the new light (tm) is on jw.org.
not had time to digest it but it's looking pretty much whathas been divulged already.
looking forward to seeing the responses from the forum and the brothers and sisters now it's in the open.
Surely a landmark moment. 'New Light' via the website.
I suspect that they hope most of the rank and file miss this . . .
I wonder if they are actually going to put this in the Watchtower.
As usual, the HUGE implications of this will be lost to virtually all JWs.
I was actually wondering if was legal. Or would it fall foul of 'discriminating on religious grounds?'
I honestly don't know . . .
This was an advertising banner on my Facebook . . .
watchtower representatives (jehovahs christian witnesses) are once again attending the osce, organization for security and co-operation in europe,meeting in warsaw on september 24 - oct. 5, 2012. http://www.osce.org/hdim_2012to see jehovahs witnesses listed as a non-governmental organization, click on http://www.osce.org/hdim_2012?view=conference_documents&display=page_2&arg=92455.
please scroll down under non-governmental organization and click on administrative centre of jehovahs witnesses in russia as well as european association of jehovah's christian witnesses.
once you click on them, you will be brought to a page with a list of all of their presentations at the osce.
Presentations about what?
here is something tha thas just amazed me.
i had two witnesses at the door.
i invited them in for a few minutes because of the cold.
So why are you stunned?
part 3 (which is where the actual meeting begins) is finished.
it took my computer hours and hours to render and upload it!!
anyway, this is what i just posted on my youtube channel:.
Just a technical point about uploading.
If you try to upload footage directly it usually takes hours and hours. But if you upload the video into Windows Moviemaker or whatever the Apple equivalent is (you said you were using an iPhone) this produces a much smaller file which uploads a lot quicker, and I do mean hours and hours quicker
My favourite bit?
"recording devices are not allowed"
"Yes I understand that"
i`m sorry but i am having trouble digesting what is happening here , is it jw of origin ?
what`s it`s message ?
who is it targeted at ?
Watchtower just got to Youtube. It's been removed.
i dated someone earlier tonight and she looks pretty good, she invited me over to her home.
she has a very good salary(she has phd degree) but i do not understand why she chose to live in a white trash mobile home park.
i asked her how long she is going to live there, she said she just signed 2 year lease last month.
Can you let me have her number

Yep massive cultural differences here.
Acceptable gun culture (and knife culture - although I thought it was illegal to carry a knife in the US too) by normal responsible citizens is a totally foreign concept to us in the UK.
But I am not surprised at all that some carried a gun secretly as JWs seeing as it is legal and 'acceptable'
I am surprised, now that I think about it, that this is the first time I think we've seen this on the forum.
michelle rodriguez used to be a jehovah's witness.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/michelle_rodriguez.
i am just wondering if we can make a list of famous people that used to be jws, i.e.
How the heck is Van Morrison singing that wuth a straight face!!!
As if that ever happened at a Kingdom Hall
