Hitachi TV Review

by The Fall Guy in

friends

i have never reviewed a product before, but having purchased a hitachi 50 inch full hd lcd tv at the weekend, i thought i'd share my experience.

hitachi tv's are now made in turkey, and not by the hitachi company.

the uk's sole supplier is the argos company.

Totally wrong Darkspilver - check the wording on your website link and read what it actually says:

Can I return it if there’s nothing wrong with it?

Absolutely! We offer a 30 day returns guarantee on most items. (We’re nice like that.)

So if you need to bring it back, just bring it back. Then we’ll either refund the cash onto the original payment method or offer you an exchange. Easy.

You just need these 2 things:

your proof of purchase
the item should be unused, in its original packaging and in a resell-able condition. TV.'s are not included in their returns offer if it has been used.

They will not accept such an item back if it has been plugged in, switched on, and set up - unless it's faulty. They then class it as second-hand goods. Fact! If you're in the UK, ring 0345 1657538 and select Option 2 to hear how their weasel-words inform you that not all items are returnable.

Go and buy a TV from Argos, set it up, and then take it back because "you've changed your mind." It'll be interesting to hear your experience. Argos is not the Argos you think it is.

Annual WT plea for cash etc.

by The Fall Guy in

i don't know if this topic has ever been covered, but i heard that an elder in a european country rejected a j.w.

's claim that the org asks for stocks & shares in their version (english) of the wt each year.

the elder was appalled at the idea (stock market gambling etc.

I don't know if this topic has ever been covered, but I heard that an elder in a European country rejected a J.W.'s claim that the org asks for stocks & shares in their version (English) of the WT each year. The elder was appalled at the idea (stock market gambling etc.) and said that such a request had never appeared in his version of the WT.

Every November, the org issues this type of statement in the English version of the Watchtower: "Stocks and Bonds: Stocks and bonds may be donated to Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania as an outright gift or Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania may be named as a Transfer on Death beneficiary."

Can anyone confirm that this statement does not appear in WT's in some/all other European languages? I thought 8m JW's got the same info in the same WT's?

Hitachi TV's are now made in Turkey, and not by the Hitachi company. The UK's sole supplier is the Argos company. Alarm bells should have rung in my head when I walked into the store and saw the various makes of beautiful looking TV's on display - but not a Hitachi to be seen anywhere.

Having paid for the TV and declined the "exhortation" to pay extra for damage protection, I took the thing home and set it up. Picture quality and colours were not good, but the speaker quality was on a different level - it was dire! I've never heard such terrible audio on a TV in my life. ~~Rant~~ Review over.

If only I'd listened to my instincts - or even better - read this review before purchasing. As the review summary describes the "plus" aspects, "It's cheap and it's big." https://www.whathifi.com/hitachi/50hyt62u/review

JW Broadcasting: Russian Convention Travel Report w/Mark Sanderson

by pale.emperor in

https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201709_12_video.

a few things about this video:.

it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.

18 'plane tickets - "thanks to Jehovah's undeserved kindness." (oh, forgot to include - cell 'phone calls, unpaid workers at the HQ Travel desk, the internet, and smart 'phone capability to receive 'plane tickets) God really works in mysterious ways. Even many active J.W's are going to be cringing at this propaganda, and the photo of the eighteen grinning parasitic charlatans at the airport will just make them nauseous.

Critical times, hard to deal with!

i reckoned that a comment by muddy waters in his latest post deserved a separate consideration - especially for active/fading j.w.'s..

's who called on him, parroted out the org's message of doom from 2 timothy 3:1-5 to remind him how bad the world is and that it showed that we are living in the last days.. a former elder/p.o.

once told me that he hated it every time the wtbts falsely applied these verses to the 20-21st century.

The Fall Guy

Xanthipipe - I think that's what the aforementioned scriptures are saying.

JW website speaks with forked-tongue!

by The Fall Guy in

i put this under the "scandal" section because it is both a scandal how the wtbts can flaunt its evil hypocrisy and an even bigger scandal that the u.n. and governments in general turn a blind eye to the treatment inflicted on anyone who questions or challenges the org's teachings and practices.

"the right to change religions is supported by the universal declaration of human rights, which the united nations has called “the foundation of international human rights law.”......of course, these rights carry with them the obligation to respect the rights of others both to maintain their beliefs and to reject ideas that they disagree with.

pbrow - Everyone has a right and freedom to choose whether or not to speak to another individual/member of their family, but that right is a world away from being people being compelled and terrorised not to, by an organization's threats.

It's time governments dealt with such systemic human rights violations.

Xanthipipe - I'm expressing what the scriptures say. The corruption of the Christian congregation - not the world -was anticipated and described, as well as the outcome.

Hence the reason for Peter's words regarding the house of God being judged first. The "house of God" clearly indicates all those who claim to be Christian. (if it only means J.W. Christians, then their org is in big trouble!) Cross-reference 1 Peter 4:17 with 2 Thessalonians 2:4 - "He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god" as well as Revelation chapters 2 & 3. Verse 22 of chapter 2 reveals that Christ will inflict a great tribulation on those corrupting the Christian congregation - the exact same tribulation which is referred to in context soon after at Revelation 7:14. (the G.B.'s foretold G.T. is debunked)

A considerable amount of new forum members and lurking J.W.'s who haven't officially signed up will not have seen that discussion. It's good to repeat some previous posts in order to benefit such ones, as well as potential J.W. recruits. The JW web page is still prominent - let's do the same with our shaming them for it.
