  New "Caleb and Sofia" video on JW.ORG....you have to see it!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  ok, so i dont want to be a negative bitter person...and we all love little kids, but i am just so torn about the new video just uploaded on jw.org.

  if you havent watched it yet, have a look at it...."an animated series that touches hearts".

  (yes, its well done...and they certainly like to do a lot of boasting about their technical skills etc...).

  I have been hearing the idea that an outside agency makes these videos. I'm very curious if that is true. Just to say that a jdub owns an agency and oversees and assists in the process wouldn't seem goofy to me at all. I know that they have been asking for non bethelite jdub help with their phone apps as well.

  if you look at the first couple of videos the characters eyes are messed up. But as the videos have progressed the eyes have become much better. To me that is evidence that this is not being done by an outside firm. an outside firm would already have worked the bugs out of their process.

  Roll call of those of us stuck in for our spouse or whos spouse is still in!

  i just wanted to get a feel for how many here have awakened to ttatt but are still carrying on some jw activities to pacify them and keep the peace.

  also trying to hear from those who have left, but whose spouse has stayed in the wt and in the marriage.. for me it comes down to my own mental anguish.

  i am mentally tortured by attending the meetings, yet i feel compelled to because my wife would kill me with her personality if i had her drag 2 small girls by herself there.

  How long before the Wt fully embraces the internet.

  by joe134cd in

  the way things are going i believe that wt will start encouraging its members to start setting up web sites.

  i can certainly see them loosening their stand on it.

  the example i will give is the video showing the dancing in the kh, and jw defender which i believe is wt in hiding.

  I don't see them letting people set up there own websites. That would go against there control freak ways. I think they are going to double down on demonizing anything apostate.

  when i think back on when i started losing faith in the borg it all becomes kinda fuzzy.

  even when i was 19, a pioneer an ms and the local golden boy i clearly remember lying about my field service time every month.

  if i really feared jehovah there's no way i would of done that.

  BBC Radio 4 reference to 607 Babylonian conquest?

  by 88JM in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  was listening to bbc radio 4 late sunday night, and in a programme about migration, they referenced the "babylonian conquest of jerusalem in 607 b.c.

  " which caught my attention.. did they not mean 587 b.c., or did i understand it wrong?.

  the link to the programme is below - sorry if you're not in the u.k. as you probably won't be able to listen to bbc programmes.

  The Ravings of Trolls Distracts FOCUS From Real Watchtower Scandals

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.

  this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.

  it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.
