Pure worship is under attack!

Once again we will be told "Satan is attacking Gods organization". First it was Dateline, then Panorama, next the Australians, and then the Canadians and now the Germans.

Burn Tower Burn!!!!

Downloading TV shows??

by home_and_dry in

i was just wondering how to go about downloading a tv show from the internet.

it's only because the show i want to watch is a season behind the u.s. and i can't wait for u.k.tv to catch up.. i have tried kazaa which does have the shows but i can never get a download, its all just remotely queing.

and they don't have much of a choice in downloads either, so i just give up!.

freeman

Homeand-dry, I dont think you are doing anything wrong. When it says remotely queued it generally means that the other party has received your request and that the download will commence when enough resources are free (on his end). He probably has too many files downloading at once to other users. Your download will start when the download count goes below his max set number. At least that is how I think it works.

I too am looking for a particular program, The Fifth Estate a Canadian show. I am trying to get a copy of the episode dealing with the Child Molestation problem among JWs called Spiritual Shepards. Kazaa can be a pain in the ass, I tried to find that program when a few posters had it up and all I got back when I searched was a bunch of audio files called the Fifth Estate. I should just write my own program with an improved search but Im just to lazy.

Dont know who may have your files archived, but dont feel bad about not being particularly net savvy, Ive been on the net since around 1974-75 long before there was a www anything ( it was called Arpanet / Milnet back then) and its still sometimes confusing to me even now. Back then there was only a few types of people on the net: universities (high energy physics labs aka bomb researchers), some military type people, defense contractors, and a handful of early hackers. Ill give you a hint of what group I fell into. Hint, I was not in the military, and at the time I was not yet in college J .

As far as FTP goes, this is simply a file copy program, just another basic way to move files across the net from one computer to another. You could simply type ftp into a search engine and you will likely find information on how to use this program. You could also open up a dos window on your PC and type FTP and then when you get the FTP> prompt type ?. This should show you some of the more common commands available.

Hope that helps a little.

In fact I will be converting this file to both DVDs and VHS tape for the friends in my area that don't do internet just as as I have done with Panorama, Silent Witness and others. If anyone can help in this regard, please respond to this thread or email me directly at the following address:

Meeting with P/O re: doctrine

by Iron Eagle in

jw
friends

hi folks .

does anybody remember a while back i posted a topic concerning jesus mediatorship ?

i asked if anybody could show me quotes from the watchtower that state that jesus only acts as mediator towards the 144,000 .

freeman

Hi Iron Eagle,

Good job!

You certainly are holding his feet to the fire and that is good as long as you remember one thing. The thing you must remember is that most of these cheese and cracker men have traded in their intellectual honesty for the security of being in the Tower Club. Last year I forbade my younger son, now almost 14, from attending anymore meetings. I objected to the fact that he was instructed to shun two of his friends that were dis-fellowshipped and when I asked him why he had to do this, the only reason he could come up with is because the society says I have too. Not good enough! I also had problems with the blood issue since they are asking my child to put his life at risk for reasons that can not be logically or scripturally defended.

Like you, I too overwhelmed him, he didnt have a chance and was forced to agree with me on several points. It was pitiful because this was a very smart guy, quite articulate and college educated too, (a rarity in the JW world).

But then in the end, after he had been trounced on each and every point, one of the gears in his noggin turned. Something went click and his programming kicked in. He then asked if my son could still attend the meetings and he would just alert me as to when the subject of blood or shunning would be discussed at the meeting and then my son could just stay home on those particular nights.

I just shook my head.

I just hope you are not setting yourself up for a let down. If you think you can turn one of these type of people around using logic, reason, and even their own words, it just doesnt work, the programming is just too powerful.

The US case before the UN

after watching powell today, i'm more convinced than ever.

i think that those oppossed to the war will not be swayed at all, but i also think that most of those who were trully sitting on the fence will be convinced.

convinced of saddam's violation of un resolution 1441, and convinced of saddam's connection with terrorism.

freeman

Thank you Utopian Reformist for your well-expressed thoughts.

Its nice to hear contrasting points of view. I was a bit puzzled by the sentiments expressed by you until I read your statement at the end of you post:

As an ex-marine, I know too well the lessons of the middle east.

Now it all makes perfect sense to me. So what is it like to be in the Iraqi marine core?

hey all.

i am so pissed off at the elders right now that its not even funny.

my spiritual grandmother died recently.

Unfortunately dolphin your anger may get another booster shot at her memorial as you sit there and realize that this meeting is more geared toward recruitment and reinforcing doctrine then a reflection of the deceaseds life. Sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately using only a small fraction of our intelligence information, Mr. Powell has presented a very compelling case against the Butcher of Baghdad.

Unfortunately the Butcher of Baghdad has very dangerous toys and may share these toys with others who would not even think twice about using them; we dont know for a certainty, but we cant take the risk.

Unfortunately he says he has no dangerous toys anymore, and we know he is lying.

Unfortunately the Butcher of Baghdad will not destroy or turn over his weapons for destruction and so he must be forced to disarm.

Unfortunately it means we are very close to going to war.

Most unfortunate.
