The bottom of the page states that this will only be of interest to JWs.
However, I am planning to use it to track my TV viewing. [:)}
What will you use it for?

On the subject of counting time, you might be interested in this quote from an earlier post:
1. COUNTING TIME. Count all of the literature, books, magazines, hours, return visits, and bible studies each month and make a written record and REPORT it to the Headquarters Staff at Brooklyn Bethel each and every month. Further, each publisher, that's 5-6 million JWs, are REQUIRED TO DO THIS WORLDWIDE! It is a "commandment of men"...pure and simple.
Mark 7:7-9 says:
"It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines COMMANDS OF MEN. Letting go the commandment of God, you hold fast the tradition of men." Further, he went on to say to then: Adroiltly you set aside the commandment of God in order to retain Your tradition."
COUNTING & REPORTING TIME and Keeping Records of it, a unique practice of JWs, actually fits this scenio perfectly.
Jesus taught, when it comes to good works, and the giving of "gifts of mercy" -- ...
'take care NOT TO PRACTICE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN FRONT OF MEN...'
'do not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing...'
'do your good works in SECRET, and your heavenly father, who is looking on in secret, will reward you also in SECRET.' -- [Gist] Matt. 6:1-4
This "commandment" of "counting and reporting time, a longstanding practice of Jehovah's Witnesses, is no where to be found in the Bible itself. First century christians did no such things at all. It is a "commandment" of the WTS! A "commandment of men."
Thus, idolatry..."creature worship!"

Notice the "donation" info? Why the hell don't they just put a price on it for Christ's sake? I think they like the idea of chastising some "spiritually weak" JW's for not "donating".
Anyhoo, I'm not sure what I'll do with my copy yet.

Logical,
Agreed. I thought it was kind of funny how someone would make a mountain out of a molehill.
I just can't imagine Jesus needed the depth of those statistics to judge heart conditions!

I agree too. It always seemed so odd to me, and though they tried to explain it using the God is a God of order scripture, it never made sense.

I think we could use this to count time on Jehovah-Witness.com. What say you Simon; will you keep track and send to the Tower? You could even turn in time for our Special Pioneers; larc and waiting!
