  If the devices are linked to the same iCloud account and Safari data is being shared, it is a possibility as the search history, bookmarks, and even currently loaded pages are shared across devices.

  The articles would always say something 'the end MIGHT come in 1975.' Basically they would phrase it in a way that would give them wiggle room. However, if you talk to anyone who was a JW then, and they're honest with you, EVERYONE believed 1975 was the end. GB, Bethel 'heavyweights', CO's, and anyone else 'important' ALL preached it from the platform.

  we received a phone call from the summer convention rooming department representative.

  he requested that our complimentary room payment for our three day stay be paid at the rooming dept.

  Why has the watchtower never written a commentary on the Greek scriptures?

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they have writes hundreds of other repetitive books, but no bible commentary.

  is it because an actually commentary would destroy their doctrine and prevent them from being able to cherry pick scriptures?.

  a watcher: I'm curious about your congregations situation. As you noted, you got out of a mortgage. The GB asked that congregations paying off a loan donate at least what they were paying each month for the loan. Any idea on how long that should last? Could your elders decide next year to pay less, like just a few hundred bucks? I really wonder what would happen in that situation since I'm sure the GB would not be too happy about not getting that 100k back.

  The CO visit this week he says" In August..."

  by James Jackson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  up until 5 years ago, the co used to work up their own parts for specfic congregations in their circuits.

  everything is up to script, in other words, every co in the country are givings the same talks in the local congregations they visit.

  what got me to cringe is when he said at the meeting, trying to encourage everyone to pioneer this august; he said :" you know this october it will be 100 years since gods kingdom began ruling, remember what happen when joshua told the israelites to march around jericho on the seventh day, and what happened when they let out a great war cry?

  FYI regarding CO talks, here's the deal. They have a number of outlines from the branch that they can use, with the exception of the public talk. They have leeway in choosing which ones to use for a particular congregation. They are also able to tailor the talk to 'suit the needs of the cong.' It's been this way for at least 10 years. I'm honestly still surprised at this since most of the weird shit you hear is from a CO.

  i have heard from reliable source that this summer's conventions will feature video of various gb members as they speak and announce releases.

  the regional (as opposed to the international conventions) will have numerous video monitors all around.

  anyone else heard about this?.

  jw.borg login that actually does something

  by outinthemeadows in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are there any jwn'ers out there who can set up logins for jw.borg?

  i don't mean a normal login that collects personal information about its site users, but a proper login to all of the "secret tabs" specifically for elders etc.

  i know there's elders, bethellites etc on here...so i thought i'd ask and see if anyone could set one up for me to use.

  That would leave a paper trail so no, I am pretty sure no one is going to do that for you.
