  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.

  Talking with a young elder

  i had a discussion with an elder recently.

  it was interesting in a macabre sense.

  we were outside the kingdom hall on a nice sunny day recently.

  @bibleexaminer

  I get your reasoning and line of thinking but can you point me to where it says that James sent the men from Judea? According to the NWT, Acts 15:1 says:

  Now some men came down from Ju·deʹa and began to teach the brothers: “Unless you get circumcised according to the custom of Moses,+ you cannot be saved.”

  The Bearing Witness book commented on this:

  Whether these “certain men” had been Pharisees before converting to Christianity is not stated. At the very least, they appear to have been influenced by that Jewish sect’s legalistic thinking. Also, they may have wrongly claimed to speak for the apostles and older men in Jerusalem. (Acts 15:23, 24)

  The Acts 15:23,24 scripture in the NWT says:

  “The apostles and the elders, your brothers, to those brothers in Antioch,+ Syria, and Ci·liʹcia who are from the nations: Greetings! 24 Since we have heard that some went out from among us and caused you trouble with what they have said,+ trying to subvert you,* although we did not give them any instructions

  So, whilst I do think there is a spin on this, it's not clear that James sent an instruction from what I can see. It's an interesting line of reasoning I would like to have in my back pocket but I can't see anything that clearly says James sent them therefore there was a clear dispute between James and Paul. What else should I be looking at?

  EDIT - just to point out that I am using the obvious references that one would have to use if talking to a dub. They have to see it in black and white in the NWT and publications...

  I would like to think that the objective #1 is higher on the list. I'm personally not interested in having people running around, more on just creating something that catches attention and makes people think about going online later. I would have liked to have used jwfacts.com_thetruthaboutthetruth as it's a bit more serious sounding, but it does not fit. Perhaps the OP suggestion of just jwfacts.com is better. Perhaps it does not really make any real difference...

  As someone currently trapped in, this was a little bit of activism, a little nod towards some kind of rage against the machine. Maybe it's childish. Maybe it's pissing in the wind. What I do know is that buzz I got when I saw an obvious reaction was real. If there was one other person there who gains a bit of confidence knowing there is at least one other person around who is not mentally shackled, and perhaps takes the next step toward finding out more of TTATT then I would be over the moon.

  Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

  by Dunedain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there were always all types of speakers in the org.

  myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

  other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

  The drama with the "Hi I'm Randy" line in it is a very memorable one for me and a number of others from back in the day. They really didn't think about how it would sound in the UK as well as Oz!

  So a hotspot was put up today at the CA. jwfacts.com_thetruthaboutdatroof (character limits!)

  Most of the time it was closed to prevent too much data usage by third parties but there were at least 17 people on it when it was open for a while.

  There was a clear point where it became obvious that the top brass had become aware of it. Lots of scurrying around...

  Even if they did, so what? They can't search anyone. They can't look at devices. They can't prove anything.
