Giving "Jehovahs spirit" credit for mundane, everyday things!

by BU2B in

i am hearing this more and more and it is like nails on a chalkboard.

i hear it from the wt, from elders, from my parents and from jws in general.

this had to be jehovahs spirit!

This drives me crazy! When something good happens, it's Jehovah's blessing them. When something bad happens, Satan is testing them and the world is so bad.

Goodbye JW net

forgive me for indulging in a goodbye but it would feel wrong not to,.

i hope the discussions and atmosphere here do not change for it is a bubbling brew of doubt, bravery and sincere hunger for answers.

these are healthy ingrediants for humans and especially for a jehovah's witness.. this forum offers not just the ability to ask without consequence, but it also offers the means to be real.

Dagney

Masel Tov!! I'm so happy for you! What a great accomplishment! Best of everything to you.

by nicolaou in

and i mean celebrated!

it was a cracking barbecue party for around 40 good friends and neighbours as well as my 'never jw' cousins and one of my brothers and his family.. .

drank a bit too much, embarrassed my kids with some 'dad dancing' and laughed until 2 in the morning.

Happy Happy Birthday Nic!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Clink to many more! :)

I wonder if it will be a "high-end" for pay training facility. I'm really curious what this will be used for.

ADCMS, thank you for the correction of the real estate sale figure. Is there a place I can find that? I send this thread and the other recent threads to a JW today. I would love to be able to show them the $1.2 billion figure.

Local Kingdom Hall Speakers To Be Replaced By Governing Body Video Feeds.

by donuthole in

so we've seen as the current gb is getting more facetime in an effort to reach the hearts and minds of the rank and file.

this took a leap with video feeds at an open annual meeting.

the international conventions are taking this a step farther.. do you think that local speakers at kingdom halls could ever be replaced by headquarter approved video feeds?.

Dagney

I don't think local elders will be replaced per se. But it makes PERFECT sense to broadcast VIP Bethel speakers so peeps can feel all giggly with the privilege.

Also standardizing and broadcasting certains talks makes sense also so everybody is getting the SAME exact message. I believe it will be really useful as the elder pool continues to dry up.

From a corporate/business standpoint, it makes perfect sense to utilize this resource.

Well they have to reinvest the $300-500million they received from the Brooklyn properties sales SOMEWHERE!

What's missing from this list of technologies used by JWs

this topic has been discussed before but it is interesting to look at it in the light of the new book god's kingdom rules.. 1903 news paper sermons.

1914 photo drama of creation.

1922 radio.

Dagney

They tried broadcasting some PA's in the 90's in some select markets. They were very "Mormon-esque" looking. They decided at the time they did not want to invest the $$$$ it would take to launch and keep up a full scale marketing campaign.

I do remember the full page ad in the Wall Street Journal.
