  The wages of sin...

  by joey jojo in

  somewhere in the bible it says; the wages of sin is death.. just death.

  not pain or anguish or agonising illnesses.

  so , why do we have to endure all of the heart-breaking torment that goes along with life?

  everybody sins, everybody dies. Sounds pretty simple to me.

  We only get one life, try to keep your sins to a minimum and appreciate the gift of life until you meet the great equalizer - death.

  Last song at Regional Convention of 2016 was stolen from Audiomachine

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  as far as i know, i did a search, and you may not know this but, the last song play during a music video of the regional convention, was not of watchtower.

  it's stolen from a group called audiomachine off their album epica.

  the song is called eternal flame and it is exactly and i mean, note for note the same as the music video.

  There is no question that this is the same song. The best guess is the Wt paid a royalty to a worldly band. It probably was not a major expense.

  The real issue is the message coming from the bunker videos, which is highly cultish.

  I am turning 60 in May, which means that I graduated high school in 1975. I do not keep track with my "generation" but my guess is that most are either dead or have abandoned the faith they were taught.

  Russian news article re: financial misdeeds of the WT in Russia

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the way that the wt conducts business in russia, hiding ownership of property and moving money overseas, was a large factor in the jws falling afoul of the russian authorities.

  it wasn't just 'extremist' views that came into play, it was also their handling of money that was illegal.. this article is from a russian news source - i had to use google translate to read it, so i have copied and pasted the whole article (i usually don't...apologies to the author of the article).

  if someone has russian language skills, please feel welcome to offer a better translation.. .

  As I suspected, it is all about money and real estate. If a few brothers get sent to prison, no problem - bot you gotta save the money.

  Didn't John Travolta make it by name in the Watchtower because of his evil disco movie, Saturday Night Fever?

  The general themes are: (a) the end is near, (b) do more in the field, and (c) aren't the provisions of the FDS wonderful.

  Best talk ever.

  New "paradise" video preview? "Will you be there?"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife (unstuck) just saw a new 2-3 min video in her ex jw facebook feed, depicting a "paradise" scene preview.. it was complete with aerial shots and slow motion montages, with moving music.. scriptures were quoted across the screen, such as rev 21:3,4. i shazamed the music, and it came from another "worldly" album called "world of dreams.future world music" (you should see the song titles from that album!).

  is it an official wt video, or some private persons production?.

  if it is official, they seem to have once again resorted to desperate emotional manipulation tactics..... anyone else know?
