Positive facebook posts and who 'likes' them.

i've been conducting a little experiment.

if i post funny things on my facebook timeline, or interesting things, all my jw friends comment, like, share etc.. .

without fail though, (so far) , if i post something humanitarian, something charitable, some local interest good news story about the community coming together as one, it's very rare for any of my witness friends to 'like', comment, or share.

tresdecu

post this and see what they say ;-)

Just watched...SHOULD be thought prevoking to most people:

ROKU INVASION!!!

by DATA-DOG in

jw
friends

my wife bought a roku device!!

lol!!!!

hahahahahahah!!!!.

tresdecu

lol...yess. My sis-in-law asked me about roku players the other day. She said they have 'the channel', the sacred JW.BORG channel. puke. Also, I am amazed how many dumb dubs spend 300-500 on ipads and ipad minis to use the societies apps when a 179.00 android tablet would do just fine. They here ROKU and IPAD from the platform and it's suddenly endorsed by Jah himself. What a sad joke.

Hi I hope i am welcome

hi guys and gals,.

i am a hypocryte.

brought up in the "truth" but know its not.

tresdecu

Hi cantleave (...didleave) ;-)

I am intrigued...dont have time to sift through hundreds of posts and figure it out myself, but could you tell me what was the tipping point for your wife, cause as you mentioned in your 1st post "... she is completely devout as are her family."

a brief explanation or link to a key post would be fine. I am in a very similar situation to where you were 5 years ago. Thanks

Tv.jw.org - Average Jdub reaction? I'm getting NOTHING but Silence!

by 4thgen in

jw
friends

hello all, as you know, when jw tv was announced, our board went wild.

many comments, much speculation and alot of negative feedback on the quality, etc.

well, what has me concerned is that i have not heard a peep from any of my connections left in kingdom-land.

This is a repost of mine from a similar thread:

Here is a post from a 30ish sister (I copied it from my facebook news feed)....I think this is a good indication to how effective it will be with Dubs:

"So, My Aunt said that she was up super late the other night watching the new JW TV site. She said she had tears running down her face, she was so happy to see all the videos. If you've never seen this before, please go check it out, you won't be dissapointed. The GB is really taking care of us..."

Puke

Maybe a 1/4 -1/3 of active dubs will think it's cheesy, but the rest are lapping this stuff up. The changes are being seen as positive.

Walking Dead, evidently a hit show

by nonjwspouse in

not my cup o tea for sure, but i found out my nephew is a regular zombie on the show.. anyone here like the show?

i'm kinda afraid to even watch it ...my imagination is a bit to active.. .

tresdecu

Never thought I'd be into a Zombie show...I waited a couple of years before giving it a try. It's a great show. Suspense, & wonderful character development / writing.

How to tell how effective JW.TV will be

by bohm in

jw
friends

here is a simple and obvious way to tell how effective jw.tv is going to be:.

in the past, how effective has religious tv been for you?

has watching religious tv made by moonies, evangelists, mormons or scientologists made you seriously reflect on spirituality?

tresdecu

Here is a post from a 30ish sister (I copied it from my facebook news feed)....I think this is a good indication to how effective it will be with Dubs:

Please counter this with any "disgust" you may have heard, I need to read it after seeing this.

Accounts of Jesus From Hostile Ancient Sources

by Perry in

from ancient accounts hostile to christinity, we can learn the following:.

jesus was born and lived in palestine.

he was born, supposedly, to a virgin and had an earthly father who was a carpenter.

@ Yaddayadda2 - I love this:

"Have you ever noticed how miracles only happened in the very ancient past and will only happen again in the future?

They never happen right now. Never.

Funny that."
