first column: 2013 av.

pubs minus 2012 av.

@88jm - I think the 80/20 rule will see you through

when i looked at the languages WTS were boasting about printing, seemed that the first 20 languages covered over 75% of their publishers...

jw.org slipping down the search engine rankings?

by besty in

not sure if anybody else has noticed this but when i search for jehovah's witness i would expect jw.org to be the 1st result.

until now.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/50714155@n07/11824103644/.

seems they are down to 3rd position behind wikipedia and beliefnet..... this is great news if true - seems that their shiny new jw.org might not be quite seo'd enough....

I was using google.com and also Verbatim activated

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/1734130

turn on Verbatim search results - its one of the search tools options that allows you to see 'native' results without personalization

Okay - I want to explore other topics, outside of this one. I really have nothing else to contribute, since anything I comment on - seems to go into debate here.

somehow you managed to open your account at JWN in the middle of a fairly controversial topic - its a bit like barging into a private party and loudly joining the conversation - a lot of new people open with a thread about themselves and what brought them here...

anyways - it will be nice to get you know better on other threads :-) please keep posting

We laugh now at the "severe frost of -3" warnings we used to get in the UK

I think it was winter 1995 and it did touch -20C at Glasgow Airport - I was there that day and it was cold enough to make your ears painful if not covered by your hat :-)

but ye - Calgary - different league...

Millions die in Natural disasters - God is doing nothing. Do I adopt Anthropomorphism to him?

by KateWild in

i do not think god is a'morphic.

god is not human, so hence he does not possess human characteristics, to know god better and to understand him better i study science.

there has been a new discovery of strange signals picked up from black holes and distant supernovae suggest there's more to space-time than einstein believed.

i wasn't trying to win a debate kate - just doing what I can to help truth get to the surface - its all too easy on forums for truth to be the 1st casualty.
