we also avoid unscriptural burial practices
the traditional burial practice of mourners in Liberia involves bathing, dressing and even kissing the corpse
I'm sorry, WTF?! Since when do jws avoid cleansing, dressing and kissing corpses?! What a lie.

TV.JW.Org - Streamed to KHs via the New Projectors
by passwordprotected ini read here recently that the khs are being instructed to buy and install projector systems.. now that we've seen the launch of of tv.jw.org we can fully expect public talks to - on a monthly basis at least - be replaced by content streamed from the site to the screens in khs.. .

This could be interesting. I always observed a sort of mystique about the GB. It was so unusual to ever meet one or hear one speak. Don't know that I ever did, come to think of it. And now they will be right in your living room--not so special after all.

Reposting something I said on another thread about the 10/6/14 go live date for tv.jw.org:
Personally, I think the timing is suspicious. I'm sure they're doing this for recruitment purposes, but to go live right now takes a lot of attention away from something very significant: 100 years since 10/1/1914--the date predicted for Armageddon, later revised to occur while the generation was still alive, later revised to overlapping generations.
1914 remains one of their biggest teachings that is so obviously false. They have taken the wind out of that sail by posting a little...hmmm...look what "some" believed back then...how antiquated "some" were...now let's see something exciting! Bro. Lett tickling our ears in a bad suit.

Because it's proof of a false prophecy. The generation did pass away.
And then there's the evidence of what they taught before the "generation will not pass away" doctrine: jw.org has an Armageddon countdown card on it. seriously.

Looking back to what happened since sept 2012... i must say its brilliant !
by insidetheKH inwho thought in the early months of 2012 that such a rebranding would take place in only a matter of 24 months?.
they managed to go from an antique looking and boring website (watchtower.org) with hardly any attractive content to go to a fresh looking new website with stuff for everyone, families, children, teenagers.. movies, and short videos about almost everything and new ones added every month.
cartoons, animation video's , interviews, picture activities all kind of projects, many audio files like dramatic bible readings, dramas and music, online research tools, new brochures for kids (off and online) etc.

Whatever happened to showing people scriptures right from the Bible? Isn't using a kindle or notebook the same as showing someone something you photocopied?
Brother, you have missed an important detail. It's not "a Kindle or notebook". It's a tablet.

TV.JW.Org - WTF is Wrong With This Guy? - CAPTION THEM
by passwordprotected ini've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.
and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

I thought to myself, "You've been out a quarter of a century. You can tolerate a few minutes of babble for entertainment's sake." I lasted about 3 seconds before getting goosebumps and nausea. I guess I will never learn to tolerate exposure to people who brainwashed, abused and tried to kill me. Blech, I need to purge that thought out of my head now.
I don't know why, but his pants really bother me. Not a good fit.
I'm sorry but that just cracked me up. I know that's not the main issue here but it looks like a little boy wearing his dad's suit for Halloween and it is so distracting.
I hope they have the least credible, respectable programming to turn off as many people as possible.

removing the obstacles to their coming forward and seeking help, is not only the right thing to do, but it would also advance efforts to protect children from harm
BS. What obstacles? Treatment programs exist and people participate in them all the time.
Society should continue to have the strongest disdain for this behavior and continue to pressure people with these urges to work to eliminate those urges.
Is it sick? Absolutely.
