one thing that people have today that others in past didn't is the inter-net and the available information that can be derived from it.

the foundational history of the wts.

from the late 1800's throughout the 20th century is now quite easily obtainable for anyone with a computer and the inter-net.

been hearing this from various people from the cong that jw.org is a clear sign that god is directing the org.. i have various friends in the it dept not only in brooklyn but mexico and colombia, just a fact there is 5 to 6 it dept all over the world that give support to jworgie 24/7... so i have ask them how they came up with the website wich is not the best but not the worst by far.

all four of them told me the same story, there is a brother in florida that is profesor of some kind computer class and as project he made them work on the website so students of these college helped launch this site.. so more like jah backing it has more like satan backing...

during the many years of being a jw, i could never really bring myself to be exited about the co's visit.

i think i've mentioned before that from time to time my commute on the bqe takes me past the old factory buildings and the soon to be former headquarters building.

i was struck the other day with how shabby they've become.

I quit the Theocratic Ministry School
by My Name is of No Consequence in
1. jw
2. experiences
after almost 24 years in the school and doing it since i was nine years old, i officially resigned.

it has become increasingly difficult to prepare talks, especially with the new format for brothers.

i did not mind doing them; i actually put the time and effort into getting them out.
