  Thoughts of summer and ummmmm

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe i still have the j.w mentality, but i am seriouse....why on hot summer days do the youngsters wear such gloomy colors?

  it makes little sence,.. o.k maybe they are rebelling, and there hearts are in the right place, but why can't they rebel in cheerful bright orage tea-shirts, especially during the summer months.

  but there you go ugggg beautiful girls in such dark and gloomy colors ...its summer girls make an old man feel glad.. .

  Cool, will watch that, channel 4 had a documentary on the moonies a few years ago which was interesting, even though at the time I was all 'glad we're not like those guys' Oops.

  im really channeling my inner blondie with my observation and critiques of these new watchtower videos.

  something about them really turns my stomach.

  Excellent commentary wing (and Ann) I didn't pick up on Jesus absence and I really should have!

  Sir82, that reminds me of the time another JW and I were in a Kenya congregation. The Watchtower was on materialism and my friend answered about 8 times, as over half the Congregation did not have running water and electricity and we were staying in a 4 star hotel down the road I found this very embarrassing. At least I was self aware enough to understand my privilege, but a lot of JWs really are oblivious.

  New DVD review

  by Laika in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i managed to catch the new dvd on youtube last night before the inevitable takedown.

  as a film i felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as the prodigal movie, the story wasn't as dramatic, the characters much less interesting and developed and the direction weaker.

  i found the prodigal relatively entertaining (all things considered) this one was just dull.. here are some of my random thoughts anyway [spoiler alert - ha!].

  Once, good point, in JW world this family would have been considered materialistic and spiritually weak (until the end of the movie) This would have hurt their JW social life, but of course this issue was never raised in the film.

  Konceptual, he states in the video he became a JW in his mid-20s. Assumingly after college, then.

  Yes, the house was enormous. Just because both parents work long hours it doesn't guarantee they'll be that wealthy.

  I somehow forgot the very worst part of the film! There was a horrible analogy between a piece of machinery that the Father had developed in his job, it was slightly too small or something making it worthless, his point was that going even a small amount outside of Jehovah's boundaries can be disastrous. Or makes you worthless I guess. This was in a speech by a father to his daughter about dating a worldly boy. Horrible.
