  Leaked videos - Why?

  by NewYork44M in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thank you to those that have passed on "leaked" videos.

  one point that i have not seen discussed is "why" apostates are getting these videos.. are videos getting out because of a lack of internal controls, or are there more than a few disloyal insiders that are more than happy to pass on inside information.

  or, is there a strategic intent of releasing leaked videos?.

  I really admire and appreciate all who share and leak these videos etc.

  Its not surprising though that it can be done, as the information often passes through SO MANY hands.

  For instance, when I was an MS, the CO came to do his visit, and there was a video he was to show to the Elders and MS only. (It was that appalling video on the elders counselling the sister who lost her husband in death and felt suicidal)

  Anyway, he gave me the flash drive of the video a few days before the meeting so I could set it up in advance.

  There was nothing stopping me from copying it and distributing it worldwide if I chose to.

  So, I would say that poor procedures is one main reason things get out.

  You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!

  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.

  JWs at the Movies

  by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

  2. humour

  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??

  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.

  Has the Governing Body ever been right?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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!"
