We had an elder that used one on stage a few years ago. Then a letter from the society was read that they shouldn't be used on stage but could be used in the audience. A year later the light got super bright and they were allowed to be used on stage! Such a fast moving crazy train :)

New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone
by Doubtfully Yours inwith last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.
damn it!!!
am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

We were told that the electronics are such a blessing because the WT can save so much money by not printing literature, and will have more money to build kingdumb halls. Because you know, they are building like crazy here in the states lol. -

One sister started a rumor that another sister didn't wear any underwear.
Haha, Always amazes me what these people let bother them. They really need to grow thicker skin, but i guess then they wouldn't have anything to gossip about.

The same Watchtower urges Witnesses to turn a brother or sister in to the elders if that one is committing serious sin.
I can't remember even one time where a witness had an issue with someone, where they went to the person before the elders. Even in personal experience i have had the elders tell me someone was offended by something or saw me do something, and i ask them to have the person come to me first about the matter, but the elders never do that.

Matthew 6:15 are Jesus' own words on how to deal with a sinner
15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
Never once does it mention to shun them. Jesus sat down with tax collectors.
Luke 6:37 are also Jesus' words and says not to judge
37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Yet we have a "judicial" committee to judge a person.
So the scripture they use from 1 corinthians is totally against what jesus says. Maybe the apostle Paul was an early apostate? Ha, just my $.02

No historical evidence for bronze age men living to 500yrs old?
by purrpurr inthe bible tells us that noah etc lived to 500yrs old as did many other characters who lived apparently to incredible years.. yet archaeological research tells us from looking at skeletons that have been dug up that the average lifespan was very short.
if a man got to the age of 50 they would have considered that quite an achievement.
when i was in i always wondered about this?

I was always told that the early men were closer to perfection so they lived longer and life spans consistently got shorter the farther from Adam they got. BS is what i say.
Because in another talk they would use a illustration of a bread pan with a dent in it as to why we inherited sin from Adam. Adam was the dented pan and every human after that had the same imperfect dent.
