If true, more jws will be turned into drones, becoming disenfranchised slaves, devoid of any originality. The ancients will appear to be smarter and smarter.

he said they will now all be put on the same as the regional conventions.

How to lock down the internet - As in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea)
by fulltimestudent inhow do you allow a localised and controlled use of an intranet, allowing people to access a controlled flow of information, but preventing them from accessing information from the external internet (world wide web)?.
not long ago, computer engineers at enno rey netzwerke in the german city of heidelberg were able to examine an ullim (nk brand name) tablet.
what they discovered is that all the (western) efforts to leak anti-regime information into nk, to take advantage of a perceived increase in computing in nk, are likely useless as the regime's scientists and engineers have been able to modify the hardware and software to virtually close off information not approved by the regime.

Voice from the past: To me, this is an amazing zing. The Nazis had issued the mandatory 'Volks -Empfaenger" a basic radio that could not receive foreign stations. But they had mobile units that could detect dedicated people who had superhet radios tuned to BBC. superhet units that had to be custom build, for some of which I was used as an innocent 10 year old to smuggle on the railroad to wealthy customers.

Genesis chapter one can make your life meaningful and joyful
by venus inliteral reading of genesis chapter one brings no benefit because you would see god as speaking to fishes and birds (genesis 1:22) which we know is not possible.
however, with “a king’s mind” if one looks for the implied truth behind its literary allusions it may bring immense benefit.
(proverb 25:2) for example:.

venus, try to read David Jay's posts, he has many "read between and above the lines" thoughts on Genesis here.
Careful with mirrors, they reverse images, some distort the distances, ---take care!

How smart were the ancients?
by Coded Logic ingrowing up as a jw, i always thought the ancients were scientific morons who knew next to nothing.
ashamedly, i used to run around citing isaiah 40:22 as proof of the bible's 'divine authorship' because it talked about "the circle of the earth".
as though this were somehow an unknowable before spaceflight.

Bible writers just were not among the smart ones, or the most avid readers of science news. like the authors of the first century scripts that offered the fake news of Satan showing Jesus "all the kingdoms of the earth from a really high mountain" on a clear day. Einstein predicted bending of light rays around globes much later.

And they'd believe it the instant they read it.
and prepare a pretentious comment to prove their ueber unity with whatever is dished out, "do it ,whether it is logical or not" as demanded ,but doctrines are fun to poke holes into, a laugh.

Comparing humans to sheep cheapens the concept of the status of creatures. whether they are anointed, other, black, lost, whatever. It is fishy, Why did the man not use carpenter illustrations instead? "if I had a hammer''"

A certain individual always slept at a certain time, meeting or not, but he had a explosive sneeze. remark about that: XYZ sleeps at the meeting, but he does not let anybody else.sleep for long.
sleeping at meetings has great benefits, assures a resurrection, it did for Eutychus!

sbf has a point: watching modern day masons with copper age tools try to dress and then erect a mini pyramid showed, that it would have taken more man hours to sharpen the tools than do the work. but they did it, not slaving either. Must have been the water canopy effect, the flood happened ~ at the same time.

implied truth behind literary allusions.
The planet Venus spins, but in the wrong direction. if its an allusion its an illusion. The yarn you are spinning might fit Venus, venus.
but to each his own. a good thread.

On reason they like to dump those Cities of refuge, maintained by the priestly Levites, is: that it would make the ones fleeing into it Israelites, and wt strictly maintains that all non 144 000 are not spiritual Israelites, never, god forbid, members of the" Israel of God" , even though one all of the sealed have to be members of the 12 tribes first.
