  New WT on "Hate" is actually a little bit based

  by neat blue dog in

  the new public wt on hate, especially racial hate just came out and seeing as how left-leaning the org is in regards to so many non-sexual things (like mandates and lockdowns, guns, war, patriotism, freedom of thought and speech, climate change, etc.

  ) i was fully expecting the magazine to lean into the media lies of black victimhood, etc.

  however was pleasantly surprised to see a few valid thoughts, such as this opening image of everything seemingly being blamed on the white man.. .

  truth_b_known: "it is of no surprise it would use a topic being used by mass media to sell its product"

  The surprise isn't the topic, but the take.

  There were also a couple experiences of black men who admitted to starting almost all the conflict they got into.

  
  

  Also the word "vandalism" was itself used a couple of times, not as a means of protest, but as a form of hate right alongside so-called hate crimes, and this was the final picture in that regard.

  
  

  Of course, the thought they want you to come away with is that only JWs have overcome hate, and the only hope is a paradise Earth. There is also the blatant hypocrisy of seemingly promoting diversity and non-discrimination while doing the opposite, but besides that a few elements I never would've guessed they'd go for.

  Biblical Anachronisms in JW Literature

  in a recent post ffghost made a comment about how they're always inserting modern concepts into biblical narratives to make it relatable to jw's organization.

  here are some that come to mind:.

  - the capitalized term "governing body" when referring to the older men in jerusalem (really just another group of christians that paul outspokenly disagreed with and didn't look to for approval).

  I just remembered in the 50s/60s they imposed a beardless Jesus which in itself was kind of an anachronism.

  LongHairGal:

  Speaking of hair, why are some people wearing curlers the night before, have Farrah Fawcett hair or obviously got a perm recently depending on the decade? 😅

  Also, how about the 1st century baptism pictures where their arms are still held the same and the family watches while laughing, smiling and politely clapping? All that's needed to add is taking selfies afterward.

  Yes I know what you mean there have been a bunch of those doorway leaning ones 🤣 however there was one recent painting used widespread with bookbags, (or cross-body bags ((stake-body bags?😏)) It's this one:

  - the capitalized term "Governing Body" when referring to the older men in Jerusalem (really just another group of Christians that Paul outspokenly disagreed with and didn't look to for approval)

  - Jephthah's daughter entering full-time service after being encouraged by her friends (a deliberate mistranslation of her actual human sacrifice and the mourning that followed)

  - paintings of early Christians going door to door with bookbags (even though they preached town to town, visited private homes only for food and lodging and were told specifically not to keep going house to house)

  Can you think of any more?

  They want to milk this for as long as possible as pestilence is a sign of the last days.

  No special privileges or permissions needed, as the fact is there was never a conflict of interest with serving in the military and being a Christian. Just ask baptized officer Cornelius! In the words of Peter, "Can anyone ... prevent these from being baptized who have received the holy spirit just as we have?"
