I think for myself at least I'll keep it simple as suggested - a hotspot name but locked with a password. I have a feeling that this will actually catch on!

"After offering a prayer without the disfellowshipped one present"...
They really are treated as contagiously diseased individuals, aren't they!
I wonder which other religions or organisations are so abusive to ones they once claimed as brothers and sisters.

Feature request: threaded PM conversations.
by cappytan injust a feature request.
not necessary, however it's just a suggestion.. it'd be nice to have threaded conversations in the private message system so you can see what the person who replies to your message was replying to.. sometimes it's days between messages and you have to go back into your sent folder to find out what they're talking about for context.. just an idea..

Ooh, if we're making requests, a date filter on the search would be awesome!
There are so many threads and so much info on here now, searching for virtually anything brings 100's of results back from up to a decade ago.
To restrict this to the last month/6 months/year would be fantastic!
Thanks for your hard work Simon!

Suggestions for hotspot names:
Deut 18:20-22
Mt 7:15
1 Cor 7:23
Gal 2:18
Eph 4:14
2 Pe 2:1
1 Jo 4:1(Deuteronomy 18:20-22) “‘If any prophet presumptuously speaks a word in my name that I did not command him to speak or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. 21 However, you may say in your heart: “How will we know that Jehovah has not spoken the word?” 22 When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’
(Matthew 7:15) “Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves"
(1 Corinthians 7:23) You were bought with a price; stop becoming slaves of men.
(Galatians 2:18) If the very things that I once tore down I build up again, I demonstrate that I am a transgressor.
(Ephesians 4:14) So we should no longer be children, tossed about as by waves and carried here and there by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in deceptive schemes.
(2 Peter 2:1) However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you. These will quietly bring in destructive sects, and they will even disown the owner who bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves.
(1 John 4:1) Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired statement, but test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Intriguing - but Unsubstantiated!
by The Searcher inaccording to one source on a western european 'apostate' website, the org's plan is to abandon the name "jehovah's witnesses" in the future, and replace it with "worshippers of jehovah.".
http://www.bruderinfo-aktuell.de/index.php/fixnews/#comment-4313 .
the gist of the account appears to be a repeat of rutherford's re-branding and debunking of old predictions made by the previous shower of fakers.

Awesome Cappytan!
“Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?”
"well it used to, but they don't exist anymore" -

As mere worshipers and not witnesses, does this mean there's no longer any need for the ministry?
*** w06 4/1 p. 24 par. 13 ‘Go and Make Disciples, Baptizing Them’ ***
"When a person becomes one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he also assumes the responsibility to witness about his God."
What about the pride we should have in the name Jehovah's Witnesses?*** w13 3/15 p. 28 par. 15 Honor Jehovah’s Great Name ***
*** w80 2/1 p. 16 What Is Your Attitude Toward God’s Name? ***
"The year 1931 was particularly noteworthy, for in that year the International Bible Students, as God’s people were then called, adopted the Scriptural name Jehovah’s Witnesses."
"A great international, worldwide family proudly bear the heavenly Father’s name as Jehovah’s Witnesses." -

Classic example of what happens when you "obey any instruction we may receive whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

The earth is about 4.5 billion years old, so these organisms came just 400 million years later!
