I don't get the iPad thing at the meetings. How do they prevent people from surfing the internet, reading emails, checking sports scores, and the million other things to distract that forms the basis of the Internet?

Do they have monitors to make sure everyone is focusing on the material? I used to be criticized for reading scriptures that were not addressed by the speaker. That was nothing compared to the bag of candy that is readily available now. I cannot imagine how distracting (and wonderful) an iPad is at a meeting.

Want to make Money $ with a Web Site?

by sarahsmile in

has anyone had success with a high traffic website or blog ?.

it might take a team of people to accomplish.. ads pay and people count, lots and lots of people.

does jehovahs-witness.net make money every time someone looks at the web site?

The free market enterprise system is wonderful. I hope that Simon makes money or at least covers his cost - because this justifies his presence in this environment. If others are able to make money god bless them all. The internet is presented as a cost free source of entertainment but that is just not true. There is a cost and hopefully a corresponding source of funding to cover this cost.

Watching the World - Awake! August 2014

watching the world.

''every year, nearly 3 million babies die within the first month of life, most from preventable causes.

more than a third of these babies die on their first day of life" - save the children international.

These are all babies that will be the first to be resurrected. The fact that they die before rejecting the Watchtower justifies their resurrection. So in JW speak this is a good thing. But, who will raise them given that their evil parents will all die at Armageddon?
