To Blue Dot or Not to Blue Dot. That is the question ....
by Oubliette inso i've been noticing recently that some khs in the area where i live (socal) are putting up the jw.org little blue dot, but others are not.
i would think this would be a mandatory directive from hq.

Where the heck does one get a WT approved MEPS font to fabricate the sign according to spec's?
Seems a bit extreme they'd expect local congregations to make their own signs. Doesn't it?
Why not just make signs at WT facilities and from there send to the congregations on a donation basis like literature?
Is it because they don't own rights to trademark JW-dot-Org? The reason they lost this was due to their description of the web site's stated purpose for media streaming downloading, it conflicts with JWplayer's brand and could lead to confusion.
Read more about it on JWleaks' excellent page on this topic:

I too have been to New Mexico and through out all the South West, as a matter of fact. I've hiked in the desert. Not once did I see remains of dead indians, buckaroos, cows. Where's all the Southwest cattle drive evidence?
I saw petrified wood. But no bones or remains of any kind. I'm sure things die in the desert, I just didn't see any of that. It's a big ol' desert, the Southwest.
But like I said, there are remains of Semitic people living in Goshen for over a couple hundred years at least. The evidence is there, in the dirt.

To this day there are hundreds of thousands of nomadic people trekking all over the Sinai wilderness, the Sahara desert and the Arabian desert. They've been doing this for countless generations. Can you excavate some existing camel poop, or maybe a tent pin, how about rug fibers?
Like Hold Me-Thrill Me says these people didn't leave permanent structures behind in desert areas. Yet there is evidence of Semites living in plush Goshen:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Rohl)
The New Chronology places King Solomon at the end of the wealthy Late Bronze Age, rather than in the relatively impoverished Early Iron Age. Rohl and other New Chronology researchers contend that this fits better with the Old Testament description of Solomon's wealth.[5]
Furthermore, Rohl shifts the Israelite Sojourn, Exodus and Conquest from the end of the Late Bronze Age to the latter part of the Middle Bronze Age (from the Egyptian 19th Dynasty to the 13th Dynasty and Hyksos period). Rohl claims that this solves many of the problems associated with the historicity issue of the biblical narratives. He makes use of the archaeological reports from Tell ed-Daba (ancient Avaris), in the Egyptian eastern delta, which show that a large Semitic-speaking population lived there during the 13th Dynasty. These people were culturally similar to the population of Middle-Bronze-Age (MB IIA) Canaan. Rohl identifies these Semites as the people upon whom the biblical tradition of the Israelite Sojourn in Egypt was subsequently based. -

Geoffrey Jackson compares waiting for Armageddon to waiting for Brazil to score a goal against Argentina!

What a lame illustration. Clearly designed to appeal to the Brazilian crowd, who are lapping it up indeed.
Well if it's Brazil 1 and Argentina 1 and the clock is running out. Then...
Don't worry, they'll go into overtime. (So maybe that's what's happening with the overlapping generations, it's overtime or what Geoffrey?)
But tell this illustration to the thousands of JW kids who are counseled NOT to take part in school sports. And what about all the admonition that rooting for favorite sports teams is a form of idolatry?
Yeah, Geoff, I find your illustration disgusting in so many levels, dude!

Anthony Morris III life story
by campaign of hate inam3rd life story is in may 15th 2015 study wt.. after reading, he sounds very mental unstable.
i know you guys will be saying "yeah, obviously he is"...but we don't have any concrete evidence saying he has a mental condition.. has anyone ever dug a little deeper, perhaps try to find some people who would have known him from the army?
i mean, he probably doesn't know that many people, he was only serving for a year for christs sake.

My last GB was John Barr. What a prick...he ran off the stage and hid back in admin, not wanting to talk to any jws.
The Administration area was like a big celebrity's dressing room backstage.
That's where the connected ones hung out. You needed special access and were given a card saying administration. For security reasons the cards weren't any longer put behind the convention badge so only the word Administration showed and most bigwigs just kept it in a pocket.
I usually got to go in there for a morning or afternoon shift with the rooming dept. We'd call up Hotels and make sure things were going smoothly.
There were a lot of perks, coffee, goodies, Bethelites from all over would show up there and you could spend most of the session chatting.
The hierarchy definitely gets much preferential treatment in the Organization, just like any other worldly corporation.

Fun at The WT This Morning
by OneFingerSalute inso ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.
14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".
after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

The conjunction through "or" in this usage serves to better define "shunned" in that another word "disfellowshipped" equally exemplifies it. -
