  Bokeh - The art of the blur

  a lot of times, when people look at pictures taken by a point-and-shoot vs an slr, they know something is different, but just can't pinpoint exactly what it is.... it is the shallower depth of field.... see.

  That is perfect! You might feel stress now, but you never know how this could help someone who might actuallly be paying attention. Practice it so you can talk from the heart and tell your wife to make sure she pays attention so she can give you some feedback. This way you can force her to listen and think. Good job bro!

  Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.

  given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.

  i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

  Things like this always made me question how could god allow men to find the solution? Something does not add up...

  2. experiences

  i'm sure most of you have read bits and pieces of my story throughout the last year being on this site.

  i've decided as a human being, and as an adult, i'm going to make the decision on whether to stay with the jw religion or leave it.

  i of course have many doubts about the organization which has lead me to do research.

  Brethren

  by manda63 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  got approached by a brethren the other day who started to engage me in conversation about christianity i thought at first that he was a gb witness but turned out not when i explained to him that i thought he was one he said no no not one of those that lie and decieve he represented a true religion that only those that follow will get ever lasting life etc they apparently stick to first century teachings and when i said followers of the governing body also claim this so he explained how they differ;.

  brethren - 1/ clergy dont lie about not having paid clergy as they actually dont have paid clergy the only exception being missionary`s who are sponsored.

  2/ neck ties-not worn as they are pagan.

  The Watchtower is under siege from inside and outside

  by suavojr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that is the reason the watchtower leaders are desperately trying to protect their indoctrinated supporters from being influenced by the critics.. it will get harder and harder to recruit in countries where the internet is easily accessible...the watchtower has no control over the public like it does the indoctrinated jws.

  ..any interested person can very easily google and learn the truth about the watchtower cult before a 'return visit' can be made.

  although most jws would be afraid to go into 'apostate ' sites, more and more are waking up to the truth about the watchtower , their interest triggered by different reasons such as the child abuse cover up, the constantly changing doctrines,the downsizing etc.

  There's a generational transformation going on as well. The younger ones are technology and information hungry and very comfortable researching everything. As time goes on and the older ones shuffle off their mortal coil, there will be fewer young ones filling the numbers.

  Very well said, they are having problems recruiting new quality people and the younger ones are not afraid of technology and are hungry for knowledge.

  In my congo we have JW's with professional careers such as:

  • VP's in the banking industry
  • Regional Managers in manufacturing
  • Managers in the technology industry
  • Nurses
  • Supervisors in many different industries

  All these JW's make healthy contributions, just to mention a few examples, just from 10 JW's we get almost $1,500 each month and we have 150 publishers. (I know this because I am the account servant) But all this money comes from smart people who are die hard JW's but have a career, how will the WT survive with poor quality people that can’t move things forward financially?

  The young ones are dropping like flies in my area and the adults brothers are not reaching out. The WT has a big problem in their hands and the leaders know it.
