New WT property for A/V production

by respectful_observer in

so the wts just bought yet another corporate building in upstate ny.

this time it's a building to house a/v production a few minutes from patterson.

why they just don't build what they need on property they already own, i don't know.. http://www.loopnet.com/listing/17829130/39-mt-ebo-road-south-brewster-ny/.

Drifting back from Orthodox to Rastafarian

by SonoftheTrinity in

i couldn't keep the orthodox vegan fasting for lent.

no dairy to bind the oxalates in all the soy products did a number on my stony kidneys.

so i'm reverting back to rastafari i guess.

IMPORTANT NEWS: ABC News' Nightline will air a segment about the Watchtower (JWs) Wednesday morning at 12:35 a.m. EST

by AndersonsInfo in

important news:.

here in the united states, on wednesday morning, march 11th at 12:35 a.m., est, barring any breaking news the day before, the program, nightline, will air as their lead story a 9-minute segment about the watchtower (jehovah's witnesses).

the program is 30 minutes long and this segment is only one part of the show.

Just an FYI to those that are like me and didn't get it. This airs TONIGHT. Yes, the title says Wednesday. However, Wednesday at 12:37 AM on the East Coast is the same as 11:37 PM on Tuesday night for the Central time zone.

It just clicked right now that this airs tonight. I was thinking it was airing Wednesday night.

For those of you who aren't dense like me, carry on.

Mormon view of JW.ORG

does anyone have any links to how the mormons (or ex mormons for that matter) view the changes that the wts has made over recent years, especially the growth of jw.org and characters like caleb & sophia?.

have they noticed?

do they see similarities?

cappytan

I'm sorry, but I have to say something. I'm as anti-JW as the next apostate.

However, whoever thinks that Mormon.org and JW.org look similar, either cosmetically or in the code, doesn't know what they're talking about.

All HTML code looks similar from one website to another if the persons writing the code know what they're doing.

@Roberto: They still call themselves Mormon here in the US. The main denomination's official name has been The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints since around 1838. But there are other denominations that are also considered Mormon, but they are of a different organization.

Embrace Judeo-Christian culture and values! Is this politician serious?

by Gnostic Bishop in

embrace judeo-christian culture and values!

is this politician serious?.

If Judeo Christian values make people better, why is the U.S. that brags about being a Christian nation, leading the free world in the numbers they incarcerate?

Too lazy to Google. Is their lead per capita, or just in total?

Injected Buddhist teachings into Watchtower Study today

by cappytan in

on the paragraph about meditation in today's study, i gave a comment about "meditating with a view towards mindfulness and awareness of the positive things in our lives.".

afterwards, about 8 people that i rarely talk to in the congregation came up and expressed how much they appreciated that point.. wanted to say, "thank the buddha.

" but didn't have the guts.

My JW MIL asked me to help her download a QR app to her iphone

by nonjwspouse in

she is entirely technically challenged, but of course, has been pushed into purchasing the newest ipad and newest iphone .. while attempting to see if she already had a qr app in the iphone ( she thought she might have but couldn't find it) i saw maybe 10 different jw apps on there!

this kind of stuff blows me away when such technologically challenged older people are now getting the latest and greatest ( much newer than anything i have) .

don't even really know how to use them properly or understand them very well sometimes.

insidetheKH: it is pretty awesome. Once the flock goes 100% digital, the society will be able to alter theocratic history at-will! No more pesky articles from yesteryear waking sheep up and creating apostates.

What a loving provision!
