  Proposed Apostate takeover campaign

  by zound in

  fictional apostate takeover campaign.

  stage #1.. what if in a town that had a particularly large amount of apostates and ex-jw's, over a period of a few months, they started going to a small congregation.

  either pretending they were bible studies or just returning jw's, they got good standing in the congregation, priveleges etc.

  When the WT branches are closed or selled .. how much cultural value for the witnesses gets lost too.
  So many efforts, hours, joy of happiest people invested are somehow wasted.
  in 100 years nobody will make sightseeing tours in New York Bethel, will there be brasses
  Cultural change.

  The Witnesses should finance such film productions to show them as dramas on their conventions. People would like to go to the conventions as much as to the cinemas and they would understand (hopefully and finally) that the whole bible is a dramatic tale, written words are a kind of art too. They would understand what they pay for. Of course with live orchestral music it would be in any case more impressive. What a dramatic epic event on a convention this would be.

  Jesus had to die? Really?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.

  couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.

  i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.

  Last Sunday Pope Francesco said:

  “Non c’è alcun limite alla misericordia divina offerta a tutti”.

  There is no limit for the divine mercy offered to all

  Creative ways of counting field service time

  by 4thgen in

  2. friends

  there was a sister in my congregation that signed up to aux pioneer one month to put in 60 hours.

  we couldn't figure out why she was never at the arrangements, but yet she said she got in her time early in the month.

  we found out later that we wrote a letter that took her an hour.

  2014 District Convention Releases

  by 4thgen in

  2. beliefs

  so what do you think will be the new releases this year?

  it seems from everything that has been happening that there will be a new and revised reasoning book to embrase all the new 'adjustments'.

  also, the proclaimers book has to revamped to take out all the things that honor russell or rutherford, after all they weren't annointed anyway.

  I think .... several booklets or at least one book will be release which can be entitled "Thy Kingdom Come"There are many effects of this coming of the kingdom to be studied, how the kingdom since 1914 worked,
  and what will be the future of this kingdom.

  A fine film with a drama about the missionaries which are doing a god job in the whole world.

  "We are loyal to your kingdom" could be the public talk for book release.

  A good explanation for the book of revelation is given in "Revelation" by the southamerican theologians Catherine and Justo Gonzales, published 1997.
  Perhaps anyone posesses an exemaplar or has access in a library?

  New NWT - what's the REAL reason?

  by wallsofjericho in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one thing i have learned over the years is there is a clear, distinct purpose to everything the wts does.

  everything is done to accomplish a defined purpose.. did they really print millions of new bibles just to be more accurate?

  after decades of toughting how much better the nwt was than any other bible?.

  Furthermore I am convinced that The "New World Translation Committee" are not qualified to publish a Bible translation.
  It is there hobby to copy, transcribe and comment. They simple benefit without any cost and fraglantly from the hard work
  that our catolic and protestant experts have made the last centuries solely to affront them or honor them with "several exegets" or "bible commentators have said". Thus indirectly agreein that JWs are not in that educated profession.

  A committee that stays anonyms is not professional. Nobody in the Bible exegetes profession in the last decades has ever known or seen
  an JW appearing on their conventions. They are only fraglantly copying our work and misusing it by adapting our discoveries to their needs.
  
  The guidlines to the NW-translation are a confession of failure, copying the preface of the old green book, some fotos and already known facts but nothing about translation than adaption to the english language of the 21 century.

  The Translation work is in reality a science on university level, there are instituts for old and new testament science and there are many professions to learn. I think of philology, orientalism, semitistic, archeology, methods of exegese, bibel sociology, hebraic studies,...

  Bibel researchers have already published modern translation.

  Photography and HDR

  by ILoveTTATT in

  as i have mentioned before, i love photography, and specially a technique called hdr.

  hdr stands for high dynamic range, and it means the ratio of the "lightness" of the lightest spot in the picture to the darkest.. .

  Thank your for sharing your experiences. My sony cybershot only takes JPG pictures but has a Intelligent Automatic, she takes
  some pictures and make one out of them. But no HDR cam.

  So at the moment I am trying to reproduce e.g.the Jill Greenberg effect or fake HDR effect with GiMP and Photoshop while
  following the tips in the youtube tutorials and so I am learning so many things about aperture, exposure, shadows and lights,
  color range, ... I should attend a professional seminar.
