  by suavojr in

  wondering if anyone here knows why local congregations in ecuador do not have accounts under the congregation’s name.

  i just found out they use the personal information of one of the elder’s 😳 wtf .

  what’s the legal reason for this?

  I would guess that NewDay is on the right track. They are probably trying to evade some type of governmental scrutiny. Either that or they are really sloppy accountants.

  Family members here watched it live. It was held in the Warwick auditorium, which holds about 800-1000. The Warwick Bethel family were all in attendance. I guess they have all been vaccinated and felt safe to do so. There were some brief views of the audience in the live transmission just before and after the session, but the recording seems to have excluded these views.

  References in science vs references in film

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i have a science background but am fairly new to film critics and what they talk about.

  in science, references are used to support statements, introduce some ideas that other scientists may propose, etc.

  they have a purpose.

  I would say that there are several reasons.

  An intentional nod to a previous director of a famous movie. The Nosferatu reference above is an example.

  An historical statement - Apocalypse Now vs The Heart of Darkness

  Unintentional or in the imagination/vision of the viewer. ex: The Fly

  Other times it is a joke. The Seinfeld TV show writers had a lot of fun with this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFuBaRiKwD4

  Yes, as BB stated, it is still there. Whether they do any 'farming' anymore I don't know, but there is still some printing done there.

  I am kind of curious why they are not claiming the pandemic is signs of the times. They have always said the 1918 flu was a fulfillment of Matt 24, so why not this one?

  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  2. friends

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  I knew some old timers (1940’s) witnesses who dropped out after the ‘95 change. It was a real slap in the face for them, as they were old by then and had been hanging on with the generation belief.
