Today we get to see Nick hanging with his fellow Watchtower movie star and chorus member,
hitting the dance floor,
taking a swig,
and last but not least being made out with as a child by a tobacco puffing Liza Minnelli.
There, that's your holiday present šš
i occasionaly get a magazine left on the porch of my house.
this time it was an awake.
is the world out of control?.
"The Watchtower" and "Awake!" still exist as shells in name only, and next year are changing to only 3 issues each annually.
yesterday, they showed the story āfrom enemies to friendsā at the kingdom hall.
my mother in law told me about it as she was touched by the story.
so then, later in the evening, i searched for the video and found it in the january 1st 2017 broadcast.
Reminds me of El General, the South American pop star who returned to JWs and was shown at another meeting earlier this year. While the video implied he stopped his career cold 'for Jehovah', further research shows that "In 2004 he announced his retirement from the music industry following an incident with the Panama government because he canceled his diplomatic passport."
They also failed to mention that he runs a charity called Poor Children Without Borders which wouldn't be good for them seeing as they only want you to donate to one charity, Watchtower.
am i the only one who can't reconcile new light with the light gets brighter?
if it matters at all.
i bring a candle into my house and light it.
Brilliant analogy, this one's a keeper š
Oh get your mind out of the gutter. He's no pedo. If anything he's probably one of the more sincere GB members, seeing as he was raised in "the truth" and spent his entire life pioneering or at Bethel. Looking at and listening to him, I think he is generally in awe of his fellow GB members and considers it all a great privilege. I think he is sincerely duped. Being at that organizational level he undoubtedly gets exposed to some pretty disturbing stuff, but I'm sure he finds ways to rationalize them, like most of us did.
enough rhetoric for now, here is my promised first part to my series.. for the benefit of lurkers, i'm using mainly wt publications as my research to show this information isn't 'apostate'.
part 1: association with russell and the bible students.
i want to ask an honest question.
That 'ass of myself quote' is one of my favorites. A real gem for showing to JWs, seeing as it's in JW Library.
edit: sorry, i meant to say in the title "2017 annual meeting".. so far all i've seen is an audio only version.
however i just saw the beginning of cedar's new feature film about going to warwick and he used a clear clip from one of the am's videos, so a copy must be out there.
thanks..

december 6, 2017 to all congregations re: study of jesusāthe way.
jesusāthe way, the truth, the life.
I remember Jesus riding on 2 donkeys.
How is that possible? Standing, balancing one foot on each like a rodeo clown?
jehovah's witnesses insist that jephthah did not sacrifice his daughter to jehovah.
this is important to them because, rarther than jephthah just being a random bad person, jehovah was very much in on the deal.
after all, he made the promise to jehovah that he would "offer up as a burnt offering" on his return the first thing to come out of his house if jehovah would give the ammonites into his hands in battle, and since they were this makes jehovah complicit.. the isrealites had been getting a good thrashing of late, and the gilead elders (oh boy) had come out to ask jephthah, the rejected son of a prostitute (wouldn't you know it) and renown soldier, if he would lead the isrealites into battle for them.. this is when jephthah makes the deal with jehobo, and it all centres on the word for "burnt offering", which is given as "olah".
Plus, the NWT is the only Bible I know of that says that people would thereafter go to "give commendation" to Jepthas daughter. Every other Bible I've seen including the original Hebrew says that they would go to 'mourn' her.
the one thing that annoys me most about being a jdub is the control watchtower has over everyone.
for a start, there is absolutely no liberty in christ.
there is no freedom to openly express your own thoughts on scripture.
Only people allowed to do this is the governing body when they discuss "new light". Some of the changes they have made would be a df matter to the rest of us! UGG
And then they say stuff like, 'We're just following the lead of Jesus, holding on to the chariot.' Oh, get real. They take everyone for idiots when they act like they aren't responsible for their own decisions. Are they inspired or aren't they? You can't have it both ways!
