  Bootstrap?

  10 years ago

  being a web developer, i can't help but notice the similarities between the forum ui and bootstrap.

  is it based off of bootstrap?

  i didn't see any of the tell-tale css or js files when i used my inspector..

  today is my first post on jwd, i was one of jehovahs witness for almost 50 years of my life, i was born into the religion.

  i was baptized at a young age and once i got married i was a very spiritual woman as they would call me.

  my husband and i served as full time pioneers, we traveled abroad and went to international conventions, did some special pioneer service in other states in the us.

  Wonderful story

  I have to chuckle when you wrote of how you wrapped Ray's books and kept them under lock. My husband did the same thing when he first ordered them. He actually created dust jackets complete with fake titles printed on the book covers. And I remember the first time that I ventured on this forum and how many times I kept turning around as if someone was behind me even though I was in my own home.

  I hope that you will share your watchtower experience further. After 50 years you must have much to tell us.

  Regards,

  Is Watchtower's stance against education only for North American witnesses

  i was reading on a european ex jw forum where some feel that watchtower's railing against higher education is primarily for north america issue.

  this is due that many in usa and canada leave home to leave on campus.

  it was mentioned that many young european jw attend universities and its not frowned on.. i found this odd because i heard what morris and losch said about education in italy.

  is the watchtower having problems with meetings for field service?

  are field service meetings being viewed as "less" important than other meetings?.

  Meetings for field service are not meetings. Who are they trying to kid. Most times very few people show up and then its a rehash of the magazine presentation that was usually already done at the mid week meeting. They try to spiritualize everything and anything.

  Why the Clean out of top Management

  by Poztate in

  it has been commented here that "soon" the do's will be history.

  the co level will be "retired" at age 70 and the latest development was that the cobe can not serve after age 80. it would seem that there is a "cull" of top management.

  in secular companys that would signal a radical change of directions ???.

  I hope that this trend of retiring DO.s and CO.s trickles down to the local congregation. It would sure be nice if they would allow senior jws the choice of not going in service anymore.  My heart goes out to all the older jws who feel obligated to put in their time month after month regardless of their ill-health and frail constitution.
