  What Could Hacker Do To The JW.Org Site?

  by frankiespeakin in

  i really don't know anything about what hackers do.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hacker_(computer_security).

  in the computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network.

  hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, challenge or enjoyment.

  personal records, lists of paedophile reports etc...

  None of that stuff will be anywhere near the JW.org website database - at the very least in some kind of firewalled intranet.

  Probably the easiest thing would be DNS poisoning to get it to redirect users to jwfacts or something. The org might catch on pretty quick though.

  Is their a new holocaust in the making ? Are jews being made the scapegoats again ?

  mass immigration in the world "seems" to have led to a rise in anti -semitism in the west.

  france now has more than six million muslims.. germany now has four million muslims.

  the netherlands has almost one million muslims .

  Such racism is not just against Jews but Muslims also.

  It is vital to make a distinction between race and ... religion

  so i heard this on another site just throwing it out there because there's been talk about it here.

  i'm sorry i can't answer any questions i'm just relaying the information.. the branch is considering replacing all circuit overseers with 3 brothers per circuit to oversee needs.

  24 congregations per circuit with 1 brother each assigned to 8 congregations each on a yearly rotation.

  They already essentially have this in the circuit here using so many temporary C.O.'s - the actual real current C.O. has never been to the congregation here - he's doing circuit training apparently...

  Not on JW.org : Question for Jehovah's Witnesses elders: If pants have Pagan origins, is DENIM demonized ?

  by Balaamsass2 in

  a yound sister was severely counciled by the elders for wearing a denim "jean skirt" to the hall last year.

  she left with tears in her eyes and never returned.. for the last 50 years denim jeans have been banned at the brooklyn bethel breakfast table.. i understand denim jeans are banned even by tourists visiting beth ell.

  billy explained the pants situation in past posts.. so my questions are: what other instances are there of denim bans by watchtower ?

  You might also recall the instructions to international convention delgates where again denim was banned - including for all social functions and day trips. The instructions were in another post on here.

  Convention Season-"Saving Good Seats" & Other Embarrassing Behavior

  by Darth Fader The Sequel in

  1. watchtower

  since it is the convention season (and i am not attending this year or ever again), and i have been seeing other posts about some of the goings on at the various ic's and rc's, i am reminded of some of the truly embarrassing behavior i have "witnessed" (pun intended) over my lifetime of being a jdub at the various conventions and assemblies.

  probably the most disillusioning experience at a convention that i have ever had was one year when i volunteered to be an attendant.

  all of the volunteers were asked to attend a special meeting a few months beforehand to get instructions for our duties as attendants.

  I'm in Scotland, InquiryMan. Maybe sitting in the car isn't as common in places where the climate is colder, but anyone from the UK will tell you about conventions at stadiums where people would just sit in their cars instead.

  so how about these ideas for jw.org merchandise?

  or as some tacky gifts as handed out at the international conventions?.
