Ann beat me to it. I remember ice cream during the break also. No morning meetings because we went in service of course! like Gregor said, those afternoon meetings were long and difficult to keep awake during.

Mormon Church Founder had 33 wives
by designs inwe know russell, rutherford franz and knorr wer kooky but joseph smith takes the cake.. the salt lake tribune of all newspapers has run an article on the lds founder's 33 wives, most of whom were teenagers.. http://www.sltrib.com/news/173364-155/plural-smith-joseph-marriage-lds-says.
would you stay an lds after knowing this, how would you rationalize staying with this knowledge.. .

I think people that need religion can justify anything about their religion. They need to be "special," have "inside knowledge." It doesn't matter to them how outlandish certain behavior is or how crazy the dogma. They have faith. The 33 wives were part of a grand scheme they have the privilege to be a part of. Works for them.

Yes. Absolutely. Of course Jah was waiting for the perfect moment to wage the internet war...after they have lost about 2-3 million people already.
I can see the happy-dappy-ness of a loyal looking around iTunes and voila! Jah must have made electricity, Steve Jobs, computers, internet just for WBTS!
They will never win this battle. The apostate army is too diverse and established.

Edited to add: The podcasts were for the WT study and issues of the WT and Awake, and in numerous languages.

by 4thgen inhello all, as you know, when jw tv was announced, our board went wild.

Interesting.
I the weekend with a friend who just left in the last few weeks and they were very embarrassed by it. They said they couldn't finish watching any of the videos and the guy that was on the streaming was ridiculous. The observation was "who would take the time to watch that? You see it once and you are done."
We visited a wonderful elderly couple, (he's an elder), last weekend and although they were very interested in their new iPads, (puzzles and puppy videos), not one word was said about the tv.jw.org. The husband was working a lot on the computer as secretary, and I could see he was reading official letters...but not one word about the BIG NEW program.
Wouldn't it be funny if this whole thing fizzled.
