  What I Hate About Halloween....

  ....is that it has totally wiped away the distinct celebration of november 5th and bonfire night.

  fireworks and bonfires are still ubiquitous this time of year but it's just merged in with halloween which, whilst always being celebrated, was not as promoted and so overwhelming as it is now.. bring back the guy!.

  P.S. Sorry for those outside of the UK but this is a bit of parochial soap boxing.

  I know that there was a congregation disbanded in Portishead, near Bristol.

  Does anyone else know of any others that have been "let go" in the south of England recently?

  Yet another item about funds. The mixed messages here have never been so exposed. Time and time again we are told change is for anything but financial need yet the begging continues.

  CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

  during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

  upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

  If I was still an MS I would have asked what his group overseer thought, perhaps asked him how many times he had worked with him over the last 3 months, what he thought of the quality of his ministry and what first hand experience of his ministry was. Basically, anything that shows looking at a bit of paper is meaningless, emphasising that if love was at the heart of things then the elders would be looking at the big picture and not silly stats that can be made up.

  However, I gave up playing these silly games a couple of years ago and just glad not to have to do it anymore.

  Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

  by thedepressedsoul in

  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.

  Have you looked into Hacker's Keyboard for Android?

  Love that app.

  I think the idea of local web server via piratebox (or similar) is great but I do wonder how many people would have the cojones to sit in the sessions reading apostate material.

  There is more risk of being outed with a piratebox as well if you have hardware, although it can be run on a rooted phone which would arouse zero suspicion.

  I would love to see several SSIDs up at a CA or RC even if they did nothing. The statement of there being numerous dissenters in the midst of the assembly is simple and powerful in my book.
