  by Tuesday in

  hey folks,.

  i'm wondering if you all could help me with my next video that i want to put up in the next couple of days (though i'm hoping for tonight), i want to come up with a list of the most prominent urban legends surrounding jws and then refute them whatever they may be.. i'm thinking there's the urban legend about the question on jeopardy that said the nwt was the most accurate would be a good one.

  that one stems from an online powerpoint presentation named theological jeopardy and a book which was written comparing six different translations of the bible.

  You should not store it in the garage unless it is cool and dry all year-round. Even then, make sure the drums and accessories are wrapped and protected from dust. It sounds like a valuable drum set.

  if you search on "jehovah" in the app store on iphone, you will find some amazingly telltale apps that reveal the kind of thinking fostered within jw culture.. to quote from one called ministry school timer: "the bible highlights timer allows you to not only time the bible highlights but also to time each individual comment, which also counts them and averages them.

  each comment time will appear in a list and those over 30 seconds long will appear in red.

  " so now brother school overseer can ream the brothers with precision when they go overtime on their comments.. another one called my time offers: ".

  If you search on "Jehovah" in the app store on iPhone, you will find some amazingly telltale apps that reveal the kind of thinking fostered within JW culture.

  To quote from one called Ministry School Timer: "The Bible Highlights timer allows you to not only time the bible Highlights but also to time each individual comment, which also counts them and averages them. Each Comment time will appear in a list and those over 30 seconds long will appear in red." So now Brother School Overseer can ream the brothers with precision when they go overtime on their comments.

  Another one called My Time offers: ". . . a program that is useful for Jehovah's Witnesses to keep up with our calls, return visits, literature placements and field service time so that you can accurately keep up with your field service activity report for the month." (Emphasis added.) That's got to be the last thing the Society wants. Imagine if time was accurately reported, without rounding up estimating or simply lying, how the numbers would plummet.

  "Field Service Assistant" features a stop watch so that you can be accurate to the second! Oh wait, what if you come out with 14:59 minutes for the month? You're screwed.

  Gotta love the monster they've created!

  Wobble: "The thing I found amusing was that one Guy who wrote one or more of the songs has now DA'd. his story is on Freeminds,I think, and on a thread here."

  I'm that guy. I didn't DA. I was disfellowshipped for apostasy after 2 years of inactivity, prior to which I withdrew from my congregation responsibilities, which included writing music for the Society. IMHO: I have answered many of your questions in the article and posts referred to above. In addition, I have made comments on other songbook-related threads. As far as the selection/deletion process for the new songbook is concerned, I was involved until I bowed out. After that, I can't say, but David Splane was the GB member who was most involved in supervision.
