Conventions on FM...

by AlphaOmega in

jw
friends

i was wondering whether anyone here is within the fm transmission distance of the conventions.

if so, would you be prepared to record and host the talks ?.

long shot, but you never know ?.

AlphaOmega

We can upload them to filesend or similar. That'd be great.

Not for pleasure, but to hear them "filling in the gaps" and saying things that they would never put in print.

Not all the DC sites are broadcast, but it'd good to give it a go.

This site: http://www.filesend.net/ allows free uploads and downloads and no registration is required. If you have any problems, post or send a PM.

Not all DC locations are broadcasting, but it usually they make an announcement about the frequency at the start of the first day.

does it still happen ?

how about in the uk ?

what happens, banners, signs, tracts ?.

AlphaOmega

I made it a point to introduce myself to them and give them some encouragement.

I am thinking of doing the same. What was the reaction from them and the JWs ?

Hey, WOW, I am a Senior Member now

i have been aware of this site for a long time and often visit as it is a hive of excellent info but don't post myself.. anyway, read with interest the conventions that have been running in the us.

i am planning a christian outreach to a jw convention here in the uk and was wondering if anyone can let me know whether the talk on the saturday has the parts in it warning against apostates etc.

AlphaOmega

if so, where and if not, can your direct me or post something...thanks!

AlphaOmega

Thanks for all the copyright info.

I can't find it as renewed on those links either so...

In good faith : http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=8b543b97e9aa6073cabdde41d30e81c8

I think that Research Applications also offer this, so it must be PD.

The link can be taken down if the copyright holder asks.

You can find a good breakdown of the list of talks here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/134994/1.ashx

From what I've heard, Friday is pretty "normal" until the last talk; Saturday is supposed to be the "apotabash" - which fits with the mention of "the devil".

Saturday in detail is here http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/135146/1.ashx

Where are you planning to go ?

Dr. Who question for British posters

by Insomniac in

in the episode i just watched, the doctor was fiddling with rose's cellphone and used the term "jiggery-pokery.

" i'm pretty sure that's what he said.

what does that term mean?

AlphaOmega

Was that the word ?
No. In one of the episodes with Tom Baker, someone asks the Doctor how the tardis is bigger on the inside than on the outside. He utters some unusual word and the fellow asks what it means. The doctor then says it means the Tardis is bigger on the inside than the outside. It's a witty little exchange that only Mr. Baker could accomplish so skillfully.

... and there was me thinking that I was being clever. emphysema > flattening of the air sacs in the lungs which allow them to have a capacity greater that the expected volume. Maybe I read too much into things. I'm off to have a lie down now

It was no problem for me to say I came from another world and could go back and forth in time in my emphysemic old Tardis which was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. Problem? For me who believed in Guardian Angels and was convinced that pigs were possessed by devils after their New Testament encounter with God's son? It was easy and I loved it.

Yep,

It's a term that people use to hide wizzardry - hiding the "how" of something complicated.
