  Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

  by thedepressedsoul in

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  BTW, anyone looking to build a piratebox that does not already have a device should look at the TP-LINK TL-MR3040. It's a portable router that already runs on battery power and piratebox can be easily installed on it. The battery lasts about 2 - 3 hours, but that could be extended by connecting it to an external USB battery pack.

  I initially thought that tricking a JW into visiting an apostate site or localized version of an apostate site on a piratebox by using an innocuous WIFI name like JW.org or FreeWIFI was a good idea. After reading community responses, I don't think that is a good idea, but I do like the idea of advertising JWFacts.com with your WIFI name or setting up a piratebox with a WIFI name of JWFacts.com and then having Crisis of Conscience available along with other stuff. Tricking them will be seen as underhanded, but if they willfully connect to a WIFI connection called JWFacts.com then on some level they know they are going down the rabbit hole.

  How was it for you when you had to shun someone?

  by Anator in

  i remember a good friend when i was in and active who was d'fd.

  when he started coming back, for me at that time is was gut-wrenching not to say 'hello' or at the very least encourage him to continue.

  i thought even at this time, does this act of shunning really effective?

  The last friend of mine that was DF'd I would still say hi to. We weren't in the same congregation, but I would frequently be at his work because of my work. I'd say hi and even slipped some encouraging words in. I remembered how I felt when I was DF'd and could not bear to do that to someone else. Unfortunately, I have a friend now that is DF'd and when I reached out to him he basically scolded me and said I shouldn't contact him and should think about my relationship with God. He doesn't know of my fade as he lives in another state and even my relatives are unaware. It's like a reverse shunning.

  My First Birthday.....

  by The Marvster in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i awoken today and realised immidiately i'm 44 today... and after 3 years of being out, decided to acknowledge my birthday.... i'm off out to treat myself to a big hearty breakfast with cup of tea in the local weatherspoon's by the massive pond full of weird bird-life, later today i'm giving myself a gift of a 90 minute relaxation session in a float tank down by canary wharf in london.... only really have 2 close friends (it's a slow process trusting people agian) and they probably won't be able to see me today, but i'm sure i'll have a belated surprise from them both.... the first thing i did when i remembered was to rush to the computer, connect to the web and put on stevie wonder's 'happy birthday', as i listen to it, tears stream down my face... all those years of my life stolen ' but..... i'm free....'.

  need input: why does my wife do this. when at the meeting she is always nodding her head in agreement

  by goingthruthemotions in

  so this is just so nauseating to me when she noddes her head in agreement and in a low voice or sound does a "mmm uh" in agrrement.

  but here is the deal, she never aswers at the meetings.

  she doesn't go out in service often.

  It might just be a regional thing. I've been in congregations in the south where JWs did the whole "Hallelujah" and "praise the Lord" bit during the public talk like you'd normally hear in a Southern Baptist church. Took me by surprise at first.

  WiFi problems? Want a faster network? Try Powerline Adapters!

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wifi is great.

  it's so easy and convenient.

  but it can be slow.. years ago when it first came out you maybe had a pc and a couple of other devices at most.

  Another option is ethernet over coax adapters. They seem to be a little more stable and reliable. Power line adapters can be problematic if there is noise on the line from certain electrical devices like motors or cheap transformers (like phone chargers).

  Scrutinizing the teaching of Jesus Christ year 1874 vs 1914

  by MacHislopp in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as the date of return of the lord jesus christ and the beginning of his invisible presence or parousia.

  what, then, about the parousia (presence) of christ?

  so a.d. 1914 marks the time of christs invisible return in spirit.

  Quote :
  11 Upon recognizing that Christ’s presence began in 1914, Jesus’ followers rightly prepared for a possible early arrival of the end.

  I tried pointing this out to my wife recently. She responded that the sentence didn't say when they recognized that Christ's presence began in 1914. Even though this sentence would probably mislead someone to think that they recognized Christ's presence began prior to 1914, it is technically not saying that the recognized this prior to 1914. You could say that they when they realized it in 1943 they started preparing...

  I don't agree with the above, but wanted to give insight into how a JW mind thinks.

  Construction Halts & other cutbacks - Here's what I think happened

  by Listener in

  to get to the point straight away i think the crane accident that occurred at warwick was a significant catalyst that has caused the org.

  to change its plans suddenly.. list of assumptions, not all of them are validated.

  - there was a serious crane accident that occurred at warwick approx.

  There is also a lawsuit that a man, presumably a JW, was bringing against the Borg for a jobsite accident late last year or earlier this year. Not sure if it was connected to the crane accident. I was searching through civil filings against the Watchtower and stumbled across it. If I can find the pdf, I'll post a link to it. I'm not sure if the man has a case, but his lawyer must think so. They may be afraid that additional lawsuits could be on the horizon.

  It's starting to filter down to the R&F. I spoke with a fully in friend recently who has some Bethel contacts. He said he was told that they are facing lawsuits and that Bethel is going through a tough period. Of course, the bethelite and my friend said that these were "attacks from Satan's world". At least the word is spreading. Maybe some will hear and wake up.

  A piratebox is a file sharing box. It broadcasts a wifi signal. It will show as an available wifi connection. After someone connects to it, any website they go to will redirect them to the homepage of the box. Similar to how Starbucks, Target, and other companies redirect you to an agreement page when connecting to their wifi. You can put files and information on the home page of the box. There is also a chat feature that can be setup.

  There are a couple of ways to set one up. If you have an old Android phone that is rooted, you can use it. Otherwise there are devices you can buy for around $50. One who tried it at a convention said that he saw several people connecting and that attendants were going around trying to figure where the signal was the strongest to try and locate the box.
