Witness phone auto message

by FayeDunaway in

a friend just texted that she just now received a generic phone message from the witnesses to check out the 'best christian resource online at jw.(b)org!'.

so this is what they're doing now?

spam voicemail is going to make people like them better??

Elders, disfellowshipping, & baseball umpires

by sir82 in

ok bear with me for second on this one..... i was just reading the other day about "pitchf/x", a type of technology that can accurately track whether a pitch in baseball is a ball or a strike.. a couple of analysts went over 6 years of baseball data.. it turns out that umpires are wrong about balls & strikes about 14% of the time.

what they call a "ball" is really a "strike" about 13% of the time, and what they call a "strike" is really a "ball" about 15% of the time.

here is the article.. that's at the major league level.. umpires have to work their way up to the major leagues, just as players do.

the solution is robot umpires

and if you think Pitch F/X is awesome, check out Field F/X. It's data on EVERY player during EVERY play. It's terabytes of data per game. It's mind blowing.

Tax-exempt Status of Churches and the Gay Marriage Decision

it will be interesting to see what will happen with the "beloved" 501c3 tax exempt status which the churches hold so dearly onto.

the first-century christians met in homes.

they did not have exemption from taxes to the governments.

Wt lawyers are no doubt already figuring out what to do.

what do i mean well when there was a famine in israel david inquired of jehovah, jehovah told him that the gibeonites were not being treated right so until david fixed the problem of how they were being treated jehovahs blessing was withheld from the nation jehovah does not change until we start treating people right by not shunning them and anouncing sinners names from platform as no longer jw jehovah will not bless the efforts of those promoting unloveing behavior

Hey bro. See that thing on the bottom right hand side of your keyboard. It's called a period. Might want to look into it.

I haven't seen a name tag for a circuit assembly in YEARS. The only ones I see with them are attendants.

Yes I would definitely hang on to the James book. I was a JW way after it was published but when talking to older JW's they often said (in essence) that it was a pretty different book. Now we know why.

All the more reason to put a password or PIN lock on your phone and always beware when using public computers.
