Pixel, that is the point I never understood. They calculate the date by the moon as seen in jerusalem (?), that is the reason they are off a day most of the time. But if you are going to be that picky then you should do it when the sun sets in jerusalem, not in your time zone.

Is God's Name Yahweh or Jehovah?
by Soldier77 inhttp://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/is-gods-name-yahweh-or-jehovah.
subject title refers to the link that i found in another thread, somewhat buried in text, but i thought it deserved to be highlighted.
take the time to read it if you can and just sit and think about it for a second, think about all of the hate and disgust jw's have for the cc and just let that truth settle in.. amazing really.

Worship at the meetings(TM)....REALLY??
by punkofnice inthere were times when i was a jw that i asked myself :.
'what constitustes actual worship at the meetings?'.
it got to a point where the only worship i could see was a sycophantic arse licking of the governing body.. i found nothing at the meetings(tm) were actually anything like worshipping god.. .

Considering that JWs think having a poster of a sports star hanging in your room is idol worship,they don't know the definition of worship.

did you see this response, copied directly from the page
Dear user, Since someone did not believe a represantative of our society did use Wikipedia,we need to make this clear:we did use a representative but he remained anonymous for data protection and other reasons.No legal threats were made and we do not agree with your encyclopedia's 'neutral' stand.To have an encyclopedia,it needs to be well researched.One flaw with this site (one that is emphasized by many people around the world) is that anyone can edit it.We do not wish to contribute to the site,we simply made a prescence.We did not remove the information for the purpose of making our views about certain information known.We did it as a test to see how Wikipedia responds to such action.Your policies regarding editing from a member/group of members of the religious group discussed have been taken into consideration.We have thourougly researched and discovered some others have experienced the same problem.One author was not allowed to edit something about his book as it apparently violated copyrights.We do not wish to discuss the matter further because we have made other plans to protect Jehovah's Witnesses and the public from biased information.We thank you for contacting us through this page but if you want further information,write to us at 25 Columbia Heights BROOKLYN NY 11201-2483 UNITED STATES Phone number: +1 718-560-5000 Official website: www.jw.org

Not a bad video at all. Not an orgional idea, nto that I care. It is the same as these guys have been doing for a while, a good idea if you are going to imitate someone.

Thanks, Blondie.
If i was still going I would definitly start a prayer with "Our Heavenly Grandfather", I think that would get noticed.
Maybe a new rule : Only Genuine Anointed TM Are allowed to pray saying “Our Father”
