  every wednesday the gb meet and discuss who the hell knows what.

  but i was wondering, is it just them or are the committee helpers and the laywers invited as well?

  that's gotta be around 20-25 people altogether.

  even atheists have prayed when in trouble.

  do you think that god listens to all prayers?".

  Watchtower IPs and Wikipedia

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had some free time and decided to look up some of the watchtower's ip addresses on wikipedia, see if maybe someone from bethel is editing jw articles or blood-related articles, similar to how scientology ip addresses kept editing scientology-related articles.

  the only ip addresses i could find that belong to the watchtower are in the 208.74.140.0 to 208.74.143.255 range.. well, nothing really showed.

  the edits are likely by some young guys who just felt like fixing stuff on wikipedia related to their interests, and none of the edits were related to jws.

  i noticed on the news part of jw.org, they mentioned this comment:.

  "there were power outages at the branch office facilities in patterson and wallkill, new york, and these facilities ran temporarily on generator power; however, the warwick facility is still operating on generator power.

  the storm also disrupted telecommunications services at these facilities.".

  Canada Zone Visit - April 2013

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just got word of a zone visit for canada in april 2013, think it was april 8 to 14. sounds like its just 2 members of the u.s. branch comittee, no gb.

  however, they plan on showing a talk on april 13/14 to all congregations in canada, not just a select few as has always been the case.. it'll be the same old stuff, but maybe this is why they the watchtower is purchasing all those projectors, like that "confidential" document mentions?

  to broadcast things like this in all congregations?.
