normally i don't go in for these conspiracy theory ideas, but a comment by kurtbethel on another thread got me to thinking.
might this latest dvd actually be proof that there are operatives inside watchtower hq who are deliberately sabotaging the society's material?
I think the only ones bothered by it are us. We are not missing anything.
Most JWs other than a few more liberal ones will use it to contol the kids. They will marvel at how the evil cartoon styles of hollywood can be bent to do 'jehovah's will'. a sort of 'up yours' to satan.
They are deadly serious, i dont think they have slipped up at all. They want parents to be suspicious of worldly school friends, they want kids to feel that satan is handing them toys via these 'friends'. They have always been alarmist and extremist in these matters, this is just a hip new medium that has just enough laughs to keep both the kids and parents attention.
The JWs will not see manipulation, sneered 'satans' or furtive glances, they will see just how to behave. This is aimed at parents as much as kids, just like all the pixar style flicks.

i've uploaded a new blog article that addresses the latest dvd release at the current district convention, namely "become jehovah's friend!
" - the tale of young caleb and his brush with divine wrath over a plastic toy wizard.
a link to the article, which includes the youtube samples of the production, is below:.
poor little Caleb

Dumb Jws can't see the difference

hi guys,.
i call myself a lurker, but it's really been a short time since i've known about this site...it's only been five days.
i discovered this site while doing personal research on the topics of porneia, oral sex, and mutual masturbation, and found a thread on this site about it.
welcome!
''I'm a confused, newly appointed MS, and have no idea on what I should do, because of my family. If I come across anything new that is plain hyprocritical or just glaring deceit, I'm definitely making my exit though, no matter how my family reacts''.
you may well find this happens far faster then you imagine...so, take the good advice of those who have walked your path.

some ex-jws feel strongly we should all be "out of the closet" so we can present real faces to the public on the issue of cult dangers.
to those folks i say, more power to you, all the best.. for my own life i have a different approach.. compartmentalizing is healthy for me.
it keeps my past in the past.
Usually it the active JWs that want 'apostates' to be all open with photo and name. I don't think there is any question as to why.
My opinion...each of us has reasons for whatever we do in that regard.
I will out myself when i am good and ready, apostate hunters can go do rude things involving colorful metaphores to the opening between their gluteus maximus.

or so says ronald weinland;.
may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.
for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.
They never learn do they!
I just love all the world is ending predictions...they just remind more and more people that christianity has lost the plot and cannot be taken seriously anymore.
Long live the whackos!

so i'm 21, just married, and raised in my fathers image and thank god he liked sci-fi...a genre i was able to escape to new worlds in.
he even took me to a trekkie covention when i was albout 12 at the greensboro coliseum and it was packed.
we had watched every episode over and over...i thought.
''Yesterday my oldest son said "Dad I think mom is insane...and she has been insane for a very long time"...he was serious.............oompa''
so sad really, i suspect that my kids wonder about their mother too. Her behaviour is really ostracizing them. Real 'unmotherly' stuff going on.
