Darth, thanks for the chuckle! But you shouldn't have posted this, because you know it will show up in someone's talk preceded by "It Has Been Reported That".

Yes, and Oscar winning director, Martin Scorsese was shown a clip of Friday's drama on an airplane by a JW sitting next to him and he said "I wish I could produce and direct movies as good as the WTBT$ does. My movies suck in comparison."

Jehovahs Witnesses and New Light

by smiddy in

charles taze russell was chosen by god jehovah to reveal to mankind the way to salvation in this time of the end.. charles taze russell embarks on a public speaking program that takes him all over the world with him giving lectures in many countrys .. my question to jehovahs witnesses : was that holy spirit , inspired revelations that he gave ?

was that new light from jehovah ?

new truths ?.

Funny, we used to get quizzed to be sure we knew all the names of the wt prez past and current (and in order). We were also supposed to know the names of everyone on the gb and the teachers at gilead.

I studied in the red 'paradise' book and it seemed like the Cliff Notes version of the blue 'truth' book. Then we had the 'knowledge' book which went over like a bomb because it was still too "difficult" and finally 'what does the bibble really teach' which is just pablum mixed with baloney.

The wt mag used to present an opportunity for "research" but I understand that is now frowned upon, as you are only supposed to parrot back the words like someone being taught a language for the first time.

No wonder the newer dubbies are wt-history dumb. They've never received anything substantial to chew on.

Today's "gay-bashing" and other embarrassing content public talk!

by stuckinarut2 in

oh wow..... the public talk today is certainly embarrassing for witnesses!.

started (completely left field too...seemed to come out of nowhere) with condemning homosexuality, and anyone who even tolerates it.

if you like tv shows or movies with gay characters, you are "just as bad" (eg modern family tv show).

Sounds as if Homophobia is alive and thriving in dub land, so sorry you had to be exposed to that nonsense. Pity the poor gay or lesbian child of any elder in the borg.

for those still "in" what's the mood

by lastchance in

in my area the general sense is bleak.

many are in survival mode.

even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

I've heard more about young ones in their 20s going late, walking around and visiting, leaving for lunch, wandering the upper decks, then leaving early.

At least they can tell daddy elder they went, huh?

Praise For Witnesses On Welfare Who Full Time Pioneer!

by minimus in

jw
friends

the watchtower has always praised witnesses who are on welfare and decided to pioneer.

many in my congregation, including my mom, were given kudos, praise and assembly parts because they took advantage of jehovah's provision through the government....did you notice this, or was it obvious to me because i was raised in the inner city and many people recieved government help?.
