Yeah thanks Fulltime, we already use phone as hotspot for the laptop while holidaying, but Telstra has poor service ATM at our residence. See what the future brings. I think you are on the money cos you can get some good deals on data which are probably as good or cheaper than keeping landline and running a smartphone at the same time.My iphone is funded by my workplace so I can't abuse it.

A question for Aussies about NBN and streaming / network dropout problems.
by smiddy3 inhas any fellow australians here had problems with the internet dropping out either with their computers or streaming devices on the tv`s etc.. since the nbn took over we have had nothing but trouble with interruption of services on the tv and computer.. i would say it drops out at least 10 times or more in any one day.. it`s a bloody pain in the ass.. a technician came out the other day and supposedly fixed the problem that they knew about by the way (why didn`t they do something about it then instead of waiting for me to make a complaint ?).
the technician went away saying he had fixed the problem ,but lo and behold within a couple of hours we still had the same problems that have continued over this weekend.. i`m just curious if any other australians are having similar problems as i have outlined..

Hi fellow Aussies, you guys are lucky, we live in a small semi rural community 80 ks from Perth and are still waiting for NBN. Apparently ours will be wireless and the locals are arguing about the location of the tower, can't wait for someone to call "Sacred Site" and the argument will go on longer. Still here I am on the internet talking to people I don't know. Cool eh? BTW Zeb we are happy with Westnet too.

Almost speechless, the inference from reading the scripture Matt 8:3 is that the money will be used in real charity work to physically help "brothers in need".
What a putrid steaming crock of shite that is! How low can they go? "Satan" may be the father of the lie but these crooks have made an art form out of deceit. Shameless!

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."I am so glad that I am mentally free enough now to be grateful for and understand the need for our service men and women. I live in the vicinity of an air base and just witnessed a fast and low fly by by some jets,in honour of the fallen. Awesome; thank you for your service.
Scared the Bjesus out of the dog LOL

No fun debating "imperfect" JWs
by Tantalon inwell that was no fun at all, just got a visit to invite me to the last supper memorial.
haven't had a call for a long long time.
i tried to engage them about following bible not watchtower, they just kept changing the subject as they have always done but this time every challenge was met with "we are not perfect,the slave is not perfect" and "we don't want to have a debate".

Hi HBF, I was born in, out for most of my adult life as my wife is a "worldly" woman, LOL. I was an apologist for a long time and still mentally hanging on by a toe nail til a few years ago I attended the funeral of a worldly Aunt with my aged parents. My Father's total insensitivity to and lack of comprehension about the whole grieving process and trying to vindicate the Society because in his mind said Aunt had died from a blood transfusion (not true) made me mad as hell. Took a deep dive into EXjw world, learned a hell of a lot, became a non-believer and lost all my silly fears and bad dreams. Never felt better.
Peace and happiness to you.

Smiddy, One was old man, 83, told me he was baptized at 15, the other was a woman 50ish I guess. I am in West Australia about 80ks out of Perth. I see them out in groups now and then, very rarely see any younguns in service.
After that long in he couldn't afford to look back and be objective about the changes, would probably be too much to cope with. I was pleasant enough with them, no good being full on with old folks.

Well that was no fun at all, just got a visit to invite me to the last supper memorial. Haven't had a call for a long long time. I tried to engage them about following Bible not Watchtower, they just kept changing the subject as they have always done but this time every challenge was met with "we are not perfect,the slave is not perfect" and "we don't want to have a debate". I tried Blood, Generations, ARC, UN ;....... " we are not perfect"
I thought they were supposed to examine every inspired utterance etc, like the Beroeans. Just couldn't gain any traction at all on any subject. I actually felt sorry for them.They are a very pale shadow of what they formerly were.

Tenacious; OP asked a simple question based on that poster's belief system, I gave a simple answer based on my belief system. Sorry if that offended you.
