How long before the WT gets sued to harrasement? I mean, does it sound too crazy to think that, while chances are no one will give his number to a stranger knocking the door, eventually a crazy pioneer may spam his potential convert with text messages or emails?

JC's and recordings?
by punkofnice ini know there are recordings out there of jcs and more to come.
i imagine the average drone wouldn't dream of recording a jc but those who are aware of the tatt might record jcs if they bother to attend.. i'm wondering (yes, another idle speculation post...sorreeeeeee), with the advent of more being recorded if the wbt$ will change their tack on how jcs are conducted?
leave it the same?.

I have the facebook profile of one of the most arrogant elders in my cong. Screenshoot of this "followed" page. He's got a couple of porn stars there. Strategy is that if I ever get pulled into a JC, I would let it run its course (Record it off course). Appeal and then claim the holly spirit could had not possibly be present in that JC, based on the facts.
They did the same to me and my wife. Unfortunately I was out of town when they called her in. While the matter was trivial, the attitude bothered me even more. Having been such a trivial issue, there was no need to pull her. All they had to do was call me or wait two days and ask us together.

Aww! Cofty, did you not know this is a progressive organization? So sad of you that you can not adapt to the changing times... See Jehovah is the God that created quantum mechanichs. In such science, it can be explained that two objects can be in two places at once. Same way, Jehovah's organization can be both, right and wrong at the same time. When observed, though.. it will always be right.
Don't take it too seriously bro! I am being sarcastic!
I am actually glad the WTBT$ has not caught to that idea... they may just use it.

haha! Look at this guy.. is almost entertaining! Where were you when our elder announced the lower attendance to the memorial (2014 lower compared to 2013) and told us the reason was that we changed the venue from the KH to a party hall and people went to the wrong place? Oh... despite one place being next door to the other... yeah.. people are dumb, did not realize all of us in suits waiting in the same parking lot.

Mr GC, I went on typing a response to you. Then I figured it out after a while that you are not worth it.

hahaha! its coming! During our international convention one of the bethelites expressed dismay at the fact that Mormons had stated that the new way to reach people was over social media. The bethelite ensure us that JW would never, ever abandon the door to door preaching in favor of social media. Can anyone see the foot coming to the mouth on this one?
If texting and email are ok, what is really left to move over to facebook and do the same?

I personally think that one way to make them change would be that we all agree to stop donating... those that can at least. Even that little counts once you add everybody up.
When I brought this up to my wife (she still very much in, prefers to ignore some of the bad things) I told her that most members of other churches would agree to donate, even if they had many grievances towards their faith. Just the thought that it takes a bit of money to run a place that we all use (the KH) but that given the new arrangement on donations and the fact that all left overs will be sent to the WT, I could not conciously support this organization anymore. To my surprise she agreed. Haven't made a single donation in over a year.

Provided that we are all just speculating and that no one know for sure if there will be any announcements at all, most of us are hopeful for the hints at the next 1975-like fiasco. You would see that the hype about 1975 did not come in one meeting of this sort. It was build up over the years, but certain key speeches or magazine articles, now in hinsight, gave all the understanding that it was coming. Had we been in that situation back then, we could have warned our loved ones. We are just in the lookout for those things.

unfortunately I won't be able to skip the "ZONE VISIT!" (I hear those words in my head as I type them, with some horror-movie type of music in the background). I am supposed to help setup the video feed. An announcement was also made last night to remind everyone that no one should be using the Wifi that day. I hardly thing anyone understood what is that they needed to do with their wifi.

Yeap... I can see some making that mistake and maxing out their credit cards. One of my relatives could be one of them, thanksfully she does not have a credit card, only debit. She does have, though, this self imposed "pledge" that she has not been able to comply with. I mean she has the money, but for one reason or another keeps on forgetting to proceed. She has meant to make the whole donation at once and this just makes it easier for her to finally do it.
Makes me wonder if people will confuse this donation arrangement with the same they do at the local hall. If no arrangement is ever made to make electronic donations to the local hall, then this might well be a tricky move. See, if people do begin to experience the convenience of electronic donation, they may forget, or have less to donate locally. This would make the KH local account to begin drying. Then the elders would come hounding the cong because they are not making ends meet. This way, if you make an electronic, recurring donation, plus you are reminded to the commitment you made locally, its a double whammy.
Just some food for thought there. I myself have stop donating. My last donation was somewhere around the time I realized how much more unexplainable expensive the assemblies were getting. When we started having assemblies in our own assembly hall rather then renting. This was somewhat unconcious... when the new construction arrangement was made and after seeing how overpriced our Hall renovation was.. I said, enough!
