Experiment talking to apple about JW app I was curious what would happen if I did a web chat and talked to Apple about the JW IOS app. So it went like this: • Hello. I would like to report an offensive app I found today in the IOS store • 1:17 PM It links to literature by the organizations web site that is anti gay. . So the organizations app is a portal to their many books. • I understand and will be happy to assist with this issue. • I am here to help. • You said you want to report an offensive App. What App is it please? • https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jw-library/id672417831?ls=1&mt=8 • I am sorry, here at work I cannot click on links. • JW Library Jehovah's Witnesses • I thank you. • If you install it and search for the word gay you will see what I mean. • It will open a browser to their publications • 1:22 PM I gotcha. I understand. I am glad you took some time to let us know. I appreciate that and so does Apple. I will get this up to the folks above me. I thank you a great deal. • No problem • You are all set on my side. Again, many thanks. Thank you for being the best part of Apple! That is all. I have no idea if the info will really be seen by higher ups . But that was how it went. - Via Otnar1 Will you help us spread the word?

Link to the story (behind paywall, though) https://www.fvn.no/nyheter/i/0E8mPM/De-bla-konvoluttene There will be an official , free, English version released soon, so please don't make a google translated version yet.

Here is an example:

I should have just added this video to your earlier post @The Librarian But I felt strongly that this video also needed it's own topic.

Jehovah's Witness Organization Redefines Shunning to Falsely.mp4 Every JW visiting this page should MORALLY comment below and publicly state that this JW Lawyer is LYING through his teeth to the Canadian Supreme Court. If you don't, YOU participate in this gross sin. Because you ALL KNOW this is a false statement. Remember as well that this JW Lawyer is also an Officer of the Court. What the courts do not know is that JW's consider outright lying in court a part of "theocratic warfare" just like Muslims do. So it is a virtue to them. SMH. Can you spell P-E-R-J-U-R-Y?

But if they are an accused child molester that was not disfellowshipped because of the two witness rule, you can hang out and talk with them as much as you want. Or if they committed a gross sin, but tricked the elders into believing they were repentant, and did not get disfellowshipped, you can hang out with them to.

So Asa removed his grandmother from her position as “Queen Mother” for setting up idols. Where’s the parallel for Asa shunning his family? Also, Asa betrayed Jehovah later in life, yet was still counted faithful all his life. Grasping at straws with this one.

"Sunday, December 30 Asa’s heart was complete with Jehovah all his life.—1 Ki. 15:14. Each of us can examine his heart to see if it is fully devoted to God. Ask yourself, ‘Am I determined to please Jehovah, to defend true worship, and to protect his people from any corrupting influence?’ For example, what if someone close to you has to be disfellowshipped? Would you take decisive action by ceasing to associate with that person? What would your heart move you to do? Like Asa, you can show that you have a complete heart by fully relying on God when you are faced with opposition, even some that may seem insurmountable. You may be teased or ridiculed at school for taking a stand as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Or colleagues at work may taunt you for taking days off for spiritual activities or for not often working overtime. In such situations, pray to God, just as Asa did. (2 Chron. 14:11) Remain firm for what you know is right and wise. Remember that God strengthened and helped Asa, and He will strengthen you. w17.03 3:6-8 " https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/12/30

Because of the way they are formed as seperate from the original planet. In the case of our Moon it is the remnants of Thea that slammed into early Earth.

Just in case you demand more proof:

if there is a smoking gun, that would be Bert Sibrel’s film A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Moon, wherein the date stamp is July 19th, and Apollo 11 is clearly in low earth orbit, and the guys are trying to fake a shot, making the earth look farther away. there is no way to honestly explain that sequence. For those of you who are about to attack me, please focus on the arguments and refrain fro ad hominem attacks, as all moon supporters use. “You’ve got to be crazy to believe that. It has been proven beyond all shadow of a doubt!”

“All Truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, Then it is violently opposed, Finally it is accepted as self-evident.” -Arthur Schopenhauer- “In an age of universal deceit, telling the Truth is a revolutionary act.” “Whoever controls the past, controls the future.” -George Orwell- “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the Truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” -Carl Sagan- “It is easier to fool people, than to convince them that they have been fooled.” -Mark Twain- Award winning filmmaker Bart Sibrel (Sibrel.com) presents his highly acclaimed (and much hated) controversial documentary showcasing newly discovered behind-the-scenes out-takes from the first mission to the moon, proving conclusively that the crew never left earth orbit. Never before in all of recorded aviation has a flying machine worked on its very first attempt, much less the most complicated one ever created, landing on another planet on its maiden voyage and returning roundtrip with a crew that lived to tell, all with antiquated 1960's technology, even though the feat cannot be repeated today, by any nation on earth, with 50 years more technological advancements in rockets and computers, thus failing the simplest of scientific protocols, that of independent verification and duplication. Religious attachment to this blasphemous lie, clouds most peoples' perception of the deplorability reality, that of a government deception, on a universal scale, to boost domestic morale during a time of unprecedented civil unrest from the vastly unpopular Vietnam War, all during the notorious Nixon administration. Ever wonder why they claimed to have walked on the moon, on the very first attempt (even though, right here on earth, Mt. Everest and the South Pole took numerous tries before success), allegedly accomplishing this amazing feat with very rudimentary 1960's technology (a cell phone has one million times the computing power than all of NASA in 1969), yet 50 years later, the farthest an astronaut can travel from the Earth to the moon is only 1 / 1000th the distance as they claimed 5 decades ago with antique equipment on their very first try? In this newly discovered, unedited, behind-the-scenes footage of outtakes from the first "mission to the moon", the crew is seen using a one foot diameter model of the earth, from earth orbit, in order to create the false illusion for the television viewers that they are half way to the moon, when in fact, they never left earth orbit, which is exactly the farthest limit that NASA can send astronauts today, with 50 years better rocket and computer technology. The CIA is even heard on a private, third audio channel, prompting the crew to respond to Mission Control only after four seconds have elapsed, in order to create the false impression of an increased radio delay, so as to appear farther from the earth than they really were. According to William Kaysing, a senior 6 year NASA contractor for the "Apollo" missions, who had the highest of security clearances, a classified interdepartmental memo rated the odds of a survivable manned lunar mission, on its first attempt with primitive 1960's technology, at only one in ten thousand. The only way to assure success, and not risk killing the crew on live international television, was an artful bluff by the shrewd Nixon administration, along with their well acquainted counterparts in the CIA. Sibrel has been interviewed, and his documentary about the moon landings have been featured on, The Tonight Show, The Daily Show, Geraldo at Large, The Abrams Report, Coast to Coast, NBC, CNN, FOX, Time Magazine, The New York Times, The L.A. Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today.

@JW Insider I also added a clarification edit. Thx.

@JW Insider That list is actually hosted on another website if you look at the actual link. I didn't upload a version here. Although I would say you are correct. The creator / hosting service should think twice before accusing widely.

So they like to send out "News Releases" about Natural disasters with the implication that if you support them (DONATE money to jw.org) then they will somehow help the people needing assistance. Rolling Stone magazine article found out differently:

So they tell us about the wildfires and then don't help their own?

Billy Green Bush was a character actor on everything from M*A*S*H to The Dukes of Hazard, but the 84-year-old divorcee didn’t have homeowners insurance when the house he’d built decades ago burned down. He’s still having trouble qualifying for FEMA assistance, which is capped at only $34,900, because one of his adult children is also on the lease. Bush told me he doesn’t have the stamina to rebuild himself, and he doesn’t trust anyone else to build to his standards. He’s been living in his 1957 Dodge van since the fire with his dog, and the van was having trouble starting when we spoke. But even in these circumstances, his fire story slid easily into evangelism when asked about his plans for the holidays. “You should give thanks every minute of every day,” he said, “I’m a Jehovah’s Witness, and every day is Christmas for me.” https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/malibu-rebuilding-woolsey-fire-772461/ ------------------------------------ Don't worry Billy.... just send in your money to the Governing Body via JW.org and God will bless you. Just ask any Jehovah's Witness near you in rich California and they will explain how they dedicate so much money to charities and helping people in need. "Keep warm and well fed"!! Oh.. and thanks for the acting work in MASH. Loved that show. Have you tried reaching out to the studio to see if they can fix your van?

Bottom line: Watchtower said you can't be baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, only as a Christian -- "sects have nothing to do with it." And yet the second baptismal question says that being baptized identifies you, not as a Christian, but as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Flip-flop.

@The Librarian Do you have the 1963 Watchtower referenced above anywhere in your archive?

Which sort of Jehovah's Witness Are You? Like the ones back in the 1950's or more like the ones in 2018? Oh... I should also mention that the 1950 JW's did not "dis fellowship" (effectively killing) their loved ones when they sin.

Modern JW Baptismal question contradicts previous Watchtower claims
