  What Could Hacker Do To The JW.Org Site?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. social
  2. current

  i really don't know anything about what hackers do.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hacker_(computer_security).

  in the computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network.

  hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, challenge or enjoyment.

  My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

  12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

  15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

  Where the need is greater: TTATT in Spanish

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems most of the us growth is in spanish-speaking territory, and of course, there is growth in the nations where spanish is the predominant language.

  most sites oriented around ttatt, are english-speaking.

  there seems then to be a great need for translators...for instance, imagine if there was a spanish version of www.jwfacts.com.. unfortunately, i dont speak this language.

  Visit from anointed

  by wezz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so tonight i get to be graced by the presence of one of the anointed.

  last time he visited to help me i told him that i have a problem with the 1914 date.

  now obviously every single aspect of this date is wrong, but i started off by asking how come they end it in 537 instead of 539, when the king of babylon obviously received his punishment in 539, as foretold by jeremiah.

  Online WT article: Religion - How Should It Be Financed?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in light of the recent letter read to congregations, it would be good to review the article they have on financing religion.

  while jehovah's witnesses do not practice tithing, they sure do have a way of getting that proverbial plate round the congregations.. for those not familiar with the recent letter to congregations in the us, here is a snippet... wts bills us jws $8.4 million for traveling overseers.

  being announced at service meetings this week at all us congregations:.

  Mexico/Malawi $$$$$?

  by OUTLAW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone who was a dub many years ago remembers people dying in malawi for the wbts.in malawi,dubs were encouraged not to have anything to do with the government and many were murdered..in mexico,it was profitable for wbts to encourage the people to do what the people in malawi were not allowed to.

  i have 2 questions: was there a monatary or political gain in it for wbts?.if those people didn`t die for profit of some sort for wbts,what did they die for?.for one,i know dead dubs sell magazines,the profits from that probably helped wbts acquire property in mexico...outlaw

  The Retractable Dangling Carrot

  by TMS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some scattered thoughts about the granting or denial of privileges of service as a control mechanism:.

  this method of persuasion involving reward or punishment is so deeply ingrained in watchtower function, it is second nature.

  although sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant, everyone from new bible study to traveling overseer is subconsciously aware of the possible limiting of his official opportunities to serve god and his brothers.. .
