In the world of the Watchtower, the Bible has been regulated to the position of being a stage prop. During Watchtower talks you will often hear the speaker quote from a Watchtower publication as authority on a matter. The Watchtower is a modern day golden calf.

Why build a new movie studio when we are in the last part of the last part of the last day?
by Vanderhoven7 ingiles gray writes: .
if the end is so near as the jehovah’s witnesses leadership claims (somehow they must have special insight), why are they building a movie studio that will be finished in 2026?.
it’s not the first time something of this nature has happened in the society’s history.

How will the studio receive power? Is it just hooked up to the power grid or does it have a solar farm? If it is for use after Armageddon it better have a solar farm. If not, there is proof positive it is just a cash cow.

This version of Dune was butchered down to fit the 2hr mark. I have seen the extended version. I even found a fan edit on YouTube that is pretty decent.
I was about 10 when the film came out. I was captivated by it. I read the entire series after that.
The SyFy network made a miniseries which I believe you can watch for free. They also followed it up with Children of Dune which combined books 2 & 3.
I am looking forward to seeing the new movie. It appears to be following the book.

Why are you guys against Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Vanderhoven7 inwhy are you guys against jehovah's witnesses?.
gilles grey writes:.
in order to answer this question properly, it is important to distinguish between the various meanings of the phrase ‘jehovah’s witnesses’.

I think a reasonable answer would be -
The same thing I have against any religion that does the following:
- Treat persons who are not members in a negative way
- Shun those who leave the religion
- Hold themselves out to be the one, true religion, superior to all others

Superman and Captain America
by punkofnice ini see that marvel are introducing a gay captain america as dc announce the son of superman is bi-sexual.. whereas i don't give a hoot about a person's use of their genitalia as long as it is consensual and not with kids, i'm finding all this 'inclusivity' becoming a bit boring.. are dc and marvel just virtue signalling in the hopes of selling comics and not being set on fire by the antifa frauds?

In short - yes.
Many corporations are cashing in on this.
According to a report from April, 2021 -
3.5% of the U.S. population identifies as lesbian, gay, or bisexual while about 0.3% as transgender.
Previously, comic books companies were cashing in on the racial virtue signaling by re-imagining comic book characters as racial minorities (minority based on U.S. population). So, it would only be par for the course that the business model would evolve to include the next victim group as we have become a society of victims versus oppressors. Those who prescribe to such ideology force everyone into one of these two groups and then those in the victim group compete over who is the bigger victim.
I am not implying that people have not been victims due to their ethnicity (there is no race in Homo Sapiens other than Homo Sapiens. Follow the science.) or in the LGBTQ+ communities.
I agree with you Punk of Nice - it has gotten to the point that the inclusivity has detracted from the story, which to me is actually demeaning to those whom these companies claim they are helping.

There was a former co-worker of my wife's. He came over to get my wife's help on a job - sort of a sub-contractor situation. He asked why we were no longer going to meetings. I explained it to him.
I thought he might just pack up and leave. Instead he listened intently. He smiled and thanked me for sharing that with him.
A few years later he spoke to my wife again. So, I don't think we scared him off.

I read in a book that sitting in a pew in a church makes you as much as a Christian as sitting in your garage makes you a car.
Being one of Jehovah's Witnesses is no longer being in a religion of a "life saving work." The near future is to simply sit, watch JW Broadcasting, and donate. Worship of the Governing Body has never gotten easier. No wonder the rank and file are storming Wallkill with torches and pitch forks.

Imagine if the IRS required all tax exempt organizations to publicly post a detailed breakdown of all money coming in and how it was spent.

In researching this topic I found out that the fossil records support that whales evolved from land based mammals. Mind blown through the blow hole!
