  Explain the Anthony Morris thing to me

  by optimisticskeptic in

  1. watchtower

  ok, so can someone explain with relative brevity what the anthony morris thing is all about.

  i certainly don't miss the guy but would like as valid of an explanation as possible without a bunch of paranoid conspiracies that no one can verify.

  as best as i can tell from cryptic comments on here is he is no longer on the gb but in a congregation in the carolinas somewhere.

  Only to screenshots of it, because they deleted it themselves relatively quickly.

  The 1989 version was hardcover, and the soft version with kids on the front was over a decade later. Also there were several deleted kids, they replaced that one head multiple times.

  What does it look like where they staged vandalism of the pyramid as a pretext to remove it? Is it just overgrown with grass now or any sort of marker left?

  not sure if this was posted yet but the second gb member has been spotted with more than a mustache, and the first one going for a full beard (at about 3 minutes into the video):.

  Nicolas King starting to be removed from website

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it took them much longer than expected, but all the wt chorus videos in which he was a member have been removed from the music videos section.

  interestingly the audio version of song 141 in which he sings, as well as even his solos like song number 127 all remain, but as we know appearance is all that matters.

  also of course his role in the drama "these words must be on your heart" can't be easily fixed but that's less of a problem as he was playing a 'bad guy' to begin with..

  More worship of men and framing as means of conveying pedagogy

  by mortimer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the latest study article 51: enjoy a hope without disappointment, we're treated with a paragraph describing the previous president of the watchtower, frederick franz, as an example of a 'brother' who cherishes the hope of his heavenly appointment.

  we are further treated with a picture of this man meant certainly to evoke a sense of reverence for him (and by extension the organizations' leadership).

  the watchtower is very purposeful in how it frames any point it makes in its published work.

  Ironic since Franz openly disagreed with the concept of a GB and even was caught on tape speaking against it in a Gilead talk.

  Did Geoffrey Jackson lie under oath at the ARC?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i understand he intimated that the faithful slave was not the only spokesman for jehovah god.

  he also intimated that corporal punishment was not advocated by the wts.

  we're these lies or deception or did they represent the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?.

  He didn't lie. It *is* presumptuous."

  And even that part was worded so he wouldn't get in trouble with JWs. He said it would "seem" to be presumptuous.

  Sparlock Toy

  by NotFormer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wasn't around when the sparlock thing hit about 11 years ago, but it became such a meme that that debacle still gets mentioned from time to time.

  one thing that came up in conversations of the time was about how dumb the name was; that someone in bethel could have come up with a less lame name.

  i think that that bethelite was trying to be clever by using "warlock" as the stem and dropping the "w".

  To be fair it's a clever name. Sparlock is specifically called a "warrior wizard", (fight=spar), spar+warlock.
