvid Liljelund [de; fi; sv]‘s Man Singing Hymn (1884)
A hymn is a type of song, usually religious, specifically written for the purpose of adoration or prayer, and typically addressed to a deity or deities, or to a prominent figure or personification. The word hymn derives from Greek ὕμνος (hymnos), which means “a song of praise”. A writer of hymns is known as a hymnodist. The singing or composition of hymns is called hymnody. Collections of hymns are known as hymnals or hymn books. Hymns may or may not include instrumental accompaniment.
Although most familiar to speakers of English in the context of Christianity, hymns are also a fixture of other world religions, especially on the Indian subcontinent. Hymns also survive from antiquity, especially from Egyptian and Greek cultures. Some of the oldest surviving examples of notated music are hymns with Greek texts.

Jehovah’s Witnesses and the United Nations

Jehovah’s Witnesses’ interactions with the United NationsEdit

In February 1992, Jehovah’s Witnesses’ New York corporation, the Watchtower Society, was granted association as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) of the United Nations Department of Public Information (UN/DPI). The Watchtower Society requested termination of the association in October 2001, and the DPI disassociated the NGO on 9 October[12] after the matter was reported in The Guardian.[13][14] A UN/DPI letter dated March 4, 2004, states, “The principal purpose of association of non-governmental organizations with the United Nations Department of Public Information is the redissemination of information in order to increase public understanding of the principles, activities and achievements of the United Nations and its Agencies.”[15] The letter explained that “[b]y accepting association with DPI, the organization agreed to meet criteria for association, including support and respect of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes with its constituents and to a broader audience about UN activities.”[15] The official site further notes that association with the UN/DPI “does not constitute their incorporation into the United Nations system, nor does it entitle associated organizations or their staff to any kind of privileges, immunities or special status.”[16]
Jehovah’s Witnesses have appealed to the United Nations Human Rights Committee about sanctions against their members’ activities. Between April 2013 and early April 2016, Jehovah’s Witnesses submitted 48 appeals to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, complaining that punishments for sharing faith violate the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[17]
