i read this post more than a year ago: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/212313/1/watchtower-publications-for-ipad.

since i saw it, i've been waiting for the first brother or sister to show up at the hall with an ipad to see what happens.

a little here and there at the conventions and assemblies.

Dec KM has an insert re. using the website, and that in part encourages the use of mobile devices in the ministry:

30 min:

How We Can Make Good Use of Our Official

Web Site.

Discussion of pages 3-6. When

considering page 4, have a three-minute demonstration

of a family concluding their Family Worship

evening. The family head asks for ideas about

what to cover the following week, and the children

point out items from the “Teenagers” section

of the Web site that they would like to discuss.

Invite audience to comment on how they

have used jw.org, or plan to use it, for personal

and family study. When considering page 5, have

a three-minute demonstration of a publisher with

a mobile device using the site to answer a householder’s

question about our beliefs.When considering

page 6, have a four-minute demonstration

of a publisher talking to an interested person who

prefers to read in a different language. The publisher

uses his mobile device or the householder’s

computer to display a page fromthe

Know the

Truth

tract or the Bible Teach

book in the householder’s

Stay At Home Moms/Dads

i have a 3 and 1 year old.

hubby is a stay at home dad and i take care of the bills.

i have to, cause instead of working on his career when he was younger, he decided to pioneer- that is something that now i have to pay the price for which really sucks.. i feel that since i pay the bills, it's his job to cook and do all of the cleaning.

A similar situation that really gets my back up - families on benefits (that shouldn’t be)!

If you are in the US I guess you call it welfare. Look, I have nothing against individuals or families that try their best but still require assistance. But, when husband and wife both work part time (or just the husband works part time) and pioneer, knowing that benefits will fill the gap it’s just plain wrong. What makes it worse is when they comment – put down those that work hard so as to support themselves.

Depends if they are following the rules! Know the rules and insist on them.

JUDICIAL HEARING:

“If the accused contends that he is innocent, the witness to the wrongdoing should be presented and their testimony should be given in the presence of the accused “

APPEAL HEARING:

“If the accused continues to contend that he is innocent, the witnesses should again give their testimony in his presence, he should be given the opportunity to respond”

New MS - Looking for the "better" job

by nochoice in

long, long time lurker and great fan of the site - first time poster.

i am not sure if i am truly a lurker since that implies i am apostate-curious.

in fact, i have been mentally out completely for a long time, but still physically in like many of you.

TMS assistant – there is no such job officially? Is it listed anywhere?

My understanding is that the TMS overseer handled the schedule and conducted the main (larger) school etc. He has no assistant. However, an assistant would be provided should a second school also be running(usually an elder). In that case being the school asst. wouldn't be one of the easier jobs to be handed.

"I don't really care Dad, I will just go with what they say"!

by AnonJW in

that is what my son said to me this morning during a further discussion on yesterdays wt study, and upon learning that the 1978 light is back.. i can only blame myself.

AnonJW

It was the point that the new lightre the toes of the image is in fact the old light from 1978

*** w786/15p.13HumanGovernmentsCrushedbyGod’sKingdom***

Tracing the development of the world powers through the image, from head to foot in the stream of time, we see that it begins with Babylon, and progressively goes through Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. The “fourth kingdom,” represented in the legs and feet, began with the Roman Empire. As time progressed, the power of this empire waned and the British Empire ascended, it being really an outgrowth from the old Roman Empire. This was so even though there was a vying with certain remnants of the Roman Empire for the position of world power. (Dan. 7:19, 20) There does not appear to be any prophetic significance to the image’s having ten toes. This is a natural human feature, just as the image has two arms, two legs, and so forth.
