QR codes: a way to stop APOSTATES !!!

by raymond frantz in

interesting meeting today.the do had the last talk and he mentioned a couple of things i have not heard before :.

1) the new lighter magazines are designed in a way to attract people to our website .

2)the ministry will change to incoprorate preacing in town centres and and with stands as in manhattan and certain brothers will be allocated to do this .so it is done now in a big scale ,organised.. 3)the qr codes at the back of the magazines are there for smart phone users to guide them directly to jw.org ,unlike bad old internet via laptops and pc's that you have to look for the website on google and sometimes end up in enemy websites that look like our website but are spreading lies about jw's (he said exactly that!

OK, help out an old guy. What is a QR code. I'm looking at a Feb 2013 16 page Awake and I don't see anything besides the usual 'jw.org'.

No one has asked the obvious question, Why are you asking if anyone has heard of Lorne Morton? Is there an issue?

Concerning the Sagan quote, (thanks clarity) I find it curious that Sagan even would know enough about the witnesses to make such a precise and accurate comment. He hit the nail on the head. Did he ever have a connection to the witnesses? family members or something?

This is the man who made it all happen!

by Terry in

william miller.. do you know how important this man has been to your life?

do you know your life would have been entirely different (without a doubt) had he not lived?.

read on!.

Interesting post!

I think it fair to say that Miller, despite what some of his biographers wrote, did not come up with his time prophecies entirely through his own study of the Bible using only the Concordance. Of course the basic ideas, day-for-a-year, etc had been appearing for centuries. I really would be interested in knowing exactly what books Miller would have had access to, or indeed what books were commonly found in NE America at that time.

On another note, a previous post mentioned the SDA books 'The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers'. I have looked at only one of these (there are 4 volumes in the series) and was really impressed with the detail and candid way the history of the beliefs was presented. I think they were written in the 40's or 50's?? and the author/editor's name was Froome or something like that.

some time ago i uploaded a video to youtube that was a medley of different young ones singing "listen obey and be blessed.

" as you can imagine, it's rather creepy.. here it is.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou802omcnvq.

my intention in making the video was twofold.

'Enter into his rest' is JW speak for entering the new order. I think it comes from the scripture of Jesus being the lord of the sabbath, kind of a throwback to the Russellite Millenial beliefs

'No Announcements' - Big Mistake!

by The Searcher in

we are only a few short months into the "no more announcements - let them read the notice board" at the meetings, and now the effects of that new directive are beginning to reveal themselves: no information being given out regarding someone's loss of a relative, no information about someone who is ill or been admitted to hospital, and definitely no information about families moving out of the area and going to other congregations!!.

however, announcements about "special" christmas day field service must be made!!.

the import of the apostle paul's words really seem to have gone over the "decision-makers'" heads - (galatians 6:10) really, then, as long as we have time favorable for it, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to [us] in the faith.. coupled with the removal of the weekly group book study, the detrimental consequences of eliminating fellow-feeling and closer contact with one another can only lead to one eventuality - alienating one another!.

I thought the change was that there is no scheduled 5 minutes for 'announcements' in the service meeting. Around here they still make a number of announcements at different times, but it is not on any schedule
