so i was watching some of the dramas screened at the be courageous convention, and one caught my eye.. it's the scene where a group of jw teens are watching something deemed as "sinful" at the movie theaters.
there were only sound effects, so i decided to fill in the blanks.. https://vimeo.com/275184883.
bottom line: machine guns = bad.
Great thread!
Thanks for creating and sharing it @Wake me!
I suppose the GB miss the point about "not loving violence", when the VERY THING JEHOVAH supposedly will do is act with violence by murdering 7 billion people ....
And his track record throughout the bible is one of backing genocidal wars!
How do we spell hypocrisy??
my dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).
he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.
he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.
You know, another of our friends here on the forum also shred that just as he was down to his last few dollars last week, he received a job that covered all his expenses! Not too long back, he would have attributed this to Jehovah's blessing too!

I can see the Apostate Convention now:
I will be doing the "experiences" part after the lunch break, and will call Brother Dubstepped to the platform.
"Brother Dubstepped, can you share with us your faith-strengthening account of a time that Jehovah's rich blessing was felt on your life?"
You recount your "experience" and the audience all claps.

As soon as you started this post, I have this song stuck in my head!

Ah, yes!
"the Lord works in mysterious ways!"
i asked this question to a relative after mentioning several situations where teachings were changed or readjusted (new light) and they have two reasons.
yes, they are correct because look at how the preaching work has grown through the decades and the advancements in witnessing and the second reason was the doctrine of the trinity and how the society opposes that.
i didn’t really have a response, especially for the trinity doctrine.. does the governing body have the rejection of the trinity belief correct?.
The only thing the GB or their predecessors got correct was:
"Religion is a snare and a racket!"
if anyone has not yet watched the fantastic 2017 movie "the big sick", i would highly recommend it!.
without giving too much away, there are two scenes in it that we as ex jws will relate to.. the first scene shows the main character being chastised and rejected by his parents for not following their religious and cultural expectations and marrying a muslim girl.
the parents effectively "disfellowship" him from their family!

The next clip shows how he handles that! It is brilliant!
has anyone else seen the movie "confessions of a teenage jesus jerk"?.
im still processing it, and trying to work out my thoughts..... i would be interested in others thoughts..
Good observations Dubstepped!
I share your views. It seemed to miss the mark on some aspects. I also do not know why some points were put into the film (cousin sex).
But I suppose, all exposure of the cult to the mainstream population is good in some ways....
never have understood why sudden destruction most come after announcement of peace and security.
is not peace and security a good thing?
can someone give a logical answer to it..
Ah well, NO ONE except Jehovah has the right to bring in "Peace and Security" you see.
And he will usher this in by means of a mass GENOCIDE of Billions of people...
