  you cannot make this up: financial help and the hand of jehovah complete project.

  january 2016 jw broadcasting..... video starts at 35:30. a local design construction department manager named travis brooks tells a story about a building project on the island of yap, micronesia.

  a small kingdom hall needs to be expanded because the facility wasn't big enough for those in attendance.

  Pete, you are right, I should have used the term 'less ideal' for building. I personally wouldn't want anything structural built with it though.

  You need a special type of sand, mainly found in rivers to make concrete. Beach sand is not used because it is too smooth. By the way, the world is starting to run out of usable concrete sand.

  Christmas star of Bethlehem to appear for 1st. Time in 800 years

  as spock would say " fascinating".. with 2020 being such a terrible year.

  are people of the christian faith going to look at this as a sign of god, to give them hope and renew their faith?

  coincidence?

  There have been some really beautiful conjunctions during 2020, mainly consisting of the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter and lately, Mars, which is the bright orange object almost directly overhead in the early evening right now.

  As an avid stargazer for most of my life, I am really looking forward to this event but, as an avid stargazer, I predict it will be a cloudy night where I live on the 21st December 2020.

  Should Social Media Silence Conservative Views?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  i find it very disturbing that media outlets as well as facebook, instagram, google and others decide that a point of view is not acceptable simply because they don’t share an opinion.

  perhaps it is at least right now but i think it’s very wrong.

  what’s your view?

  The way I understand it, social media is trying to prevent blatantly false news and are not necessarily picking on any single group.

  hello all interested persons,.

  whilst driving to work this morning listening to the radio, my ears pricked when the presenter began talking about jws.

  it was on a programme which airs between 8.00 and 8.30 entitled am, and broadcast on the abc national radio.

  Years ago, Australian Bethel printed literature for a large part of the oceania region as far as I remember. The printing there was pretty major. Do they still have all that equipment, or is it long gone?

  A Salute to Petra/Atlantis

  whilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.

  i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.

  no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.

  If a jw is stumbled because of a major change in doctrine, he is a weak, mentally diseased apostate.

  When the gb changes a doctrine that was preached as truth to the world for decades in gods name, it was because they simply 'erred', however, they still expect unquestioning obedience.

  There is a reason there is so much self righteous arrogance in the org. It starts at the top and flows down.

  The video spends the first 7.5 mins quoting verses about Jesus being questioned and doubted by pharisees, setting up the premise that to question the GB is to question God.

  It then goes on to point out a few glaring problems that have caused many to leave or question but assures us that its the individuals fault- never the GB.

  A few interesting comments about the possibility of not having the normal JW experience in the future. Gives the impression that there is a possibility of downsizing, or trimming some fat. Probably meaningless but opens the door for change if they need it.

  Was 2019 the last convention ever?

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in a recent feel-good instagram post about the 2019 international convention, a jw remarked, "was it the last convention we will have?".

  there is no doubt jw's feel they are truly special and that world events revolve around them directly.

  there is also no doubt that whether we get a vaccine for covid or not, and at the moment, its looking very certain that we will, that the world will continue to spin and life will go on, regardless of the beliefs of the jw's.. once the pandemic is over i'm wondering if some jw's will realise that even though they lived through a notable period of time, life kept sailing on, and maybe they aren't that special after all?
