  I guess the old saying goes, "If you can't beat (the Internet), join it." Remembering the articles on the dangers of the Internet just a few years ago, with a picture of a computer cord that looked like a serpent.

  Discovery of a Commoner's Burial ground at Ancient Amarna

  by fulltimestudent in

  2. current

  a burial ground for the builders who worked on the construction of ancient armana, also known as akhetaten, the new city founded by akhenaten ( who may have been the world's first historically demonstrated monotheist) has been found.

  its significant (imo) because it just may add to our knowledge of akhenaten, who deserves more recognition for his attempt to change the religious culture of ancient egypt, and even in failure, may still have provided the spark that led to modern christianity.. .

  this report is from the july 17, 2014 issue of popular archeology:.

  Silence after stating my confusion about "144,000"

  by tidalblitz in

  2. beliefs

  the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.

  the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?

  " this friend does not know how to answer this question.

  JW.org shows that the society doesn't really want to talk to people who aren't witnesses

  by Skinnedsheep in

  2. friends

  i find it fascinating to see how quickly the society has about faced on the use of the internet.

  interestingly they still have not adopted two way communication channels such as facebook, twitter, instagram.

  etc.. if you are lurking....why do you think that is?

  Say what? There's alot of communication in the Witness world.

  Follower writes a letter to the Borg, Borg writes back. Borg doesn't answer follower, but gives a response. And, they even cc: Local Congregation so the elders know the follower's question and the Society's answer! Then, the elders stalk the follower. Either the follower complies with WTS doctrince, or is ousted. Then, the WTS does some more communication with the local congregation, with a code of "no longer a Witness." Then, all communication stops.

  FROM FEET TO FINGERS: THE WATCHTOWER EVOLVES INTO JW.ORG

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.

  among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.

  furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.

  so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

  he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

  the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

  What did the Pixar guy say about the deaf video? I mean, perhaps this is an attempt to make the JWs feel proud of themselves, after that deaf video jerk off.

  Would you do this to your kids? Is this cold or am I crazy?

  my mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.

  she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.

  she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

  His own grandaughter, and he won't provide a tent for her party? What an a-hole! Rent from the store. It has insurance in case the tent malfunctions.

  He tries to extract as much money as he can from those around him. He's an extractor, when it comes to financial transactions. I bet he'd be a moocher if the tables were turned and you were offering something for free. It's a sign of someone who is very self-centered.
