So Satan is described as being proud, wants to be like God, wants to be worshipped......
Sounds just like the GB!

Satan Wants to Be Like God and Have Mankind Worship Him.....Yeah Right....
by xjwsrock ini heard this tired line re-ran again at this year's convention.
satan supposedly wanted to be like god and be worshiped - you know, the whole pride thing.
they really made a big deal about how his "thoughts" led to his sin in the garden of eden and how we need to control our thoughts to avoid the same result.

Tony Morris has those dead soulless eyes of a psychopath and his smarm-bucket voice makes my skin crawl.

Bunker Video: Why No Concluding Scene?
by Wild_Thing ini was wondering why they ended the "bunker video" as they did ... with an armed militia finding the jws huddled in the corner of the basement ... fade to black.
the jws watching don't know what happened after that.
did they kill them?

What we don't see when the camera stops is that these "police" are actually a strip-a-gram ensemble and they break into dance routine - Kevin arranged it as a joke 😉
Hmmm what would be the song I wonder.... M C Hammer - Can't touch this ....maybe, no no I know En Vogue - Free Your Mind.

I 'd hazard a guess that are plenty of people religious and otherwise who do not like/ agree/accept homosexuality but not one of those people come directly to my door to tell me what they believe.
Only JWs and the odd mormon has ever come directly to my door hoping to explain/ impose their beliefs to/on me in the hope that I would join them in believing what they believe.
I'm all for free speech, and everyones , including JW's right to believe whatever they want to believe.
What I don't agree with is WT pressuring children through manipulative animations to do their dirtywork/preaching for them at school to other children. Sophia's classmates have a rights aswell. The right to go to school and learn without a JW child telling them at recess that their mommies won't get into paradise...... for instance.

The thing is I was always under the impression as a JW that during the GT when the "beast turns on the harlot and eats up her fleshy parts" (sounds like Hanninbal Lecter)that JWs would still be faithfully carrying out their preaching work under the very noses of the authorities and that's what would get our asses arrested, not that we would be hunted down and dragged out of our own homes. So obviously WT thinks that in the near future sitting in your tastefully appointed basement chatting peacefully will be a crime worthy of arrest. Give me a break!
The whole thing raises more questions that it answers.
Why were they arrested? They weren't doing anything, it makes no sense.
How did the police know where to look?
Did they sieze publisher record cards to find out where JWs live?
Where are the GB and what the hell are they doing when all this is supposedly going on?
The point of the videos? Pure unadulterated fear porn brought to you by JWdotborg.

Moral indignation against "faders" shows JW apologists are morally bankrupt
by slimboyfat ini came across this weird blog that castigates fading jws for their "cowardice" and "hypocrisy" for not making themselves vulnerable to shunning.
apparently in the view of this blogger jws who discover it's not the truth are morally obliged to play by the watchtower rules and face the consequences of shunning.. http://jwresearchblog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/fading-faking-and-lying-as-unbelieving.html#comment-form.
what is absent from the blog post is any discussion of the statement in the july 2009 awake!, that no one should be made to choose between their beliefs and their family.

The reality is a WT baptism is not binding in any way, shape or form and WT has no real authority over anyone.

Is Knowing/Using The Name Of God Important?
by Vanderhoven7 ini say no.. although the tetragrammaton appears close to 7000 times in the hebrew scriptures, the personal name of god does not.
seems to me that god made sure that both that his personal name does not appear therein and that no one would ever actually know it or learn even how to pronounce it.
he also made sure that his name (baring 3 hallelujahs in revelation) did not appear in the new testament.

Yeah, that's what WT would want people to believe - that it's all about Jehovah being God and Jesus being the Son and maybe it started out that way, maybe there were sincere reasons in the beginning (generous applying of the benefit of the doubt there) but, it is a brandname for WT. A brandname pure and simple.
