  JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

  i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

  in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

  An overhaul of the book of Revelation would be a big undertaking, not done since FF's demise, right?

  Then too all this "we can't know" when it comes to interpreting prophecy argues against such a project. Maybe they'll find some other way to use the new artwork???

  Anyway, the meeting is this coming weekend. Big drum roll ...

  Another way you are being spied upon

  from jeremy hsu, technology writer for new scientist magazine.. smart tvs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second.

  smart tvs from samsung and lg take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console.

  the USSS was unable to crack the search history and communications of the kid who shot Donald Trump.

  What kind of security did the intended assassin use?

  Recently I was talking to someone and I mentioned a product that I might purchase. An hour later, I received an ad for that product. I knew that my phone listened to conversations that were had on the phone, but this was an in-person conversation. I consider that to be an invasion of privacy.
  

  So was the bug in your phone or the person you were talking to even if the conversation was not over the phone (phone still on)? Or a bug in your home on some device?

  Smart TVs from Samsung and LG take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console. Read the whole article below. It's all money driven. You would think the GDPR enforcers would go after this one, or the ACLU.

  Thx FTM for this share. I've long thought that the org's policy of cutting out the prayers in videos was not only strange but unbiblical, given passages like 1 Kings 3:6-9 and 8:22-61, all of John 17, Acts 2:24-26, and many others.

  How was this one obtained?

  Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  say it ain’t so!

  .

  in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

  Can anyone identify the last time WT affirmed the literal 144,000 teaching in print or in broadcast?

  Now that these relatively recent changes on dress and grooming, reporting FS time, judicial matters, etc. have been in place for months, do you think they'll have some new ones to announce at their big meeting?

  " right guys--ive done my part--its all over to you now.

  advances in science and medicine would grind to a halt, creationism would be mandated in schools, post-secondary education would be nonexistent, all foreign entertainment would be banned, any form of alternative sexual expression would be forbidden even between straight married couples, disfellowshipped people would be imprisoned or deported, and “apostates” would be sentenced to death without possibility of appeal or reprieve.

  Isn’t that what all good JWs expect the new order to be? Except DFed ones will be executed too

  SBF:

  So R&F Witnesses are writing fiction and making a buck from their spiritual brothers doing so? The GB is not stepping in to stop it like they did with Theocratic Attorneys and Doctors? Maybe these “independent” Witness authors have promised the org a tithe on their royalties?

  2. child-abuse

  the new class action lawsuit against the watchtower for having covered up child sexual abuse will begin in court on may 13-14-15, 2024 in the province of ontario, canada.

  it is not the same as in the province of quebec because the laws aren't the same.

  i don’t have more details.

  Thanks for the update, Earnest, even if it wasn't what people wanted to hear.
