was just pondering the mindset of the average jw.. would it be appropriate to think that many are sycophants?.
think of the way they act towards those they preach to.
or the way they act towards one another in the congregation - especially towards those taking the lead (elders).

What about the way they fawn at the Governing Body or Bethel representatives?
Thoughts?
can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?
this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.
If God is so loving, he should just FORGIVE without having to perform some barbaric blood-lust activity!
this manipulative new caleb and sophia video has got me so angry!!.
the level of cultiness has just gone to a whole new level!.

So Sophia is told NOT to seek the praise of people for being successful at using her "god given brain", but is told to picture the heavenly throngs all praising her??
So, it is encouraging a self-centered view! It distorts JW kids minds to think that the heavenly throngs are focussed on THEM PERSONALLY! How conceited and selfish!

I had the same thoughts Listener!
For a video aimed at children, those parts were confusing.

so as a child and youth growing up as a witness, (i'm 43 now) we often heard the expression "new world order".. the society just doesnt use that expression anymore.
so what was the reasoning behind them amending that expression?.
Great reply Anders.
Yes, I too have heard the expression used by conspiracy nuts nowdays...so I find it funny that JWs used to use the term so often!
this video has to be watched!
ben is truly wonderful guy who i count as a genuine friend!
his insights and experiences are so interesting.. enjoy:.
Thanks TweetieBird! Thats very kind of you to say!
You may be on to something there...maybe we will indeed do something in the future.

on the heels of a $35 million jury award to a woman who alleged the congregation mishandled her childhood abuse, other survivors say there's a pattern of cover-ups.

Appalling!
The more media exposure the cult gets, the better!
Of course, JWs will not read or believe such reports, as they are "satanic lies", but at least more people from the community will be warned against their smooth speech when they come a-knocking!
Yes, as steve2 said "by their fruits you will recognize them!"
