Proof the GB is right about the Generation teaching.

by hardtobeme in

this is jesus explaining the generation teaching just as splane did it.

this is proof that the gb has jehovah's blessings.. there you can see peter and the other disciples paying close attention to what jesus is saying.

but they had to wait till 1914, franz appearance and 3 kind of anointed ones.

Glad you are enjoying that, I made that a month or so ago.

Maybe I should print one out frame it and hang it in the KH.

What about a picture at Bethel where we could superimpose/photoshop this onto a wall in the GB meeting room,.. haha

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.

For info hosting devices another idea as far as trying to get as much info into the mind of the viewer would be to create a name for the wifi connection that would draw the person into the site. It would need to look as if the WTBTS was creating a wifi connection for pioneers or elders Ministerial servants or Attendants.

Then on the inside write up some Q and A info to look like the WTBTS was sending out info to the elders to answer FAQ from the Rank and File. "Questions currently being asked by householders and answers that work"

Q Is it true that the vast majority of archeologist say that Jerusalem fell to the babylonians on 586 BCE instead of the date of 607 BCE?

A: While it's true that there is substantial evidence that this over throw happened in 586 BCE due to cuneiform records etc, the writing department assures us that it happened in 607BCE as Charles Taze Russell determined by comparing these years to the internal measurements of the pyramid of Ghiza"

Q and A like this could cover pedophole issues including Royal Australian Commission etc,...

I had thought about putting the device like the pirate box tacit wifibandit has used into a briefcase or a large book.

Make the power to the device run through a contact switch that uses a magnet to trip. This would allow you to toggle the power on and off to the device so that if you thought you were being tracked, you could just power it down without drawing attention to yourself.

For instance the handle on the briefcase could be flipped over to one side to power it on and the other to turn the power off.

Inside a large purse you could just have a much button toggle switch to turn it on and off, just reach in and push the button.

These would be the devices that would host some actual info like the jwfacts.com site or the elders book etc,..

by breezy in

i obviously get the love bombing from relatives when they don't see you at the hall for a while.

" we missed you at the meeting last week.

Check out this William Miller chart Pre 1843 many decades before CTR was ever born. See the 2520 years over on the right. This would be something you could bring up as to how the WTBTS got the 2520 years? They will mention CTR then you could share that he got this info from William Miller. Also check out videos on Youtube about "The Great Disappointment" showing how WM thought the end was coming in 1844 and how that worked out.

Paranoia after today's Watchtower

by Truthexplorer in

boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.

not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

I have an idea for an app,.. or maybe the WTBTS can include on their app.

It's a list for Jws of all their contacts of JWs they know. It will allow you to designate a condition for the person.

Elder caught on camera harassing EXJW neighbor.

by notjustyet in

there pertinent stuff starts at 11:30 minute mark.

it says in the video that this guy is an elder neighbor and has been shooting his chickens and also possible killing the plants in his garden.

Wait,.. what?

The elder was breaking the photo beam which sounded an alarm tone in the guys house, over and over and over. The last video of him shows that he himself realized that he was "caught on camera" as he never continued doing it afterward.

This is an ELDER harassing a EXJW by continually tripping his driveway sensor. Yes the guy has some freaky hair and bible ideas but this does not give the ELDER the right to annoy the home owner.

If you look in one of the videos you can see the driveway sensor attached to the 2nd wooden support post. The ELDER is waving his arm/hand through this beam that shoots to the other side of the opening.

Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

by Dunedain in

there were always all types of speakers in the org.

myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

A brother had asked and was marrying a very young sister in the hall and when the wedding talk was giving the brother giving the talk read a scripture where it says "Let the stealer steal no more" He meant to read from another chapter and made a mistake. But this one was more appropriate.

Once a brother was giving a talk about cleanliness and created an illustration about a clean bathtub of water. Then he said if your wife gets into it while she is on her menstrual cycle would you drink the water afterward?

Heard that a elder once mentioned that man was so smart that he can send a spaceship to the moon and never hit a star.

Had a family in a hall with the last name Cummings. They were a fairly short family and after one prayer at the meeting the kids asked their mom "Why did he ask forgiveness for our "Short Cummings"?"

Online Watchtower publications archives?

by slimboyfat in

years ago i remember there being a number of sites with pretty extensive archives of watchtower publications online.

can anyone direct me to the best current site for this material?

in particular i am looking for a booklet from 1898 called "the bible vs. the theory of evolution".

notjustyet

Also archive.org might have some other scans of the WTBTS literature.
