  Have you seen "Knock! Knock!"?

  i thought it was a genuinely old silent movie.

  it was prepared for the delegates of the international conventions.

  a young man in a sound car goes to different homes in the neighborhood, and comes upon a bereaved husband with two young daughters.

  There is a "smoking gun" midway through that reveals itself at the film's end.

  It made me want to believe again . . .

  wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.

  we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".

  yeah, right ... sparlock?.

  So now it's OK to wear T-shirts with logos?

  Those boys are Mormons.

  The excitement here over the campaign is at fever pitch. Photos everywhere on FB of joyous worldwide (all nations have internet?!?!?!?) activity.

  We used to study for service: d-t-d; backcalls/return visits; home Bible studies.

  Today's excitement is based on nothing palpable (even though what we taught was off-center).

  Greetings, John:

  Are your conclusions based on your reading of:

  1) Michael Tsarion's The Irish Origins of Civilization, Volumes One and Two

  2) John Lamb Lash's Not In His Image

  Thank you.

  It seems as though less JW's are viewing online media about the ORG?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this video on youtube for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jrqqvygd0k&list=uugsxqg6qln5yk0zij2dutow&feature=player_detailpage has over 100k views but other newer channels like jwstruggle and others have just a few hundred or just little over a 1000. i have noticed a lot of videos from the early days of the internet, earlier part of this decade have a lot more views than those of today.

  is it because they have just been around so long or do you think less people are searching, then maybe 10 years ago or so?.

  You're all right, Crazyguy.

  Your heart's in the right place, and we appreciate your post. Sorry for what you've lost out on, as well as for your dad's sad end. I quit college to pioneer.

  As a professional editor and proofreader, I find it more to the poster's benefit to send corrections -- if really necessary -- via pm. In fact, I have to pm Terry about something he wrote.

  Best.

  Should The Governing Body Take A Good Look At Their Cookies And See Where People Are Going Before They Dine At The Y(JW.Org)?

  by frankiespeakin in

  when people visit their site they leave a cookie foot print.

  the governing body as dutiful ceos need to examine this bit of information closely so as to see where these visitors have been before comming to their site.

  they need to find out what apostate sites they are visiting.

  I stopped using the public library pc, when mine was down, after some loud and chatty lady looking over my shoulder began jabbering away about what I was reading here.

  No manners.

  Song #29: "Walking in Integrity" plagiarizes a song that was inspired by demons!

  [earlier today i posted this onanother thread about kingdom melodies.

  i decided to repost in its own thread because i am sure most of us don't know the facts about this song and would be very suprised.

  enjoy!].

  I will have to study your detailed analysis, Oubliette. You have been very thorough in making your point. The Uninvited is quite a spellbinding flick; I enjoyed it very much and was surprised by the denouement.

  One song I especially enjoyed playing, what with its vigor and infectious lilt, sounds so much like "Wake the Town and Tell the People." I'll have to rummage around a bit and see if I can find it (brown song book).

  THANKS!

  Thanks, factfinder, for the good thought; however, my lowly task was putting the books together, not composing the melodies.

  Some of those songs are truly beautiful. I rearranged many into classical form for performances I gave over the years.

  Blondie:

  I enjoyed reading your experience about playing the piano at the KH and how much the friends appreciated it. Recorded music simply doesn't cut it:

  I never understood why taped music was deemed better rather than a live accompanist that could adjust the music to the abilities of the singers. One overly righteous family had a daughter getting married and tried over and over to walk down the aisle to the tapes...could not adjust it so they asked me to play the piano that was left unused in the corner of the KH. I played my arrangements of the KH songs before and after the event and many people thanked me.

  It was so different back then, as attested by the '85 WT quotation you put up. We rocked at the KH and at assemblies where I played; sometimes I was questioned (then counseled) on my exuberant playing: 'Are you playing just the notes on the page?' 'Ah, yes, Brother By-the-Rules, just the notes on the page!'

  Well, the brothers and sisters liked it, as they enjoyed your playing, too.

  Thanks for sharing!
