  there may be a little grumbling, but JW pubs know the goal is appearance not actual witnessing so they will adapt and the GB will come up with some lame excuse for any changes

  The John Cedars Channel on YouTube taken down after posting a critique of leaked videos for Regional (District) Convention

  the wt is at it again it seems.

  playing dirty as it can, trying to silence dissenters.. the john cedars channel on youtube has been taken down after the posting of a video critique of regional (district) convention leaked videos.. sounds like something putin would do in russia.

  you know what they say, birds of a feather fly together--what a murder of crows all of'em!.

  And now... for something completely different...
  

  Today in one of his videos Lloyd (aka John Cedars) of the John Cedars YouTube channel and JWSurvey lost it on youtube chat ranting and raving against one of his viewers, someone by the name of iLVi.

  Several other viewers were telling him how over the top he was getting and to chill out, but to no avail he just went on and on about it, calling the other guy a troll. And it was all about his studpid leaning shelf in the background.
  

  It seems that Lloyd doesn't put up with humor from anyone, he can dish it out but he can't take it and if you cross him he'll call you a troll and make up things about you. Whatta guy!
  

  Is his YouTube fame getting to his head? Is he like one of those celebrity prima donnas who think themselves above everybody else and are free to throw tantrums when they feel like it over any little thing?
  

  He has deleted the long exchange and blocked some people, isn't that a bit of hiding written history and shunning? Following in Watchtower footprints. Delete written proof and shun the ney-sayers. How very Watchtocratic.
  

  What goes around comes around. I like his videos and all, but his temperament seems a bit precarious and his rise to ex-JW fame seems to have gone to his head in a big way. He likes interviewing the pretty ladies but he'll alpha male anyone he considers a loser not worth his attention. He fans himself a film maker but don't dare talk about his leaning shelf or he'll bust a vein and he'll block you.
  

  Anyway, just reporting on todays goings on at the John Cedars channel, and if you want to watch his latest video where he blew his top in the chat about his leaning bookshelf in the background is at:

  elders wont pray for someone?

  by AuntBee in

  2. beliefs

  a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.

  is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?

  taot.

  Well the Spanish Inquisition made a big show of praying for "the souls" of those they were burning and torturing. Go figure, right?

  Wedding Rings.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have long queried why so-called things of pagan or religious origin like christmas or easter are banned by the wts but the use of wedding rings were not.. i was talking about this with a friend who follows a wiccan path of belief and he has sent me the following information from one of his magic magazines.. quote: .

  " why do we wear our wedding ring on our ‘ring finger’ ?

  thus, to properly activate the ring finger we need to wear a golden ring on it.

  Accessify has this to say about it:

  "We analyzed Mt2414.com page load time and found that the first response time was 13 ms and then it took 1.6 sec to load all DOM resources and completely render a web page. This is quite a good result, as only 25% of websites can load faster."

  So good servers. But...

  "In fact, the total size of Mt2414.com main page is 805.5 kB. This result falls within a vast category (top 1 000 000) of heavyweight, probably not optimized, and thus slow loading web pages. Only 10% of websites need less resources to load. Javascripts take 599.0 kB which makes up the majority of the site volume."

  And very amazingly...

  "Country of origin for 48% of all visits is Netherlands. It’s good for Mt2414.com that their server is also located in Netherlands, as that enables the majority of their visitors to benefit from a much faster page load time."

  And concerning redirects:

  "As for redirects, our browser reached this domain in two steps. The first redirect led to https://mt2414.com/, then it was forwarded to https://www.mt2414.com/E_LOGIN1, and finally we managed to open this domain. We strongly recommend that the redirects should be reduced, as the more redirects a site has, the slower it loads."

  The meta data says it's "for distributio..."

  <meta property="og:site_name" content="Mt 2414" />
  <meta property="og:title" content="LOG IN :: Jehovah’s Witnesses" />
  <meta property="og:description" content="This is an authorized Web site of Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is for the distributio..." />
  <meta property="og:image" content="https://assets1.mt2414.com/apps/images/uicore-sb7dcfa9aa5.png" />
  <meta property="og:type" content="website" />
  <meta property="og:url" content="http://mt2414.com/" />

  Thanks Anders.

  I notice the JW.0rg link is branded with the JW logo and a little marca registrada (R) next to it. Whereas on the mt2414 the orange square isn't branded.

  Interesting, and I wish there was a rogue CO that would present some insights into the behind the scenes workings of the Service Dept. IT infrastructure.
