1 hour 14 minute ph call from coordinator last night ?
by Chook in

2. experiences
i didn't recognise his number , cordial talk for 2 minutes then what can i say , the chook rose to the occasion.

i will relay main points but the order is not necessarily correct.

he wants to visit with an other elder ( i live in two states 2/3 of time in a new house in their territory, but they don't know address yet ).

Love the way you reason Chook. Im aware that Oz has VAST amounts of empty space to get from territory to territory. Are they really gonna travel that far just to get you?

My dad took this picture. One of the little bridesmaids in pink is the same age as me, they were all in my KH as a kid.

10:05 Symposium: Avoid Sowing to the Flesh
- Use Social Media Wisely
DEMONSTRATION (2 min.)
[Note: You may make minor adjustments to the script for naturalness. Participants may use their own names if
desired. Rehearse thoroughly so that the participants will be conversational, neither comical nor overly
dramatic. The Witness who offers counsel (Lauren) should avoid a self-righteous tone. Select participants
who are exemplary in their use of social media]
**[Two young adults named Lauren and Jennifer are discussing a blog that they both follow]**
Lauren: She covers a wide range of topics in her blog and always has a fresh view of things.
Jennifer: I follow that blog too, but a recent post really bothered me—it cast Jehovah’s Witnesses in a bad
light. A lot of the responses to the post were outright lies. I felt that I had to defend the truth.
Lauren: **[Surprised]** I didn’t see that post. What did you do?
Jennifer: I responded to the post and to several of the false statements.
Lauren: Oh.
Jennifer: **[Hesitates]** Uh, did I do something wrong?
Lauren: Well, is it possible that by responding to the comments, you could have been communicating with
apostates?
Jennifer: I never thought of that. But the responses made me angry. How should I have dealt with them?
Lauren: Well, when I see negative information on social media, I try to remember that Jesus said “wisdom is
proved righteous by its works,” so I choose not to get involved.
Jennifer: Oh, yeah. Instead of arguing with every lie spoken against him, Jesus let his works speak for
themselves. Thanks for the reminder.
Lauren: Here comes our bus.
**[Participants exit]**
LOL!

I think a more accurate scenario would have went like so:
The 2:30 part is about school. Demo about not sexting. Intro says, "**[A Witness teenager named Sarah and a non-Witness classmate named Olivia are standing and talking after school. The speaker explains that Sarah has just received a text with a picture from a boy at school. It is a provocative picture of him at the gym with his schlong out]**"

What is the watchtower going to do when

what is the watchtower going to do when the money runs out ??

My prediction is that when the old GB all die off they'll be replaced with ones that will bring in tithing. This will eventually become an internet dependent religion, sermons conducted via livestream, mags and books in PDF, ministry reduced to showing videos on an iPad.
OR
One of the GB or their helpers will go rogue and start his own splinter religion. He'll pull a scripture out of his ass and claim its a fulfillment of prophecy from Daniel or Revelation. The new guy will end the blood doctrine, many JWs who secretly disagree with the blood doctrine will flock to this Jehovah 2.0 religion. New light will be that the 1914 teaching was a test to mankind. 144,000 are all up there now. Only thing to do is to have as many kids as possible now so we're ready to populate the new world. Of course this mean polygamy being brought back.
Hey, it's a stretch, but do you think Charles Taze Russell would have envisioned the religion to turn out the way it has?

How do you find reddit
by joe134cd in
1. jw
2. experiences
just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.

for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.

i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

I find Reddit a pain to navigate. It feels like im using a 1990s version of the internet.
As regards to Lloyd Evans, i dont know much about him, i do enjoy his videos but will i shite spend £26.75 on his book. I'll wait until it's on eBay 2nd hand for a few quid. I mean it's not as if he's covering his losses or anything, it was funded with a "go fund me" page wasnt it?
