Our Kingdom Ministry has a Bar Code?!!

by VM44 in

i just noticed that the august 2012 "our kingdom ministry" has at the bottom of the last page a two dimensional bar code!.

when did that start?.

is the watchtower putting bar codes on its other publications as well?.

JW Mission = Find all checker floors in WT publications

by bytheirworks in

your mission... should you choose to accept it, will be to find all checker floors in the watchtower publications, especially those involving worship.. .

if you can upload them here, great.

i don't know to upload a pic from my computer on this site.

1) My Book of Bible Stories (Story 63) Remember that picture of Solomon's soldier about to cut the baby in 2?

2) My Book of Bible Stories (Story 98)

3) Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained (Page 117) Daniel praying on Checker Floor with Angel

4) Insight Volume 2 (Inside Cover)

5) You Can Live Forever (Page 149)

6) Big Reference Bible (Page 1594 - top picture & bottom picture)

These are SIX pictures, with some showing Solomon's temple. And long before the Masons came into Solomon's temple has been pictured with a checkered floor. It can be considered traditional.

Still, SIX pictures out of THOUSANDS produced by the WTS are nothing.

Besides ...

Solomon's temple had a checkered floor

1 Kings 6:15 seems to indicate that Solomons temple had a checkered floor. This is a 'worldly' picture of it: http://anthrowiki.at/Datei:Sheba_demin.jpg

According to various sources, the Freemasons use the checkered floor because it “is a representation of the ground floor of King Solomon’s Temple”. So, if the WTS shows the temple with a checkered floor, they do that based on the Bible, and they are NOT using a masonic symbol.

Btw, I have a quite impressive collection of Watchtower pictures on my disk, and I could only find a single one showing a checkered floor - and that one picture shows Solomon's temple.

My kitchen has checkered floors. It must be the free masons.

We should not forget that the WTS produces THOUSANDS of pictures. PER YEAR. So, no wonder that SOME of these show checkered floors.

Checker Floors have long been associated with Freemasonary & Spiritism

Is there any proof of this claim?

Forum updates, issues and performance

by Simon in

first of all, thank you all for your patience while i made a few tweaks to the site.. i ended up actually going down a bit of a rabbit hole of updating one thing which required another thing be updated first and so on ... before i knew it i'd updated the framework platform and most of the sub-components used and then got carried away trying to do some optimizations as well.

all worthwhile though and a little overdue.. anyway, i broke a few thing along the way but i also fixed a few things too ... erm, unfortunately they didn't always quite match up so there are still a few things outstanding that i need to fix and am working on.. but, i'm hoping that dispite the short-term pain the site should now load and run just a little bit faster for you.

well, that's the intention - i'd be interested to hear how you find it.

Thanks, though the site has always worked perfectly for me, and it seems to do that now. I'm using Chrome of course ;)

Interesting experience while protesting at district conventions

by theron ware in

for three weekends this summer, a friend and i protested outside district assemblies being held in the tucson convention center.

our approach was very low key and completely non-confrontational: we just held our posters and smiled.

this was our experience at the first two assemblies (for the third assembly, see the next paragraph).

Years ago there was a similar situation in Germany:

new book printed in Germany, not wallkill-why?

by factfinder in

jw
friends

i just recieved a copy of the new book "imitate their faith" and notice it was printed in the german branch, not at wallkill.. why would they ship books here (the us) from germany instead of printing them in wallkill?.

the new tracts were printed in canada.. is something going on at the wallkill printery that would would hinder book production there?.

Europe always was short on good raw materials

Hey, we have good paper, but Germans are stingy, and so are JW's - you can imagine that German JWs purchase the lousiest and cheapest paper that they can get around here. Likely it's from China.
