  Tanzania News Update

  i wanted to share with you some feed back from this region.

  since you could say tanzania and other regions within africa are the last hard to reach places on the earth.

  it is where the www preaching work funds are directed, as being justified to get your donations.there are now no longer any foreigners at the branch within tanzania, they all were told to go.

  There are NO longer and Missionaries within Tanzania.
  

  What do the Brothers think, What are they saying?.

  They don't easily get to watch the jw. org videos here due to funds.
  

  They are just shaking their heads, They are Depressed and Down.

  They are asking what is the problem, Why is Jehovah deserting us. They are starting to look stupid and they don't like it.
  

  This is going to backfire hugely on the organization as it looks like they were suckered in.

  Looks as though the preaching work is coming to an end (if it hasn't already) and this GB may not be aware of it.

  No One on GB Anointed

  what if no one on the governing body is truly anointed?

  what if they just proclaim they are anointed and partake in order to gain authority, but they are not anointed?

  what will happen to them when they die?

  The classic aphorism "fake it till you make it" may well apply.
  

  Faking it can be very dangerous.

  Well it's a claim that can never be proven!
  

  So are they "anointed for heavenly rulership"? How can it be proven? Have any who have died ever sent a message or sign showing "hey! I made it!"?

  Of course not.

  No one will know for sure.

  The GB should seriously consider the possibility of not receiving a resurrection. Once they fall asleep in death, they will not rise up in heaven or earth; they are no more.

  Anyone on the Governing Body who proclaim to be of the anointed, yet they are not, will have to face the possibility of non-existence.

  Rick Tunon?

  by careful in

  i recently read alan feuerbacher's life story at https://ad1914.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/why-i-am-no-longer-a-jehovah.pdf, and something struck me.

  perhaps someone else here has addressed it before, but i think it's worth bringing up.

  on p. 16 he mentions a 10-hour meeting he had with a man studying and two ny jw heavyweights at the home of one, rick tunon.

  i don't follow the board nearly as closely as i did years ago and i've only seen scattered and seemingly contradictory threads on construction delays and bethel layoffs.. anyone care to briefly summarize the latest for those of us who haven't closely followed the various threads?

  it'd be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance..

  Everything but the big projects halted or downsized. Selling off RBC equipment. Bethelites and SP being sent home en masse. Printing of mags halted in India. Local congregations being consolidated, khs being sold. People are leaving just as fast as they are getting baptized. The GB dont like doing JWbroadcast. And documents are being shredded everywhere.

  Ha! That's it in a nut shell.

  using a roku may damage the color on tv sets.

  it appears to change the color phase to magenta.. has anyone else noticed this problem on their tvs while using a roku?

  apparently, the problem cannot be repaired.. http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=90113.

  Cappytan,

  This problem has occurred in a tube television using the component connections as well as a new SONY LCD/Plasma television using Roku 3.

  Be wary of using a Roku on television sets that have a picture tube. Older televisions that do not have HDMI connections require the use of component cables (red/yellow/white) in order to connect to Roku.

  The Roku appears to change the color to magenta and no adjusting of the color settings can fix the problem.

  It apparently is happening to some of the newer models as well.

  If someone knows of a fix for this problem, please post it.

  Thanks.
