  1. Since these were "recovered" from an older Google archive (copies from the JW-archive)... I wouldn't be surprised if they degraded the resolution on some of them.... sadly. ;-(
  2. The last one I posted in this thread is somewhat fuzzy...... But this other one for example is not...
  3. I think it has to do with opening them up 'en masse' versus 'one by one'...... something about the "lazy loading" by the browser? if not, then I apologize.... ;-(
  4. This Youtuber has Phd in Theological Studies and offers his personal opinions throughout. I thought it interesting to see how others view us....
  5. Sorry... I fear all that was lost along with the entire jw-archive.org 😓 And I doubt anyone still has those videos hanging around anywhere.... That is when corporate censorship was really beginning to be understood

  7. Why is Germany always way ahead of the US with technology?
  8. Bei der Tat sollen mindestens sechs Menschen ums Leben gekommen sein. Anders als zunächst gemeldet, gibt es keinen Hinweis auf einen flüchtigen Täter, wie die Polizei mitteilte. Vielmehr deute einiges darauf hin, dass er unter den Toten sei. Dennoch fahndet die Polizei nach möglichen weiteren Tätern. "Um die Beteiligung weiterer Täter auszuschließen, führen wir Überprüfungen durch und fahnden umfassend", schrieben die Beamten auf Twitter. Laut Sicherheitskreisen stuft die Polizei die Tat als Amoklauf ein. Die Hintergründe sind unklar. Hamburgs Innensenator Grote hat für den Mittag eine Pressekonferenz angekündigt. Das Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz hob um kurz nach 3 Uhr morgens die Gefahrenwarnung rund um den Tatort wieder auf.--------------------------------------------In einer Kirche der Zeugen Jehovas in Hamburg hat ein Unbekannter mehrere Menschen erschossen und einige verletzt. Der Täter ist laut Polizei noch nicht gefasst. Rettungskräfte trugen Menschen aus dem Gebäude im Stadtteil Alsterdorf. "Die Toten haben alle Schussverletzungen", sagte ein Polizeisprecher.Die Tat ereignete sich gegen 21 Uhr, über die Hintergründe ist noch nichts bekannt. Die Polizei gab eine amtliche Warnmeldung heraus, in der sie die Menschen aufforderte, sich im Gefahrenbereich nicht ins Freie zu begeben. https://www.instagram.com/p/CplbF59IYoJ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D
  9. "...Vehren said police were alerted to the shooting about 9:15 p.m. and were on the scene quickly. He said that after officers arrived and found people with apparent gunshot wounds on the ground floor, they heard a shot from an upper floor and found a fatally wounded person upstairs who may have been a shooter. He said police did not have to use their firearms. Vehren said there was no indication that a shooter was on the run and that it appeared likely that the perpetrator was either in the building or among the dead.

  10. Well... to be fair @Mic Drop JW's do not have a problem charging or collecting interest. You must be thinking of Islamic banking. We probably shouldn't charge our brothers interest ... but that rule is really based on the older Mosaic law (from which Islam copied) So no JW really has a problem with interest per se. To be honest JW.org makes millions on invested cash, stocks etc in traditional fiat banks around the world. But you never know... maybe Bitcoin is already getting a strong look as a "store of value" that is outside the purview of courts and governments to confiscate over frivolous lawsuits? Now you have me thinking down a whole other path....
  11. Interesting @Mic Drop....You did get me to thinking.... Bitcoin is the first international currency that isn't biased to any one government, head of state or nationality so "truly impartial"..... but we have always had gold which does the same thing. Interesting thought occurred to me that it would be a currency without a "false set of scales" since it is based on purely mathematical computations as you have shown previously. I can't really see where the Bible or Jehovah God would have anything against using such a system... after all he made the very math it uses. Isn't the Fibonacci used sometimes even referred to as "God's fingerprint"? In the end .... it is just money.... so just beware of loving it. I guess it remains to be seen if we will have the "Internet" during the Great Tribulation or even into Paradise. It might be part of the "olive oil and the wine" of luxuries that will not disappear during the GT. Thanks for the thought experiment.
