An interesting YouTube experiment, JWs straying onto an "apostate" channel

by cedars in

some time ago i uploaded a video to youtube that was a medley of different young ones singing "listen obey and be blessed.

" as you can imagine, it's rather creepy.. here it is.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou802omcnvq.

my intention in making the video was twofold.

Aussie Oz

It really is simple to understand the JW reactions, you see, they or the Watchtower didn't put up the video so it's a given that it is 'apostate'. Oz

Watch Tower Web Site Has No Commenting Feature, Comments Unwelcome,

by frankiespeakin in

well it comes as no surprise that the "official" watch tower web site has no place to leave a comment you can only leave your address if your interested.. can you imagine if they did have a place where you can post comments what would happen?.

i'm sure the lack luster of the wt web site is due to the fact that a bunch of old governing body member must go over it with a fine toothed comb and with all thier other business to carry out as corporation executives it is just to time consuming and lets face it these old guys just don't have what it takes to bring this organization thru the 21st century, they are too lost in thier delusion, they are fighting thier own shadow, the enemy is everyone that disagrees with them and they are so steeped in denial they don't want to hear any comment that doesn't agree with them.

they only want confirmation biased statements to read, all else must be resisted and faught against.. internet presents is very important to the wt or it should be as door to door sales will no longer pay the bills, who wants a trashy magazine when you can down load info cheaply and quickly off the net.. these delusional old guys running the wt will be the reason they go belly up.

Aussie Oz

I wouldn't expect any organization to have a comments section...it's an information site not a blog.

but an online register for people to put themselves as do not calls would be an eye opener for the WT for sure!

NOVEMBER 15TH STUDY EDITION. THE WORST YET???

by DATA-DOG in

' cultivate the spirit of a lesser one ' to be studied january 7-13.... " a humble person has heartfelt gratitude for jehovah's provisions, including spiritual food.

hence, such an individual is a diligent student of the bible and an avid reader of the watchtower and awake!

magazines.

Aussie Oz

Better write in to Websters Dictionary and let them know that the definition of 'humble' has changed.

Catholicism: Having Sex with Your Wife Can Be Adulterous

by Most Noble in

pope john paul ii urged husbands "not to commit adultery with their wives by desiring sex for its mere pleasure and the satisfaction of instinct" (modras: 124, of 1980).. .

we weren't exactly expecting a sex positive response, but isn't it a tad over the top, and well, you know, wrong to say that sex with your wife could even possibly be adulterous?

the argument is that having sex for pleasure, rather than procreation, is against church doctrine, but how on earth is that adulterous?

Aussie Oz

Seeing as the WT has morphed into a version of Catholicism, i can see the WT actually using this view.

"Yes brother elder, my husband desired sex just to use my body for his own fantasy and now i want a scriptual divorce because thats a form of adultery"...

January 2013 warns parents to resist contact with df'd children again

by stuckinlimbo in

see page 15-16. full of "straw men" like:.

* do not blame yourself it is the child that jehovah blames - parents do not care whose fault it is they just want their child not to be killed by god.

* it is ok for parents to hope their df'd child returns - was anybody really asking if that was wrong?.

marked to come back too...

Does it matter what kind of keyboard you type on?

by littlerockguy in

i have been typing on the same keyboard for almost 17 years and i'm so used to it i don't want to go to another kind of keyboard if anything happens to this one.. in fact i have a backup model of the same keyboard since they are so hard to find.

it's the old ibm model m keyboard.

i love the sound of the feedback and the racket it makes compared to the newer keyboards.
