  I am starting a new video series: Ex-Gilead Missionary

  i have been debating on how best to get the word out about jws and the wts... i have thought about blogs... but i just can't get myself to create the blog... and my youtube videos that i colaborated on with v have been successful on youtube... i have received many comments, and some inquiries from active jws based on the video.

  .

  i have created an introductory video that will give some background and you can see my style... i am also looking for constructive feedback... at the moment i am using windows movie maker, so the graphics are pretty cruddy, i apologize... if you know of a cheap or free movie editor that would be great.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtdmkgfxml4.

  Good job Lance. One small production tip, I'd recommend instead of having the scriptures or quotations overlaying the video, you cut away to them. White text on a black background works pretty well.
  
  Keep it up!

  Doctrinal ramifications of large increase in 2008 memorial partakers?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  2. beliefs

  the nearly 10% increase in partakers at the memorial in the 2008 annual service report is a huge increase.

  there were increases in the previous years too.. this massive increase is no doubt attributeable to the 'new light' this year that the calling of the 'heavenly class' was not closed in 1935, as previously taught.

  the new understanding this year is that the calling of the 'anointed' class is 'evidently' still open.

  I'm convinced they'll need to overhaul the "144k is literal" doctrine.

  i dont do so well on the technical stuff these days... i am computer literate...but not music player literate.... i have a sandisk music player... i figured out how to convert some of my cd's on the computer (with windows media player) and then upload them to the player.... all good right?

  no.. i have a 4gb player and its filling fast and i havent uploaded that many albums yet... .

  question...which takes up less room....mp3 or wma.... and how do i get the songs converted to mp3 if those are smaller files... whats the difference?.

  mp3 is more common and I agree with LeavingWT; encode at 160.
  
  Why not use iTunes to rip your CDs?

  mine is saturday at a nice country club... my boyfriend is taking me, though it's not his cup of tea.. he's a really great guy.. our company christmas party used to be at the omni parker house in boston...very formal.

  http://www.omnihotels.com/findahotel/bostonparkerhouse.aspx now it's at the country club...nice, but not quite the same ambiance.

  tonight i have an association holiday party... (csi...construction specification institute) it's being held at the ica (institute of contemporary art) in boston.

  More and more people are either out of work or working reduced hours. What do JWs do when things like that happen? They 'put the kingdom first' and pioneer.

  @ ozziepost - actually, before Rutherford brought in the 1935 revised teaching of the 'great crowd', all Jehovah's Witnesses were going to heaven. The 'great crowd' were merely a secondary heavenly class.
  
  In the last 18 months we've seen the WTS revert back to pre-1930s teachings on the 'generation' and they've undone Rutherford's 1935 sealing of the 144,000.
  
  I don't think it's a great leap for them to once again position the 'great crowd' in heaven. That is, after all, where they are...
