A time-out sparkly bottle

by jgnat in

this is a great idea for any at-home parent with small children.

a home-made sparkle bottle the child can watch until it settles (and, hopefully, the child settles too).

thinking of faithful witness today.. http://mycrazyblessedlife.com/2011/10/03/relax-bottletime-out-timer/.

Great Idea!!

Create identical ones, place a "devil head" inside one and hand them that one on those especially difficult days.

3D printing questions.

by DATA-DOG in

what the heck are they?

should i learn more about them?

do you think there will be career opportunities?

notjustyet

Check out this site, you can create your own designs and then upload the file to this site and select a material, they 3D it for you and mail out.

If you make something that others can use, Iphone attachments, etc they will take orders and then send you some of that money.

WTS vs Faders????

by El_Guapo in

jw
friends

so an elder just dropped by my job, completely out of the blue.

recepitionist called me over and there he was.

he told about annual meerting and grey bible....etc.

notjustyet

I would think that some of the ones that have listened to ALL the recordings would have commented on that by now if it were true, that would be pretty significant.

He might have been referring to the Nov 17 articles about being prepared to do things that may not make sense, to a thinking human. SO the Jws are okay there.

The Real Aftermath of the AGM...

by raymond frantz in

i didn't go to the agm nor was i invited .i didn't go to the sunday meeting either.i received a text though from a long standing ministerial servant that echoes the sentiment in my congragation at least.he was present at the meeting.no elder was there and all parts ,watchtower and public talk were handled by ministerial servants.he was incensed that he was not invited allthough he's been a servant for many years and always volunteered at the assemblies etc.

the absense of all these elders was very noticable .most of the congragation was uninformed for the "dog & ponny show" (sorry agm) and the reason i think was that they were embarrased to admit that only they were going to go.but the most upsetting thing for many is that only the ones that went to the agm got the new bible ,the rest will have to wait till january when the first supply arrives at the congragation.

also many have found out that the instruction is that the new bible has to be used from the congragation straight away at the meetings and field service .imagine the embarrasment to be sitting next to the in crowd with their new flashy bible !.

If you are hearing a few cases of this outloud, there is plenty more that feel this way and are not voicing their concern.

This might be a good time to capitalize on this disharmony between the ones invited to the AGM and the ones that were not invited.

If some of you out there could only create a good video bringing out the issues that some ones the members in good standing were not invited to attend the AGM.

Any good angles you can think of?

JW App Stats

so how high will the jw app climb up the app store download charts on monday?.

will it be high enough to register on any third party lists of what's hot?.

can you imagine what the wts would make of it being on the front page of the app store?.

notjustyet

If you have some great comments but are unable to share them on the app store or the android version then place them here for

others to be able to use. So if you have some good short comments, then by all means let us know what they are.

If you download the app, can't you make a comment in the app store about what you think of the app? I would not suggest being dishonest, especially since being honest is all we need to be to make a point.

You KNOW the jws will be reading up on some of those comments from the users as they cannot deny themselves looking at anything commented on fromthe piblic about jws.

SO, with that in mind,

How about asking some questions in that area like,

"Does this app contain unbiased research of the WTBTS like you would find at jwfacts.com?"

"I'm not sure that this app has access to the Elders private book "Shepherding the Flock of God" 2010 Revision? I guess I will have to download the PDF from online sources"

"Does this app show,......."

What others can you think of that would be intriguing?

Beginning of Electronic Assemblies?

by Fading Begins in

do you think this could have been an experiment to see how smoothly these events can be processed, and what the reaction is from the rank and file?

it would sure save a lot of money if events like this could replace at least the one day circuit assemblies.

there has to be some recognition that the "flock" is becoming weary and they don't have the funds to be travelling to these events.

notjustyet

If this is the case, they will mention something about the money that the WTBTS is saving the Rank and file from hotel room, eating out etc could be offered

to the WWW via the contribution box at the Hall where the video is being shown.

All hail the Governing Body and God's Corporation

by mindnumbed in

an annual meeting is a legal requirement for a corporation.. the watchtower annual meeting (agm) is a legal event that has become the biggest spiritual event of the year, overshadowing what is supposed to be the most important event, the memorial of christ's death.. praise be to the governing buddies who sit on the throne of christ..

When the WTBTS offered to put up the entire "Patterson Complex" as collateral when they decided to appeal the Candice Conti verdict we could have had a

great meeting place to do just that. The attorneys for Candice decided that this would only slow down final payment to Candice if and when the settlement is finalized.

So instead of getting off the hook, the WTBTS has had to pay the, ( I beleive it is correct) 87,000 yearly bond premium to the insurance company to guarentee payment to Ms Conti.

All found on court records if you care to verify.

Standforpureworship,....How do you feel about the WTBTS offering up Patterson like that?

Attending the AGM,, think of doing this,...

by notjustyet in

if you have a smart phone where you can create a "hotspot" where others can log onto your device to gain wifi access via your 4g or lte connection.

then you might want to name your hotspot session on your device "jwfacts.com" for all to see.

they probably won't log on to your device, and if so, they could not see anything anyways, but it would give them a chance to see that url that has been so important in getting people out of this cult.. .

notjustyet

Just looked at my phone to see what the proces is, if it is an Iphone you will need to go into settings, general, about and then name, to rename your device which is as easy as typing jwfacts.com

Then go to settings , cellular and personal hotspot to turn it on. The create a password for that hotspot so that someone cant actually use your connection.
