  San Diego has perfect weather year round. I wouldn't mind sitting outside all day there. All the other outdoor venues can get fucked though.

  That's fairly common etiquette for an outdoor venue like that. I go to sporting events all the time and they don't really like it when you whip out your umbrella because it gets in the way.

  Recordings of conventions and co talks

  by GoUnion in

  1. watchtower

  are the parts on conventions and the talks given at congregations at co's still under the orders not to be recorded by the members?

  i seem to remember an announcement like this when i was in, but i paid very little mind to it.

  after learning about some of the more outspoken talks given by co's over the years i was curious what their official reasonings were for these bans.. it seems clear to me though that the ban is simply to give themselves some sort of plausible deniabiltiy and allow the co's to go on their little rants.

  They can't stop you from recording meetings and assemblies. They always give that disclaimer how they are for personal use. They don't want the tapes circulating because of the crazy shit CO's, DO's, and Bethel speakers say.

  OneEyedJoe: Never heard of that. Pretty sure that's not in the TOS at all for the WTLIB.

  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.

  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.
