this seemingly innocent question has been asked countless times, and is regarded as a gesture of courtesy and hospitability in many parts of the world, in both eastern and western culture.

Why I like Jehovah's Witnesses

by undercover witness in

i keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.

i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.

so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.

Try working at the traffic department of an RC where parking space is scarce. You'll see how nice Witnesses change when under a little stress. Under the polished surface, we're all humans, after all. No surprises.

"Jehovah ALWAYS had/used an organization". How would you reply?

by EdenOne in

in a recent meeting with elders, an argument was used to the effect that jehovah has always [= throughout history] used, or operated through, an organization; therefore, the wts must be that organization today, since god must be using one.

naturally, i know what arguments i've used to counter that argument.

but i'm interested in hearing yours.

Site Update: Jan 15, 2015

now there's no going back !.

i've just finished cleaning up and decommissioning the old server so for better or worse, we're stuck with the new version now - i hope it's at least no worse the the old site and hopefully getting better as i fix issues and make improvements and people get used to the changes.

apart from rss feeds i think all the features that the old site had are now available on the new one plus many extra ones.. the old server had faithfully served us for the last 3+ years and will now drift away, probably to be used by some other site.

I concur, on the iPad things don't look as neat and the ads become obtrusive sometimes. Still, it's perfectly useable.

The more I use the new site, the more intuitive and fluid it seems. Like most things, takes a bit getting used to a change, but this has gone fairly well.
