this weekend we visited the convention.
my findings:.
- no jw.org marketing here at this moment.
Does this presage the religion contracting to concentrate only on English speaking peoples - phizzy
I believe I-L-TTATT crunched some numbers and there are now more hispanic speaking Jehovah's Witnesses than English-speaking. It seems to me the WTS would concentrate on English and Spanish translations and give lip service to the rest. Especially Europe, where growth is stalled anyways.
most people feel that it is unethical to post private messages.. how ever there does not seem to be a posting rule against it.. some people unfamiliar with posting on boards may not realize that it is not done to post private messages .
( even though it would seem self evident with the word private in it.).
so what do you think about making it an official posting rule?.
Stormcrow, it is quite normal to respond to PM. The specific issue of this thread is about publically posting the comments from a PM, and you did not do that.
as a lot of you know, i am making a catalog of all the articles and quotes that the wt used to make the creation book.
i want to see all the quotes for myself, if possible.. i went to my university today, and i got some more books.. checkmate, wt!
i can now check every single quote, almost without regard to how obscure or rare the book is!.
Here's one source for scholarly journals, that you may access through a student's library account.

Good job!
today i feel the need to write.
it been 3 years out of the borg and my life has been wonderful since then.
updates?
I think most people go through this about what might have been, at class reunions for instance. I am sure if you took a closer look their lives would not look as rosy.
i had to spend the evening with a bunch of dubs.
they went to the ic and are just enraptured.
i have heard the term "emotional" about 100 friggin times.
Hey, my background includes evangelical revivals. Trust me; the more emotional the event, the faster the effects wear off. The sufferer must decide if the experience was real, or a temporary blip. They may wonder at their own spirituality. I mean if it were from God, surely the effects would be more long lasting.

Don't worry. The effects wear off after a couple days.
with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.
among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.
furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.
Pioneer - by - Facebook. That's my prediction.
if a person says that they are not willing to meet with the elders or does not meet with them, will that get them df'ed?
there is a rumor about a person who has left the truth (went inactive) about being imoral.
they do not have the 2 person witness so they can't take actions because of this.
I know a young man who was DF'd for not showing for a Judicial Hearing convened in his honor. I think they had "two witnesses" without him, though.
is it a feeling of---oh no!!?.
are you happy to see them?.
do you have a feeling of consternation?.
There are some old-timers that I have affection for. When I run in to them about town, I engage them in their natural state, which is fun.
