I am a TV Tech. Without seeing the Faulty, you might be lucky enought to adjust it out. Open the back and look at the EHT, there should be 2 pots on it, one is for the Focus and the other is the screen voltage, the screen voltage seems to be too high, turn the pot down a bit, the picture will get a bit darker but the lines should disappear if this doesn't work then it could be caused by a faulty Vertical Amp. If all this seems strange to you then for God's sake don't touch it at all, you'll only hurt yourself.

Anyone here any good at fixing TVs?
by ballistic insorry for the completely non-jw related topic, but.... my sony trinitron tv had a number of thin blue horizontal lines appear towards the top of the screen.
i did some research and these appear to be "fly back lines" caused by the retrace showing as the gun moves back up the screen.. rather than call an engineer, i decided to buy another tv on ebay.
get it home, plug it in and this one has exactly the same problem except red lines instead of blue.. i'm just wondering what are the chances of this happening???

by lovelylil intoday i received the letter sent to all the elders in michigan that our friend outaservice was referring to a few days ago.
i was planning on scanning it and putting it up on the jwd.
but the print if very, very tiny and my hubby (who knows how to scan) said it will be very hard to see.

It doesn't matter how tiny the type is, if you scan it, the scanner can enlarge it. Also, you can run it with an OCR program that will tranfer the File into a text file that can be read by a Word Processor. Send the Letter to someone who knows about this and let him/her do it.

Of course the guilt trip continued, even the Drama showed some guy back in ancient Israel times who was a bad boy for not going to all the days of the 8 day festival, he missed the first day. Hint…Hint…
A nd a resolution at the end, it seemed that they decided we will all do more in WTS serviced, and we say “Ai” to that.
What are the attendance figures in the USA?

How many 'real" friends did you ever really have in ther "truth'
by The Lone Ranger insure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?
a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.
i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.

So when someone leaves the Watchtower and meets new people its like a straight jacket being removed, you finally release what it means to talk freely and what a real friend acts like.

Any Dubs in your Hall that were puportedly "Demonized"?
by Sailor Ripley inwe had a whole family that moved into our congo when i was about 10. they had kids from 6 to 16-years-old.
there was always talk of their beds spinning and shoes floating, et cetera.
they lived in a literal shack so i didn't want to go there to spend the night, but i always wanted to go and "check it out" to see some fireworks.

Its Demonized !!!!!!!!!! Some just love to use those words. Every time something happens they think it’s the demons. If someone hears voices they are most likely mental ill.
I knew a couple that thought the crackle of the volume control on the radio meant the radio was demonized, its only a dusty the volume control that causes that.
Another couple, the Television would sometimes turn OFF and ON by itself, this was caused by a Sticky remote control, probably had soft drink spilt on it, and not by the demons.
I've heard that Nuff story even in Australia. I didn't beleive it even when I was a beleiver in the WTS.

Ever ask an elder why there are two gods described in the Bible?
by free2beme inface it, there is one very true statement that can be said about the bible.
that is, that there are two completely different gods described.
the old testament, is talking about a angry, vengeful and wrathful god.

What I'm saying, is that just because God has done things that we don't understand that doesn't mean that God was wrong to do those things, it just means that we don't understand fully why he did it, and I’m not going to start throwing rocks at him just because I don’t fully understand.
Some evolutionist that I’ve spoken to at the doors claim that the bible’s explanation of creation is too simplistic, what I assume they were saying is that the bible doesn’t explain HOW God created man, simple saying that God made Man from dust wasn’t a good enough explanation for them, so they decided to go for evolution. The comparison here is that again just because God didn’t fully explain HOW he made Man doesn’t satisfy some. The bible wasn’t written to tell us HOW God made Man nor to explain to us every reason for every thing that he did, like he showed Job, he didn’t need to give us an explanation, and if we feel that God does owe us an explanation then I feel we have the problem.
Hating the WTS is one thing but some of you guys take it out on God.

I knew I was gonna get it from you guys.. but listen, how do you feel when you hear on the news about some nut who go's on a shooting rapepage, then the cops arrest him, and he just go's to jail, the tax payer has to look after him, maybe he even writes a book and gets interviews, I'm sure you've heard stories like this, so does it make you feel? then some social worker says 'there..there..we need to understand..he was suffering from depresion or something like that"...easy for the social wroker to say, try saying that to the victims families, I'm sure they would feel that hanging would be too good for him. you being the same way as these social workers.
