A possible way for the Watch Tower to generate revenue via their website.
by adjusted knowledge inearlier in the week someone posted the potential value of the jw website based on visits and if they used advertisements.
many stated they would never do that but i propose they could.. besides their real estate profit making business model, they have the conventions as cash generating machines.
they give directions to their members to which hotels/motels to use.

There's probably several ways of doing it and this was my method. You need to download a picture of your choice to your computer. Double click on your username on the top bar, right hand side. This will bring you into a section which will give you the choice to 'Upload Avatar Image'. Select that and it will bring you back into your own computer to search for the picture that you previously downloaded or have in your picture files. Double click on the one you want and finish off by selecting 'update your profile'.
Hope that works.

Similarities with North Korean leadership
by stillin ini wonder whether nk leader un has even seen this movie, "the interview.
" he might even get a laugh out of it.
but the censorship is so similar to the censorship found among jw's!

We got sucked in and watched the movie to see what all the controversy was about. The movie is pretty disgusting. It was designed to be highly offensive. There was no need to portray Kim Jong Un in this movie.
Our opinion was that North Korea had nothing to do with the hacking of Sony's computers. The attack and resulting publicity has the result of attracting more viewers to the movie, all intentional.
It defies belief that any Country has the ability to hack into any large corporation's computer system. If this is the case then we have a serious problem on our hands.
Obama expressed his concern about freedom of speech. If it was himself that was portrayed in a movie like this instead of Kim Jong Un I don't doubt that there would be many people in the USA expressing how sickening this movie was.
North Korea has a relatively small population and a limited amount of funds, providing a good opportunity to experiment with this type of propaganda.

Greetings, yet have problems
by Dubby ini'm married, have a wonderful, but "unbelieving" wife.
i have three kids, all of whom are honor students and very responsible.. now my dilemma: none of my kids are the least bit interested in being jw's.
i took them all to meetings even as babies without the help of my wife or anyone else in the congregation.

That's what's missing from our family
by dissonance_resolved intonight as i was putting my son to bed, we were looking out his bedroom window from his bed, down upon the neighbors' house across the street.
they have a beautiful, big sparkly christmas tree in their front window and my son gazed at it and said, "that's what's missing from our family.
" talk about daggers through the heart!.

Is it possible for you to buy them some gifts and give it to them on their birthday or Xmas day? You could try doing it in secret and tell the kids not let their father see them until a short time after the occassion.
Our Grandmother would send us kids a little package a month before or after our brithday each year, it used to infuriate our dad and she would use the excuse that she felt she needed to recognize each of us individually at least once a year. Then at Xmas time we would holiday with her and at the end of it she would have a special dinner and give us all presents. It was so thoughtful and puts a smile on my face when I think about it now.

Can your pervert the meaning of scripture even more...
by never a jw infor a while i have shaken my head after learning how jw's interpret (rather corrupt the meaning of) matthew 8:11. i thought it couldn't get any worse.
i was wrong.
the following is an extract of the march 2015 watchtower in pg 27. the writer is explaining the meaning of mathew 25:31-46. enjoy!.

Therefore, one of the primary ways that those judged to be sheep show kindness to Christ’s brothers is by supporting them [anointed brothers] in the preaching work.
In other words
Therefore, one of the main things the R&f need to do in order to be saved is by their works as ordered by the so called anointed or Governing Body. In this instance the 'work' is the preaching work.

UNDERSTANDING WHY THE ORGANIZATION is a false idol and a BLASPHEMY
by Terry indo we understand these three words: worship, idolatry, and blasphemy?.
most christians have a vague notion of worship, idolatry, and blasphemy already, but.
a clear definition is necessary.. we must take care to differentiate, however.. how the words appear in original language and how they are defined today might be at odds.. ____________________.

Excellant thread.
One aspect that is stumblying and which the organization uses today is the original earthly nation that God established a covenant with to become his people. Worship seemed to be more of a physical display rather than emotional, with written laws to be obeyed, sacrifices, fistivals and a temple. God required this showy display of worship. Was worship an emotional thing to them? Maybe that is why they were not successful in God's eyes and why Jesus needed to bring in a new covenant, one that was attainable for imperfect human. Once we appreciate and understand that worship is an emotion which comes from the heart we can be assured that this is God's will.
What the organization has done, is set itself up as a new earthly Israel on the pretence that it is a spiritual Israel. This is demonstratable on many levels but most significantly by excluding the great crowd of other sheep as being excluded from the spiritual Israel.

Kingdom chorus
by looter inso im at the meeting after its over and this elder says to me that god needs my voice because he, the elder, feels that my singing is not loud enough.
i did not tell him this, but singing just is not my thing.
he then went on saying how gods people are better singers than "the worlds singers".

You should ask him from which scripture he gets the idea that God needs your voice, the scriptures show the opposite and that God doesn't need anything from us mere humans.
It sounds like he let this last JW TV org monthly program go to his head, there was a large portion spent on discussing how important Kingdom Songs were and anything in comparison was just candy. They also mentioned that elders needed to prepare for some meeting in January where they would be singing a new song.
