It is easier to study, less to bring to the meetings and assemblies. I can't speak for everyone who uses tablets at, but for me its less about showing off and more about convenience. if I have to pretend that I give a rat's ass about the meeting at least this makes it easier to deal with it.

why using a tablet at the platform during the meeting?
by Gorbatchov ini can't understand why the governing body aka fds has to deside about using a tablet by the speaker at the platform.. why using a tablet anyway at the platform?.
just a toy to keep the youth inside the congregation.. gorby.

Why doesn't the GB come out with specific rules on counting time
by trujw ini think we all know the reason millions of less hours.
when i was in we went to a rv by the kingdom hall then drove 30 minutes out to the country to knock on a door then back to the city for one more door.
god must be so proud!

In real practice nowdays, for appointed brothers anyway, more emphasis is placed on your "visibility" as opposed to the actual amount of time you are spending. Provided of course that you are getting at least the average of the congregation which varies 6-10+ hrs. As far as how you count your time nobody really give's a shit anymore in all honesty. I barely go out a few hrs a month but I do show up and take my group out and "show my face" and the other elders think I am so regular.. lol so stupid.

The GREEN-colored and the GREY-colored Bibles...
by Calebs Airplane ingreen was, with the druids, a symbol of hope and the virtue of hope with a freemason illustrates the hope of immortality.
in all the ancient mysteries, this idea was carried out, and green symbolized the birth of a new world, the moral creation of the initiate.
hence the new world translation of the holy scriptures.. on the other hand, the color grey in high-ranking freemasonry is said to simbolize a 7-year period of tribulation and turmoil.. given the masonic origins of the watchtower bible & tract society, it's quite possible that the worldwide masonic powers to be have already set in motion the wheels of "tribulation" which started with the government shutdown in the us and will end with a zionist objective that we are yet to see 7 years from now..

At newboy school we were told that the bible was green as were(are) the trim around the factory building windows because that was Knorr's favorite color. Grey, Losch's color...who the fcuk knows or cares.

Wife says "John 17:3 is just like Christendom's translations!"
by leaving_quietly inshe downloaded the jw library app which has the parallel versions of a verse, and upon looking at john 17:3, she said the above to me.
i wonder if this will start causing chinks in the armor for many jws, especially when they look up john 14:14 or rev.
5:10. the months ahead should be interesting..

I was wondering why did they pick a gray color on their new bibles?
by Iamallcool in.
.
if i was on the committee to choose colors, i will definitely turn down that really ugly color!.

I'll play devils advocate and say that I don't mind the grey colour. Need all bibles be your typical black? No. Let's focus on attacking the reasons for this revision and the content rather than nit picking on the appearance.

I understand all your points but remember this is a cult, they change things to suit their peculiar beliefs... so why change it in the first place is my point. It was understood in their old rendering. BTW they do consider oral as a deviant sexual act and there is a "dont ask dont tell" policy more or less regarding it. I mean if they consider it to be a homosexual act if say a straight man desperate for a BJ pays a gay prostitute for one then why make it that complicated isnt it all just porniea anyway? This change was specific: submit to homosexual act... very strange

God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled.
Those who are sexually immoral
idolaters, adulterers,
men who submit to homosexual
acts men who practice homosexuality
Are they preparing to make oral sex a disfellowshipping offense? Submit to homosexual acts...... hmmm

A small observation from the AGM...
by sir82 in...but it struck me as significant anyway.. i attended at a jw assembly hall, and was sitting behind a pretty typical jw family.
2 kids about ages 8 & 5, frazzled hen-pecked husband, and....the mom.
the lady of the house.

I am thinking new Insight volumes as well. So many changes since 1988 plus most of the Insight was copied from the old AID book and that was written by one of the "evil slave" so they may want to further distance themselves.
