...and they're clearly in the mood for pushing it on youtube.. .

what is it with all these random youtube channels, each showing polished and highly-produced videos.
It is totally a rip off of apple's style of commerical.
I was thinking the same thing. I left a comment saying as much on the video but comments need approval and ratings have been disabled just like every other religious video on youtube. They're so strong in their faith, that they wouldn't dare listen to any opposing viewpoints.
jehovah's witnesses have a vast array of buzzterms that are fed into them on a regular basis, not the least of which is the term "bible principles.
" for most of my life i was convinced that only members of the watchtower bible and tract society were applying bible principles in the correct way.
this was mainly because we believed we had the correct translation of the holy scriptures which was largely rejected by "satan's world.
The real life principles come from the growth of mankind as we learn more about ourselves simply through making choices and experiencing life as it unfolds before us.
That is a powerful statement. I wish more people in general could understand this, not just the religious.
Being hard-headed and closed minded is a choice that you are free to make. However don't expect the rest of us to wait on you as we continue growing and evolving.
i was listening, albeit unwittingly, to a 'my book of bible stories' tape and this statement caught me by surprise.
it's found in story 20:.
"one day when dinah came to visit, shechem took dinah and forced her to lie down with him.
first of all, i really appreciate it when official, especially "secret," boe letters and the like are posted here.
it's great to have that stuff on hand, straight from the horse's... uhh...mouth, when certain "friends" deny the slave would ever do or say such and such.... anyway, there have been some references to a letter they sent out about using ipads and the like during congregation meetings.
could anyone provide a scan or link to this letter?
What's the reasoning behind banning their use from the platform?

just noticed three tornado warnings that included dallas, arlington, and fort worth.
nws text for these warnings stated that there were two "large and extremely dangerous tornadoes" confirmed on the ground in the area.

i do not consider myself religious in any way.
i do believe in "god" and i think i am a spiritual person to some degree.. what about you?.
No, no, and maybe.
Spiritual is such a nebulous term I guess in some ways it would apply to me. But it's not something I think about regularly.
its just praised religous telemarketing!.
ive been doing it this whole morning and the only thing i've done to make it go quicker was to memorize a disconnected number.. its been working extremely well.... but did any of you that ever did it feel strange like you were selling something?!
like you were in a call center?.
I was always uneasy with tele-witnessing. It was quite a departure from what I was used to and felt really disingenuous. Plus it felt weird having the whole service group watching you as do it.
I used to envision a future where all witnessing would be done in call center style. That way the elders could keep a close eye on everyone's production and "encourage" those you aren't making their quota.
