part of the reason I never installed the WT CDROM on my desktop that I use all the time is I was wondering if they got clever enough to add spyware to monitor you computer usage.. I wouldn't put it past them honestly.

They want to do away with the memorial so they no longer have to count the annointed so that big thing isn't hanging over their heads...

List of Prominent JW Urban Legends...
by Tuesday inhey folks,.
i'm wondering if you all could help me with my next video that i want to put up in the next couple of days (though i'm hoping for tonight), i want to come up with a list of the most prominent urban legends surrounding jws and then refute them whatever they may be.. i'm thinking there's the urban legend about the question on jeopardy that said the nwt was the most accurate would be a good one.
that one stems from an online powerpoint presentation named theological jeopardy and a book which was written comparing six different translations of the bible.

Oh I forgot I also heard the FAMOUS Urban Legend "Nasa and the missing day" Read from the platform! I knew right away it was BS.. I remember lookign around with everyone having that "awe" expression on there face. That was the day I started doubting everything! I tried to tell some people it was a popluar urban legend. They wanted to hear nothing of it. Making all excuses that "it was heard from the platform by a BROTHER" and "of course NASA would deny it ever happened". UGH..

Lets see I heard one where a sister lived in a trailer or a small shack of a house. A angry anti witness mob showed up with torches to burn her house down.. just as they were about the to throw their torches. It rained....
I heard that one of the Eagles had become a witness, I googled it found nothing to that effect. some sister even had a tape of "him" singing his own songs about the kingdom. Which I found odd cause the society FROWNS upon making up your own kingdom songs.
another was told to me by the woman it happened to. some guy had her by the throat and she SCREAMED Jehovah as loud as she could...and the man let go and ran away. She thought it was a miracle. I think he just ran cause she yelled.
I also heard of one of a sister "in another country" where she was about to be killed and some how the men who were supposed to kill her couldn't see her. or something. I think she rolled in ditch and they couldn't find her.
I remember the last day of the circuit assembly the last talk was always FULL of these "miracle" experiences. Don't hear much of them anymore.
I was told once the reason I was having nightmares was cause demons were after me.
Also if anyone else that is "worldly" has a miracle experience where they say and angel helped them or something. It is automaticly assumed Demons saved them. Only dubs get to brag they were saved by God..

Yeah I know of anther elder from another hall who was an elder since I could remember daughter my age. and then told his wife he was leaving her and he had a mistress for YEARS. My father said he was glad cause he said never never liked how "overly friendly" he was with me when I was little. He said it just didn't feel right to him. LOVLY...

HAHAHA we had Harris.. I rememeber he was having his last day at the other congregations who's Hall we shared, we had him the previous week. He was leaving and out congregation was going in. and a sister from my congregation SHOVES through almost knocked me in my butt just to shake his hand and say goodbye making a fuss over him. TO me it looked like he OBVIOUSLY wanted to go home and was annoyed with hold up.
We did have an elder removed once no idea why (I suspect messing with the children..) he finally get appointed. Then he doesn't last a month. It seemed like the week after they annonced he was an elder they were saying he was removed. LOL got to love it..So much for appointed by Holy Spirit..

They need to start doing random pat downs at the least. And I know they have a thing where you walk though and it puffs air on you to check for explosive residue and have a bomb sniffing dog walking through the security area. I know they have dogs checking for produce walking around checking for that smuggle banana...they really need to have bomb dogs walking the place these days. I know my suitcase once tested postive for explosives. There were no explosives in it.. and they turned that thing in sideout. I think it was resuidue that came off my dads hunting coat that got on the suitcase cause there stored near each other.

New Light: Don't hold hands during prayers
by RR infrom the watchtower november 15 study edition.. 19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.
" (1 pet 2:17) there may be a proper time and place for some actions that would be inappropriate at a christian meeting.
(eccl 3:1) for instance, suppose someone sought to have all in a group link arms or hold hands during prayer.

Fun with numbers (or the Watchtower running out of steam) Statistics
by Aussie Oz inhaving a look through the march wt pdf and noticed the graph showing the growth of jws and did a little basic math.
now math was not my strongest subject at school so i can stand some correcting on this if need be... but anyway, a little fun with numbers:.
1970; 1'483'000 is a growth of about 390% (av 19.5% per year).

I wonder if they still count those who have "fallen way" not disfellowshiped but just stopped coming to meetings. I know some who only show up for the memorial. I wonder if there still counted. Then there is the high publisher count. cause everyone has there KIDS adn bible studies turning in time..and how many of those kids or studies get baptized. I think the WT does pad the numbers.
