  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.

  I take a T-Mobile hotspot to ca & da, and JwFacts is what I always name it. I set it to open, once, and it had 9 others on it most of the dad!

  I named it ApostatesAreHere, once. And I could see people looking around, even a couple elder types were really looking around! They may not have been looking for my hotspot, but I think they were!

  yesterday jw knocked on my door, i was sitting in the office with the window right next to it, they couldn't see me & i decided not to answer.

  they stood there for what seemed ages & as i watched something hit me.

  they were here only because they were on the territory.

  The last city I lived in, had a police woman, everyone called, peaches. You could smell her a mile away. I was at the movie one night, and started gasping for air, as the peaches smell hit me. As I was stumbling for the rear exit, I collapsed in the doorway and crawled out into the hallway. A couple of guys helped me get outside to fresh air.

  Leaving the 40th floor of an office building, 2 floors down, a few women got in, about 30 seconds later, I was in the floor gasping. They thought I was having a heart attack! Totally blacked out that time! Woke up to EMT's, with a breathingtube down my throat!

  My Xmonster, got this stuff called "Xclumation", In busy Atlanta rush hour traffic, she pulls it out and starts spraying, I managed to get off the road, and out of the car before blacking out!

  Some purfum's just make me sick, or feel like my lungs are on fire. And guve me headaches.

  White diamonds should be marked as a chemical wepon!

  Thankfully only about a third of purfum's cause me any problems. But just in case, I start getting away from any of it, if I smell it!

  WoW!!!!! In the last go around, about 25 or so long time friends of mine were sent off into the wold blue yonder! most went out the door as SP's, a few went to other countries. most have left the SP ranks, and found their way back home, to entry level job's, and living with family, or friends.

  At this rate, I won't know anyone left at Bethell, before long!!!

  I have had purfum troubles for years, and hardly ever said anything about it. There are a very few purfum's, that can put me in the floor, gasping for air in seconds. Some of the worst ones I can't even smell until it's too late. If I am at the kh, I set close to the door, so as to get out quickly. And I have done that a number of times.

  The ones that really get me, will ware a paper dust mask, then set right next to sister takes a bath in purfum, and be just fine!

  So Microsoft made a laptop - Surface Pro 4 / Surface Book

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  microsoft definitely seem to be undergoing a revival and are coming out with some cool tech.

  it's good to see them turning things around and keeping apple honest.. the holo-lens looks fantastic - much better than full vr headsets by providing augmented reality instead (imagine 3d minecraft projected on a table or aliens running round your living room to shoot at).. more practical though is the update to the surface tablet and the surprise release, the surface book laptop / tablet.

  yeah, it's confusing - one is a tablet that becomes a laptop and the other is a laptop that becomes a tablet.. i promised our eldest a laptop for his high-school graduation and to use now he's starting university and took him to the apple store a few months ago but the macbooks i was leaning towards weren't available at the time.

  I have been a diehard MS fan for a very long time! I used to go to MS events all the time. The one this week has to be their best one of all times! They used to get so into the heavy technical info, that most people at the events, were so bored. I remember setting watching the bored press types, and just normal people, thing they really should do two part events! One just for the true techies, who want to know all the specific, of how, and why. Them the one just for the product introductions, and demonstrations, with just a dusting of the spec's.

  I still love the techies, geeky stuff, but that was a neat bunch of rabbits, MS pulled out of the Hat! I wish I could have gone!

  I have used the Lumia Windows phones ever since they first came out, and I just love them! I want the Lumia 950XL, but will keep my Lumua 1520 for now, it's still a heavy hitter, and has an beyound Awesome camera! I also have a Lumia 640, I use when I am working!

  Long Live MS!

  As far as the school goes, and the whole mid week meeting, what the really did was change the names of things, and shuffle the stuff around, and tweaked it all to give the sheeple's renewed faith that the work is really speeding up!

  The school still exist, with a new name, and changes to the talks!

  Bible Highlights, new name, some changes.

  Bible reading. Unchanged.

  1st. Short demo/talk about first contact in fs of some kind.

  2nd. Bit longer demo/talk about return visits.

  3rd. Longer demo talk bible studies.

  These 3 demo's are brother or sister, with 2 people each, and short remarks from the school turkey! More if needed privately!

  The KM is gone, replaced with a new colorful 8 page monthly, with all the meeting info for all the parts!

  Do they notice who no longer gives donations?

  by onightdivine in

  2. beliefs

  because i haven't put in a single dime for over a year now in the box at the kh.

  the usual custom is to put money in there right after the meetings.

  but heck, i already spend so much in car fuel just to attend - i don't care really if the gb starves and dies.. oops.. anyway, do the elders take note who's donating and who's not?.

  I still go to the box, just like I always did, and act like I am putting money in, just in case someone's watching. Plus I always do it just after the first of the month, because that when all the retired get their checks. I would hate to be seen looking like I put something in, then they find nothing!

  I was an ms for years, once I had an elder tell me I should always put checks in the box. I know he wanted to see what all the ms's donated!

  but no girls allowed!

  as of january, women won't be accepted as volunteers, at any of the job sites!.

  it has to do with the rooming arrangements.

  It has to do with the rooming arrangements. They will have two of the bethell dorms ready, and will start housing the workers there instead of at some of the motels they been renting! I guess the motels cost a lot of money.

  This doesn't mean there won't be any sisters there, but the borg won't be housing them!

  This explains, them asking for volunteers from the less than the best. Most of the poor sisters that go, have been doing "grunt" work!
