Kevin Smith on Prince (2013) .... verrryyyy in-ter-esting! I think the jWS

by talesin in

... may be rotting his brain with the jw crazy.

: ( so sad for this great artist to be engulfed by the jw - the crazy is so apparent.

*sigh* always loved prince, but the jws have really done a number on his head.

Ehhh, I dunno. He has always been mentally unstable, and he appears to have a sort of God complex, where he thinks his opinions are vastly more important than others and he has some special deeper view of the universe. I think even he believes that special meaning can be found things he says, almost like he thinks he's a seer or something. He gives me the creeps and comes off as very difficult to live with, even casually associate or work with. He's been through several religions already, and based on recent actions and artistic choices, I'm wondering if he's even an active JW anymore.

Thanks!

Quick question: there was a fourth review video at the end, as well as a video that played last week, a clip from the annual meeting with the blooper cut out. Do you have those? I know, I'm selfish.

Youths planning for the future leaflet

by slimboyfat in

does anyone remember around the tear 2000, maybe just before or after, there was a leaflet released at the summer convention aimed at teenagers called something like, "planning for a worthwhile future"?

basically it argued that you shouldn't go to college or university and put your trust in "the world".

instead you should trust in jehovah, pioneer and reach out for bethel or missionary service.

Notice the badly photo shopped head of the dark haired boy on the top right? If you have the original print version you'll notice that he was replaced . . .

Can somebody explain the songs and songbook obsession?

by careful in

i've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.

but one thing i've noticed that the org.

has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.

Cutting through all the theorizing and digression, here's the simple answer:

They are working on a new songbook that will have 150 songs total (just like the Psalms), will have updated lyrics that match the scripture quotations from the revised NWT, and will also have the same gray flexible cover. Instead of releasing it all at once like usual, they are doing it gradually, and by the time the new complete songbook comes out, it will have been about 7 years since the last one, not the shortest stretch between books that they've had.

There are no publishing costs. Lulu is a 100% automated print on demand self publisher with no quality control. The writer is delusional at this price point.

Is it true? Heard a rumor WT postphones Disfellowshipping until further notice!!??

by Olivia Wilde in

i am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.

i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.

has anyone else heard anything like this recently?

neat blue dog

Heyyy . . . what if . . . they reversed the policy and said that disfellowdhipped and disassociated ones should be welcomed . . . and then reversed it a few months later, after many finally felt free to leave without repercussions. Kind of like a trap? It would strengthen the ranks, smaller but stronger.

Too Much Discontent in the Congregation Part 2

by Simon Templar in

here is part 2..

so you will have some understanding of the boe i will reference in future posts, the following is who they are:.

the coordinator.

You're description was so spot on I was literally get excited for a second thinking, 'Is this person from my congregation?!'

Literally, I'm not exaggerating or joking. But then I thought about it and the ages and marital situations you mentioned didn't match up. Uncanny nonetheless!!
