  at the extj.com forum, a very serious scandal is being discussed regarding a potential misappropriation of funds by mexico's branch.. http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?24740-denuncia--quot-proyecto-fantasma-quot-salon-de-asambleas-de-guadalajara-o-robo-de-fondos.

  though the situation may not be quite uncommon, below you will find an overview:.

  a member of mexico's branch committee went to guadalajara to inform the brothers that a plot of land had been donated for the construction of an assembly hall.

  Each circuit has a "fondo guardado", whatever that means... Is there a term called "stored funds" in circuits in English-speaking countries?

  "Cada circuito podrá determinar si lo que donó se devolverá a su fondo guardado"

  I think this part has been mistranslated, unless I am wrong, this means that the circuits will be able to decide if they want the money to go back to THEIR accounts... OR make a donation to the Watchtower.

  Star Trails

  one of the things that i have only done once... but i would love to do again and again until i perfect the technique, is called star trails.. my camera is a canon 60d.

  there is a way to "hack" the canon dslr's so that they get some amazing functionalities, such as taking a picture just by clapping (really cool for when you want to take a picture and no one is able to push the button) and taking pictures at certain intervals.. you can read more about this "hacking" on .

  Prologos,

  See

  He took the pics in California.

  It seems like you can take pictures of the celestial equator even up north in Canada...

  I evidently took pictures of the celestial equator. That is why the stars on the top part of the pic seem to curve differently than the ones in the bottom part of the pic.

  Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  as you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.

  given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.

  i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

  Hi Rob,

  A girl I know in Spain just made me the admin for the largest (as far as I know) FB page in Spanish for exJW's. So I posed the question of who wanted to help. I have had quite a few responses!!

  The translating definitely needs to be coordinated and it already is, except that, like Henry Ford, I think that splitting a job up will make it faster. People willingly will translate a page, but 40 pages is just a drag... I am a very fast translator, I do about 1.5 pages per hour. On typical spare time for most people, an article could take months to translate. If 10 people work on it, articles could be finished a lot faster!!

  Hi everyone,

  It would be nice if we had an update. Given that the articles are generally very long (they average 20-30 pages), I think it would be better if someone coordinates the translation work and we all work one page at a time, instead of one person being assigned one article, one person being assigned a page. I would have to split the remaining articles into pages and then have a spreadsheet of the pages and the articles and who wishes to work on what.

  Hi prologos!! apparently there are north and south hemispheres for how the stars move... i live in Canada and I can assure you this picture was taken way north in the northern hemisphere. I believe that somehow I took the picture looking towards the celestial equator.

  gun rights advocates must be really disturbed today that the guy didn't just get an easily-available gun and get the job done right.. rub a dub.

  CAA I guess it depends where you went to school. My school was pretty tame and there was never any violence that I can recall... So for me, seeing something like this would have been very traumatic...
