i would guess this is the wave of the future.
a secondary channel of business revenue for the wts - compensation for recommending restaurants, tours, etc.
Evening Program ... they put on an evening of entertaiment for the foreign delegates and invite 100 or so local JW's in good standing to mingle with them.'
They sure are embracing the 100 year mark like it is something good.

a discussion of this talk on friday morning deserves its own thread.
as i said elsewhere, it was a remarkable one.
the speaker was manfred vencebi (google him - he's a bethel bigwig) and some of his remarks are real gems.
there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.
he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.
he was also arrested soon after this.
The guy is clearly sick. But how long should he be disfellowshipped? According to their view, they are the only true Christians and as long as he is disfellowshipped he is doomed. Forgive 77 times (or 70 x 7), it's not so much the allowing him back in that is the problem, it's how they protect the vulnerable once he comes back.
it happened to one of my friends.
what do you think of the guy's behavior?.
a girl and a guy are coworkers.
The correct spelling in my part of the world is neighbor
Welcome Rosie.
The guys behavior (behaviour)? Certainly not what a "good" JW would do. He is using your friend. As far as a tatoo goes, they still frown on getting them as a Witness but it is no longer ruled out. Hopefully your friend breaks it off with this guy.
i was wondering if anyone is aware of any recordings of the convention as of yet?
i know its relatively early, so i may just have to wait.
just curious if anyone had a copy yet.. thanks!.
I have downloaded all but Sunday PM, my connection got too slow by then, perhaps my ISP because my wife was trying to watch netflix and it couldn't handle the stream until I stopped the download. now I'm wondering if the isp is going to send me one of those nasty letters threatening me for downloading 20gb of video.

I noticed that it works when using Chrome or Firefox but does not on current version of IE. I imagine if you add the website to compatibility view in IE it may work, but I didn't try.

i was going to say "i could do with a leak" but that would sound wrong.
so i'll rephrase, has anyone got a leaked copy of the new dvd released at the district sorry regional convention this year?.
Thanks again wifibandit ...

has this become the official cult watchtower theme song?.
here is a video making the rounds on facebook.
Trying to make the facebook video clickable (as if anybody really wants to see it) as in all of the pictures and videos i have seen, for some reason the huge jw.org banners look so cultish and idolatrous, they sure are going to town with that and JW's are running with it.
