  " Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.

  by prologos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

  explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

  together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

  @bohm: By the way, there is nothing new to this. About two years ago I was approached [snip] I can't see how this will work well, the situation of looking at a video on a small screen someone is shaking is just so out of place.
  
  Except for now, two years later (almost a lifetime in digital years) we've reached (and passed!) the 'critical mass' needed for acceptance of viewing vids on cells
  
  I mean, gotta get hip! Sharing (youtube) videos with friends and collegues on mobiles is second nature for digital natives - we're all doing it, literally.
  
  Aparently as of January 2014:

  • 40% of YouTube's traffic now comes from mobile. Compare that to just 25% last year and a paltry 6% only two years ago.

  • About 50 million people in the U.S. now watch video on their mobile phones.

  • YouTube accounts for nearly one-fifth of all mobile data traffic.

  @WTWizard: If they are streaming, it is a waste of data. I wonder how many plays it would take a gigabyte of data. True, it can be stored on a SD card that needs to be updated every few months [snip]
  
  But surely you just use the super duper 'all-singing-all-dancing' JW Library App! After all it is the bestest app in the world isn't it ;)
  
  At bottom of app screen, click 'Publications', then the last item out of of four on the left hand side is 'Videos' - click on this and you currently get the option to download and save four videos in a choice of resolution to suit your device:

  • Why Study the Bible?

  • What Happens at a Bible Study?

  • What Happens at a Kingdom Hall?

  • Using JW.ORG to Share the Bible's Message

  That's all folks!

  "Jehovah's Witnesses do better after surgery without transfusion" - Article (July 3, 2012)

  by Da.Furious in

  this article from 2012 published by the birmingham news showed up on my facebook page.. what i would have liked to see in the statistics is the inclusion of total jws refusing blood transfusion and their survival rate not only the ones taht surviced, taking about only survivors is not like for like comparison in my opinion with patients who take blood transfusion and then dont survive.. .

  @blondie

  it was more a light hearted comment in view of what Da.Furious had said prior to your comment, that's why I used both a smiley face and a smirky face to keep things light <sigh> and jgnat was honest ;)
