Crap App

by outinthemeadows in

i downloaded that app (the official thingy) that they call a "library".

i'm sorry but where i come from a library contains loads of books.

this has a few translations of the bible?

I agree it's not quite a library, but I do like the format. I love being able to quickly compare the NWT against other Bibles. I used to use e-Sword for this, but the NWT was not easily available for it as a plugin. The JW Library is going to be more useful to us than the WTBTS intended and may have plenty of unintended consequenses. Any app that

They will be adding more to it so that it is more of a Library. I imagine this will eventually replace our Wt Library CD since this will give them more control over deleting old light. But honestly, I probably won't use the new publications they add anyways. The older books are the real gems, but you'll never find them on any Wt website or application. It'd be too incriminating.

On a side note, I got this working on my Kindle the other night, so I'm happy about that.

Steve Hassan's books

by tornapart in

at the moment i can't get these books, they are not available as ebooks and i can't risk having them in the house.

but i have heard so much about them and how helpful they are that i am just wondering if any who have read them can give some insights they have gained from them that would be useful to know.

thanks in advance.

I'm looking forward to seeing this in ebook format one day (hopefully early 2014 is right). I also notified Amazon that I want it in PDF format. I encourage anyone else that can spare a few minutes of time to go to Amazon and request the same so this book can be made more accessible to those of us learning, fading, or leaving the WTBTS discreetly. Maybe this will spur them on to releasing it sooner.

Here is the link to the book.

If you scroll down to the "Product Details" there is a link at the right side of the screen that says "Notify The Publisher! I'd like to read this book on Kindle." Click this link to submit your request.

JW Match Dating

have you seen it?

there are some fine brothers and sisters just waiting for a hookup!

check it out..

I remember seeing a hot Australian sister on there. I said this has to be too good to be true. So I never signed up. This site is just like all the other dating sites, imho, although I admit I never have tried it. I met my wife the old fashioned way..............a friend of a friend of a cousin of a friend.

WATCHTOWER HOAXES on the spectrum of mendacity

by Terry in

jw

the word hoax is thought to be derived from the magician's utterance of silly "hocus-pocus" so-called magic incantation.. this is jibberish, of course--a fake latin-sounding phrase mimmicking the priest's words in catholic mass changing wine into the "actual" blood of christ.. yeah.. only a conscious attempt to deceive separates a hoax from an otherwise mistake or urban myth.. according to folklorist jan brunvand, a 'hoax tends to indicate "relatively complex and large-scale fabrications" and includes deceptions that go beyond the merely playful and "cause material loss or harm to the victim".brunvand, jan h. (1998).

Terry,
Where did you source your quote at? I've been trying to find a PDF of of the 1926 Golden Age's, but it has been somewhat elusive. You don't happen to have a copy do you? Thanks.

why am i still single?

by redpilllizard81 in

i have the hardest time meeting singles in the "world".

currently inactive.

but my dating situation is sort of in limbo and its driving me mad..

pronomono

Go to places where people go to chill and make friends. I used to be incredibly shy, didn't talk to anyone. But now that I'm breaking away from the "truth", I'm a completely different person. I have a co-worker that tells me that there aren't any strangers to me, just people I haven't made friends with yet. I've learned a few drinks loosen me up and then I'm free to talk to anyone. After the initial ice is broken, conversations flow easier.

Try joining organizations or clubs where people share your interests. We come from an organization minded background, so use that background in making yourself feel comfortable around others with like interests. Bowling club? Pool club? If you live in or around a city, you can find a lot to get into. Just meet people. Aim for friendships. The rest will come later.

If I knew this before I got married and learned TTATT, I'd be in a completely different situation now.

The Family Worship Night is a blessing for me (spreads TTATT)

so because of a new job that i got, i have to stay in my parents' city for 6 months.

thereafter i can move.. so i am back at my parent's house.

my dad is fully awakened now, it will just take time for him to accept the invalidity of the blood doctrine and the disfellowshipping doctrine, or anyone for that matter.. my mom was delighted when i said i wanted to join them in the family worship night.

Great post. Keep these coming as you have family worship nights. I've been holding off on family worship with my wife because I don't quite know how to introduce TTATT in subtle ways to get her thinking. Your post is giving me some good ideas.

Disneyland's: The Haunted Mansion. Is it for True Christians or is it full of Demonzzss and JW's should stay away?

bro "elder" took his family to disneyland.

the first day, he did not want them to go on this "demonic" ride.

Disney's Haunted House is okay, but Harry Potter rides at Universal Studios are an abomination. I know so many JWs who turn their noses up at Universal Studios because of the Harry Potter rides. It's ridiculous.

We shall dress with modesty (1Tim2:9), why dress like rich lawyers or wealthy financiers?

by Mr Fool in

in my point of view, modest clothing is simple and humble.

so why are jw-men dressed like they own a big company or are challangers to the president post?

.

pronomono

I've started dressing very modest at the meetings. No more fancy matching suits. No more dress pants. Just some comfy cotton twill, button up cotton shirt, and a tie.
