  WARNING - THE WTBS CAN LOCATE YOU

  by Jim Dee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  guys and girls.

  the society have now instituted carnivore - their data tracking system installed into the uk bethel to track all apostate email and activity.

  the reason is the amount of "leaks" of confidential mail and facts.. they have tried and failed with legal blocking, so now they are plugging the leaks, these guys were brought into mill hill late last year after the leak of the june 1 letter.. their method is to use message boards and chat rooms for the "disaffected" and get them to go to other "society monitored" web sites.

  OK, I finished reading through the posts and I am glad that when I reached Mindchild and Rhett's posts it was straightened out. If there is one thing that bugs me the most is when someone goes off half-cocked and tells everyone about technology that they themselves have no clue about.

  Here's the skinny:

  1. Hyperlinks from a website, such as this one pointing to another web site, generate a referral log in the redirected site's access log that shows the link where the person came from. Nothing special here, no Carnivore, just plain old internet logging.

  2. Carnivore was already touched on earlier. To put it in simple terms, if you were to have any experience in using an ethernet sniffer, you would know that you can retrieve all ethernet and IP traffic IF you are on the same 'wired' LAN, not WAN. For the FBI's use, Carnivore is placed on the ISP's last switch or hub before the uplink to the IP cloud router. This allows packet sniffing of all incoming and outgoing traffic and can be matched to a particular MAC(your computer's NIC, modem, router, etc), IP address, or however else they want to tag it. It is merely an overglorified ethernet sniffer that also has a backhaul link that routes/copies the 'tagged' packets and sends them to a database that compiles all of the information they want on you. CALEA is similar. It is used by law enforcement for wireline/wireless phone tapping. The phone technicians in the central office never touch the CALEA box once it is installed. The law enforcement agency gets its court order and does their own tapping remotely.

  3. Blocking cell phone usage in a building. If it's in the USA, then it is illegal, due to 911 issues and carries with it a hefty fine of about $10k a day I think. I'm not sure how other countries stand right now. I have heard of some using them in theaters and religious temples though.

  OR...once the WTS gets hit with an unending stream of lawsuits, they now have the legal assets to sell-off in order to cover expenditures. The given 'reason' will be to "combine congregations" or some other excuse.

  When to expect CO visit?

  by ChakkaConned in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my understanding is that when a co comes for a visit to a cong., the first day he reviews the pub records, etc.

  is there a certain day or day's during that week that he accompanies the elder's to specifically call on inactive ones?

  is there a set schedule or time that the co follows during his visits for this?

  Best day? Try Saturday. The last two times I received a visit from the CO was on Saturdays.....while my wife was out in fs of course! I wonder how they knew I might be home? Oh, and the CO is always accompanied by 'your' favorite elder. What I mean is, whichever elder you have the best relationship with is the one that most likely will show up too. At least that is what happened with me.

  Knowing how Witnesses do things, this suggests that the two betrothed were not "in good standing" at the time of the wedding.

  That is not always true. Myself and a couple good friends of mine were all married away from the KH. Our reason was quite simple. We had roughly 400+ people show(around 500-600 invites were sent out) so we knew that the KH could not hold everyone. We had the ceremony and reception at the same location in a large hotel conference center. My friends that I mentioned above, did the same as us for the same reason. Now of course, I have had some friends get married away from the KH for the reason you mentioned, but it never did bother me that they were fooling around before they were married(no sex, just, well, you know). Heck, my wife and I fooled around. And here she was, a pioneer, and a PO for a dad. She felt so guilty and always wondered if the bros would ask us before we got married if we ever fooled around. The good old days!

  Someone above mentioned the idea of a blimp. My idea was to fly a small plane such as a Cessna with one of those advertisement banners strung behind the plane. It could simply say, "www.SilentLambs.com" or something else that is easy to remember. I remember at the old Jack Murphy Stadium(now Qualcomm) conventions having one of those planes fly around everyday, almost all day long. I think it changed banners every so often throughout the day. Of course, it would catch everyone's attention as it is quite easy to glance upward and read the banner to see what it says. The hum of the single prop airplane flying above contributed to the curiosity of the message too. At the time, that was one thing that took my mind off of the program which helped me to stay awake. It helped wearing sunglasses too, so no one could see that you were staring at the plane the entire time.

  Man, I kind of miss those outdoor conventions. You're a weirdo if you wear your sunglasses to an indoor assembly.

  Back in Ann Arbor, where Christian and MaryJane Longo were married nearly nine years ago, a fresh grave was filled at the back of the Bethlehem United Church of Christ Cemetery.

  Under the mound of dirt and the piles of dying yellow roses, MaryJane Longo and her three children have come home.

  Does it not seem strange that they would be buried behind a "Church?" Or was this some type of empty grave that the town locals created? I cannot see her parents who are JW's allowing her to be buried there. But who knows?

  insanity

  by flower in

  2. medical

  i am definately insane although i dont think it can all be blamed on the knowledge i've obtained recently and trying to deal with the aftermath.

  at least part of the reason is probably genetic.

  so where are the angels of mercy for people with incurable insanity?

  Dave,

  Your picture looks very familiar and I have been wanting to ask you a couple of questions. Do you have any brothers, and if you do, does your last name start with an H? I worked with someone in the past who highly resembles you. In fact, he showed me pictures of his family and one of his brothers looked just like you. You also mentioned that you were a cop before. The person I used to work with was also a cop.

  thanks, jourles

  I just got done listening to that Townsend meeting. They were overly prepared for those elders, and had all materials to back everything up too. Laverne was kind of quiet, but that was ok. I was listening to this in the other room and had the volume just right(the wife would not want to listen to this sort of thing ;-). When Laverne would speak, the ambient volume would jump! You could tell she had the microphone.

  For as much preparation as they put into that meeting, it kind of surprised me for them to whip out that letter of DA in the end. Oh well, the BOE would have axed them anyways.
