  Flipper, clearly you haven't watched from the beginning. Since the pilot Morgan reappeared once before in the episode "Clear". He couldn't shoot his wife when she was a zombie, not because he was scared, but because he loved her. Rick left Morgan and his son back in their home town and gave him a walkie talkie. He promised to return to get him after he found his family. In the meantime Morgan's son was bitten by his zombie mother who manged to get in the house, the one who Morgan couldn't shoot. THEN he shot her in the head and his son as well. He went absolutely fruit loops. When Rick found him a season or two later while he, Carl and Michone were scavenging he was hold up in a building, collecting walkers and burning their bodies as if it were some service to humanity. Rick had lost his mind and tried to convince Morgan he could be well but Morgan said you cannot come back. Rick left him there crazy as hell. To see him now a ninja and sane is pretty out there, some say he found a ninja school somewhere on the road. He is a great character and one of the only constants that hasn't been there constantly! Can't wait to see what happens next.

  Vintage Watch Tower films

  let's see... the wts has released only very brief clips of the photo drama, a vhs quality transfer of the new world society in action on jw broadcasting, and fleeting clips from heritage and the color convention films.

  heritage is available on youtube in low quality.

  does anybody know of availability of other films, especially the much hyped god cannot lie?

  Never heard of the God Cannot Lie film. I put up Heritage, was the best I could do 20 years ago, sorry. Better than nothing. I also have "The New World Society in Action" but that was made available on disc some time ago so I didn't post it on YouTube. My version was kind of sucky too. The photodrama is on Youtube also.

  Look at the divorce rate, that will tell you that the majority are NOT being raised by both a father and a mother ...and by the way, if its unnatural to have two mothers and two fathers, that's what they end up with after divorce. Duh. The fact is that birth is not a miracle, being raised by unselfish parents who will love you as you deserve, void of selfishness, that's the miracle. If they get that from two of the same sex, more power to them. We are all going to die so get off their ass about who you think they should have sex with. I bet these people bitching about the advantage of hetero marrieds have drug addicted and troubled kids the same as gay parents.

  Could you help me with a little Witness history ?

  by ukgirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as part of a student film project that i am completing i will be conducting a telephone interview with an exjw tomorrow.. the person i am interviewing was a witness between the years of the 50's (born in) - late 80's so obviously would have been in their late teens for the prophecies and events of 1975.. as this person is older than i, i am plan to tailor my questions around being a witness in that time period.

  i just wonder if you could point me in the direction of any more date specific events surrounding this time period that i could touch upon in my interview ?.

  much appreciated .

  !986 could get honorable mention because they made a BIG deal about the "international year of peace" that the UN declared. There was an awake magazine with a dove on the cover as I recall. It highlighted that the cry for "peace and security" may be at hand because of it. That was a big deal for some but 1975 was the big one for that time. For so long expectation had been built up for 1975 that there was no need for any other dates for the 50's and 60's. Afterwards they have stopped speaking in specifics, just generalities. The computation wing of the WT has closed down. They are back to "Soon", instead of a "when" time frame. Just find the stats for the 1976 and you'll see just how big a disappointment it was. It was no small amount that quit the organization. Any other pivotal dates were the usual 1914, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1948 and of course 1975.

  Need Help, what do you do when Elders try to bully you and your family with Lies and threats? I am inactive and hate them now!

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  i have a elder trying to screw with me because he protects pedophiles and claims they can be rehabilitated.

  he's doing his jw attacks while nobody is around because he knows he can lie about me and my family even if there are three witnesses the jw elders don't do squat!

  they cower because all the elders are terrified of this bully, he brags about how great his business is but i know so many secrets about him and his wife.

  Of course you are welcome here. You know the drill. He is an elder and has that stature which he can wield against you. If you have two witnesses of his wrongdoing that are ready to accuse him then by all means bring the info out against the jerk. If not, you are asking for a reverse attack that will get you in hot water. As for your wife and lost wages, you now know to "get it in writing". If its not in writing it didn't happen unless you have two witnesses to the agreement and a way to prove the payment wasn't made. I'm afraid its not very promising. The best thing you can do is choose to fade, DA or be disfellowshiped. Seek peace and ditch the jerk, just avoid his ass if you cannot do battle successfully.

  Richard White was mentally unstable. Apparently he went off the rails and attacked the TSA at the N. Orleans airport. They shot him to stop him chasing down people trying to hack them with his machete. He is reported as being a JW. A neighbor says he was against western medicine.

  "He was so meek, so mild," she added, saying he was a deeply religious Jehovah's Witness who shunned Western medicine and encouraged his neighbor to use herbal remedies, even to treat her diabetes."
  

  I know that doesn't make him crazy, but, have you found many JW's to be unreasonable about western medicine, viewing it as a plot? and that the "Natural" way is the only way? This brother rejected a transfusion in the hospital. Well, he died faithful right, lol. Sometimes JW medicine deniers seem about as mentally stable as this whack job. Your thoughts?

  Short version: Dropped doctrine that door was shut to anointed in 1935/38. Not all are replacements but probably are. Number means nothing anymore. There ya go. They have no problem dumping doctrines they would executed you for not believing previously when IT was "Noo Light."
