  Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

  by thedepressedsoul in

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  When setting it up make it where a password is required them they can't get in. Make it something know one will know, like 1884

  I also was thinking about this and got the hardware but was unable to decide on what to share.

  My thoughts on it was to create a site where the info looked like it was semi-private info for the Convention.

  Maybe FAQ being asked pioneers at the door and explanations from the WTBTS that conceded that the info was correct. Such as the 607BCE/ 586BCE conflict. Pyramid info from CTR,..and on and on and on.

  Maybe the Shepherding the flock of God book being mentioned that householders had found it online ( so the Jws would know the name and that it was online) Possibly info about Candace Conti, Australian Royal Commission.

  The idea is to not alert them to the fact that the info does not come from an Apostate. I would be truthful but would share enough info as if they were telling the Jws how to handle these questions.

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  Woke myself up.

  It was the 2010 Generation change of definition that made me go slack jaw. I had missed the DC that year where it was brought up and my wife knew that I always had issues with "new light" mods so she failed to let me know about it.

  My family was at a yearly JW family meetup and one of my cousins brought up the "new light" and I listened in and went all blank wondering what I just had heard.

  This set me on a course to eventually start to look at youtube videos from exjws. As I started to get a little more room in my thinking ability, as far as exjw info, I started to visit this site and also JWR. Eventually I contacted Steven Hassan and had a interview with him about how to get my wife and children out of the cult. Toward the end of the phone call with him he asked if I had someone else help me get out or if I had done it on my own..

  I told him that I did it on my won and he told he that it was very difficult to get yourself out of a cult. At that moment I felt a wave of emotion come over me as this was the first time that I had been commended for all the work and mental stress I had been through for the last year plus. It felt really good to know that I was on the right track.

  I'm glad to say that even though it was the hardest thing to do, I was able to get my wife and 2 children out of the cult.

  Have you heard the one about "Back to the Future" Predicting 911??

  by EndofMysteries in

  when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.

  after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.

  at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.

  And when the 2 stop watches were being held next to each other the time was 1:19 and when that is flipped over it would read 611 not 911 so tell me what June 11th has to do with anything? Thought so,... Until you can show me something about June 11th I'm not endorsing this video. (ha)

  P.S. These are the people that require people like Robert Zemekis to have a security detail.

  woody harrelson and mathew mcconaughey { standing at the back of the k..h..during a meeting }.

  w.h.. "what do you know about these people " { who get their higher education reading and studying the watchtower and awake magazines} ?.

  "just observation and deduction , i see propensity for obesity , poverty, a yen for fairy tales , folks putting what few bucks they do have into contribution boxes .. i think it`s safe to say that nobody here is going to be splitting the atom.

  I had to stop reading the Watchtower and Awake magazines as I had heard that reading them was equivalent to getting a college education and I know that they said that getting a college education would be detrimental to my spirituality.

  Not sure what to do now,...Ha

  Who Qualifies for TTATT?

  Sometimes the TTATT is like a,... well,.. a malignant tumor that has wrapped itself around a person spinal cord to the point where surgery is not an option as it could paralyze the person. I think what determines the option for telling them or not is just how bad the tumor is entangled with the cord and if the health of the person (mental health) can take the tedious surgery to remove the tumor.

  I think there are Jws that I know that would not be able to "take it" and would crash and burn upon trying to hear the TTATT. A few of them, if handcuffed to a table, would beat their head against the table to try to knock themselves out before listening to TTATT.

  Rumor that SP OVER 50 are being put back in the system.

  by notjustyet in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just read this over on jwr that a few members have heard that sp that were being told that they were being cut at the first of the year are now being put back in the system.

  the speculation is that they would have a harder time finding employment than those under 50.. anyone else able to confirm this?.

  its probably a good thing as the wtbts will lose that money, these older ones will still be able to make it and the wtbts have shown their hand as far as this is what they would have liked to have happen.

Also they show that they are reactive to input from members and they are not thinking through their game plan enough since they are making decisions and then reversing them within a few weeks.

  The right to shun - wrong?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.

  it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.

  of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.

  Ostracism or exclusion may not leave external scars, but it can cause pain that often is deeper and lasts longer than a physical injury, according to a Purdue University expert.
  "Being excluded or ostracized is an invisible form of bullying that doesn't leave bruises, and therefore we often underestimate its impact," said Kipling D. Williams, a professor of psychological sciences. "Being excluded by high school friends, office colleagues, or even spouses or family members can be excruciating. And because ostracism is experienced in three stages, the life of those painful feelings can be extended for the long term. People and clinicians need to be aware of this so they can avoid depression or other negative experiences."
  When a person is ostracized, the brain's dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which registers physical pain, also feels this social injury, Williams said. The process of ostracism includes three stages: the initial acts of being ignored or excluded, coping and resignation.
  Williams' research is reported in the current issue of Current Directions in Psychological Sciences. The article was co-authored by Steve A. Nida, associate provost and dean of The Citadel Graduate College and a professor of psychology.
  "Being excluded is painful because it threatens fundamental human needs, such as belonging and self-esteem," Williams said. "Again and again research has found that strong, harmful reactions are possible even when ostracized by a stranger or for a short amount of time."

  Some good info about "hurting" others by shunning.

  When shunned I should ask my family "Why did you beat me, slap me, hit me the other day when I saw you at the store?" The would say,. "I never did anything like this,.. you must be crazy!"

  Then tell them that they did something worse,... they continually ignore you

  Maybe we could show some family member that they are doing worse than "hitting us"
