Its so easy to create an ebook for sale on amazon, why doesn't she just do that ?
It would only take a week or so. Crazy.

november broadcast is up:.
https://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=mp4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201611.
we learn interesting things.
I just watched the music video near the end of the broadcast.
My wife and I watched it together - having a good laugh.
The song and the singer sound like something from a kids tv show.
The strange thing is that the video seems to be made by someone that is awake.
What I mean is that the video is basically saying we have waited all our lives with the new
world just around the corner - starting from being a young newly married couple all
the way to being old and in a wheelchair all the while saying its just around the corner.
I cant see how this is supposed to be encouraging.
Maybe they feel that as these ones are now really old it must be really really right round the corner,lol.

a few years ago a jw lost her husband.
she had enough money to build a nice home but she went over budget and the house remains unfinished.
this past year another jw lost his wife... but there is a happy ending!
Just think, in the new system, they will both be the same age
Yeah and one will be way up in the sky and the other down here,lol.
a darn good arrangement !!
just received this update.

They will hold a public hearing commencing in February 2017
Just in time for the Feb 2017 study edition of the Watchtower,lol.
Hopefully as it is a public hearing we will get video streaming of it again.
That will be awesome !!
november 1, 2016 to all bodies of elders re: using and maintaining kingdom halls.
table of contents.

Okay, so this internet password thing is a big controlling measure.
On the surface it seems a bit strange but understandable.
But then...
I started to think even more about this last night.
I think IMHO that they are cracking down on apostates using the KH wi fi.
and also to check up on other sites that are being visited while at the hall.
I know it sounds far fetched but hey, there are lots of 'still in' awake members of this site, they state that they surf on here and other apostate sites while at the hall.
If everyone has an individual password can they track and see which sites are being visited by looking at the internet logs ?
Im not a tech expert but I am sure this can be done.
How will they know if a JW has accessed "bad" websites, because no one will confess this, will they be tracking everyone ? I don't know.
I don't think that a JW would access porn at the hall, like the letter suggests (maybe some crazy ones would) but apostate sites, yes for sure.
Cant they just allow access to JW.org and nothing else - maybe put a parent filter on or something, Im not an expert but maybe they could do that.
The thing is this...They don't want to mention apostate sites in their letter because then the rumour mill starts, elders wives gossip together and it gets around as to why there are passwords needed.
Then any awake ones will be forewarned. Maybe they just want to catch us out.
It seems like this is their way of tracking everyone.
--------------
The letter says that, If you break the rules then they will take away your password.
Now to me this means that the passwords must be all individual ones.
It makes sense as otherwise they would have to change everyones password when someone 'sins'.
Everyone in the hall will know that someone has been a naughty boy !!
It also means we cant share our password with others, but how will they enforce this ?
They must have it set up so that each member of the hall can only access the internet using their password at one time.
If we are at the hall and our spouse or someone sitting near us notices we cant access the internet using our ipad etc, then they will know we have committed a sin.
We cant ask for their password, then they will definitely know.
If the password is the same for everyone who going to stop us sharing it ?
This is total control.
Im sure we would tell our spouse if we messed up but hey, what about our own personal privacy.
Maybe I am way off here, but I smell something and I think that they are cracking down.
On the surface it seems weird but understandable but now I feel this is even more controlling than before.
Also if they see our password used to access the net, to visit apostate sites then they have all the evidence they need.
WGO.
when i left the org, the jw's tried their best to guilt trip me.
some of the questions i was asked and things i was told:.
"how could you possibly be happy outside of jehovah's organization?
My mum to me on her death bed,
"Please get back to being strong in the truth, get back to being a ministerial servant again"
This was 3 weeks before she died. Nice guilt trip, but she thought she was doing the right thing.
My sister's also have said to me on occasions, "keep in the truth, mum and dad will be looking for you in the new system, and what if your not there, we will all be looking for you"
They don't know how faded I am as yet, but still sowing seeds with them when I get the chance.

i just got off the phone with author barbara grizzuti harrison (visions of glory; italian days, etc.
) who is currently living in brooklyn and has serious health problems.
she is now 67, but is very mentally alert and still has an excellent sense of humor!
Looked online and she sadly passed away in 2002 here is the link to her obit in the New York Times.

You are right - I think he is in New York looking at his social media accounts.
His website http://www.thenicolasking.com
His twitter https://twitter.com/nicolasking
His Facebook https://www.facebook.com/officialnicolasking/?fref=nf
it gives an insight into his world...and to how often he plays worldly jazz clubs all over and yet he is still in good standing !!

Just a thought, if this guy Nicolas has a music career, I wonder if any of the other JW Broadcasting 'choir' members have any kind of current music or stage career as well.
