having been recently introduced to governing body member lett's "unique" speaking style, i found another video on youtube (and also on jw.org) of bro lett visiting the international convention in israel.
apparently his buffonery is not only reserved for video intro's to dramas, but also in real life as well.. i used to think those ol' time pentacostal and baptist ministers in tents would overdue it......i was wrong.
this guy has them all beat.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltvx_e4xe4e.
I'm sorry, it has to be said: Stephen Lett is a gurning moron. Perhaps he should have become an actor?
Anyway, his latest act isn't fooling me.
Next stop for Bro Lett: Gaza City International Convention

i was a loving tyrant' ... prince.
in an exclusive interview with the guardian's film&music, prince said: "it's fun being in islamic countries, to know there's only one religion.
Prince: It is fun being in Islamic Countries - ridiculous comment from a pampered pop star. Celebrities often mindlessly enthuse over third world countries - I've read about Muhammad Ali saying how wonderful Zaire was (!), before he fought George Foreman.
What's stopping Prince from leaving America (the Great Satan) and moving to an Islamic country?

it is just as much "required" by custom that men wear long tunics or gowns, even (kameez or thobes) to protect THEIR modesty - yes, I've noticed more than a few muslim men wearing a kind of gown where I live. Looks a bit gay to me.

what's the problem with prophecy?prophecy primarily requires a pattern recognition or insightful strategy not an analytical strategy.
prophecy rarely gives names whether of empires or their rulers.
even the name of the messiah - yeshua -wasn't foretold.
i've been debating this, and my mother (the spiritual head of my family, she even controls my father spiritually, who is an elder) doesn't seem to be starkly against me going to a prestigious university.
in fact, i've been going over my chances, and i'd say i have a pretty decent chance of going to my dream university, oxford university, to study philosophy, politics, and economics.
naturally i wouldn't tell my mother about me wanting to take the three most hated subjects of jws at a university that would bring me into bad relations with "spiritually sound jws".. do you guys know any ex-jw or knowledgeable jw who knows ttatt that went to a randall group or ivy league school?
Hi Ivan.
I'm currently in my final year at uni, although not at Oxbridge/Russell group uni.
My uni's way down the list
Deciding to go to uni is the best decision I've made in my life to date.
I think it's fantastic that you have a chance of going up to Oxford!
My advice, FWIW, is go and enjoy your studies. While there's nothing wrong with parties/social events, make your lectures, coursework, essays and exams your main priority.
Just one question, why PPE? Are you thinking of going into politics?
could he be the next "celebrity" jw?

Huge ego, believes he's superior to everyone else, insensitive to others' feelings, judgmental ... he could fit right in with the JWs.
Yes, Simon Cowell could definitely be elder material
embrace judeo-christian culture and values!
is this politician serious?.

..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

The natural world appears to be organised to maximise the suffering of animals - I'm not sure about this. Maybe the natural world is merely indifferent to the suffering of animals?
I do agree with you - the natural world, aka reality, is a huge problem for theists.
