It turns out the WT leadership isn't the batsh-t craziest, there is another even worse
by dropoffyourkeylee inthe belief that the governing body must be of the anointed (little flock) has led the wt to jump through some hoops in recent years to find their leadership candidates.
the problems inherent in their beliefs:.
the number 144,000 is literal.. the anointed received their consecration before 1935 (this has had to be relaxed in the last few years).. the years have passed and most of the original anointed are dead.

Dante's Inferno 1911 film
by dropoffyourkeylee ini just watched a 1911 silent film of dante's inferno, with recently (2016) added soundtrack.
the film was produced in italy, but the captions in this copy are in english.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brukyhvsvfg.
rather disturbing, to say the least.. curiously, very little of dante's depiction of hell is hot hellfire.

Need-treaters in Morocco live there under pseudonyms... are you serious?
by dropoffyourkeylee ini have learned from a credible source that jws have recently gone to a morocco, where the work is under ban, and while living there have lived under assumed names.

i'm thinking, isn't that illegal?
