For years we were told that the Great Tribulation could break out at any moment and when s--t hit the fan things would get bad for everyone including JWs. Did any of you hear about any definite plan of action were the Governing Body to realise that their Great Tribulation wet dream was actually taking place?

How long before they back track on the internet
by joe134cd ini was just thinking today.
how long will it be before the watchtower back tracks on its internet bashing, and finally allows it's publishers to set up internet sites.
how long before the wt joins up with the likes of face book /twitter.

I think relying on the internet will be a major factor in the Watchtower's undoing. It's a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation. Long before I searched for TTATT online I would Google information about Mormons whenever they came to my gate. Why? That is just the custom of the age in which we live. You see something you are unfamilar with and start looking for more information, and the experiences of others.
Want to try a new restaurant? Google it first!
Want to buy a new car? Google it first!
Want to try a new diet? Google it first!
Strangers show up at your door promoting their movement or product? Google it first!
The current norm is to 'shop around' for the most information possible (visit many sites and compare data).
If I knew nothing about the Witnesses, and one of them told me they had an Official Website I would visit it, and then begin to wonder:
Do they have an official Twitter? Youtube? Facebook? What are others saying about them on these sites? Do they have forums?
I'd fire up the trusty old Google and compare the hell out of results.

Internet at Bethel Monitored?
by jw07 ini was speaking to a group of uber-dubs over the weekend, and one of them was mentioning no-nonse policies at bethel, one of them being the monitoring of website visits.. he was saying that you had to 'freedom' to do certain things, like use the internet, but if you visited "the wrong websites" you would face consequences.
he mentioned the case of a brother who visited the "wrong website" a few days in and was immediately sent home.. can anyone shed ****new light**** on this?
:-).

Major flub in Slavery Watchtower Study Article
by scotoma indo you ever wonder if the watchtower writers actually read the context of their key scriptures?.
they seem intent on perpetuating the idea that the jewish law was divine - perfect.. paragraph two asks the question "what would prompt an israelite slave to forfeit his opportunity.
to be free?".

I live in a country of predominantly dark skinned people, which had a horrible history with slavery. There were sparse responses and some strange looks as the material was being read yesterday.

@Data-Dog: They can sell newspapers, or chop coconuts too. :-p
Or maybe they can apply to the cleaning companies in charge of window washing the few high rised buildings that we have.

No doubt these events will be followed up by articles and talks along the subject lines of:
"Have more faith! Jehovah will provide!"
"Soon, the end will come!"
"Do you have a waiting attitude?"
"Avoid critical speech!"
"Are you looking for treasures in this system of things, or treasures in heaven?"
"Are you keeping up with Jehovah's chariot?"
