Watch Tower Society owns web domains: www.MT2414.com and www.PS8318.com
by Gilgamesh in(my apologies if this was already discussed somewhere else.).
i noticed that the domain www.mt2414.com was taken, and when i tested it, it was a mirror of the log in portion of the www.jw.org site, where you can look up assemblies, kingdom halls, and make either one time or recurring donations.
so i created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification).

if I had to guess what next "big" thing they'd do with JWB, it would be Sunday talks being a video from corporate HQ. Announce that in 4-6 months this will be starting, that will give halls that don't already have the equipment for this kind of set up..motivation to keep with Jehovah's chariot. -

In the first 90 seconds..the old wt radio station wbbr started on February 24 1924...JWB was started in February 24 2014..proof that Jehovah's hand was directing it!!! These JWB guys are something else..ive noticed from following some of their personal Twitter accounts they love using that phrase "Jehovah's hand" -

Perfection? Ponder this...
by OverlappingGeneralizations inhello all- nice forum.i have been contemplating a fade for a while, and i have been reading various sites such as this one.
i have seen all kinds of things that have made me think.
but something came to mind lately, and i wanted to throw it out there-satan was cast down to the earth, and he is supposedly the cause of all imperfection.

Interesting question/theory, I've never heard that one before. The second test always made me wonder as well. So we make it past the great tribulation, Armageddon, get to the paradise! But hang one, we're not done yet! One more test!
my answer to your first question would be..interesting thought, except satan isn't real.

If you could ask Geoffrey Jackson one question that he had to answer what would it be?
by jwleaks inwhat question would you ask geoffrey jackson, as a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, to answer?
.
jw leaks.

Can the governing body change the 2 witness rule with a simple vote on the issue? Do you only need a 2/3 majority to change the policy, or does it have to be unanimous? How would you, Mr. Jackson vote on the issue? -

I brought it up with a relative, asked them if they had heard what was going on in Australia? They hadn't of course. When I told them all I got was "where did you read that?"And then "it's negative! Why would you talk about that?" They didn't want to talk about it. I asked them if I heard a news story about a safety recall on their car, should I not bring it up because it's a negative story about something they like?? I got a dirty look and the subject was changed. -

another abuse that most JW children go through is severe "spankings" at the hall..is that still going on?
by wwjdnwt ini was born into the jw's religion.
was an active jw for over 30 years.
i remember when i was a child my mom would take me in the bathroom and switch me so hard with the nice little switch she got from the tree outside.

I recall many a beating took place in my hall growing up in the 80's and 90's. We had a "library" room in the back that was the spanking room. I don't think anyone ever read any of the books back there. I remember a wooden ruler was used until one overzealous parent broke it to pieces over the backside of some poor kid. I used to get smacked upside the head whenever I started to fall asleep in my chair. Now I see kids passed out sleeping on the floor during meeting, people laughing about how cute it is, in my day that got you a beating. -

Looking Back in Retrospect to 1995 ...
by LoveUniHateExams ini very much enjoyed reading through titch's thread: 'looking back in retrospect to 1975 ...' and all the comments from posters that lived through that event and remembered it.. i was born in 1979, so had nothing to offer for that thread.. however, i do remember very clearly living through 1995 (the end of the 1914 generation) and remember how it affected me and my view of the wts.
up until oct/nov 1995, i genuinely believed the society to be god's one true earthly organisation.
the watchtower presenting the new meaning of generation seriously shook my faith in the wts and, i suppose, started me on my journey to ttatt.

I remember as a young teenager, pre-1995 change arguing with my mom that I could mathematically figure out when the end was coming. I thought ok the 1914 generation will still be around so if Armageddon doesn't come by 2000 it isn't coming at all! She of course said no it doesn't work like that but it's coming soon! Pre 1995 all the parents in my hall would tell all of us kids "you'll never graduate high school" after the change all that talk stopped. When they did change it I just thought, ok they don't really know what Jesus said so they're going with a kinda general vague answer. When the overlapping change happened that's when it dawned on me..wait...God isn't directing everything these guys say!? It truly was the trigger for me to wake up.
