  Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  years ago i remember there being a number of sites with pretty extensive archives of watchtower publications online.

  can anyone direct me to the best current site for this material?

  in particular i am looking for a booklet from 1898 called "the bible vs. the theory of evolution".

  Construction Halts & other cutbacks - Here's what I think happened

  to get to the point straight away i think the crane accident that occurred at warwick was a significant catalyst that has caused the org.

  to change its plans suddenly.. list of assumptions, not all of them are validated.

  - there was a serious crane accident that occurred at warwick approx.

  I heard that in past projects (don't know about Warwick) the heavy steel work was done by outside contractors with union labor. Then the internal work was all done by volunteer workers. I think it likely that there is a mixture of outside contractors and JW volunteers (many amateurs). Not a good combination.

  It's hard to believe, but my mom came into the truth in early '60's by reading the older literature (which meant the 30's and 40's literature). Looking at it now, the material is so bizarre. I guess in a different time and place it must have made sense and appealed to some.

  LOL, the whole idea is hilarious.

  Here is another idea. Since the assembly programs are set in advance, a 'counterpoint' commentary for each talk could be streamed live as each talk is given, delivered right to the ipad of anyone curious enough to follow along.

  GB "OUR KINGS"

  by wannaexit in

  i was at the one day assembly and the bethel speaker in talking about governing body member klein -referred to him as our king.

  .

  wonder if governing body members will be so presumptuous to expect this title from the rank and file?.

  Congo DR Bethel, word is that 150 (out of a total of about 850) will be sent home. Not sure, but the 150 may include some at RTOs.

  I used to believe those dates, how ridiculous.
