Shooting stars at end of JW video about New Tuxedo HQ

by scotoma in

the videos on jw.org are nauseatingly corporate and propagandistic.. the smiling blondes that are showcased - the big executives sitting at their thrones (authoritative.

desks).

the workers clad in their orange safety uniforms like so many worker bees in a hive.. the word "love" used over and over again.

jw07

Continuing on this course may be a good thing. Many JWs may soon realise that they are just #4,337,583 in a corporate structure.

NNew member...1st post

by Oh Gawd in

new guy here so i thought i would make a brief introduction.. my exposure to the jw's is indirect, as i have never been a member; however my wife of 22 years grew up in a jw household.

her dad is the grand-pooba or whatever level of "elder" you call it for his kh.

her mom, sister, brother, and their spouses all died in the wool witnesses.

I think I need someone to give me a history lesson about this site

"this doesn't mean of course that i will allow posts of an obvious apostate nature or those that are abusive.

now this was 12 years ago.

For Simon the light got the brightest.

Will The Noah Movie Wake Some Up to TTATT?

by jw07 in

the 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?

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 in

everyone 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.

jw07

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 in

we 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

by fredPotato in

hello folks!

nice sunday huh?.

got something interesting here, so take your time to read it through .

jw07

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
