The claims here that these incidents are just a minor consequence of the organizations modern operations are wrong. What happened to not using the world to the full? There is no excuse for an organization that condemns other religions so emphatically for political links and bloodshed to be involved with the UN or Rand. The comments made about Hispanic Witnesses are racist and very offensive.

THE MUSIC DILEMMA: TO LISTEN OR NOT TOO LISTEN?
by NoMoreHustle ini always thought this was a double standard amongst witnesses.
what exactly is acceptable to jw's when it comes to music?
an example is prince.

Prince still plays Darling Nikki live and various other songs which are pretty risque for a JW.

It's All About Tablets
by metatron inwell, that seems to be the latest hot thing amoung witnesses.
everybody buys a tablet.
even the poor families that eat carb heavy meals are gettin' em.. maybe they can't afford the latest apple product like the maxi/mini pad or whatever they're calling it these days so a trip to ebay or overstock.com fills the bill.. use it instead of a songbook.

The tablet mania doesn't really fit in with the counsel to keep the PC in a central public location in the home because of the temptation of interporn.

Are the doom day fanatics making prediction "Syria"
by jam inisaiah 17;1 the burden against damascus syria.
"behold damascus will cease from being a city.
will be a ruinous heap".. maybe that's why my son-in-law jw said the end is so.

The Syria situation is a bit of a problem for JW's. The Anglo-American world power are not in synch. What does this mean? Mummy hasn't told us.

Pre-cleaning the district convention venue
by hoser inthis year as with every previous year a letter was read on how we can honor jehovah by helping to clean the stadium where the district convention is held.. does the watchtower get a break on the rent if the dubs do a major cleaning of the stadium?
sounds like slave labour to me.. .
hoser.

Pre convention cleaning was great when I was young. You got to meet all the young sisters from elsewhere in their jeans etc. Girls got really dolled up to clean a filthy stadium.

British zone visit from David Splane - a report from the special meeting in Glasgow
by slimboyfat inwell i went to a "special meeting" in the armadillo today where a 2 & 1/2 hour programme was relayed from london at 1pm.
apparently the letters of invitation only went out a month or so ago and not all congregations were invited.
there were 2,900 of us from around scotland.

I was there. I thought that it was interesting that University education was condemed then we had an experience about a girl who brought 8 adults from her school into the org. Jehovah must hate people who work at Uni. He wont let any of the little sheep go there and engage in incidental witnessing or provide a good witness by their exemplary conduct etc. I thought Jehovah was impartial.
The whole talk was an attempt to make anyone who isnt doing exactly as they are told look like they lack faith. We got a few examples of unlikely things happening, eg the non qualified ex bethelite getting a good job the were told " Jehovah loves the word impossible". However the impossible doesn't happen for everyone and those that have to face that soon wake up.

How was it possible for Adam to name All the animals in one day?
by jam insome have argued, genesis 1:24 bring forth the living.
creature according to it,s kind.
so this will cut down on the.

The time it took Adam to name all the animals will equal the time between 1975 and armageddon. Adam was created then named the animals then he realized he was the only animal without a mate and God gave him Eve and the trouble started. If Adam had worked a bit faster we would all be sitting back with our pet lions by now.

Lot's of talk on the July Watchtower?
by noonehome inso i've heard lots of talk from within about the 'new light' in this watchtower...i'm yet to look at it in any detail.
i'm kind of surprised actually...i first heard about it here before it was even available but close to the time it did come out people started bringing it up - even our co.. some say things like "have you heard about this?
" or "big changes," or "allot of things they said we believed, i didn't realize,"(lots of that) or "brain-overload" or " too much information, but i've never felt more pumped up" or "it's soo exciting to see jehovah's spirit lead his organization..." or "it requires time to sink in, but it's a good feeling!

I've disscussed this WT with a few and they seem totally underwhelmed. It seems that your regular JW knows that the Org just makes it up as they go along but they dont really care as they just want to keep on until the end. These people are already allowing the GB to run their lives. This change is exciting to uberdubs as they can waffle on at length to the average dumb dub about it but your average JW isnt all that interested.

Mentally diseased translation in NWT.

he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
The Jerusalem Bible
4 is proud and has no understanding, but rather a weakness for questioning everything and arguing about words. All that can come of this is jealousy, contention, abuse and evil mistrust;
The Diaglott says " distracted about questions and verbal conntentions "
The mentally diseased version seems unique to NWT.
