  Hi All,

  Computer was down for a week, just quit working. I built a new one, AMD200+ and the first thing I do is come here. Anyway.......

  I was driving by a car that a guy was working on and I thought I recognized him, so I turned around and went back and it was a JW that I had known for years. I drove him to get a part for it and we talked for a while. He said I haven't seen you at the KH in years. You don't believe it anymore do you? I said not really. Any way after we fixed the car he said that the preaching work seems about through. No one listens anymore. He said they used to push you to get 10 hours a month but not anymore. He said Jesus never went door to door. The end could be a thousand years away and most of the young ones don't seem to have any zeal and are leaving. WOW! What has happened at the local KH. I just might have to go back to the KH to see!!

  Hi DE,

  I just bought the components and put them together. I had the HDs, DVD, FD. I bought a new case, motherboard, CPU & Fan,& memory. It seems to be working OK for now, I just need to increase my memory, it is DDR and my old one used SDRam so I couldn't use it. You were probably wise to just get a new system, I've seen them for $350 with a CDRW and 1.2GHZ CPU, 20 GIG HD, 128MB MEM.

  Ken, I don't think you have to worry about your memory. If you can build your own computer your memory is just fine.

  Let me clarify. I was refering to a post you posted about a month ago.

  Undecided - No things aren't the way they used to be - downgrading everything - I went to the DC this summer and was surprised at how bad theings were - no pride anymore.

  BTW I just built a new computer too. The only thing I still need to get is a video capture card and another 128 M ram. I had a bit of problems getting some of the older cards to work with the newer motherboard but since I had extra parts from other computers I mixed and matched until things finally worked

  To those who haven't done this themsleves it really is a lot easier than you think. I taught myself and do all my own work now - instead of paying $75 / hour for some other guy to do it.

  I wonder if they're putting a spin on things. Decreased zeal, lack of participation in field service, lower hours, etc...could be twisted around and now they could tell them, "We're so close to the end, God has told us to wrap up the preaching work, we're now being attacked, Jehovah will soon defend his true servants...." blah blah blah....

  Sounds like this person is going into a deep depression. This might be the beginning of the journey we all had to go through. If I were you I'd start taking care of this person.

  I wonder??
