  Billy's Comments You Won't Hear at the 01-19-2014 WT Study (7 Shepherds, 8 Dukes)

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  16-20. we shall also have to raise up against him seven shepherds, yes, eight dukes of mankind.mic.

  what is the most important thing that you can do now to prepare for any future attack on gods people?.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. .

  I trust Billy.

  But this made me a bit suspiscious, the link when you click on it instead of just straight to jw.org goes here FIRST then redirects:

  http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&key=f38428291ed8e213546f1c4b510d2954&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jehovahs-witness.net%2Fwatchtower%2Fbible%2F270569%2F1%2FBillys-Comments-You-Wont-Hear-at-the-01-19-2014-WT-Study-7-Shepherds-8-Dukes&v=1&libId=e4cf5be6-1c95-4028-ab8c-2161f621e571&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jw.org%2Fen%2Fpublications%2Fmagazines%2Fw20131115%2Fseven-shepherds-eight-dukes%2F&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jehovahs-witness.net%2Factive&title=Billy's%20Comments%20You%20Won't%20Hear%20at%20the%2001-19-2014%20WT%20Study%20(7%20Shepherds%2C%208%20Dukes)%20(1)&txt=WT%2011%2F15%2F2013%20pp.%2016-20&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_139010163681310

  Viglink is a referral company so I'm guessing this is something that Simon's put in here. Simon, can you please comment on this because my alarm bells went off a bit thanks.

  Mac Book Pro with Retina or Dell XPS 15? (both with new Haswell processors)

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been in need of a new laptop for a long time.

  no, i mean it - a really long time.

  the old dell that we have has a floppy lid and is woefully underpowered although it does build up my upper body strength every time i pick it up.. the last 6 months has been a bad time to buy something new though with the haswell processors on the horizon promising better battery life and also screen technology seems to have been leaping ahead recently to a new hi-dpi standard.. so apple finally released their mac book pro and at the same time dell has released an xps 15 ultrabook which looks like a pretty good alternative and probably better 'value'.. pro's and con's?

  I've switched to Windows 8, I do miss Aero, but the improved speed and explorer enhancements are REALLY useful. But Windows 8 would be unusable for me unless I used Classic Shell (free) or Start8 ($5). It's rare that I go to the Metro start screen.

  glad to be a new member and find others with similarities of background.

  some background info on me: my dad became jw when i was young, so i spent maybe a third of my life in the religion.

  although i respect everyone's beliefs, i personally knew many genuinely selfless people in my congregation, but the way i was raised, now that i am an adult i am realizing was very sheltered and unrealistic.

  "12. on the issue of flip-flops and the failure of witness message of doom, it maybe due to lack of understanding of the scripture at that time.

  every day, new understanding is perceived.

  remember 2 peter 3:16 ".

  Have you used dropbox? Have you had any problems?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is a certain user to whom i suggested using dropbox, and the user said he had problems with it, that his computer ended up full of game advertisements.. please, to those who have used dropbox before, can you give your honest evaluation of dropbox?.

  i am trying to convince this user that i did not suggest to him something that was bad, but actually good... that it helps to share huge files, no matter what their size.. .

  please tell this user... i don't want to lose this user's trust.. .

  Has nothing to do with it. I'm in IT and use dropbox alot. Installing the program itself will NOT install malware. However, clicking a link from someone you don't know is never a good idea. Dropbox could be used by a malicious user to host malicious software. Just be careful.

  BIG conversation with the missus MKII. Ended well. Wish I could argue better!

  by Captain Blithering in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, had a loooooooong conversation with the missus again after being accused of being overly critical of the borg.. .

  i stated that i thought the borg was marvellous, full of really good people, (in our experience, it has been so far), but that i had difficulty with the dogmatic stance we had on certain issues that we couldn't possibly be sure about, and that if i were to vocalise any of these issues and unrepentantly not change my thinking, then i could be df'd for that, which i view as an unloving bullying tactic.

  organ transplants, vaccinations, (jah will resurrect, don't worry), new understandings of the fads and generations etc... particularly the thought that only jw's will be saved.

  Seinfeld: Who ARE these people??!?!?!

  Seriously, who are these people who say that NON-JWs will survive armageddon? That is NOT a borg teaching never has been. Most uber dubs I know sit around and mentally circle jerk themselves getting off on who IN the cancer won't survive.

  i can't believe hubby and sis in law actually went out in service today.

  when he left this morrning i reminded him to inform those who didn't slam their doors on them that if they join your cult that this will be the last christmas, holiday and birthday they will be allowed to celebrate.

  i thought it very inapproiate going out today to knock on doors trying to get converts..
