Will The Noah Movie Wake Some Up to TTATT?
by jw07 inthe trailer for the noah blockbuster has been released (even superman and thor are more believable myths).. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frtlt3deydu.
many jws on my facebook page are clamoring to go see it believe it or not.
others are pointing out the 'inconsistencies' with watchtower doctrine.. having something visualized and plainly layed out before you is useful when dealing with unthinking persons.. do you think that seeing it will help some jws to crtitically think about things they have read and glossed over?

Many JWs on my Facebook page are clamoring to go see it believe it or not. Others are pointing out the 'inconsistencies' with Watchtower doctrine.
Having something visualized and plainly layed out before you is useful when dealing with unthinking persons.
Do you think that seeing it will help some JWs to crtitically think about things they have read and glossed over? For instance, check out 1:25, where that mass of animals and insects are presented. I'm sure many haven't thought about the logistics of supposedly craming all the animals we know of today into one place, feeding them, cleaning filth, FEEDING CARNIVORES, catering to different types of diets, all done by 8 PEOPLE.
By the way, you should research Utnapishtim.

WT's 2 BOE Letters Flip-Flop!
by JW GoneBad ineveryone knows about the recent across-the-board okay to use electronic devices in jw worship.
few, though, know about how not long ago it was considered a taboo.. first, there was that dc talk a couple of years back where they nearly demonized simply the ownership of a smart phone, ipads (i phones, blackberries, etc) let alone the use of them at meetings.
they brought out that they were a waste of time, expensive and that they exposed a christian to satan's world on the internet.

My impression is that the Governing Body, being the old, ignorant turds that they are probably just recently caught on to the rise of tablet usage, probably thinking at first that it was just a fad. Prices will continue to fall, more and more people will start to use them, and connect to the internet to cross-check what they are being told. How do they combat this? By 'embracing' technology.
The rhetoric has changed vs even 5 years ago. Using the internet was once a taboo, now the policy is: use the internet, but remember to only use our site for 'your own research'.
Phone and tablet use were taboo 2 years ago. Now the policy is: oh, you can use them, but make sure to use our apps and website.
They have made their own app for goodness sake. My prediction is that in the near future they will have hyped, Apple styled version releases. What's new in this version etc etc.
They cannot defeat Moore's law and the rise of technology. The best they can do is try to ride the wave of tech to push propaganda.

Watchtower and Women's Rights
by jw07 inwe are in the year 2014, women make up the majority of the jw population, yet are not given certain '''''''privileges''''''' simply because they don't have a penis.
no talks, no leadership roles or the hope of them...ever, no matter how educated, zealous, or well spoken you are.. with the world moving towards upholiding women's rights do you see this becoming an issue that the watchtower will have to 'adjust it's thinking' on soon?.

JW 2013 New Bible vs. LDS 2013 New Scriptures

I wonder if the Watchtower and Mormons / LDS seek outside help for marketing their organizations. Public image management (how to build anticipation for their captive / target audience), internet campaigning, corporate strategy etc.
They could also be copying each other.
This video is similar in style (animation) to ones I've seen on JW.org

What Was Your First Experience In Exposing Yourself To "Apostasy"?
by minimus inas a young teenager, i would look at "apostate" books at the city library.
i was always intrigued as to what was sooo bad and other than a few writings of some that seemed like they hated the witnesses, i would clandestinely look at literature, especially in "christian" bookstores.. it took years for me to finally disconnect.
i will say that ray franz' books enlightened me the most!.

My first experience with 'apostacy' was reading a box of old Watchtower literature (old light) as a young teen. Stuff from the 1950's and 1960's. I read what seemed interesting at first, and what I eventually realised was absurb in comparison to what 'we' now believed. Funnily enough what had the most impact was reading the Awake magazine containing 'advice' not to go to university because the end WOULD come BEFORE the time taken to complete a degree set off warning flags. I started wondering if 'we' still believed that, if it was really that bad, couldn't you do both (study and pioneer)? And shouldn't the matter be someone's personaly choice? I started taking everything with a grain of salt since thing, and more and more I began to realise that the reality of millions of people were being manipulated by a printing company in New York.
