after learning ttatt attending meetings is real pain for me but have no option other then participate.
since many jw use mobile devices during meetings i use them too.
but instead of wt or bible study book i read apostate books like raymond franz books ,captive of concept etc.it helps a lot to survive 2 hours of boredom.
"I am flabbergasted that the Society hasn't made yet another rule about not using electronics inside the Kingdom Hall."
Both the Watchtower and Awake! magazines are available as epub and pdf documents.
I am going to venture to guess that many JWs follow the Watchtower study using their iPad or tablet computer.
bbc news - us judge changes baby's name from messiah to martin.
what right does this judge have to change a babies name?
jerk.
They should have chosen a normal sounding name for the child.
For example, Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet, and Diva Muffin would be some good choices.
as most of us know, the society is spending 10's of millions of dollars on a giant, state of the art, secluded bunker country club headquarters in very remote, isolated warwick ny.. the question that "some" have is, why?
if armageddon is coming "very soon", why go to all that time & effort & expense?
why have thousands of jws dedicating their time to this massive effort instead of the "lifesaving ministry"?.
Instead, under Jehovah’s direction the building was later transformed into a dormitory and school, called the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead.
"Under Jehovah's Direction"??!!!!
How was the change from a "place of refuge" to the "Gilead School" done "under Jehovah's Direction"?
Did someone at Bethel receive "instructions" directly from Jehovah, such as when Moses received directions from God in the Bible?
Very presumptuous of The Watchtower claiming that something was done under "Jehovah's Direction", especially as there is no way to prove that statement!

a giant, state of the art, secluded bunker country club headquarters in very remote, isolated Warwick NY.
Does anyone have the address for this new facility in Warwick, NY?
I would like to see an aerial view of the location on Google Maps.
can anyone point me in the right direction, a good descriptive list of gods anger, genocide, vengeance and general things that we would view as bad and the scriptures next to it to show where these things are in the bible?.
Just checked Amazon's webpage for the "Drunk with Blood" book.
The lowest price displayed for the book is $577.58!!!!
this is a report in spanish conerning david splane giving a prayer at a convention.. perhaps someone can translate it better, but google translate gave the following:.
during prayer, should no longer be necessary to bow his head in a mass meeting, as was splane throughout the prayer, head up, down, left and right looking at all tiers, not hiding in the least.. so splane is looking all around at the sudience while giving a prayer?!!!.
can someone confirm that is what the spanish text says?.
Thank you Calebs Airplane for making clear what was written in Spanish.
The title of this thread should now be updated to:
David Splane does not bow head during prayers!
If anyone has the opportunity to observe Splane during a prayer, please do so and tell us what he does.
"All authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God."
Does Paul prove this statement, or does he simply state it?

Amazing if it is so.

Se me olvidó añadir unas curiosidades más, sobre todo para los testigos que nos leen.
Durante la oración, ya no deber ser necesario agachar la cabeza en una reunión multitudinaria, ya que Splane estuvo durante toda la oración, cabeza arriba, abajo, a izquierda y derecha mirando a todas las gradas, sin disimular en lo más mínimo.
Y lo de no agarrarse durante la oración que decía hace poco la Atalaya, también se ha debido eliminar. David y Lynda estaban muy, muy agarraditos.
¿Será otra nueva luz, o asunto de conciencia, o seguiremos el dicho "haz lo que yo diga, pero no lo que yo haga?

Brother Splane spoke on the subject – ‘Should You Wear Saul’s Garment?’
...
"Bro and Sis Splane were once assigned to a fanatically Catholic town. Each day they had to cross a long bridge over a river at the same time that about 200 school children passed over in the opposite direction. So, they decided to look each one of the people squarely in the eye. What happened? Nothing, except the people were the first to look away!
We must force ourselves to stand proud not look like a whipped puppy."

somebody with more patience than me can copy and paste the images if they like.. facinating look at how bellicose the jw's were under rutherford.. .
"They hate all religions"
At that time, Jehovah's Witnesses did not consider themselves as a relgion.
This Saturday Evening Post article by Stanley High is one of the best articles to ever be written about the JWs.
How many insightfull articles about the Jehovah's Witnesses and The Watchtower have been published in the 70 years since this one was?
Not many.
I wonder why?
