i have been putting all my cds onto my new ipod.. i am only half way through this, and my hard disk is almost full, as itunes keeps the audio files on the computer.. every time i plug in my ipod, any tracks i have removed from my hard drive to make room for new music is deleted from the ipod.. i want to keep all the music on the ipod, and get rid of all the cds stored on my hard disk without them being removed form the ipod.. the instructions are so rudimentary i dont know what to do.

i am not prepared to buy yet another computer because of this.. help appreciated.. hb.

I too bought an external hardrive and moved my music files to it, I didn't have to re-rip them again.

Shunned by ex-jw's

by Joey Jo-Jo in

there seems to be a double standard among ex-jw's who believe and practice christianity.. i have lost 3 subscribers from my youtube channel all because of speaking my mind, it was not invasive or rude, but my last two videos appeared to have offended them.. so what happened?

as an atheist i raised some issues regarding the mind set of christianity that it borrows from jw's, in other words i was showing christian ex-jw's that they are behaving just like jw's.

the double standard is simple to grasp:.

I subscribed as well.

Are JW'S "hated" in all the world? Or...are they considered IRRELEVANT?

by Terry in

wathctower 90/1/1 p. 12 par.

8 not ashamed of the good news .

while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

donny

I haven't either Terry. After leaving the Society in September 1992, I was amazed how little the general public knows about JW's other than the blood issue and avoidance of holidays. I would have to vote for irrelevancy.

jw experience from conn. shootings

just found this on a post from a fb jw friend of mine:.

experiences following the connecticut shooting:.

from a local witness:.

It is amazing how these folks use any tragedy to have an excuse to pass out literature. It was just a few weeks ago that a minsterial servant in a congregation murdered a woman who attended the hall and how that was a great opportunity to unload a carton or two of "Bible Teach" books.

January 2013 warns parents to resist contact with df'd children again

by stuckinlimbo in

see page 15-16. full of "straw men" like:.

* do not blame yourself it is the child that jehovah blames - parents do not care whose fault it is they just want their child not to be killed by god.

* it is ok for parents to hope their df'd child returns - was anybody really asking if that was wrong?.

donny

Yeah they are putting up the fences again.

This past May when I went for my twice yearly visit to Dallas, I met up with my son (now an elder) for lunch as we always do but I could tell from his voice when he called me with where we were going to meet that there was something wrong.

When we met he, on the verge of tears, told me that he was going to have to follow Gods word as close as he could and that means that we would no longer be able to meet together when I visited. He basically gave me a "good-bye dad I love you, but I can't see you anymore" speech.

Needless to say I was quite disturbed at this development but there was no talking him out of the situation.

The my mom called me about two months ago and said that he and his wife will leave their jobs in December and travel to Los Angeles to train to be better ministers and after that they will go wherever the Watchtower Society sends them so they can "serve where the need is great."

This upset me even more as they were quitting good jobs (he is a mechanical engineer and she a teacher) to go on a quest to try to save the Watchtowers crumbling organization.

What is the latest New Light?

by kozmo in

please bear with me here.

it's been some time since i accessed the forum and 8 years since i really read any of the wts pubs or attended any meetings.

so, in a nutshell, if someone will indulge me, what's the latest twists the wts has come up with on their doctrines, teachings, etc?.

donny

The latest is LED technology if I am not mistaken. It's hard to believe that the florescent was so short lived.
