  I think what you're asking, Blondie, is if you can have internet access apart from a wi-fi setup at a Kingdom Hall?
  
  As mentioned yeah. Your smartphone does. You can use your phone as a wi-fi hotspot so you can connect an iPad to it. That link you posted earlier is just a crappy app that has a list of open wifi locations. Not incredibly useful these days.

  Yes, if a Kingdom hall had an internet connection setup, the router could be programmed to only allow access to certain websites.

  I am not aware of any policies from the branch in regards to internet access at kingdom halls. I know that assembly halls and convention facilities do.

  PDF of Elder's letter

  with respect to the elimination or removal of "old" literature - are there any pdfs of any of these letters?.

  i read somewhere that directives have been issued over the years which contributes to the reason that older publications cannot be found in the kingdom halls.

  There's been direction to dump old stuff found in the literature counter. There's never been direction that I'm aware of to get rid of stuff in the library. It's usually the opposite. They're supposed to have old stuff in there too.

  Music you never noticed was ...

  i have friends in very cool jobs.

  my world interacts quite often with music stars, and i have interesting conversations.

  for instance, i was talking with the members of animal kingdom, and asked the lead singer about the lyrics i picked up while listening them perform for the group a few minutes earlier... i felt stupid because i hadn't realized the name of the song, and only had caught a few lyrics... he wrote of mephistopheles.

  simultaneously breathing life into the two biggest sci-fi franchises?.

  Actually Lucas is the one person who should stay away from them. The first Star Wars movie was absolutely horrible until his ex-wife stepped in and literally saved the movie. Empire Strikes Back is the best movie and its no coincidence it was the one he was least involved on.

  JJ knows action and scifi. He'll do fine with it.

  what is the earliest age you heard someone get Baptised?

  by enigma1863 in

  i was curious what is the youngest age any jw has been baptised.

  i thought it was hypocritical for jws to say wait for marriage because its such a big deal but "why wait to get baptised".

  i think my step sister was 11 years old.

  i was barely 10. I know that there's been younger than that. I think in some stuff from yearbooks I've seen 8 year olds.

  JEHOVAH NEEDS YOUR MONEY FOR 2014!!!!!!!!

  has anyone else recieved the letter from the gb about international conventions in 2014?

  according to the letter the missionarys/order of full time servants desperately need to get to the conventions in their homeland.

  so to accomplish this, jehovah needs 15 cents per publisher, per congregation for some months ( sorry i can't remember the exact length of time ).

  interesting meeting today.the do had the last talk and he mentioned a couple of things i have not heard before :.

  1) the new lighter magazines are designed in a way to attract people to our website .

  2)the ministry will change to incoprorate preacing in town centres and and with stands as in manhattan and certain brothers will be allocated to do this .so it is done now in a big scale ,organised.. 3)the qr codes at the back of the magazines are there for smart phone users to guide them directly to jw.org ,unlike bad old internet via laptops and pc's that you have to look for the website on google and sometimes end up in enemy websites that look like our website but are spreading lies about jw's (he said exactly that!

  Yeah it's pretty dumb they gotta beg for money, but this is also nothing new. They've always done this every few years to 'bring the missionaries' home. It's a pretty good gig though. The witnesses pay for your flight, hotel (nicest one available), per diem for food, funny money, plus whatever green handshakes you get from your family and friends you see at the convention.

  sammieswife, i did look at the 'references' at the end of that article and they are pretty much from the same terrible sites as the original one. You should care who printed the data. That site is just full of lies and misleading information that we've already covered here.

  I also am totally shocked that you actually name dropped Dr. Oz. That's the last name you should ever mention aside from Dr. Phil.

  I just love when jgnat comes in with info from WHO and the CDC and other peer-reviewed articles, everyone else just quotes from horrible unscientific sites, Dr. Oz, or 'their own FEELINGS' It's pretty hilarious to see all these nutjobs come crawling out of the woodwork.

  mamochan: Did you actually read the conclusion of that study, to say the least? That's actually NOT the conclusion they found. Also, I would suggest reading a bit of info on 'herd immunity.' As jgnat has said, it's a pretty huge deal. It's the reason why stuff like polio was all but eradicated until nutjobs in America and other countries decided that not vaccinating their kids was a good idea. That's a whole other can of worms though.
