How To Get Fired as Congregation Secretary!
by metatron in
1. jw
2. friends
very simple, really.

say that witnesses are responsible adults and as such, need to turn in their field service reports on time without a lot of reminders.. don't check up on them by phone asking 'where's your time this month?'.

i know that doing things like this can get you canned as secretary.

Who remembers the NWT Bible on 3.5 inch Floppy Disks?
by eyeslice in
1. jw
2. friends
at the dawn of the age of the pc, before the advent of the cd, when pcs had 10 mg hard drives and when few people had pcs at home, the society brought out what at the time was an amazing piece of software: the nwt bible for the pc.

i think it came on something like 12 3.5 inch floppy disks, which took an eternity to load, but as a piece of software was really cool at the time.

it allowed for a full text search way before yahoo and google ever were thought of.

Our religion: American managed! Oil price...
by Ozner in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm a witness from west europe.

many jw's here don't understand the reason of recent congregational change: oil price... the oil price in the united states is still much cheaper than in europe.

how is it possible that the governing body takes the oil price as one of the reasons to change congregational issues?

..Vending Machines and JW Assemblies..
by OUTLAW in

.."out of order"..no vending machine is complete at a jw assembly,without an "out of order" sign on it.....of course it`s not true..the machine works fine..it`s just one of the many lies jw`s are willing to accept from the wbt$.....although..this lie is extremely large and visible,it`s a frigg`n vending machine!..lol!

!.............does the management that rents the facilities to the wbt$,know the wbt$ is disabling them?....does the owners of the vending machines know the wbt$ is disabling them,and interfering with their right to do business in that facility?......could the wbt$ be sued for loss of vending machine business?.......wouldn`t it be fun to let the vending machine owners know their machines are being disabled,at jehovah`s witness assemblies?......it would mean more bad publicity for the wbt$ for lying and court cases they couldn`t win...................outlaw
