  on the back cover of july 15 watchtower magazine is an article entitled look at the artwork!

  it tells us that:.

  "the beautiful pictures and photographs that are painstakingly produced are there for a purpose.

  The illustration is very clear that there are only two crops growing together in the field, the anointed christians and the imitation christians.

  No Jehovah's Witnesses of the earthly class anywhere.

  Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  this may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.

  there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.

  'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.

  I would love a section just for download links to old watchtower literature and the BoE letters etc. or be able to search for them more easily.

  (Could be I am doing it wrong of course)

  Other than that I think this site is excellent and I come here every day without fail.

  I am so jealous. It is my favourite musical too.

  I have both anniversary DVDs and the BBC adaptation and the musical score is in my cd changer in my car.

  The opening scenes of the film version with Russell Crowe were filmed here in Portsmouth.

  Hope you are ok.

  I am a 4 year fader and for the first 3 years dreaded that knock on the door.

  I really feel for you and hope the harrassment stops soon.

  Facebook caught harvesting

  by Satanus in

  most popular android app caught harvesting users contacts: facebookby daniel eran dilger.

  facebook, the top-ranking free app in google play, has taken advantage of android's weak platform security to collect users' phone numbers as soon as the app is installed, highlighting core differences in apple's approach to protecting users' privacy and those of social-advertising firms like facebook and google.. .

  the news of facebook's latest "leak" was outed by symantec after it analyzed various android apps using its norton mobile insight tool designed to "discover malicious applications, privacy risks, and potentially intrusive behavior.".

  If it's very private or personal don't put it on the internet because at some point in the future it could come back and bite you.

  i've just had the official results on my pgce.

  i'm not posting here to boast, but to encourage any who may have abandoned education because of the pressure as a jw, and who may feel that it's too late to return and achieve such goals.

  in the 1980s i stopped halfway through my b.ed honours and accepted a dip.h.e.

  what scriptural support is there for commanding children to engage in the door to door work

  by soft+gentle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have just been going over the candace conti case and it struck me that one of the things i'd like to see come out of this case is that jehovahs witnesses stop involving children in the door to door work.

  so what would you say to them to make them re-think this issue..

  Anything in our life that we cannot do without pagan related?

  by DilemmaGF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since jws are so obsessed to disclose the pagan origin of almost everything that is giving joy, uniting family, healthy etc, i suggest we can list out all the other things that are pagan related or somehow somewhere practiced by pagans here.

  the purpose?

  let see how far we can go as pagan-free..

  I heard lipstick was originally only worn by prostitutes to indicate they gave "certain favours".

  As a "true Christian" would never do that even for her own husband what is she actually saying about herself by wearing it?
